Idea for Death Note crossover number 39856786598

So some backstory on me, since I realize I've never talked much about myself in this journal: A long time ago, I was into Trek--mostly, the newer series Enterprise that aired on UPN and was cancelled after four seasons for low ratings. My first fanfics were on that series and Voyager--most of it stuff that I would snark on GAFF or badfic_quotes now if I'd not written it. The last one I  wrote was in 2004, and the last time I was a regualr poster at my main Trek board was early last year.

But all that in mind, I did have a random thought pop into mind a few days ago--in the 22 to 24th centuries where so many Star Trek series take place...could a Death Note kill a non-human, like a Vulcan or a Romulan? *is unsure* Vulcans and their 200 earth-year life spans would be a big power-up to any Shinigami, no?

 I remember reading somewhere that the author of the series had considered the idea of the Death Note taking many forms over the course of human history such as a scroll for ancient Japan, or something resembling the Old Testament in Medieval Europe. It isn't that much of a stretch to think that the rules could be amended to be a bit more inclusive, if need be, since with many non-humans moving in, there are that many moving out and all over the galaxy, and I doubt the Shinigami who are too lazy to write simple names in a book would be willing to fly out into space to kill humans.

God, I wish more Trek fans knew of this series. I think this is by far one of my better ideas for a Trek fanfic...moreso than the horrid Archer/T'Pol stuff I used to write.

I love the idea!! I could see this leading to a lot of interesting conflicts. You write it, I'll read it. :)

Hey, cool! You know a bit about Trek yourself (other than the basic pop culture stuff)?

You call that crack? My dear, that is not crack. That's just an interesting idea.

Crack is Watari secretly being Hitler (It was a dream. Don't ask.) or L being Rupunzel and Light being his relucant and apprehesive prince who L keeps throwing things at. Or anything - Anything!- crossed over with Captain Planet (Let's just say that Saint Archie and I make a frightening team, and I am miserable for crack crosses)

That reminds me...I may yet write that one where Light, L, and Misa get shoved into Wonderland. Or Jareth's Labyrinth. *wanders off musing*

Glad you think so :)

Meh, crack seems to be a bit subjective, depending on who you talk to, but when you see it, you know (a great example being the fic "Death Walk," (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3864571/1/Death_Walk) which is about Light being a fashion model).

If you know anyone who loves writing crack, or if you have some, you should jump on into the 10_crackfics comm!

I watched Star Trek with my dad when I was on. It didn't capture my attention, but the idea of the DN killing non-humans. Hmm. It can't kill shinigami, so it would be interesting to see what it can kill. I would think specifically humans from the rules but hmm. That makes me think.
