Overall I didn't enjoy the Fight Club fusion and had the same problem of not being able to see anyone but the movie stars in those roles. However when it did work it was stellar, Dean giving Castiel Tyler's kiss and telling him God hates him? Exquisite pain.

And dear god I just got that Tyler's kiss is literally that. I never before made the connection that lye reacts with water, ie saliva.

She's right, I will say that.

It's sort of the ginger beer thing. And you're not wrong.

However, I don't think I've ever seen a more event-filled 22-episode show. And, good god, the body count. Not in an SPN/Buffy way, where they off people you don't know before the credits, either. And the plot whipsaws like nobody's business.

This!

Is the actor association with Fight Club stronger than with, say, Wings of Desire? If so, because it's more recent? Higher Impact? You like it better?

I know J2 fandom is supposed to do a lot of movie adaptations. How do those generally work?

I haven't read the Wings of Desire fic but for Hunger Games it was easy for me to transcribe the characters because I don't know the material word-for-word like I do Fight Club.

Hi Amy!

VD is a total guilty pleasure for me. So very little waiting around for something to actually happen. LOVE! Right up there with Gossip Girl, in my book.

Now if GG started hitting the same number of deaths per season, that'd make it really interesting.

The reason I skipped past Hunger Games was because it's not a movie so it didn't come with faces. Also, there are pretty much only three mapping characters in a sprawling ensemble, whereas Fight Club seems to be tighter, even though it had to criss-criss the sex.

Never heard of Wings of Desire until recently (and from what I read on wikipedia, that and the sequel is some fucked up shit). There is no association for me. And book fusions I would imagine would be easier, as faces and voices are still mostly left to the reader's imagination.

I've only seen City of Angels, so it was really easy to toss aside those faces. The D/C BB SW fusion didn't seem to have any mapping.

There was another SW fusion I was reading had one to one mappings, and it worked just fine, as far as I got. I need to find that again. Maybe it's on swing-set's list. Castiel was Leia, and Jimmy was Luke Skywalker. I didn't get that far in, but one assumes Dean was Han Solo, and if that made Sam Chewie, I might have wet myself laughing. Just the C3-PO and R2D2 mappings cracked me up. But having an intimate vision of the original cast didn't bother me in the least.

Costuming, however, was distracting.
