It's time for another Good Idea / Bad Idea
Mar. 1st, 2010 08:21 pmGood idea: Writing stories.
Bad idea: Writing crossover stories because shows share an actor/actress.
Ray Kowalski is not a cylon just because he is played by Callum Keith Rennie.
Similarly, Kate from White Collar is not a demi god just because she's played by the same actress as Annabeth from Percy Jackson. Even if both characters are intelligent and even calculating, like the classics, carry out quests for rare items, and hang out in New York.
That would just be silly.
Quick, a distraction!
Why can't I be a normal fangirl who convinces herself that Lauren Cruz is an undercover Wendy Watson?
