I'd forgotten this, but I was digging through my fanfic stuff and found something I'd started to write: These Hallowed Halls. Backstory is that in way back in a January caption contest, Mike (aka DarkKnight here, MyklarCure at FF.net, and if you hadn't read his stuff, why are you here considering reading mine? Go read. Now!) had a joke about a JLA/West Wing crossover story. I was oddly inspired and began to write. I just read it, and decided to move forward with writing more. To get into the political aspects, the story borrows (with his permission) some of the events in the 3rd JLAint story "A Year in the Life".

You pulled that off exactly. This line got a laugh: Quote: "Urban legend?" Sam asked Josh. "He doesn't believe-" "He's from Brooklyn," Josh noted. Sam's eyes crept skyward. EndQuote. Second, respecting the style: Quote: "You know what we need to do?" "We need to ask them first?" "We need to ask them first." "Good idea, Mr. President," Leo said dryly. EndQuote. Talk fast, repeat phrases. Yes. We are in a West Wing Episode. Third, respect the trademarks. Quote: "You weren't at the thing?" Sam asked her. EndQuote SQUEEE! I got to that line and said to myself "Self, this is going to be all right." West Wing is a very tricky thing to fanfic. The characters are intelligent and knowledgeable, they act like experts, and interact like idiots, the pace is fast the topics are serious and the execution is done with passion and brevity. It's a very difficult thing to fanfic, and even harder to write into a DC universe. but this one... this one I think is going to be okay.

While this means I can't really comment too much on it, the merger of West Wing and JLA seems quite believable and entertaining. I'm definitely intrigued into reading the next chapter.

You know, men and women in capes walking down halls repeating each other a lot in disbelief. EndQuote. Peter Parker: #As they walk# Remind me again why I let Torch talk me into taking the morning watch at the Avengers Tower. Sue Storm: Because you had the thing. Reed Richards: What thing? Peter Parker: It wasn't a huge thing. Sue Storm: The fuss you made with Ben last night, it sure seemed like a thing. Reed: What was the thing? Peter: There was a Powerpuff girls marathon last night. #Thump Thump Thump. The Thing falls into step behind them# Ben Grimm: Hey guys. Webhead, I taped the South Park marathon for you. #To the others# By the way I got your messages. What is it with you people and alliteration anyway? Reed: #Shrugs# I dont know what you mean. Peter: #Ben moves down another hallway as peter starts Reading out his message# Message from J. Jonah Jameson, he wants Peter Parker to get in touch with Bruce Banner and see if he and Reed Richards are up for a conference call on the latest upgrades to the Green Goblin's glider and Victor VonDoom's new anti-Silver Surfer weapon. #Sue grins at Reed, who shrugs.# Reed: Oh, By the way, Spider, we got the final test results back from Stark and it turns out we were wrong about Ben Reilly, turns out you're really the clone. Peter: What do you mean I'm really the clone!? Reed: I mean you're really the clone. Sue: You can't tell me this is a complete shock?! Reed: Yeah! I cant believe that Dr Xavier's psychic hotline didn't tell me, rest assured I'm gonna demand my two bucks back. #The stairwell comes to a door, they open it and come out on the rooftop# Sue Storm: Where's the Fantasti-car. Reed: Why would we need the Fantasti-car? Sue: Why else are we on the roof? Reed: #Points at Peter# i dont know, I was following him. Peter: I was following her. Sue: #Embarrassed# I was following Reed. #Awkward beat# Peter: #Pulls on mask# Okay, lets not tell anybody this happened.
