Fanfiction
Mar. 20th, 2008 09:10 amI really need to just get a feed made from this journal, so I don't have to cross-post everything. I'm already behind about things like that.
Anyway, I have two whacked out crossover-fusion ideas. The less weird is a Fullmetal Alchemist/Vorkosigan Saga crossover* with tinges of Elizabeth Bear's work, involving nanotech. The second is a Firefly/Crest of the Stars crossover, mostly themed around 'loss of the frontier' and probably AU to the Big Damn Movie.
* I totally blame othercat@LJ. Well, that and the fact both series ahve main characters who are Very Self Conscious about their heights, and probably would have been much taller, if not for unforseen Tragic Circumstances. (The fact Miles's mother nearly died of poison gas when she was pregnant wiht him, and the whole 'Ed bound his brother's soul to armor' thing.) Plus, Miles is one of the few adult men Ed is taller than.
Granted, given the number of other Large Fanfic Ideas I have -- In the Shadows of the Flames, The Sun, Half Covered (and the end of that trilogy -- why did I finish the second one first again? Oh yeah, NaNo.), the Avatar AU, a couple of mid-sized Dresden Files fics -- I think it's safe to say I will never write these.Especially not if I just sit and play RPGs and Harvest Moon after work.
