Challenge #3

In your own space, put some favorite characters into an AU, fuse some favorite canons together, talk about your favorite AU/fusion tropes, or tell us why AU/fusions aren’t your cup of tea. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


Ultimately I don't mind cross-over fics.  However they need to have "a good reason".  I don't like ones of people just "bumping into" each other, then having fun and going on their way.  I suppose, as I like sci fi it's easy as there can be a real inventive reason that the people all get together ... but, I do need that reason.

I am also "boring" as basically any pairings I like I don't like seeing the individuals with other people, whether in their own show, or not.

I have read a couple of Voyager (Janeway/Chakotay) and Stargate SG1 (O'Neill/Carter) crossovers ... which both have good story lines, as well as leading both couples to progress as pairings.  However, I would love to read some more!  Those 2 pairings have a lot in common - sci fi travellers, as well as the difficulty of conflicting ranks within the military.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! It does make sense that an AU with a good basis, a proper story line and some progress in the relationship can be more enjoyable than a random mix of settings and characters.

Oh yes - I love a story (of any length) that has a proper plot, which some authors find impossible to do

So I kind of misread that last paragraph as I was scrolling through my reading page, because I read it as Janeway/Carter and was then very intrigued!

LOL - I don't read F/F ... however Janeway/Carter would be a stunning pairing .... Talk about saving the world, the universe, and everything in between!! However, they are both strong characters so it would be an interesting relationship (to say the least)
