Stories I’m not writing (that aren’t even half as scary as the summaries collected by
svmadelyn here):
1. The Asimovesque shaggy-dog story (think “The Foys of Sortibrackenstrete,” if I spelled that right) about attempted hybridization of alien and earth animals with the punchline, “She’s all cat and no Hattle.”
2. The smokin’ hot Weir/Lorne story set after “Let That Be Your Last Goodbye” (oh come on, you were all thinking it!) where Lorne comes to Weir and is all, So, that alien woman person had all your knowledge and her own mad warrior skills, hunh? That was really impressive how she managed to take out me and my men using an unfamiliar body. And Weir’s like, Actually, that was me too. After my life was threatened for the third time, I started taking martial arts lessons from anyone who’d teach me. Right now I have a regular session with Caldwell. Lorne (SEES RED): ... I could teach you too. Naturally, there is sexual tension and ultimately some sweaty gym-room action – oh, and together they save Atlantis from yet another set of dangerous but ultimately stupid bad guys whose arrival interrupts the flirtation that’s about to lead them to have sex the first time -- but Lorne calls her ma’am the whole time. After sex, Weir suggests that he could stop, but he tells her that’s part of the attraction.
3. The sequel to the second of my “Five Things” SV story, in which Clark is instead Mary, the last daughter of Krypton, and Lex is so angry at Mary’s lies that they have vicious (and extended!) sex that still TOUCHES LEX’S SOUL. And because it’s okay for a 22-year-old man to fuck a 16-year-old girl but not a 16-year-old boy, social conventions don’t keep them apart and they live happily ever after. Thus did homophobia make Lex evil.
4. The sequel to Iolokus that’s a redo of Face/Off with Mulder and Krycek. It’s fifteen years later, Miranda is rebellious jailbait, as is Bram (the boy twin), Scully is (still) resentful, and Mulder does an extra-sekrit ditch – now with facelift! Krycek takes Mulder’s face in return, gives Scully the ride of her life, and starts seducing the kids. (I am not making this up.
mustangsally78 and I spent hours plotting this. I own a copy of Face/Off for research purposes. In our defense, I don’t think the final shootout was going to feature doves. Stabbing, but not doves. If you ever wondered how seriously we took the whole thing by the time we got to Syadiloh and that name didn't satisfy your curiousity, this should.)

The Smallville one seemed perfectly reasonable to me, but then I don't watch the show and may have a defective sense of humor.

The thing I like about the SV one is that you can read the lesson of the alternative world as "homophobia made Lex evil" but you can also just as easily read it as "perverted desire for men made Lex evil," always assuming that Clark's sexuality is responsible for Lex's bad choices.

And I think I missed where you were getting into SGA. "What if they made a fandom and everyone came?" Indeed.

Why does no one tell me these things? (See icon.)

Also, the sequel? I'd totally have read that. :-D
P.S. I did love Iolokus. And your other fics. I sent you feedback in the distant past, under another name, but it never hurts to say it again.

That's probably good advice about Tikkun Olam, as you describe the relevant audience.
And I swear we'd totally have written that sequel, if the show hadn't driven us away screaming in agony.
I'm glad you liked the stories!

Oh, my God, some people are such complete wusses.
Also, that icon, in this context, is cracking me up to no end.
(And I loved Iolokus, too. I would completely and totally read the sequel, but right now I'm not sure how much of my opinion on that is due to the vengeful feelings I have toward the show.)

And as for the sequel to Iolokus, I have no money at all, but I'd wash your windows to read that puppy.
Be well, RT.

And for the record, I'd eat #4 up with a giant spoon. (BTW, I'm the former Scullysfan. Er, not that I don't like Scully anymore. I just don't call myself that. 'Cause sharinlilbit is SO much cooler. Yeah.)

I don't think we ever started writing #4, but we did spend many pleasant hours discussing it. We couldn't agree on whether Krycek would be more attracted to Bram or Miranda, though. Cordelia was going to be suspicious all along.

I have nothing else to contribute except that I'd read any of these cracked-out stories, but especially the SV one; actually, it would kill me if you started writing SGA and it was het. I don't know -- I think I'm confused.
Oh whatever, I'd get over it. Just write!

Due to the progress of American culture today, the boys can now make a different choice. A better, pornier choice. :)

Er, was I the only reader who was way *more* freaked out by the idea of 22-year-old Lex fucking 16-year-old Mary than 16-year-old Clark? Which is kind of stupid, in part because 16-year-old girls are usually more emotionally mature than boys their own age, but I still get all kinds of mental red flags along the lines of "Guys who've finished college should NOT be hanging around girls in high school!"
Maybe it's partly because when I read a Clark/Lex story, I'm mentally picturing Tom Welling as Clark, and it was blatantly obvious from the first episode that the actor was well into his 20's. So even though I know the character is supposed to be a sheltered young high school kid, he doesn't look nearly young enough for the warning bells to be ringing (he has five o'clock shadow, for crying out loud). Whereas, since we don't have a mental picture of Mary (owing to the fact that she doesn't exist), I was sort of vaguely picturing a generic 16-year-old girl,a nd of course I was thinking of girls who actually are 16, as opposed to being (and looking) 25 and playing 16 on TV.
Plus, given that women are generally a fair bit smaller than men, there's the whole physical issue where on a purely practical level, it's probably easier for a man to force a woman to do something than another man. Which doesn't really apply in the case of the Last Daughter of Krypton, because even if she were shorter and slighter than Lex, she could still kick his ass without breaking a sweat. But she wouldn't *look* like she could. I'd probably have had a much more negative reaction to the Clark/Lex relationship if Lex had been noticeably taller and more powerfully built than Clark. Which is a purely visual shorthand.
But you do have a good point that in the real world, Lex going after a 16 year old girl would probably be considered far more leniently by society in general than going after a 16 year old boy. But the story still gives me the heebie-jeebies of "That is totally inappropriate behaviour, and if she were my daughter she'd be headed to a convent, and the man in question would lose certain body parts to a pair of secaturs!" Possibly it's just as well that i don't have kids.
So, in other words, I'm fairly glad you're not writing such a sequel. a) because there have been many well-written Clex stories with happy endings which don't get rid of the whole two penises dynamic; and b) because the story made me uncomfortable in a way that all the Clark/Lex underage sex in fanfic doesn't.
