mcshep AU's with neither Rodney or John as physicist or pilot

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

I am trying to get together a list of AU's and wondered if anyone has any suggestions. I am looking for ones where neither have ever been their usual occupations. So for example I would not include Academics by Pru (all time favourite read)as Rodney is still a physicist but would include all those musician ones or skaters or chefs etc.To clarify I want them to be human and to be on Earth and have a contemporary setting. Will take any where they used to be physicist/pilot but have now got new occupations.

To cut text, you type a < and then you type lj-cut text and then you type whatever you want to hide and then you type an = sign and put in a title, and lastly you type a > If you go to the FAQ help file on livejournal you can read all about how to cut text and put in links, etc. :o)

As for suggestions - gosh, are there any left? That looks like such a comprehensive list! Wow. What would be totally awesome is if you put the name of the associated fic out beside it. Or are you working on doing a Delicious tagged list? Hope you let us know when it's finished!

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

now see that's my problem. The words appear to be in english but I can't make them make sense. I have problems translating so I learn by actually doing? but I need to watch someone do it so I think I am stuffed.....
I have the ones so far as word doc so I could send to you if you want. Its a bit rough and ready because I am still adding...
I thought of putting the lot in the posting but without the lj cut thing I thought it would be too much. If anyone wants a particular pairing I will try and send it. lol
Thank you for trying to help the unhelpable though......(is that a word?)

[sp23.livejournal.com]

To do an lj cut tag:

< lj-cut>Text of your post< /lj-cut>

Remove the space between < l> and < /> and that's all you have to do. It's very easy.

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

thanks for that but when I tried it everything just vanished without giving anyone access....so there must be something really obvious that I am not doing so I think I will just leave it be.lol.

Hi there, I see folks have tried to explain lj-cuts to you before, but if you can't manage to insert one into this post please delete it and make a new post with the lj-cut codes in place before hitting the post button.

To recap how to make lj-cuts:
- click on the 'edit this post'
- switch to HTML mode (not RichText, this is important!)
- find the place in your text where you want your lj-cut to start, and copy&paste this there (you can replace the text, of course): <lj-cut text="The list of AU occupations I've collected so far">
- now find the place where you want your lj-cut to end, and copy&paste this there: </lj-cut>
- click on save/publish/post/whatever that button was called, check on the comm's main page to make sure the cut is working, and you're done :-)

If you have further problems contact me and I'll be happy to help you out, but this post cannot remain as it is, it's way too long without a cut. Thanks for understanding, and lemme know how things go.

[chireel.livejournal.com]

You could also try the cut with the Rich Text editor, just highlight the text you want under the cut and hit the button for lj-cut.
If you want to use html tags on the rest of your text you can always switch back to the html editor ;)

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

thanks for that. I have given it yet another go. hopefully this time it will have worked. If it doesnt I shall just delete whole entry, especially as no-one seems to have any other suggestions...lol

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

so thanks for that. will try this next time, if I ever try this again. Tired now....lol

Re: [mod]

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

Like I said, if it doesn't work, contact me and I'll help you type & format the text for the post so it works, then you'll just cut&paste into a new post, and Bob's your uncle. :-)

belay that

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

I see you've made it work after all. Good job! \o/

Re: belay that

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

I will have to save your example to use in future 'cos it was the only one that worked. (now if I can only work out how to tag/save it for future use...)
I have impaired memory problems and a learning difficulty so have to learn by being shown. usually several times... eventually it will stick. so thanks again. until next time...

Coffee shop/Coffee shop worker

Like... John is a coffee shop? *g*

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

LOL. I think that supposed to be coffee shop OWNER or possibly manager.
I have another list of crack!fic in which John as coffee shop would fit perfectly. All I need is someone to write it....hint?

Re: belay that

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

I've collected a bunch of useful html codes here (http://debris-k.livejournal.com/4531.html) a long while back; I think that should help you out.

Re: belay that

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

woah. there is a lot there for me to work my way through. think i will practice in sekkrit. thanks.

[haruechan.livejournal.com]

There is "PuddleJumper Estates and ZPM Enterprises", where John's a Real Estate agent and Rodney is a billionaire...

There is also another one where Rodney is a Cop (or FBI agent) and John is unemployed (or is a porn actor, in the beginning of the fic, at least)... I'm looking that one out on my bookmarks to make sure...

I love this kind of AUs... Do you have the fic's list as well? I would love to reead a bunch of these...

[(Anonymous)]

I'd love the word doc! Especially the knight/monk story - how did I miss that one? I remember *artwork* for something similar during McShep Match, but I don't remember reading a fic with that pairing, and I'd love to see that!

My email is mezzo_cammin@hotmail.com

Thanks!!

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

Thanks for that suggestion for puddlejumpers and zpm enterprises.I can't remember if I thought Rodney was a bit too close to physicist but I think I will add to my list.
I thought I had the porn /cop one but I got myself a bit confused when making the list. If you can remember/find the fic I can check the list.
If you would like the list it is a rough word doc so just give me your email address and I will send to you.
Thanks for the suggestions.

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

lean on me by elayna88.
Not on list as John is disgraced pilot.
http://community.livejournal.com/slashfest/186660.html

have put puddlejumper estates on list

[sp23.livejournal.com]

Did you remove the spaces and remember to use the back slash ( / ) on the closing tag for your cut? You really should use the cut tag because it's rather rude to have such a long list uncut on a post.

ETA: Ah, I see debris_k helped you. Good.

[em_kellesvig]

It would be great to have links to all these stories. :) I love AUs.

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

can send list of links if you give email. I am not up to putting all the links in this post. In enough trouble as it is. lol

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

sent I hope it arrives. fingers crossed.

[haruechan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the one... Ow, right! He was pilot. I couldn't remember the details...

My e-mail is haruechan (at) gmail (dot) com
Can you send me the list? Thank you so much in advance!

[anonymoouse.livejournal.com]

sent.
