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.

Those both sound pretty awesome. And perfect. That is one thing I love about SGA so much, that it AUs so well. I mean, what you put up there, both of those are practically canon. lamardeuse's one where John was a lobster fisherman was practically canon. Except with lobsters.

It really, really does! I think maybe the only other fandom I've been in that's been that flexible and open to AUs is Magnificent Seven, and even then, at least when I was in it, it didn't have the... um, flexibility that SGA and its fandom seem to have :D

lamardeuse's one where John was a lobster fisherman was practically canon. Except with lobsters.

That is on my Read This When You Feel Lousy list.

Also, in order to keep this in the spirit of Hugh Grant movies... "There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Christ?"
