The AU Meme

[browngirl]

I saw this meme and loved it immediately. My version is a mashup of the ones I saw in penknife and miakun's journals:

The Hypothetical AU Meme: Take any one of the fandoms you know I write AND give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc.) or a time period (Ancient Rome, Renaissance England, etc). I will then explain what story from that fandom I would write for that AU.

While I will very much not mind being asked for a Minoan AU, I like other time periods and settings too!

DCU heroes in a LotR AU!

Specifically LOTR? Hrmn.

The Justice League as the Nine Walkers. Superman is Aragorn, Batman Boromir, Wonder Wooman is Legolas and Hawkgirl is Gimli! The four Robins as the four hobbits, Tim being Frodo, Dick Samwise, Jason Merry and Steph Pippin? And Zatanna is Gandalf. :D

I need to get drunk before I can write that story. Drunk on MEAD.

*pours you mead*

Superman is Aragorn

My first response was "What, Pa Kent was King of Gondor?"... *facepalm* At least, I'm sure Lois would make a very entertaining Arwen and the pointy ears will suit her.

Batman Boromir

Hands off the Robins hobbits! ";-]

Wonder Wooman is Legolas and Hawkgirl is Gimli

*cackles madly*

Zatanna is Gandalf

Talking about bad taste in hat fashion...

And would Lex Luthor be Sauron? Would that make Ra's al Ghul Saruman? How about Balrog!Joker?
I can't decide on a proper Gollum...
*is thinking about this too much*

I don't know why, but I really agree with the Jason Merry and the Steph Pippin thing. I just do.
