The ups and downs of being a Jack.
I pointed folks to this rather scary exchange yesterday morning, but the post it originally appeared in was (and remains) locked.
Happily, the lovely and talented![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

From now on, I am Goldy Locks.

Lori has blonde hair, blueish-green eyes and looks a lot like Alicia, except she’s a little shorter and doesn’t have freckles, glasses or braces. She’s really different from the rest of them. Where as they are smart and well behaved, Lori is smart, but she gets into trouble a lot. She’s a smart alec. Her nickname is Goldy Locks, because her hair is golden and is really, really curly.

"Goldy Locks"? Pffft. I much prefer the realGlock Lori. Who is teh hotness.
I haven't tried the meme, because... seriously, how many fandoms exist in which there isn't some canonical character, however minor, whose name is Jack? And there's this tendency, worse among badficcers, to cross entirely inappropriate characters fromn one fandom into another... My point is, I really would just as soon not see those Captain Jack Sparrow/Faramir or Sirius/Colonel Jack O'Neill stories which I'm sure are out there somewhere.
Clearly the ff.net Mary-Sue-with-your-name meme was something I was right in thinking I should avoid.
My head hurts. I need to go read BATMAN #10 again.
Happily, the lovely and talented

glockgalJack is a bloody awesome name. I mean, Jack Sawyer? Yes. And now I can't stop thinking about Sirius/Jack O'Neill. Because, like. A stargate that, like, is wonky somehow and instead of taking Jack to a different planet just takes him to an AU Earth where there are wizards and he happens to meet a wanted convict escapee? *deep breath* Oh yeah. I could happen!
Soooo, of course I couldn't resist. And what do I find right off the bat?
Dumbledore: Welcome to Hogwarts all new students!
Jack: This place is so gay. Its perfect! *gasp*
Oh! And--
Jack Snape is my Harry Potter Character, anyway he gets drunk and goes on Space ghost RR
AND AND!
Harry Potter is transported to the rabid world of Pastor Jack Brock and Jerry Falwell...chaos ensues.
AHAH! You were close!
AU. Slash. M-preg. PotC crossover. At 19, Sirius runs from the wizarding world with his daughter only to stumble upon a Time Turner. He soon finds himself aboard the Black Pearl with none other than Captain Jack Sparrow, whom he quickly begins to fall for
I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE--
Stargate SG-1/Harry Potter crossover. Jack and Daniel go through the 'gate, and land in the world of Harry Potter. Will they go home, or stay and enjoy the magic? *Slash*
Okay, Okay, I'm done. Yeah, dude. Your name RULES.
buggery::eyes bulging out::
Uh. Yeah, that's... pretty much why I figured I'd just as soon NOT see these sorts of... things.
::peeks between fingers::
Jack: This place is so gay. Its perfect!
...yeah, okay, that one pretty much fits. It's no less terrifying for that, though.
anyway he gets drunk and goes on Space ghost
Hey, I'd love to go on Space Ghost -- I'd even consider getting drunk for it. But not if I had to be a Potter character. (Not my thing. ::shrug:: You know what I know about Sirius? He's a HP character, and an adult, and that's pretty much it.) Wait, wait. I am not getting into the vicarious character insertion. I'm NOT.
AU. Slash. M-preg. PotC crossover.
::crying:: MPREG?! Why does Glock hate meeeeeeeee...
I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE--
MAKE IT STOP--!
Jack and Daniel go through the 'gate, and land in the world of Harry Potter.
I haven't been so unhappy to be proven right since Bush took America to war. ::cringes under the desk::
I am TRAUMATISED now. And considering changing my name.
Your name RULES.
If I make you an honourary Jack, will you promise to NEVER EVER do that again?
I'll just be over here in the corner, rocking back and forth and hugging my knees to my chest.
