DPP: All AU, All the time

[howlinchickhowl.livejournal.com]

Good day to you all, today's post is a little bit on the late side because public transort in England is enough to frequently make you want to kill yourself. But on to happier things :)

Yesterday we talked about our musical inspiration when it comes to writing pilots fic, I have started compiling a new playlist of all your favourites, they were most excellent.

Today's show is slightly different.

I have a slight problem, I suspect that some of you share it, in that I SEE PILOTS EVERYWHERE! So today I thought we could talk about the other films/tv shows/books that you all think are PERFECT for Pilots.What do you want to see as a crossover? What stories would be made better with Kara and Lee as the main characters?

Can't think of any?




The BRILLIANT and as of yet unfinished *cough* The Cutting Edge by taragel




Beautiful poster by kag523 with accompanying fic Monkeys in Space by nazkey which is just really darkly beautiful and manages to evoke the tone of fight club without being fight club, so if you haven't read it yet, do.




Again, poster by kag523

Along with the strange melding of the two zany genius brains of kag523 and nazkey that takes the form of First Impressions which is a Pride and Prejudice crossover that doesn't have any cylons in it, but is wacky and wonderful anyway.

And then there's a whole host of stuff that kag523 graciously said I could mine from her stores for your inspiration, there are no accompanying fics for these, but you could always fix that if you liked ;)








Hopefully that's enough to keep everyone going! I have to go have a shower but I shall be back with some thoughts of my own, and possibly some incredibly cracked out manips. Have fun!

Last week, I saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for the first time. And all I could think about was Butch Apollo and the Starbuck Kid (okay the "Butch Apollo" thing sounds awful, but it's hard to make anything sound good with "Butch," and "Apollo" is kind of a one-name thing, a la Cher). So somebody please, indulge me. Write me a fic. Make a manip (K, I'm looking at you). Tell me I'm not totally crazy.

"Make a manip (K, I'm looking at you). Tell me I'm not totally crazy."

She totally already did! (http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/ad159/kag523/No%20Takebacks/Naz-ButchSundance.jpg)


You're not crazy, not even at all :)

Yesss! That is divine! I thought she might have you know, but couldn't remember and there have been so many.

Now I just need a fic...

[howlinchickhowl.livejournal.com]

I know! She's too talented for words.

As an aside, if you go here (http://kag523fic.livejournal.com/1514.html) and scroll down to the bottom there's a whole treasure trove of movie posters and stuff, I didn't use all of them :)

Just because you said that Shah, I'm sharing this with you. It's another kag523 manip which she made for me based on an article where Jamie said Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid was his favorite movie.

Hee, howlinchickhowl just directed me to that, and I CAN'T STOP STARING AT IT. SERIOUSLY. I'm keeping it open in a tab and refusing to close it. So beautiful. This is my new crossover ship (except...it's totally the same ship, just as a crossover, so I don't know what you'd call that).

Girl, this movie is MADE for a crossover. Can't wait to read what you come up with. I can quote that movie verbatim from start to finish, one of my ALL TIME favorite movies.

(Gave you a shout out below bb, because I lurk on your LJ like … WHOA).

Also? Miss you! &hearts

I think if I were to write this crossover (which I'm NOT promising), I would basically find&replace the characters' names? I mean, it's already in character...um, but Sundance's ladyfriend is tricky to cast. At first I thought Sam, maybe Zak, but now I think Laura might be better. Schoolteacher, probably speaks Spanish, and can be shipped with Lee and Kara. Zak doesn't work for the weird "what if we'd met first" bicycle scene on account of that incest issue, and Sam doesn't strike me as the teacher type.

Also thanks dear! I have been around...just busy...and slightly aimless on LJ with all my shows on hiatus. :(

I was going to give you a manip, but Naz has stolen my glory. Hee hee! :>D

(In my defense... I did actually make that. *snorts*)

Here's badass old timey Kara though!
