I thought we could use a place to ask questions that come up while writing fanfic. Like questions about cannon or if something seems consistent with what we know about the characters. This is not intended to substitute for beta reading, but as a way to get specific questions to a wide audience. |

I'm working on a story where the characters will be undercover. I need a cover job for Sam and a cover job for Luke where they can each work from home with flexible hours and plausibly support an upper middle class lifestyle. One of them will be a freelance journalist who inherited some family money and is working on a novel. Probably that will be Luke. I can't come up with anything for Sam. Anyone have ideas? |

I'm trying to avoid twitter. I don't have enough time to manage that too. Let alone the two identities that would require. I like to keep my fandom life and my real life apart. I write srs bsn reports for the government, and I rather those people didn't know I wrote fairly trashy fanfiction. |

Often internet-based jobs are work-from home (or can be work from home). My neighbour was a mobile mortgage specialist and he worked from home and basically drove around from location to location as needed. |

My first thought was something similar: one of those annoying people who sell stuff like windows, eaves troughs, duct cleaning, and always call around dinner time or at some other inopportune moment! (I know many also work in call centres). I could see Sam calling people up, using that grating "Gabe" voice and totally torturing them! (which might not be part of your plot, but...)I have a neighbour who repairs computers at home. He really sucks at it (another reason, like you, that I use a fake name on the internet...borrowed from a relative who'll never know , meanwhile), so he's a dog walker as well - lots of tangled leashes! Envisioning Sam undercover trying to portray a 'regular' guy rather than a bad a-- is totally bringing a smile to my face! Lookin' forward to reading your story! |

Thanks for the suggestions! They were really helpful. I'm open to more if anyone has them. I'm not quite there in story yet, but this has been bugging me. |

Can anyone tell me either which episode the Russian kid who couldn't speak English was in OR the name of the officer who ended up translating. Am thinking of using him in a fic but don't know his name! |

How about freelance architect. That's what my brother does and he spends more time in his backyard sketching than he does in front of the computer. He's super-successful, yet seems to know alot more about his neighbors than I'm comfortable with, so that's a plausible undercover alias. |

another one of those (many) times when we realize that we all know way too much about these characters, episodes, etc, etc!

I thought I'd throw this out there as I'm looking for some additional ideas for a fic I'm writing. It's inspired by Sam telling Andy in the finale that she didn't have to do anything, he was going to do it all, show her every day until she said yes. So, I'm coming up with ways that Sam can woo Andy. I already have a few, but I'd love some additional ideas...so if you have any, please share?

Off the top of my head... Offer to cook for her...AND Claire Write up a 5 or 10 year life plan and leave it around his place someplace she's bound to see it Plan a romantic trip out of town for them Invite her to spend a holiday or some other occasion (birthday?) with Sarah and her family or play host to both his relatives and Andy's at his place (assuming Claire & Tommy could be in the same room without killing each other) Write another "evaluation" describing all the ways he thinks she's grown and become a good police officer since she was cut loose and no longer under the direct supervision of a TO. (basically use it to undo the damage done when he vented about his habit of following a rookie's instincts rather than his own) |

File her reports at work? I know that's a big annoyance for police officers. Also, pick up her dry cleaning. |

The other thing I thought of was that I don't see him doing yoga, and I don't think he should have to change everything about his likes and dislikes, but maybe instead he could be the one to initiate suggesting they do something athletic together that's more both their speed, like running or playing basketball. |
