Crossovers, fusions, and AUs in FKFicFest

[brightknightie]

We've had crossovers in fkficfest, but it wandered through my mind today that I can't seem to recall, off the top of my head, any fusions (as distinct from crossovers)* or the most typical sorts of "total"/"mundane" AUs (like, coffee shop AU, high-school AU, band AU).

In this year's game, I'll be sure to list those specifically as allowed, along with crossovers, at the "minimum 51% Forever Knight, however you choose to measure it" threshold.

(This thought is brought to you by the notion of Janette, not Guinan, running Ten-Forward on the Enterprise-D.)

* Addendum: Apologies! I'm probably mis-defining "crossover" versus "fusion," and I may well have blown it entirely on how to reference AUs! Of course the fest has enjoyed future!fic and space and pirates and many things. I should be more careful with vocabulary I don't know well! And with times my memory is clearly failing.

A factoid from the novels - prune juice as a Klingon drink came from the novels (John Ford, I believe was the first to use it) and it is mildly intoxicating to them.

Oh, I didn't know that. All these years, I thought Worf's on-screen line about prune juice being a warrior's drink was a meta joke about prune juice's unpleasant taste and effects on the gastrointestinal tract.

A matter of preference, clearly. I love prune juice! I do agree about its effects, though: it has to be taken in small quantities.
