I was meandering about LJ and found

wtf27 a "Where Crack Comes Home To Roost" community. Except, where Captain Jack Harkness is concerned, many of their wtf prompts are actually canon...

1) Gender swap.
2) Transformation (animals). (I've already written this)
3) Transformation (inanimate). (Canon for DW- Love and Monsters- thanks

mad_jaks!)
4) Wings.
5) Tentacles!
6) Mpreg. (canon for TW, sort of)
7) High school AU.
8) Apocalypse Now. (World's ended twice in canon EOD and SOTD&LOTTL)
9) Supernatural (creatures). (Fairies in canon)
10) Supernatural (powers). (ESP in canon- to an extent- with tech)
11) Fantasy AU (traditional).
12) Fantasy AU (urban). (canon- Utopia)
13) Fuck or Die. (canon- Day One)
14) Pornstars. (Who doesn't think Jack has DONE this?)
15) Hookers. (see #14)
16) You see, I woke up gay. (NOT an issue with Jack- it's his canon character)
17) Trading Places.
18) Forced Union.
19) Timeshift. (canon)
20) Aliens. (canon)
21) Doppelganger. (canon- considering how many versions of Jack there are in the timeline)
22) Twins or Non-canon Siblings.
23) Out of Time. (canon- the show's already done this- CJH)
24) Slaves. (kind of looks like Jack's forced into working for TW...)
25) Media Crossover. (I've already written this many times over)
26) Spies and Agents. (canon)
27) OMG we forgot ___. (Writer's choice.)

So out of 26 specific prompts 13 are CANON for Jack between Torchwood and Doctor Who and another two (if not more) are completely in character for Jack. I find that humorous.

Looking back at some of the conversations I've had about the show, I realize just how entirely strange the conversation would be in any other context. It's fantastic.

"Oh, we're talking about Capt Jack here" is the ultimate bail out

LOL...apparently every part of Barrowman, characters included, is the ultimate bail out.

works for me!

Did you see I posted my clichéridden fic based on this list?

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Crack should never be apologized for.

as long as it's been properly warned for. And I don't think I could have made the crack warnings any clearer...

Yeah, I really don't think you could've.

I almost forgot I made this icon during the train ride to Portland. I think it's rather appropriate at the moment.

Hee. Glad you like. I got some odd looks while making that one. I love making people wonder.
