I signed up for Numb3rs Slash Ficathon, the theme of which is role reversal, but I signed up BEFORE thinking of a reversal and/or pairing, so since then I've been trying to figure out what to write.

Now I'm thinking about swapping Millie and Ian. Good idea, y/y?

My mind has just been blow by this possibility.

Do it, do it, do it, do it!!

[sororcula]

RIGHT? It would be awesome.

[magisterequitum]

Damn straight.

[sororcula]

I'm glad I have your approval! I thought people would think I was weird or something.

[mercilynn]

WHAT, Mary? Millie and Ian? I don't know whether to think it's the most awesome idea EVER or cringe! :-p

[sororcula]

IT'S AWESOME AND YOU KNOW IT, LADY.

Hon, you go boldly where no one has gone before. I fully support you in this unique endeavor.

IDK why nobody else thinks of these things! Haha.

I also have an idea to swap Coop and Charlie, though. Maybe I'll have to write both.

[mustangcandi]

Yes. This.

:)

Ian and Milly swap.

Coop and Charlie swap.

It's effing brilliant!

[sororcula]

I was planning them out as separate stories because I'm not sure I can keep track of that many switches, but Ian as Professor Cooper's new boss is kind of intriguing... *cough*

I've heard that term before...but never in the same context; N3-wise, the events would be:
* suddenly Charlie is learning at Amita's knee. (oh the mental image)
* self-confident and patient Ian suddenly becomes self-doubtful and anxious, while impulsive Colby abruptly becomes a zen master.

are both examples true?

[sororcula]

I am no expert, but I think both of those probably count as some form of role-reversal. For this challenge, though, I'm reading it more as a literal... position swap, I guess (i.e. the first example). But I've actually been struggling with figuring out how much of the characters' original personalities to keep and how much to swap them!

[rodlox]

so...sniper Millie and University head Ian?

well, Millie probably retains her ability to not act rashly (ie to not bang together the skulls of bickering department heads) ;)

[sororcula]

so...sniper Millie and University head Ian?

Exactly!

[spikedluv]

Yes! That's an awesome idea. I'd love to see Edgerton as Charlie's boss. *bg*

(Dropped by because Candi mentioned your 'things that make me happy' post and I happened to see this post, as you do, and so I had to click on it . . . *g*)

[sororcula]

Haha, yay! I should've put this fic on that list because it always amuses me to think about. :-)

I just have to, you know... write it... LOL.
