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.

Yeah, that's kind of how I got started. Well, actually it got started with the cut scene from Razor with Lee in the transfer station and how that would be the easiest was to get Lee and Kara together would be for Kara, not Kendra to be in the transfer station. Then I thought military transfer stations would be high priority targets, or should be. But I had to come up with a reason for Kara to be on Caprica, and I thought, hey, what if she's avoiding Lee. :D

The problem is it's kind of easier to avoid a nuclear holocaust if your away from populated and military areas. I'll probably keep thinking though. I have a meeting this evening.
