why my AUs never get written...

Last night I was thinking of a mirror universe storyline where John, Elizabeth, Lorne, and Zelenka are forced by parallel Evil!Them through the dimensional mirror into a randomly chosen parallel universe, and have to collaborate with their counterparts to get home. And my AU!Rodney...yes, well:

His parents emigrated to the U.S. when he was three
His parents died when he was five
His foster parents were ignorant losers
His foster father molested him
He built a nonworking nuclear bomb when he was eleven
The FBI took him from his foster family and placed him with a colonel who'd career-hopped from Special Forces to Special Projects
He bonded so intensely with his new dad that his heart became set on following in his footsteps and joining the Special Forces
Having gotten a master's degree or two by the time he was eighteen, he enlisted and...etc etc.
Emotionally damaged and rather childlike, he doesn't flinch from snapping necks and knifing throats
But the powers that be persuade him into Special Projects and then the Stargate Program...
...on his condition that they keep him fed with occasional black-ops work on the side
And he and John find each other and live happily ever after
And then there might have been a montage of maniacal stick-fighting set to Tool's "Forty-six and 2" with close-ups on AU!Rodney's ripped muscles and scars

*facepalm*

But you still respect me, don't you?

OH GOD YOU DON'T RESPECT ME! *flees the Internet forever*

I rarely comment on your LJ, but may I just say that you made me very happy with this image. Yes, yes, I just did.

Mmm... ::happy place::

Now back to evil taxwork.

You really ought to write that AU. It'd be awesome.

cathexys on October 14th, 2005 10:22 pm (UTC)

see, the thing with AUs is that in a good writer's hand the craziest premises will just rock!! same with xovers! i was reccing xovers to someone yesterday and she was utterly skeptical about the wacky verses and emailed back today and loved it.

so, knowing you and your writing, i'd totally print this out, sight unseen, and know i'd probably reread it many times and adore the heck out of it :-)

I know this is going to sound wierd b/c you don't know me, but I can't help it. I *love* crossovers. Sooo much. Would you be willing to point some out to me? I would really appreciate it. You can email me at rositamia@yahoo.com, if you'd like. Thanks.

LOL...if you love xovers you probably know all the ones i recced...my friend just left her monofannish universe and it's a brave new world out there :-) [the one that so surprised her were kelli matthews' shadows fade and martha's tatters, b/c i guess most three-way xovers tend to be bad...but i'll gladly email you, b/c i'm actually fixing to write on xovers (or at least thinking about it), so i can use any and all crossover enthusiasts to figure out wehat makes a successful crossover]

sorry eliade, taking it to email now...

eliade on October 15th, 2005 12:56 am (UTC)

Heh...that's the only story I ever got a flame on. *g* Which I probably deserved to some degree, because I knew almost nothing of canon Methos at the time. (And still don't.)

cathexys on October 15th, 2005 12:59 am (UTC)

*g* neither do i, so i can read all highlander xovers with wild abandon (since my true love's for mulder anyway :-)

and does is it freak you at times when you look at the dates on these???

What? No penguins? Of course I won't respect you. In the morning. A gazillion years from now. In another dimension.

Rodney! Eeee!

Oh, this is a compelling vision of Rodney, not to mention the perfect way to start the weekend. :)

R-E-S-P-E-C-T? Hell, hon - that's too small a word for what we feel for you!

lovessong on October 15th, 2005 12:22 am (UTC)

I think I will only respect you if you do write the AU. Or any AU. OK, actually, anything you want to write. Anything at all.

*easy like that*

So, clearly the question is not do I respect you, but do you respect me and my fic-slut ways?
