Speak Stiltedly and Wear a Yellow Shirt

I’ve been reading SelDear’s Veils of Reality series as part of my final push to vote in the Sam and Jack Awards by the Wednesday deadline. I’m a sucker for a good AU, or even a bad AU - twelve AU’s in one series is a bonus.

The muse gets hyperactive in the presence of AU’s, and now she has Yet Another Story Idea - one which requires the quantum mirror. I’m not sure what became of it; I was thinking about re-watching “Point of View” to find out, but if there’s another episode involving it, do tell.

Sometimes I wonder why people write in the real universe, when there are so many more possibilities open to you in AU’s. Somehow the AU’s seem more canonical than in Trek - I doubt I’d have an audience for an entire opus of AU Treks, but I think I could get away with never writing a non-AU Stargate story.
