eh, weird question

[aesc]

Does anyone know if there's a McKay/Sheppard reworking of Notting Hill? The roommate and I were spinning this odd hypothetical world in which all the stars come to our little podunk town to hide out from the paparazzi and drive beat-up pickup trucks. That got me thinking of Notting Hill and how, like so many things in this world, it would be a weirdly appropriate AU for John and Rodney.

I mean, Rodney running a scientific bookstore and worrying about income, and John the super-famous actor and Rodney's celebrity crush wandering in to buy a book on, oh, Poincare's theorem or something, and Radek the crazily-haired roommate, and sex.

Or, you know, John running a weird secondhand book store that's all dusty and has weird stuff like the complete run of National Geographic from 1970-81 and a lot of books on flight, and Rodney the super-famous scientist and John's geeky crush wandering in looking for old scifi to mock, and Ronon the crazily-haired roommate, and sex.

Yeah.

In other news: I spent all last night and most of today feeling cranky and lame and out of sorts. But I found my passport, which has been missing for a year, and also I have had chocolate-espresso cookies and tea. Things may be looking up, at least with respect to chocolate and ability to flee the country.

We're several thousand words and dozens of emails in, so either we're experiencing a collective delusion or really.

Well it was not meant to sound that doubtful - the fact that you're doing it is impressive. I just can't imagine Jakten På Nyresteinen turning into a fic at all - especially not a John/Rodney.

But I look forward to seeing it finished.

It kind of started with a discussion based on the premise that there is nothing that cannot be recast with SGA. Like, the Odyssey? John is totally Odysseus and Rodney is Athena (I suppose, to be truly canonical, you'd want Penelope to be recast as Rodney, but Odysseus/Athena OTP! Hell, we could have Rod as Athena and Rodney as Penelope and yay threesome!) Or Rear Window: Rodney is ...um, whatever the hell James Stewart's character is called, John is Grace Kelly, Radek is the HILARIOUS housekeeper... Sex and the City? Come on. It's too easy.

It's like the law of gravity, I swear.

Though Athena would never have sex with Odysseus, you know, virgin goddess and all :D

Sex and the City? Come on. It's too easy.

Oh, yeah, you know it! I've had "Sex and the City????" scribbled down in my notebook for eons.
