I've found a channel that shows early Due South -- from the Ray Vecchio years, which were the years I watched. And I've completely forgotten just how slashy that show was. Last night's episode had Fraser in drag dancing with Ray at a Catholic school dance. Usually, you have to go to fanfic for that kind of thing, but not Due South. I never got into the habit of watching it when they had Ray Kowalski, because I was in the UK during those years, but I hear that it got even slashier. How is that even possible? BH used to call Angel the gayest show that ever gayed (my husband is a secret Spike/Angel shipper), but Due South is in another class altogether.

Actually, in tonight's episode they're squabbling again. But I'm sure it won't last. And I think Fraser's still wearing eyeshadow.

There's an archive for Supernatural crossovers now, on the model of Twisting the Hellmouth. TtH is one of my guilty pleasure sites, since although the stories are not really all that good, usually, they do satisfy, in their way. The SPN site is, of course, a great deal smaller, and doesn't look like quite such a guilty pleasure: right now it's got a lot of summaries with typos and portentious questions.

I think I may feel obliged to join and put my stories up there, though. I mean, I like SPN crossovers, they like SPN crossovers, what do we have to lose? It just seems like an alien culture, after all this time on LJ, where I can tailor my experience to my elitist bitch preferences.

Not unrelated, as I was walking home tonight it occurred to me that one of the Three Portions of An is called Hel, and a story with Sam, Dean, Rood of An and a whole lot of pigs would probably be extremely funny. A caper, I think. Or possibly a brawl.

That Due South ep with Fraser in drag was one of my favourites. Paul Gross made that wig look good :D

I'm having similiar feelings about the new SPN crossover site. I feel the world is always a better place for crossovers... and SPN is young, the crossover horizons are still expanding. One hopes.

OMG I want to read Rood dealing with Dean. Because Dean would drive Rood bugfuck. OTOH he'd get along with Sam fantastically; they'd laze around his room and shoot the shit and Dean would be bouncing off the walls until Rood took him out drinking, and then they'd bond over a bar fight. It'd be awesome. You so should write it.

Oh, speaking of crossovers--did you see sevenfists's (sp?) SPN/FF crossover? Dean/Mal, which didn't entirely work for me (I don't quite buy it but not enough to put me off the story), but the voices are fab. And Dean bitching about all the Chinese is really fun.

Hehe, I've got a Paul Gross article around here somewhere (I scanned it ages back but...) and I remember there's a part where she brings up slash to him and he thinks it's *AWESOME* and it was right before the RayK started and his reaction was "wait until they see *him*...he's really hot" or something.

Oh Due South...*G*

and oh a site for SPn crossovers? I must sign up and add mine. A good chunk of my SPN is crossovers.

I have to admit that when I was writing your Yuletide story, the idea occurred to me. All those wraiths, after all. Although I was thinking more of (in totally platonic fashion all around!) Dean and Raith, Sam and Rood, and Duac shaking his head at them all before calling in Canon Master as support in sanity.

Usually, you have to go to fanfic for that kind of thing, but not Due South.

*busts up laughing*

Cesperanza (sp? she of the evil elves) pretty much ruined me for canon dS, and for many other decent fic writers in dS. She wrapped the crack in something that resembled logic and sense and then hung shiny blinky lights and a gilded copy of one of those Bleeding Heart icons on it, and said, hey, presto, you're a mango!

...ummm. Perhaps you had to be there.

Anyway.

right now it's got a lot of summaries with typos and portentious questions.

*busts uplaughing again* Then obviously adding your stories would only improve things, and so you should.

one of the Three Portions of An is called Hel

...blast you.

Never Get Out of the Boat: Five Hells Sam and Dean Never Marched Into

I did NOT need more plot bunnies.

*stomps off, muttering*

(Although, I might need suggestions for Hells. Gaiman and Carey's, for Sandman/Lucifier, check. One from Diane Duane's Door into Shadow, perhaps. And of course a classical one - but alas, for I've not read Milton, and have not the time to do so this year.)

Tell me, the young soldier who rode into the crack in the Forum, was that considered a ride into Hell?

*wanders off again, considering*

I went and looked.

So do you go and rec people you know? There are a few things I know that are out there that aren't up at that archive.

And YAY, more people will see your cool stories!

I really miss Due South. It's a show I've actually considered buying on DVD!
