My socks have a hole in, right on the toe :(

I love these socks. They have grinning monkeys on. I hate boring socks. To console myself, I'm off to discover steampunk at the library.

Clearly, you all need to know this. Apparently a disturbed night's sleep makes me want to spam my flist. I'll be going now...

It's obviously the end of the world.

Ooh! Sock fic would be wonderful, thanks, if only because I'm intrigued...

there IS sga sock fic. honest.

[livejournal.com profile] crystalshard wrote TW sock fic, I'm sure of it. I haven't seen SGA sock fic though, but it looks like I'm about to *grins*

In this one they WERE socks. Everyone- John, Elizabeth, Rodney, Kate, Teyla, Ronon... and they were different types (I think John and Elizabeth were a pair, Rodney/kate etc) but they'd meet up and talk in the washing machine. It was odd

Ooh, yes, I have read that one. Yeah, I remember that weird didn't begin to cover it. SGA turns out some pretty trippy stuff, but that? Whole new level of odd. Fun but odd.

weird didn't begin to cover it is a pretty good description. The fact it worked in McShep somehow was what blew my mind.

It never ceases to amaze me how SGA churns out AUs and cracks of all varieties that always somehow work. I mean, I've read McKay/Sheppard as ice-skaters, women, high school kids, penguins, a unicorn and a rainbow, dolphins (sort of - it's one of [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza's and makes an odd kind of sense), conductor and violinist, robot, wraith, turkeys... As far as I can tell the list is endless.

But I can count the Torchwood AUs on the fingers of one thumb. There's a few 'alternate endings' ones, but genuine, situational AUs? I can't think of any. Very odd.

SGA does have probably close to 10x the amount of fic than TW does. But you're right, it does tend to lend itself to cracked AUs more than TW. (penguins? really?)

When people go "AU" in TWverse it tends to only slightly deviate from basic canon (people are still human, of the same sex, etc)

*nods* People like to put the plot right in TW, but I haven't seen any 100% AUs.

And yes, penguins, really. There was something about looking after an egg...I'll see if I can find it :)

socks, penguins.. what's next? clouds? SGA fandom cracks me up

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-02-04 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
considering I slipped alien sex donuts into the SGA fandom, I am not one to talk... :)

That's... just brilliant! XD

I almost wrote a fic last Friday shipping all of the technology on Atlantis fell with various expedition members -- but I stopped myself. Some of my notes/brainstorming were bad.

And I can't speak proper English today, apparently. D'oh.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-02-04 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
proper English is overrated.

I'm still a little embarrassed about my alien donut series. There's 12 drabbles. It's SGA with a TW crossover (Jack Harkness is in them) Here's a link to the first Alien Donuts (http://donutsweeper.livejournal.com/24314.html) *hangs head in shame*

Something tells me alien sex donuts is not good work-reading material, just by the laughter the idea elicits.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-02-04 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
you might want to wait till you get home to read them, yes. not a bad idea in the least...

[identity profile] greyias.livejournal.com 2008-02-04 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It really is.

...give me, hrm, an hour or so. I've already got something bouncing around the old noggin.
