Real post is happening tomorrow. It'll probably be long, ee. But for now..

Ask me a fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general. Questions can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want.

Well, I'm game. ;)

Uuuhm. Good question. I think I wrote a couple of fics examining that perspective and in one he went through some serious issues re leg amputation (but hooked up with Jack in the end) and in the other he hooked up with Juliet after everyone else left. But none of that would have been canon-possible, so let's just try to think in terms of canon compatibility. He'd have probably either ended up with one leg less or with some kind of serious injury so he probably wouldn't have been up for trips to the jungle but for sure he'd have made Locke's life way less easier. I'd have liked for him to still be the normal guy who manages to stay mostly sane even if traumatized to some degree, lol. But I think that if he had survived then Locke's role would have changed completely. Which is to consider. I'd have liked for him to see the hatch open though, since that's basically what he died for *roll eyes*. I'd have loved to see Des/Boone interaction. (Heck, Desmond didn't die just because Boone got hurt, that's have been interesting!) I also suspect he'd have been Team Jack for life, so I'd have loved to see him dealing with the Juliet situation at the end of S3 as well. If Shannon still died I'd have also liked to see him and Sayid having at least some kind of relationship since they'd have both lost her. (And Sayid still was the one delivering the speech at the funeral.) Mostly I'd have liked for him to get some more credibility and for Locke to get a bit less of that just to see how it'd pan out in case. Also because changing Locke's story would have meant a completely different endgame.

Mm, okay, one day I'll write that fic. XD

2. OMG THAT SOUNDS DELIGHTFUL.

First thing: rom-com-ish spin-off! Or at least, not like AAAANGST. So, Jack is pretty much still himself (works at the hospital, has crappy bedside manners etc), Boone works for the local Amnesty or some other nonprofit and goes to the hospital to donate blood/give out flyers/do volunteer work in his spare time/etc. They end up meeting a bunch of times and all of the hospital staff (including Juliet at least) takes bets on when the heck one of them is going to ask the other out. This also goes on at the nonprofit because whoever goes with Boone for flyers (I'd go for Charlie there) has practically told everyone including the boss (Rose or Bernard or both). We can also have the Sawyer/Miles cop show at the same time because they're in the station near the hospital and always go there to get treated or something. And Ben is something like Jack's sadistic boss who totally keeps tabs on the bets.

... I doubt ABC would air this.
