"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Dear God, Allison, are you sure? There's a jaw-dropping quantity of scary-sounding fic at The Basement. I only dipped into a couple of stories in search of Balconyfic to feed my craving and found four or five pieces of Balconyfic, only one of which was any good and that one didn't deal with what I wanted to address at all. But in the process of seeking aforementioned balconyfic I did read summaries for some extraordinary things. There really does seem to be an awful lot of freaky ass AU.

A Water Baby (2) is here for your reading pleasure, if you're serious. Let me quote from the beginning blurb, though:

Notes: In Water Baby 1, a sea change came over Alex Krycek until chance reunited him with his lovers and enemies. Who says you don't get a second, or even a third chance? Springer is a real baby whale, an orphan discovered in Puget Sound. She was ill and becoming accustomed to humans.

Oh, damn you. Now I've gone and dipped into it myself out of morbid curiosity. I think the writer has maybe read some Vonda McIntyre books. Um.

I am repressing the urge to make quips about Free Willy. (IS that title lewd in the US too? I always assumed it couldn't be, because surely they wouldn't intentionally market a kids' movie with such a title, especially with the catchphrase "how far would you go for a friend"...?)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

...we're probably talking not-entirely-consensual slash of a Skinner/Krycek nature. Would that be OK?

Rat-boy had it coming. IJS.

Good X-files stuff? New, good X-Files stuff that no one else--well, other than maybe Plei, maybe--has gotten to see? May I just give a hearty Ho-Yay! to that?

Ignore the Brady Bunch episode. I think it was a case of "Well, we bought the damned script, we might as well air it" whereas I was going "You've got 4 fucking episodes left, and you're wasting time with THIS???" It was not a happy evening. Though I fully believe that Robert Patrick could have carried the show nearly by himself if they'd given him a chance.

And you just know Krycek made lewd suggestions on what he could make Skinner do while Krycek had the nano-bot control box. "En Ami" was one of my favorite eps, too, but I have a deep, disturbing love of Cancer Man.

And I have fondled ideas for X-fic myself. Even started writing it. Then took a serious look at how much time there is in the world. Darn this need to make money.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

FUCK, yeah. Because -- smouldering, baby.

I have a deep, disturbing love of Cancer Man.

I imagine it's like my unholy love for Scorpy. (Not sexual, folks, cause...shudder. But I'm obsessed with him.)

It's the twisted anti-hero thing, though CSM has more of the fallen hero angst than Scorpy does. CSM used to believe in something noble then realized that "good" goals required evil acts. I could go on and on. I used to in the X-files threads.

Thrive to spite them

Fay, you have to remember I have a thing for badfic. I used to stay up late and watch really really bad sci fi shows. Not to mention when watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 I'd sometimes get annoyed with the snarking at the movie if the movie was really interesting in a "god this is bad...what happens next?" kind of way.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

In LJ circle, there was this meme going around like a virus; Name 7 fictional or real life people you'd shag without hesitation. One of my LJ buddy (a devoted Scaper) named Scorpius.

I mean, OK. There's the leather, the intelligence and that killer voice. But did ya see that episode where Scorpy had sex with the Eyeball Lady? Duuude.

You know what it is with Scorpy -- it's the fact that he and John are so closely linked, their obsession with the wormholes. Just one wrong turn into an unrealized reality, and each of them could be the other. It's a Javert/Jean Valjean thing.

Gack. No, my appreciation of Scorpy is not not NOT sexual. My Farscape oost is reserved for Chiana and John.
