send in the clowns....

[busaikko]

Indulge me, beautiful people. I have this persistent hankering for John Sheppard fics featuring clowns (okay, it was the clown noncon I found last week that seduced me to the big top, I admit). Crack is fine, or slash, or gen, darkfic/deathfic/firsttime fic (OMG fisttime clown fic FTW!) or anything with: John -- and clowns. Please?

(okay, it was the clown noncon I found last week that seduced me to the big top, I admit) I'm probably gonna regret this, but LINK PLZ.

HA HA HA HA HA!

(I have to confess, aslo, to once writing an AU where Rodney was a clown: http://busaikko.slashcity.org/?p=9 (I just have to go to the bad places, don't I?)

YESSS - Clown non-con for me

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! (I really liked your take on clown!Rodney btw. Very him.)

[busaikko]

... but with all the crack in this fandom, you'd think the clown thing would be HUGE *ponders* Where are the fics?....

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

Maybe people just aren't ready for clown-fics? But who knows, it might end up becoming the next big thing.

[busaikko]

Look below! Obviously, debris_k is seriously into this clown-kink *loves*

Once again, the SGA fandom comes through. :D

Coulrophobia (http://community.livejournal.com/_trouble_fics_/15909.html) by madd4the24, McShep, PG, the title is a good hint. ;-)

(Don't) Send in the Clowns (http://community.livejournal.com/mckay_sheppard/1361532.html) by bluejbird, PG, has sequel Two ways Rodney McKay runs off to join the NFL (http://community.livejournal.com/mckay_sheppard/1364249.html), also PG; in which illustrous *cough* past careers are discussed.

Competition is Healthy (http://beadattitude.livejournal.com/303476.html?thread=4764276#t4764276) by beadattitude, McShep, FRMA (has additional bits in the comment) has John evoking a childhood memory to himself in check. Er. All to do with sex? >.< Oh, and the sequel Competition is Healthy (part 2) (http://beadattitude.livejournal.com/303913.html) continues with the clown theme. Hee!

You don't mind if I worship you a little, do you?

*pounces on the chocolatey goodness*
...Wait, some of these are actually new to you? I was sure I was just going through the motions for forms sake, here. <:o)

[busaikko]

I think all of these are new, though I do vaguely recall reading the NFL one... sometime... somewhere. (I'm not that fond of clowns myself, but for some reason I just had this itch....) So: YAY! * has Callum deliver more munchies *

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

*pounces on CKR/Newbie(?) as well* I like the clown references in fics, but sadly there are really only a few of them that do more than just mention John's intense dislike. :-) Still, a simple search for *clowns* among my read fics came up with the above few, so I'm happy. I wish there were more of them, too!

[busaikko]

*watches your icon intently*

Perhaps the fandom needs a crack clown challenge. It's canon! And creepy! And wrong!

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

Totally! It would be tres cool - Zelenka would look outraged in make-up and a big red nose, and John would be the belle of the ball with his DO NOT WANT hissy-fitting antics. *is feeling ev0l*

"biggest ever sky" by lilysaid and jchalo is an absolutely GORGEOUS circus AU that involves most of the cast of SGA, including Zelenka-the-Clown. It is a beautiful, lyric atmospheric work, and I highly recommend it!

Ooh, thank you!

Send in the Clowns (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4030185/1/Send_in_the_Clowns) by Titan5

[busaikko]

Oh, that was good! Thanks for the rec!

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

This fic was searched for on sgastoryfinders so I of course thought of your post; just in case you missed it, here it is: Sometimes I think all my friends have been Imaginary. (http://glitterandlube.livejournal.com/502484.html) by glitterandlube (f-locked, you might need to ask to be friended for access). In which it's John's birthday, and the Marines go out of their way to get him novelty presents; he's not very amused. ^.^

[busaikko]

Heh--that was my search! I am compiling a list, so that the masses will not need to suffer for lack of twisted clown references. It is a solemn responsibility, and also something that will probably make me a laughingstock in corners of the fandom, but I would definitely put your name on it if you want, seeing as you contribued, like, half (er--unless you prefer anonymity as regards clowns....)

(P.S. Is your icon one of crotch contemplation? It is! yay!)

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

*hides head in sand* I knew I should've double-checked the names in the post, but I was too busy squeeing over another new Princess Bunny fic. >.<

Also, hey, have you seen the penguin list? Or some of my own lists/projects? Clown fics list - totally for the win.

I require no credit, thanks or praise (although I will not refuse 'em, either ;-) ) for any of my reccing, but would ask you kindly to drop me a line when the list this done with a link (unless you announce it someplace public enough for me to see it anyway) so I can add it to the local list of lists. Er, link to that on the comm's sidebar; I haven't memorized the post's URL... yet. I'm looking forward to seeing your list!

(P.S. My icon can be the contemplation of anything John might contemplate... while staring in the general direction of Rodney's groin. *cough* This one, though, is pure hand!love - I love me Rodney!hand!love, and hand!pr0n too. *cough*blush*)

[busaikko]

Gotcha! Might post today, provided no more plot bunnies hit.

* uses that Rodney voodoo icon *

[busaikko]

It lives! http://busaikko.livejournal.com/93330.html

*hides*

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks for letting me know!

[busaikko]

And there's a new fic, an SPN/SGA/HP crossover! *fears the fandom*

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

I saw it! Now I can't help but wonder who's gonna be the magically-inclined one, Sam or Dean? (Or Sheppard? *shudders*)

[busaikko]

You mean you haven't read the crossover fic where it turns out that John Sheppard is actually Harry's father James -- HA HA!

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

*shoves her crossed fingers in your face* Away from me, Satan! _{Er, I don't do HP. Haven't read the books, don't want to, will touch the occasional rare crossover only if it's really fandom-other-than-HP centric, or something. I have enough brain-matter eating fandoms at is it. >.<}

[busaikko]

Heh. I came here *from* HP, so to me all this TV-based stuff is the Work of the Devil (mostly because I live in Japan and trying to get my hands on American TV shows is... tricky). But yeah, Harry's dad has dark, messy hair, and well. Sheppard! (There's a large crossover-theme of ATA equalling magic. Someone *not me* should make a list....)

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

Someone *cough*totally you*cough* should make a comparison list of just how many fandoms ATA and/or magical (HP) genes have leaked into... that would be one fun list!

Also, you in Japan with all the mangas and animes and basically stuff-of-a-geek-fangirl's-dreams - I'm soooo jealous right now.

[busaikko]

Well, the parallels are pretty easy! Rowling's magic is genetic and inexplicable; ATA is genetic and fluffed up with pseudoscience so people don't notice that it's, basically, magic.

And the Japan thing.... Sadly, busaikko is an Old Person, and while she was into anime in her childhood days (Mach Go-go-go and Uchusenkan Yamato), right now all she knows is the stuff her Spawn like -- mostly Pokemon, Keroro Gunso, etc. But if you ever want to hear hoary tales about the days of cam-copying and genned-out vids and mimeographed zines, I'm your gal!

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

LOL Good to know there are some dinosaurs out there to let us uppity brats know that there was fandom before the electronic age. ;-)

Seriously, my first "fannish" reading was a Batman stories book, and I grew up on comics my father liked; I only learnt of animes and mangas when I was well into my teens, and only liked them after that. ...Other than Toriton (Triton) and Granzort, which I grew up on. It's scary to remember that at one point in my childhood I knew as many English exclamation words as Japanese!

[busaikko]

Heh! Mind you, I didn't know that the anime I saw on TV was Japanese: everything was dubbed. Just like a lot of little kids think that Disney is Japanese, because all the characters and songs are Japanese, and Disneyland is in Tokyo....

I wouldn't go back to the Old Fan Ways, though: the internet has done wonderful things to bring the community together. *links arms and sings filk of love and devotion*

(P.P.S. Your icon - the best evah!)

[busaikko]

I like to think of John and Todd as a canon 'ship... also John/John *g*.
