I wrote this post and before I knew it, the post had morphed into fic. :-)
FIC: Pointy Ears Rebooted
AUTHOR: Lobelia;
lobelia321
FANDOM: Star Trek 2009
CANON KNOWLEDGE NEEDED: None. Read one, read all. ;-)
PAIRING: Karl Urban / Eric Bana (Orlando Bloom implied)
GENRE: Real Person Slash
CATEGORY: It's even got a little bit of cross-over in it!!
RATING: G
DISCLAIMER: I do not know these people nor am I making money from this amateurish effort. None of what I say is true.
LENGTH: Short.
AUTHOR NOTE (that is to say, original post)
Scroll down for the fic and hit the lj-cut link. :-)
Hah!
Fanon is so easy. TWO degrees of separation!
A quick look at imdb.com revealed that two very familiar faces are acting together in the new Star Trek movie.
Karl!
Eric!
Karl was in Lord of the Rings with Orlando Bloom!
Eric was in Blackhawk Down with Orlando Bloom!
And in Troy!
Bingo! A fic is conceived!
I can't believe how easy this is. I wonder if fandom is like languages? A teacher at my high school could speak ten languages and told us, "After the fifth language, the rest are easy." So if you've been in a handful of fandoms, maybe the degrees of separation just get smaller and smaller...?!
Hollywood is clearly a village. I love rps.
Are there any more tiny degrees of real separation???

Pointy Ears Rebooted
By Lobelia
It's my first day on set and I'm pretty cool about it. I'm an old pro, after all. When I look at these young whippersnappers, I just smile, and hey, who's that elf over there? He reminds me of Orlando, with those pointy ears. When we were both in Rings together.
Ah no, that's no elf. That's Mr Spock.
Got to remember what franchise I'm in this month. Elves, gods, assassins -- it all starts to blur after a while.
But no, it doesn't. Of course, it doesn't. I'm so cool about all this. I totally know my lines.
I just mustn't think too much about Orlando when looking at whoever-it-is with the ears. I just must focus. Focus.
I know, I just won't look at that elf-eared bloke. Easiest thing in the world.
I mean what do I care that Orlando hasn't texted me in, like, months or something. Weeks. Texting is so last century, anyway. Or last something.
Let me see. Who's that? He's coming my way. I think I recognise his...
Oh shit.
He's hailing me.
"Hi. You must be Karl, right?"
"Er. Yeah..."
"I'm Eric, of course. I'm so glad that we're finally meeting. Orli has told me such a lot about you."
"Er."
"In fact, I got a text message from him just now. Haven't even read it yet. Hey, you up for a beer?"
Beam me up. Now.

FASHIONING FANON OUT OF THIN AIR

Date: 2009-05-31 08:46 pm (UTC)And this fanon thing is overrated anyway :) I've seen the movie (and loved it!) but I didn't even know that Eric Bana was in it until now. At least with Winona it only took me as long as the credits...
(no subject)
Date: 2009-05-31 09:19 pm (UTC)I can't believe you didn't realise Bana was in the film although you had seen the film. That cracks me up. Hahahahahah.... *wobbles* It also proves that canon is naught but fanon is all!
*falls over*
Have a pic:
Aren't they cute in their twin outfits?

Date: 2009-05-31 09:42 pm (UTC)And yes, Winona Ryder. She is playing Spock's mother and I have no excuse why I didn't recognize her...
The matching suits are great! Karl Urban's looks a little tight :) But in a good, muscle-y way...
And oops, I actually meant canon in my comment above, not fanon.
Frohe Pfingsten :)

Date: 2009-05-31 09:00 pm (UTC)Also, as you mentioned crossover. I know, it's beyond ridiculous by now but I do still remember that Draco/Cristiano idea, I do. Because I'm a terrier at heart apparently. Heh.

Date: 2009-06-04 10:22 pm (UTC)Definitely new grey suits. Honestly, where do these men go shopping? Their local K-Mart?
