Let's talk AUs!

[scribblinlenore]

I'm work from home today, under the weather, and this cold had better be gone, or at least better, by Thanksgiving. I've put the germs on notice! Anyhoo, I don't actually have any work to do, and my head is too fuzzy for writing, so I need some entertaining.

I've had AUs on the brain lately. I do love them so. John and Rodney in particular are like paper dolls. You can dress them up in anything. I have all these SGA AU ideas that I like to take out occasionally and daydream on. I mentioned the ballet one recently. And I still have every intention of writing the advertising AU, in which Rodney is a neurotic ad guy and John is the prospective client he sleeps with because he has boundary issues. Then there's the yachting AU, with ship designer Rodney and daredevil skipper John, and the host bar AU. Back when I was writing Sentinel, I had this idea for a baseball AU, Jim as the hard to get along with pitcher in the waning days of his career, Blair as the young puppy of a catcher who's determined that Jim has one more star season in him.

So what are your favorite AU ideas? The wackiest? The hottest? Any fandom. Inquiring minds want to know!

It's been a long time since, but I was hoping to nudge you into thinking about that Remington Steele style Smallville AU. The one where Lex walks into Clark's detective agency and announces himself to be Clark's partner in investigations? I LOVED that idea, and I would have liked to have seen it written out in full...

pleeeease? I promise long-length reviews :D

ok, I found the full entry with the full description, and it sounded even more delicious than I remembered... please, PLEASE consider working on this one. I bet it would be really popular and VERY well received :D

Smallville a la Remington Steele:
Clark Kent, intrepid PI, is barely making ends meet when he decides his agency needs a higher profile. So he borrows one from missing billionaire Lex Luthor, whose plane went down in the ocean while on his honeymoon, never to be found. Clark earnestly assures the rich and famous clients who now flock to him--lying through his teeth, of course--that although Mr. Luthor is no longer with them, the agency he left behind still upholds the same high standards. Everything is going great, business better than ever, until the day Lex Luthor shows up, back from the supposed dead, here to lay claim to Clark's agency. "It does have my name on it," Lex says, as he usurps Clark's office, making himself at home behind Clark's desk. "Let's call ourselves partners, at least until I can find my missing wife and get my money back." He lays a hand casually on Clark's ass and winks. "I think we're going to get along very well together."

Yep, I remember that idea. It's actually from a drabble I wrote an age ago. I'm glad you liked it, and I do think it would be fun, but my interest in writing Smallville isn't what it used to be. Who knows? Maybe it'll return at some point.
