Right. Before I get started, allow me to excuse explain this particular spiel, or at least the reasons behind it.

I've been reading a lot of ATF-verse fic lately (All hail the awesomeness that is Mog) and the particular fics which brought this one were the 'Denuo' series, which I ran across on Blackraptor, and 'More than One Kind of Hero', which

Oh my god. You're - wicked good. What an awesome idea for an Ez-illness.

I've been checking out your journal; however in the world did you get into M7??? Just curious, 'cause I think it's a great thing - but I am very curious about the path that wound to it . . .

Thank god for that. I was worried anyone who read this would think I was insane. But what better way to show your love for a character than to saddle him with some bizarre genetic defect...?

I got into Mag7 by the oddest route. I was on youtube, trying to find the version of 'Holding out for a Hero' that's in Shrek 2, and the vid I found was to M7 clips. Initially I was just listening to the music with the window minimised, but then I actually watched it and discovered that this fandom was made of awesome. So I went looking for fic. After having browsed through the recs on crack_van, I went out and bought season 1 on DVD. And then a couple of weeks ago I started writing.

How - wonderful. you came into it the same way I did, through the fandom. I was reading it several years before I started writing it because I had a close friend who was in it and I was reading her fic (she did, oddly, Josiah/Ezra slash - who knew how off the wall that was going to be?).

Yes - the fandom is made of awesome and glad you've found BR and the crack_van recs - they are among the best stories out there. (I love crack_van). Check out Drinking n' Fighting (http://dnf.slashcity.org/index.php) as well - the current benevolent list dictator, Charlotte, is the other MB fan who's been thinking of the Aliens/M7 crossover story!

I've come into so many fandoms this way: SG-1, Starsky and Hutch, Life on Mars... Mag7's the only one I write for, though. It's amazing how much of a feel you can get for important canon events through fic.

(Josiah/Ezra? How magnificently insane)

I've written the beginning of the crossover, though all we have so far is a brief appearance by Chris, and no aliens as of yet. I'll work on it. I'll look forward to reading Charlotte's take on it.
