For anyone who's interested in a crossover/fusion exchange, crossworks nominations are open until June 16th.

I have two slots left and three or four fandoms I'm considering. Four days to decide!

What have you nominated?

[skieswideopen]

Battle Creek (TV)
Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Being Human (US/Canada)
Covert Affairs
Intelligence (US TV 2014)
Madam Secretary
Sleepy Hollow (TV)
Star Trek: Discovery
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV)
The Listener (TV)

I suspect The Listener and maybe BHUS will be the ones of most interest to you. I'm glad you get to nominate this time! :)

(Still deciding on my last two.)

[argentum_ls]

From the looks of the tagset, everything I would nominate is already covered. I'll have to ponder on it and see if there's anything I missed.

No Henry Danger or The Tomorrow People this year? Or the original Being Human? Or Forever Knight?

[argentum_ls]

Henry Danger is interesting because, even though it canonically has several crossovers and it canonically has both time travel, aliens, and AUs, I have a really hard time tone-matching it to anything else. I just can’t imagine crossovers with pretty much anything else I’d watch.

I might throw the TP in, though there doesn’t seem to be much point since I’m always the only person requesting it.

BHUK was a great show — and not one I’d want to request. I’d much rather have BHUS. I ended up enjoying the latter show so much more once we got past the first season.

My perennial BHUS/TL request would definitely be on the list, too.

Edited: FK is in the same bucket as BHUK. The way it ended really killed my interest in the show too.

[skieswideopen]

That all makes sense. Tone-matching can be tough with crossovers. (I agree with you on BHUS vs. BHUK, but I watched the former first, which I know can sometimes influence one's opinion. The third season of BHUS really was wonderful, though.)

I know the feeling of requesting a show over and over and being the only one to do so. It's so disappointing.

[argentum_ls]

Yeah, I watched UK first too and really, really enjoyed it until the events of the third series. I didn’t like US the first time I saw it because it seemed like only a tepid rehash of UK. You’re the one who convinced me to give it another chance years later, and I’m really glad you did. Once it comes into its own, it’s an awesome show.

[skieswideopen]

Oh, and I do still have my notes from last year. Might have to go rewatch a bit, though, for tone. :D

[argentum_ls]

I’ve just been rewatching a lot of TL. It’s a show with so much untapped potential, and one that’s easy to work into crossovers.

So you decided not to sign up in the end?

[argentum_ls]

I tried to pull together a sign up at the last minute last night, then realized that I couldn't do it adequately. Unfortunately, the last week just got to busy ... so I'm relegated to watching the pinch hits.

[skieswideopen]

I'm sorry you didn't get to sing up. Timing can be hard. I was lucky that I was free yesterday, because it took me a good chunk of the day to finish my sign-up, and that was with using last year's as a starting point. Perhaps something good will come through in the pinch hits, if you're in the mood to write.

[argentum_ls]

It's been a busy week. A tree fell on my roof (big repairs, but all living beings are fine), so the deadline kind of snuck up on me.

Hopefully I'll be able to join up next year.

[skieswideopen]

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. I'm glad everyone is okay, but that does sound rather disruptive to one's daily life. Did you have to relocate? (I imagine yes, but I don't know how bad the damage was.)

[argentum_ls]

It's going to be an expensive repair that will take some time to get done properly; however, the house is still habitable and we have good insurance, so mostly we're just dealing with inconvenience.

[skieswideopen]

I'm glad it's not worse than inconvenience for you, and that you haven't had to move out.

[argentum_ls]

Well, it also makes for a good story and a lot of firewood. :/

Seriously, though, it's a big mess. I just keep reminding myself how easily it could have been worse.
