reposted from my blog because I need you, baby:

Okay, Zendom article time. I need a couple volunteers to answer: "Why I write AUs." Or "Why I Write Alternate Histories" or "Why I Write Futurefic." Really I just need one Farscape volunteer, and I'll send you interview questions. Also a West Winger and someone from another fandom entirely (like JAG) who believes her fandom tends to beg AUs/alternate histories/etc. And a boyband person who writes Regencies and AUs.

THEN I need someone in one of the Big Three (Trek, XF, Buffy) who's willing to be interviewed re: Why Their Fandom Doesn't Require AUs. Or alternately "Why I Write Post-Eps" or "Why I Write Casefiles."

So. Lemme know if you're interested and I'll send you the whatsits, this needs to happen sooner rather than later.

Additionally, imagine my surprise today, when, at the barest provokation of a subway ad, I discovered that I did, indeed, love Raymond!

I could address "why I write post-eps" from the XF world, but not "why I write casefiles." Because I don't, to my occasional frustration.

I don't write regencies, but I do write AUs for boybands. If you don't already have a volunteer you'd prefer to use.

JAG writer who writes AUs, hm? Why do I get the feeling I've been targeted? *g* I'll answer questions and make sense if I can. You have my email address. Send them over. I'll answer them right away.

Send 'em to me, O Leo my Leo. Unless you know all the answers already, which you do. But WOAT is most definitely AU.

I feel like a bit of a tool, but

if you're still looking for someone who has written boyband AUs/regency-ish fics, I've done 'em.

I'm still looking for everything. and, yes, you, Gail. *g* I'll send e-mails out to the rest of you shortly. THANKS. And I still need many more volunteers.

Why, thank you. Nice to be wanted. *g*

What Elizabeth isn't saying is that she's like, the next Jo Beverley or Mary Jo Putney, but with slash.

Um... I write Trek AU's.

[alara-r.livejournal.com]

I think your premise is wrong. There are a *lot* of AU's in Trek.

Yeah, there's also a lot of canon material, but I don't think there is any sense that Trek doesn't need or can't use AU's...
