Thanks for your responses, which I will get back to soon. I spent yesterday taking care of myself and seeing a few different friends, so many coffee shops . . . and I'm seeing Marshall this afternoon with herselfnyc, which makes me very happy, because Thurgood Marshall is one of my all-time heroes. One situation is remedying itself partially, and another might, or at least I know I have good friends. (The pre-med director pimped my class to his constituency; may or may not help, but all the faculty I've talked about it with think it sounds amazing. Just hope enough students do, too.)
So much grading and planning to do. Also, with my Yuletide assignment ahead of me and I signed up for the smallfandomsbang and I have the mystery to write, not to mention academic research articles . . .
why did I just write 1000 words of a Jessica Jones - Wynonna Earp crossover? Now the trick with crossovers, of course, is not to just set up the Really Cool Situation, which is Trish and Jessica in Shorty's bar, noting that the guy behind the bar looks an awful lot like one of the guys in the mural outside a dive bar on Avenue A back home (the real life Doc Holliday's, at which I have celebrated friends' birthdays once or twice), and then Waverly squealing with joy that it's Patsy! (Because reruns are eternal, especially in Purgatory.) Oh, and of course Jessica commenting that if Trish was going to drag her along on a story, why did she manage to bring her from Hell's Kitchen to Purgatory?
But there needs to be a plot. My idea was that Trish is taking some vacation time to do a story for NPR -- which takes them to the Ghost River Triangle. And Jess is still a mess after The Defenders s. 1, so Trish brings her along. I was thinking about something with a pipeline, but I don't want to be disrespectful to the real life situation, so maybe frakking. Which I also don't want to be disrespectful about, but is a battle being fought more all over, as opposed to the very specific situation with DAPL.
Also, do you think Wynonna and Jessica would hit it off, after initial wariness, or not? Not in a 'shippy sense, just whether they'd like each other or not. (Although if anyone else wants to ship them, I'd certainly read it.)
