It's time for another Good Idea / Bad Idea

[cherry]

Good 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?

I AM WATCHING IT, YES. I BLAME YOU. (Except that instead of the buddy-cop-threesome show everyone else is watching, I appear to be tuning into the 'Middle Girl and daughter of Athena save the world from monsters and aliens off screen whilst protecting their secret identities' show. Because I am that special.)

See, I was trying to figure out how ALL the White Collar people would fit into a demigod universe.

If I were to be seriously considering writing this, I would have come to the conclusion that I could make one other person a demigod with straining believability more than I was already with the GREEK GOD SPAWN thing.

If this were the case, I would maybe, possibly, have pegged Peter as Athena. Justice, strategy, etc., etc... The long games, the research, the plotting planning, the badge.

The delicious, delicious confusion if I were to write the entire thing from Neil's POV...
