Ooops, I did it again: HDM wackiness
Oct. 31st, 2005 04:57 pmAbout a year ago I wrote a Buffy the Vampire Slayer/His Dark Materials fic that is, as I said at the time, really less of a crossover and more a “Buffyverse with dæmons” story. It was good fun, but it’s not something I’ve thought about much since.
Then
liviapenn created the
sga_fusion challenge, and my thoughts immediately turned to my favorite, tragically underutilized fandom: His Dark Materials. I realized that I not only could write an SGA/HDM fusion story, I absolutely had to.
Unlike the Buffyverse story, which was basically a re-writing of the episode “Beneath You” (plus dæmons!), the SGA story grew and grew and grew...and now I have this odd beast: a piece of fanfiction that is, in my opinion, the most romantic McKay/Sheppard story I’ve written...but that’s based around a concept from another fandom altogether. So with that handicap in mind, I’ve prepared a little HDM/dæmons primer which I hope will enable those who are interested to give this story a try.
( Everything You Never Knew You Wanted to Know About Dæmons and Therefore Didn’t Ask )
Hopefully, that should be all you need to follow this story. And hopefully, at least somebody is still hanging around to read it!
On to the actual story!
