Take one ..., add Slayer
Sep. 26th, 2002 04:40 pmOn the way to work this morning I for some reason started thinking about
twinkledru's "Add a Slayer to another fictional universe" thing. Specifically, about which fictional universe?
Babylon 5? It's been done. Repeatedly. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. And I've already started down that road with the two Delenn snippets.
Blake's 7? Also been done. There are at least two entire B7/Buffy crossover paper zines. Besides, the idea doesn't really appeal.
Xena? Well, they mention a play about Buffus the Bacchae Slayer. There's got to be a tale behind that. Problem is, every time I try to think of a Xenaverse Watcher my brain shows me Joxer.
X-Files? Don't really know enough about the world.
Twin Peaks? Hmm...
Tenchi Muyo!? Already too full of superpowered females for a Slayer to even be noticed.
Utena? Fewer superpowered women, but on the other hand it's too darn easy to slash. I mean, the opening scene of the series hss one girl waiting for another girl, who dresses in men's clothes and everyone refers to as the first girl's "boyfriend" -- including the first girl herself. A little later, the second girl ends up bethroted to a third girl after fighting an unpleasant guy for the possession of her. And that's just the first 25-minute episode.
Maison Ikkoku? You know, that could be fun. A shy, mysterious girl rents a room in the boarding house. Pretty soon, she proves to be amazingly strong -- and to have a bad crush on Kyoko.
Lexx? Um. No.
The Prisoner? "Hi, I'm Number 9 the Vampire Slayer!".
Moonbase 3 or Star Cops? Too few vampires on the moon.
The Muppet Show? Buffy, Meet the Feebles...
No, wait! I've got it! Muahaha! Evil laughter vanishes into the distance
