Insight into my Brain
May. 1st, 2008 03:21 pmYou ever have one of those days where you're reading Jack of Fables and thinking about how awesome a Jack/Booster fic would be? Seriously, it'd be scarily awesome. So I vaguely decided I should write one.
The problem, as with all crossovers that aren't PWP, is finding a logical reason for the two of them to meet. My original idea was for Rip to pick Jack up because he needs another agent that no one takes seriously, but because Booster is now Mature, that wouldn't be fun. I need Booster at his most silly.
So then I got to thinking...what are superheroes if not modern-day fables? Why can't they escape into the Mundy world?
This was the point in which I had to stop myself from discussing the Secret Invasion of the Adversary troops. But if I wrote Marvel fic? I would do that.
Of course, now I'm thinking about how Superman would have troubles because he wouldn't be allowed to use his powers to save people. Low profile and everything. Bruce would ignore the rules and do the urban legend thing, though without working with the police.
So now I'm worried that I've got another epic AU thing going on, and I don't want to write another epic AU! I've got too many WIPs! I don't want another!
But...Jack/Booster...
