Boy did I ever open that can of worms

[cog_nomen]

So I have been taking 'notes' (more like hand writing huge chunks) of a Due South/Supernatural cross over that promises to be of epic size at this current point. Problem being, I don't think anyone really cares to see those two fandoms crossed. Or if there even is a Due South fandom anymore. I mean that's pretty old, obscure, and hard to obtain on DVD. Well, okay I have it, but I wish it had frigging subtitles or closed caption or something. Maybe some remastering, the quality is pretty 90's television.

We'll see if I can't finish it and I know I still owe rabbitprint the TF2 fic, which I swear I am working on, it's just all handwritten.

Who wants to come be cognomen's transcribist?

AWWWW!!!! To damn bad you did not get in to sign up for the ds_c6d_bigbang! Maybe if you beg? Because boy howdy, I'd LOVE a dS/Supernatural crossover. It begs to be done! You want a beta? A friendly chat? I will help you! *realizes that I am coming across as stalkerish by this point...I'm not! I've got references!*

Mostly because my own dS/WonderWoman crossover (yes, shut up, it totally works...) is stalled, so I understand the frustration. But seriously, I think more than a few of us would love to read said fic. Don't be discouraged!

Oh my god you know about Due South. Every time I assume no one knows it, I remember that the internet is apparently both VASTLY ENORMOUS and teeny tiny.

Ironically I was pondering the conundrum of how to get a beta for two fandoms I didn't really think crossed over. But let me actually get the thing written in more than fits and spurts before I commit myself to anything else, heh.

I'm certainly willing to help out. I was just over at the ds_c6d chat and several of us were quite excited over the idea of a dS/SPN crossover! In fact a few of us might have *cough* role played it for about half an hour.

dS is a huge, huge fandom, so I can't imagine you'd ever run into anyone who hasn't heard of it. LOL! Anyone who is anybody has writen dS, it seems, and OMG there are already hundreds of dS fic up at the AO3. Have you dropped by ds_noticeboard or the Crack Van's dS tag (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/tag/due+south)? Due South Seekrit Santa is set to go live in a few days, too. I mean if you know all this, ignore me, I'm just pimping! :) But aside from the whole Ray Wars (which don't let anyone fool you, are still sometimes fought) the fandom is lively and enormous. It's a beautiful thing.

I think it just really surprises me still. I mean I was literally introduced to the show by my grandmother. Nobody I talk to IRL knows anything about it, or ever seems to get why I like it. Then again I live in the midwest, where all my co-workers seem to watch only American Idol, So you think you can dance, and the office. (Except, ironically, the old ladies, who are all Twilight fans. Really.)

Oh hey pimpage. :) Let me just tuck those links away for later when it is not a godawful hour of the morning. I won't deny that I like one Ray better than the other, but I guess fandom needs to fight about something.

Also, due south works with anything I have discovered. I think dS/WW would be GREAT.

Fraser's awkwardness around women would totally win the day.

*cough* *peeks in*
You don't know me but I just finished reading your SPN WWI fusion fic and loved it and coincidentally I also think that a DS/SPN xover would be a great idea! Man, I miss Due South! I should really sit down and do a little marathon soon!

See, I love Due South, but the american release DVD's are such a terrible quality. First, there's no CC or subtitles what-so-ever (I am hearing impaired - big deal for me!), and second, I may be spoiled, but no 'play all' function? :( Sad me.

Completely agree about the icky quality of the videos :( I used to play them on my laptop and the discs were so bloody difficult and would skip all the time too :(
