DPP: Alternate Universes

[ninjamonkey73.livejournal.com]

Greetings and salutations, 'shipper nation! This is Amy, known on your internets as ninjamonkey73, and I'm driving the DPP bus this week. Sit back and enjoy the ride...

Lee and Kara are timeless. Our fandom is spilling over with great AU works. Let's talk about how you like to imagine Lee and Kara outside of their post-apocolyptic space adventure.

Wikipedia gives the following definition at the page on Alternate Universes:

Commonly abbreviated AU, stories of this type are usually what-ifs, where possibilities arising from different circumstances or character decisions are explored. Unlike regular fan fiction, which generally remains within the boundaries of the canon set out by the author, alternative universe fiction writers like to explore the possibilities of pivotal changes made to characters' history, motivations or environment.

Link to your fav AU pieces (have you read rayruz's Did I Fall Alseep Dollhouse crossover?), write something new (comment!fic will get you a virtual cookie), hypothesize about other universes where the characters of Kara and Lee are still our pilots without necessarily being pilots, per se.
 

Later today, I'll post a follow-up poll to nail down the exact rewatch details so we can get a calendar together.

I had to share the Goat Herd song. It's my duty.

Late I will replace the Goat Herd song with the Bowling song from Grease II. Cuz that's how I roll. :P

It does spiral out of control pretty quickly.

Grease II would make another great AU. Lee would be great as a stiff English boy trying to be a black leather clad motorcycle rider.

Ah, Grease II. There are really no words that quite describe my love for this movie. I mean it has this song!
