I will get people's reading out! Today! I swear!

Doing a good job with posting every day otherwise, aren't in? (In my defense I still kind of believe it's last Tuesday.)

Meanwhile intoabar, the crossover challenge, is taking signups again. I want to sign up! I missed last time because last time this year I *also* lost entire weeks of duration, but I have done most of them (Even if a lot of them have been ficlets that I never reposted off the comm because I meant to expand them and then never did.)

But I can't decide on fandoms to request this year. I have a couple fandoms I'm sort of into, the one I'm currently really deep into I think I haven't talked about on this journal ever really and I don't think I want to put it into intoabar, so I'm left with way to many 'maybe's a not a lot of yeses.

So, anybody want to give me two fandoms and I'll tell you how I'd cross them over? Any fandom I've talked about on here (including in my 100 days of recs series), any fandom I have AO3 bookmarks for, anything I have marked 'read' in Goodreads or LibraryThing, heck if I follow your journal any fandom *you've* talked about enough that I probably have a clue (Although of course the better I know the fandom the more detailed the scenario will probably be.)

Looking at your Ao3 bookmarks, let's go with Les Mis and The Martian :D

OK so, there are two options here: one is to just AU the Les Miserables characters forward into the Martian's space program where they would fit in just fine, but that feels like cheating?

The other option is as a sequel to my ever-researched never-written canon-era AU where Les Amis survive the barricade but end up in prison, from which, a few years later, an also-not-actually-dead-but-also-in-prison Galois recruits Combeferre for an *intensely* steampunk, secret balloon-based one-way moonshot as part of a France/England space race triggered by the not-actually-a-hoax events of the Great Moon Hoax, and of course Combeferre gets his friends recruited too. Upon arrival on said satellite they of course swiftly join in with Moon Rebels to overthrow the Man-Bat royalty of the moon and settle there in a new democratic-socialist-Fourierist utopia.

Anyway that's all backstory to the crossover, because of course eating Moon Food prevents human aging so as soon as their telescopes pick up Mark Watney's surival Les Amis arrive over Mars in a moon-zeppelin to rescue him. He reaction is basically 'sure, this might as well happen'. He introduces disco to Moon society and it's all downhill from there.

Okay, well, you know I am absolutely here for this :D :D

(Galois would sign up to join a Fourierist utopia, show up and realize it's the wrong Fourier, and then just roll with it.)

I just had to help my mom with some wiring work and learned that decades ago my math-teacher father had labelled all the circuits in the breaker box for the area just inside the front door with "fourier lights" and "fourier outlets"...
