Beetle fic? Me?

Even when I do grab onto a large fandom, I disappear into some small unseen pocket.

Heh exactly.

And I like your Blue Beetle idea. Even the Stargate one because you know Ted would get along amazingly well with Jack as well as everyone else but.

I think what upset me the most about Ted's death was yeah how great he was in Birds of Prey but also I liked the future Waid gave him in Kingdom Come. The idea that eventually he would harness the scarab's abilities and make himself a suit of armor and help design Bruce's robots.

And the butchering of Max's character was just as painful.

Plus, the Kingdom Come costume was freaking sweet. There were little antennae. *was kind of fixated on Ted's armor in KC for, like, weeks after she read it*

It totally was.

I've been wanting to do a Beetle/Stargate crossover myself, actually. You're definitely not the only one. What I was going to do was totally AU the Beetle stuff insto its own little world (I can't imagine Stargate and the entire DCU existing in the same universe, but I didn't want to play a big OMG We've Stepped Into An AU kinda thing), and then plop that into the Stargate Universe, so you wound up with a youngish Ted who 1) for some reason had the scarab, who'd just witnessed Dan's death, was implicated in both the murder of Jarvis and Dan (as he should have been), and was getting hounded by the Air Force about this scarab he claimed not to have, or whatever. The idea sort of faded out over time, but that was how I was gonna play it.

It would be really interesting to do a "quantum mirror" kinda thing with the Stargate crew, and have them in the DCU, trying to figure out the essence of all this Egyptian stuff. What do you have there, anyway? The Hawkfolks, Dr. Fate, Blue Beetle, etc.

I'd like to see the Goa'ulds as both chaos and

I think your ramblings inspired mine. Alas I'm in the same boat in that I really don't know that much Stargate, other than the basics. (I do know people who know the verse though...)

And let's not forget Teth Adam aka Black Adam in that mix.

You probably can get by on basics if you're doing a crossover. If you did need help with the verse though, I'd gladly help out to get more Ted fic.

Oh man. Black Adam would have so much fun with the Goa'uld. Though I think he'd be happier screwing over the Tok'ra.

I could see that. That would work really well actually.

It would be interesting if he was at the SGC. I bet he'd figure out how to reprogram the replicators and make them good. I mean, having a friendly legion of mechanical bugs would be really, really hard for him to resist.

You could always use the Tok'ra as the order or the chaos. Plus there's the Ancients and the Ascended. Really, the Goa'uld would be chaos and the Ascended would be order. Or possibly the Asgard. But they all suck. Hawk and Dove would definitely have their work cut out for them.

Really if the focus is on the DC characters and you're familiar-ish with SG-1, you could pull it off. I love the show, but it's not overly complicated if you're looking at the big picture of it.

And it occurs to me that Ra's ah Ghul and the Goa'uld would get along really, really, really well.

All this talk about two of my favorite fandoms is really making me want to write a fic.

Well, a Stargate cross-over would be easy! Just put Ted Kord in the SG-Universe. He went with his archeologist friend, Dan Garrett, on a dig and found the scarab. The scarab could be anything from a Goa`uld personal field generator to an Ancient device -- Dan Garrett had the genetic marker, Ted didn't. There have been at least three or four episodes that have been based on Goa`uld tech, or the actual snakes, showing up on Earth; it wouldn't be that far-fetched.

Kordtronics could then go on to be one of those companies that does research on the stuff the SG teams find. Heck, Ted could even be one of the civilian scientists who sometimes goes through the Stargate -- ala Daniel Jackson.

If you really, really wanted to have fun, put Ted on the same team as Captain Nathaniel Adams. ;-)

Oh boy... now that is an idea... interpret the DCu from the viewpoint of everything stems somehow from the Stargate ideas. Whether it is Ancients or Go'Auld or Asgard, I bet ya could tie in or create every one oft he DCU that way...
