"Name three fics [sic] you think I'd never write, and I'll try to write a snippet from at least one of them."

Variation from [livejournal.com profile] arjuna_lj: I reserve the right to request a substitute if you pick fandoms I don't write, or know.

The hard part, of course, is trying to figure out a fic you might not write...

1) After being exchanged for each other, Vala Mal Doran and Aeryn Sun have to pretend to be each other until the can be switched back.

2) Lois Lane ditches Superman for Jimmy Olsen

3) Quite by accident, Hawkeye discovers that Radar is not the innocent naif he thought him to be.

Um...

That's - actually not what I had in mind when I wrote that.

But you're right - it's not a fic I thought you'd ever do.

How about Harry Potter and Ben Grimm, where they are discussing the one thing (no pun intended) that they have in common?

That was the only one that has come to mind so far. I'm trying to think of something else that you HAVEN'T done yet.

If he can't think of another two, I'll contribute 2 for which I was unable to think of a satisfactory third ("Eric John Stark takes passage to Tatooine on the Millenium Falcon?" Naw. "The Cybermen offer the Master their own peculiar brand of immortality?" Too much like the one with the Borg. &c.)

2. The Doctor meets the Pope, and they have more in common either expects. (Preferably the Pertwee Doctor, since you don't seem to write him nearly as much, and a suitably contemporary Pope.)

3. Captain Kirk dies, and that's OK.

I must have missed it. Accordingly, I withdraw it — #3, unless I'm badly mistaken (you seem to have this "Once and Future Kirk" thing going on).

I was just trying to give you an excuse to write the original suggestion, since I'm not one of your "regulars". If you don't want to take it, I'm hardly going to insist! (The reason I keep hanging around is that I think that you may think the way I think, more or less, which is dangerous and intriguing. I was complaining about how all the time-travel stories had messed up the Star Trek continuity beyond the Next Generation epoch to the point that the Federation apparently became the Time Lords, and shortly thereafter I stumbled onto your site and discovered you had written exactly that.)
