you wear guilt like shackles on your feet

So, there was this Doctor Who/SG-1 crossover plotbunny offered on a list. And the stipulation was that it could "be slash or gen... whatever you want". Now, if I were handing out a plotbunny, my stipulation would have been "here. Make it anything you want." But, obviously, hetship isn't good enough for people. It must be slash or gen, or they just don't wanna hear about it.

This does, however, make me want to write a horribly hetshippy DW/SG-1 crossover.

Dr. Grace Holloway becomes the new specialist surgeon assigned to the SGC.... After all, she'd be perfect. She's already encountered the strange and paranormal.

(btw, there's a fairly decent one up on ff'net that's FourthDoc, and borrows Pyramids of Mars lexiconography...)

I agree with your general sentiment about people who want only slash or no ship.

Thing is, though, in some fandoms "gen" is used to mean "het." In the Xena fanfic world, for example, they use "alt" and "gen." I've only rarely seen "slash" or "het" used in Xena archives.

Yeah. I'll concede that that does happen, occasionally... *g*
