*attack hugs* Thanks for the ask! 🙂

I used gifs and I went on a bit (as always) hehe

1. Character in my fandoms that I think I’m most like.
Tricky. People on TV are a lot more put together than I am. They are good looking, cool and they have endearing quirks rather than annoying tendencies. Possibly the closest is Parker from Leverage.

I have her inability to understand people and situations. I too take things very literally and just plain don’t get it and often say things others consider odd. Unfortunately I don’t have her confidence – or at least her outward confidence. On the surface it seems like she doesn’t know, or care, how different she is. I’m not sure that’s true but it definitely isn’t true for me, I know how odd I am.

8. Dream crossover?
Now you are talking my language! I love mashing stuff up 🙂

I once wrote a four-show multi-crossover fic in two days. It was like 15k and I had so much fun. This was *cough* at least a decade ago. It was supposed to be a part one and I ended it on a cliffhanger but when I went to write part two I realised I’d written myself into a corner. Multi-show crossovers are hard! It’s really difficult to make it reasonable that these characters interact and try as I might, I couldn’t think of a way to keep all four shows involved moving forward.

That fic was for Alias/CSI:NY, Numb3rs and Without a Trace. So it wasn’t too ‘out there’ because that was two FBI shows, a police and then the spy game. I did pretend Numb3rs was set in New York rather than Los Angeles because the location didn’t have any bearing in the show, and putting everything in the same city made it easier. I started another crossover fic for Alias/NCIS once, which again same sort of playground with federal agents and spies.

Anyway you asked me about my dream crossover! Not about some stupid fic I wrote a decade ago. I’m just prefacing my answer with this background to try and explain that it’s important to me that the crossover makes sense.

Well I think all roads lead to Agents of Shield these days.

Can you imagine a crossover with Black Lightning? Where the greenlight was triggering potential Inhumans but their transition was unstable. So Jemma and Fitz have to stabilise all the meta-humans and they are fascinated by Jefferson and his family because they are stable and Jennifer and Anissa didn’t have to go through the mist to gain their powers.

Come on Thunder and Quake team-up, am I right?

How about Agents of Shield and Stargate? I know, I know, impossible because Shield = Marvel and so we’ve been to space and there are no stargates, or hyperdrives for that matter. They had those waygates that ships bounced through in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Also the Asgard are waaaaay different.

So alternate reality, one where history played out very differently. Imagine fifty million years ago when the Alterans (Ancients) left their home galaxy to avoid a civil war with their brethren (who became known as the Ori) and rather than inventing Stargates on that trip, they invented the waygates. Rather than the re-origination machine on Dakaara, they became the titans that forged the six infinity stones that basically did the same thing.

Stargate crossed over with alternate realities many many times. They were always fairly close to the reality we recognised but they had hints of very different ones through the reality mirror. Not going to lie I kinda just want to see Jemma and Carter work together

I could do this all day but I think you kinda get the picture 🙂

Hated is such a strong word. Sure I fell out of love with Without a Trace. I felt after the first couple of seasons something happened, the characters weren’t quite themselves and after season 4 I stopped watching. The same happened with New Tricks. It started off so strong but then the writers forgot continuity and turned the characters almost into caricatures of themselves.

I think the award might have to go to Star Trek though. I’ll do Enterprise first.

^^ confession had it right. Although I would have been fine if they’d just stayed friends. T’Pol and Trip I think were my first absolute NoTP and forcing that relationship basically ruined the characterisation of Archer and T’Pol. I enjoyed the first season of Enterprise very much, and the second was ok but the third and fourth were like a trainwreck.

Then we come to Star Trek: Discovery. Oh boy. I was disappointed from the outset because in the two-part premiere they killed off the female Captain (Philippa Georgiou) so then it was yet another male Captain in the form of Lorca. However, I stuck with it because I utterly fell in love with Culmets (Paul Stamets and Hugh Culber).

I also thought they were doing something interesting with Ash Tyler and PTSD, and with Lorca and the slippery line in times of war. What did we get? Culber killed off for shock value, an uncomfortable romance shoved down our throats with Ash Tyler and Burnham, with then the reveal that Tyler was really Voq (a klingon infiltrator) and Lorca was from the evil mirror universe.

Like really? A subtle, understated story exploring the realities of mental health and the shades of grey of war would have been amazing. Instead everything was made simple, flashy and shallow.

And they killed off Culber #NeverForgive

What a disappointment.
