Alien Sex

[trinityofone]

So, I've been watching a little Farscape, mostly because siriaeve MADE me (or, all right, suggested that I should). There are two things that I have concluded:

1. Aeryn wins at awesome.
2. I wish the aliens on SGA were, well, more alien. Because this would lead to more stories with bizarre alien sex.

I am deeply, deeply disappointed that we don't have more of these. I mean, sure, there's some tentacle fic, but personally I could do with a lot more stories where the people of Pegasus do not have quite so compatible physiologies. This is not something that the Stargate universe seems compelled to explore—which is why we should explore it! With porn.

I would love to see stories where, say, Ronon or Teyla have equipment, or even just practices, that are not what our Earthers expect. Or, stories where what our boys (or girls) are packing is surprising or horrifying to the people of Pegasus. Or...and here I have to trace this back to Farscape and the episode that pushed all this muck to the forefront of my brain. Anyway, in this episode, 'The Flax,' they all encounter this species they aren't particularly familiar with—this scavenger guy who they kind of coerce into helping them out. And blah blah plot, he does, and then as D'Argo is leaving, scavenger dude suddenly hits on him. He reveals that he is actually the female of his species. So. I want the fics where Ronon is female of his species or Teyla the male of hers. C'mon! You know you do, too!

I would also love more "John-or-Rodney-or-whoever-is-actually-an-alien" stories, à la eliade's fabulous An Aesthetic Solitary Thing. *delighted shiver*

So...would anyone else be interested in a fic challenge of this sort, or am I just being a kinky bitch? And if you are interested, how would you like to see it run? Casual/structured, flashfic quick or with a longer lead time? Brainstorm with me! Or I may have to satisfy my needs by rushing off and writing the tender story of Ronon and his alien vagina.*

*I think I have discovered my new favorite threat. Imagine, at work: "Well, BossMan, if you can't make up your mind about these captions, I'll just have to rush off and write the tender story of Ronon's alien vagina!" BossMan: *cowers in fear* *acquiesces to my every whim*

I totally want more John-is-an-alien fic!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

More? Are you implying that there already is some? I mean, other than John-is-an-Ancient fic. (Not that I would object to more of that, too!)

*is probably forgetting something really obvious*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Quoi? *is slow today*

Farscape is, indeed, awesome that way. The problem with the SG universe is that we're told that everyone evolved from the meddling of the Ancients, right? So they're all derived from definitely humanoid stock (and we'll just handwave all biology ever because SG biology is total nonsense), and therefore unlikely to be sekritly very different from humans.

Which is not to stop you writing fic about it! But it's like the hypothetical language barrier - you'd have to ignore canon to play with it.

PS On B5 there is a race of aliens who look and behave a lot like humans, until it is revealed that they have genitalia (and internal structures) totally unlike ours *g*. There's actually (technically) at least one scene of full-frontal male nudity on the show, but it doesn't count because it's alien nudity.

[wychwood]

I've seen some. Did you read minnow1212's undermistletoe fic, for instance?

[trobadora]

Hmmm. I counted the Ancient!John ones too, but there is one other-alien!John story I remember: this one by liviapenn. *g*

[trobadora]

Ha! And that one, of course. *rolls eyes at self*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Yes, but not at the same time! And whichever of them it is is, like, surprised at everyone else's surprise. *explains herself poorly* Like, "You were not aware that this is how it works among Athosians?"

Although yeah, it probably goes back to the same kink. You caught me. ;-)

I would be on that challenge like the white on the rice, dear. And, I mean, it actually makes a remarkable amount of sense - can't you just see the Ancients monkeying around with biology and gender just to see what happened?

Plus, genderfucky porn is always a plus.

How great is Farscape, Oh John, Aeryn, D'Argo, but Rygel still cracks me the hell up!!

[siria]

Oh, you lie to save my reputation. I totally pinned you down on the floor in your living room until you agreed to watch it.

This is exactly where Stargate completely loses and Farscape totally wins. Farscape might be too insane for some people in stretches, but it's so alien! And sexy, of course. I still miss Crichton. :((

I think a shorter challenge - a month or so - would get people writing more; if there's too much time, people might forget about wanting to write for it. Then again, people are starting to go into a frenzy about 14 Valentines, so maybe something that ends end of Feb/March would be wiser?

[thisissirius.livejournal.com]

Also. This challenge would be made of so much awesome!

I can totally see Teyla as being the male of her species and maybe she's in a relationship with someone and John's all 'So, when are you going to have the babiez?' and she's all 'what are you talking about? I don't have the babiez' and John and Rodney are like 'O.o' and she confesses that it's the male Athosians who do the whole child-bearing things because they're the female of the species, so to speak :P

*sniggers*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

*sniffs* Yes, it's true. She sat on me until I cried.

*shame*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

This would put an interesting new spin on Halling and Jinto, methinks.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

*has identical 'duh!' reaction*

[bluebrocade.livejournal.com]

I would be interested! Especially if Ronon has a vagina. O.o

[trobadora]

And he's even the same species in this as in the other! My poor memory. *cries*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

The Ancients meddled, yeah, but who's to say they always used the same design? Or that after the initial meddling, the process of evolution didn't go differently on different worlds?

I actually think that, like the language thing, there's so little canon that you can basically dream up whatever wacky shit you want.

it doesn't count because it's alien nudity.

Awesome! That's like on BtVS where Spike could say "bugger" as much as he wanted, and it didn't count because it was British swearing. Well, like that only nakeder.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Please always justify my insanity. =)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I think something super informal might do the trick. I'm just kind of sucky at setting these things up.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I'm getting more and more tempted to actually just go ahead and write that...

[thisissirius.livejournal.com]

It really would! That would make them like, the equivalent of mother and daughter, and this could go someway to explain the extreme over-protectivness Halling seems to have at times. Maybe that has something to do with the manner in which Jinto's mother died, but I think this way is much better :P

it doesn't count because it's alien nudity.

But it was funny as hell that he was using his *genitalia* to reach under the table (clear to the other side of it, no less!) and steal stuff.

[diluvian.livejournal.com]

Do it! DO IIIIIIIIIT!

Please.
