36. Do you like crossovers? If so, favorite crossover?
I adore, cherish, and squee over crossovers. I like fusions, too, but I love crossovers even more. I've read a lot of them, and I probably can't really come up with an all-time absolute favorite. However, this one I'm reccing here is DAMNED good and definitely worth reading, and probably in my top 5 if not the top spot entirely.
Rock Happy 'verse by ArwenLune is a Generation Kill/Stargate: Atlantis crossover. The premise is that Brad Colbert, after the events of GK (though in this fic, there's no reporter, so Brad + all the others aren't suddenly famous), is recruited by Lorne and Cadman to go to Atlantis. The series is very long and almost entirely gen, with faceted OCs in addition to the fandom characters, but no one is tacked on or stitched into the wrong place. It's VERY well written and interesting and okay, so maybe I do have a favorite crossover. I would rec this to anyone, even people who aren't really familiar with either fandom, but I'd especially rec it to fans of SGA who always wanted more 'behind the scenes' of everyday life on Atlantis.
I recommend skipping the first fic listed in the series and diving straight into the 2nd, Rock Happy, since that's where the story really starts.
38. How do you feel about genderbending? De-aging? Animalizing?
I don't really like fics where something happens and suddenly a character wakes up with different genitalia than they went to sleep with. They almost always bug the hell out of me, really. I think I've read one I liked, and in it John Sheppard's gender was actually female and she welcomed the new body, even though she was closeted and everyone assumed she was a cis male. It was a sad story, too, because they 'fixed' her and she got her (unwanted) dick back. But that story is definitely not the norm when it comes to these sorts of fics.
I like other sorts of genderbending, though, like always-cis-female fics and fics where a character is trans or intersexed, and a lot of ABO fics where characters struggle with their biological urges or whatever. Those usually great and I love reading different takes on characters who are usually OMG MANLY MENS in canon.
De-aging can be awesome, especially when it leads to hurt/comfort, emotional revelations, protective urges, stuff like that.
I'm guessing 'animalizing' means... animal transformation? Or is this like where it's so AU the characters are all actual animals in a forest or a zoo or whatever? I guess it doesn't matter, because I like alllll of that.
