On a tangent, why doesn't someone do a reboot of that property?

There's a movie in the works. I think Denzel has the Robert McCall role.

I wrote Pacific Rim fic. Because Hannibal Chau made me clap my hands with glee. [link]

I have to say, I am grateful for the floodgates that Pacific Rim opened for all fandoms. It's a fusion flavour that seems to taste great with everything. I haven't actually read straight-up PR fic yet though, so this should be fun!

Ron Perlman really was fantastic.

The crossover PR fic that is out there is so cracky and good! Someone wrote a short MCR/Pacific Rim fic that is just delightful.

There are just so many wonderful cracky opportunities for PR crossovers. The one that I would love to see is a Black Books crossover with Bernard and Manny as Jaeger pilots. Because you know that would end well...

Bernard: So the kaijuu snuck past while I was napping and flattened half of Liverpool. I don’t see what they’re so upset about - it’s the most civic improvement Liverpool’s had in years!

SciFiGrl47 is writing a Pacific Rim-Avengers mash up. The WIP is here: [link]

Do you think stories that are tagged with a ship where they never get together (and in fact end up with other people) should be tagged something like "no A/B endgame"? Or even more than that, since there's nothing other than a single admission of attraction in three chapters?

Whether the ending is happy or sad for them, do you feel the average fic-reader is "owed" (loaded word used purposely) warning?

That's not an easy one to answer, ita_!. I mean, I do not view other writers as my bitches, who must write what I want or suffer consequences. On the other hand, I think I would feel cheated by the tag. I mean, if I go hunting for A/B ship fic, click on something with the A/B tag, and haul in something where they don't actually have a relationship, it's hardly fair. I do not consider one mention of attraction in a multi-chapter work a relationship.

If it's tagged as a ship, I would expect a ship. A/B I would see as a ship. "A & B" I would interpret as A & B interacting a lot and their relationship, whatever it is, being a focus. I've seen some Avengers fic labeled "Steve & Tony non-ship" just for clarity.

And the more I think about it, the more I would feel that the A/B tag without the "no A/B endgame" was deliberate bait and switch unless it was otherwise clearly warned of in the summary or something.
