Sometimes, snark is a dangerous thing.

yonmei linked me to The Big List of Fanfic Pet Peeves, some of which I share, some of which I disagree with. But, I was reading along, nodding or "meh"ing depending on my agreement levels, and I hit this (under "Expository Lumps"):

Beware: some of the worst offenders are x-overs, have you noticed? The characters get together, and as Katrina says, all of a sudden it's a convention of Norse warriors, all reciting their mighty deeds.

DUDES, I TOTALLY WANT THAT!

Seriously, give me Jean-Luc Picard telling Cid Highwind about The Picard Maneuver, and Cid embellishing detailing his own exploits. Angelo and Sephiroth, comparing bad hair days! Scotty and Rodney McKay, one upping each other with "how I saved the day" stories. Dillon and Wolverine having a brood-off!

Come on, guys, comment fic me! :D

Way too tempting

Deanna put her hand over Summer's and squeezed sympathetically. "Don't worry. In my first few episodes I had to be all 'Captain, he's in pain' and 'She's hiding something!'. It wasn't until later on that I got some actual development and got to kick butt."

Summer sighed, and took a long sip of her lemonade. She looked around at Ten Forward, which was a lot smaller than it'd seemed on TV. "You're right, you're right. I just get so sick of being the nice one."

"Have you had your arranged marriage storyline yet?"

Summer shuddered. "His name was Chas," she said flatly.

"Oh, dear. Do you want to come and blow things up with me in the holodeck?"

"HELL YES."

BWAHAHAHA I'd forgotten Troi's arranged marriage storyline! (How could I forget the episode that introduced us to Lwaxana Troi???) This is perfect and brilliant (and I bet Troi's all "Deanna, Warrior Princess" on the holodeck, too).

::grins:: Hehehehehe, thank you kindly!

(I miss Lwaxana Troi, sigh!)

Lwaxana Troi's existence was a high point of Trek, for me. So awesome. :(
