selenak: (Emma Frost - New Red Shoes)
[personal profile] selenak
From stories read when I should be working:

X-Men: Twinkie Run (Stars & Garters remix) - this one is a Hank McCoy pov, set in the movieverse after X2, and doing, among other things, one of my favourite things - putting Emma Frost into the movieverse. Wonderful Hank voice, and everyone else is drawn very well, too. T


Same fandom: Invalid Account (Don't lose that number remix) - another speculative take on Emma Frost in the movieverse, this one more in the White Queen direction, and equally plausible. Plus a far more interesting Storm than we ever saw on screen (alas).


Battlestar Galactica: The Murder of Crows - Sam Anders between seasons 2 and 3, trying to find Kara. This one offers terrific portraits of Tyrol, Ellen Tigh and Boomer as well (of whom we saw too little in season 3, and here she is in transit from Downloaded to the way we encounter her (not often) in the third season. Anders himself is three dimensional and compelling in his own right, and the occupation of New Caprica is drawn skillfully (not yet the way it will be some months later when we see it; getting there).


Dr. Who: Cheer up, Emo Time Moppet!. Because with all the angst, you need some fun and fluff as well. The hilarious diary of Romana's and the Doctor's secret love child. Co-starring Romana, the Tenth Doctor and Sarah Jane.



The other thing I've been interupting my work with: watching that clip from tonight's new episode of "Heroes". I swear, the Petrelli clan pushes every button I have. It will be a long wait for the rest of that episode...

FYI, the Storm in that story is a lot more like comicsverse Storm -- and the body switch thing is canon, from the 80s. I should see if I can dig up those issues for you because they are delightful.

And I would have dug that BSG story even if it wasn't Anders but the fact that it was -- extra bonus. (And you should read the original story on that too, if you haven't, which is a great Kara + Leoben power struggle fic. Both of these stories are of the "things that absolutely could have happened during the occupation" variety, which is a great little genre.)

[BTW, you didn't ask but I am totally positive of which story you wrote *g*]

I've heard about the body switch, but never read the issues.

I have read the original story - Leoben and Kara are fascinating to me - and agree.

[BTW, you didn't ask but I am totally positive of which story you wrote *g*]

Oh, I bet you are. Which is why I haven't asked - it's kind of obvious if one knows my preferences in that fandom. *g* I'm pretty sure I know who wrote my remix, too, both because there are not that many people writing B5 fanfic and because I do know the author's preferences as well...
