A Terminator: SCC FanFiction
Disclaimer: I do not own Sarah Connor Chronicles or the Terminator Saga. The following events are fictional. Any similarity to real events or people (save two) is totally coincidental. At least, they better be.
Author's Note: This fic is number two on my SCC list. That said, I'm getting used to the characters a little, and Cameron is damned hard to write for. Don't be too gentle in your reviews, but don't skewer me either unless I really, truly suck and have no style.
I began writing this story before Season 2 began, and as it continued, I integrated new ideas from S2 in it. That said, it should be looked at as kind of an AU story, since at some point I had to break with cannon to continue the story as I had envisioned it. I wrote it because I think the idea is pretty cool, and it crosses my favorite TV series with my favorite subject matter. I know the story is a little ludicrous to imagine, but hey, this is Terminator we're talking about. If I can say so, it's pretty well researched. But occasionally, as with all writers, I've had to fudge the facts a little to maintain dramatic effect. We can't all write with the veracity of Ward Carroll or Steven Coonts, much as we'd like to try. So before someone points it out, I know, I KNOW, during the dates of this writing VFA-32 did not use the F/A-18F block 26 with the AESA radar and advanced crew station. I know it's wrong that I have the WSOs occasionally wearing the Joint Helmet Mounted Cuing System, since they would only be doing this in an aircraft with the ACS and as of these dates, only VFA-106 and VFA-213's Super Hornets are so equipped. I'm almost certain that the described symbology of said JHMCS is incorrect because I have no real idea what it actually looks like, and considering that I can't afford one and they're illegal to own if I could, I don't think I'll know anytime soon. And please forgive me if I get some squadron radio callsigns, or the departure routes from Oceana NAS, or the layout of the combat information center of a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser incorrect. I have my limits, ya know? Also, the characters of Jennifer Chung and Robby Crocker are based physically and personality-wise on real people I've known or worked with. Some of the quotes and dialogue are not made up. If either of those people is reading this, sorry, but you made yourselves stand out.
That all said, and bluntly, please do enjoy this, and I'd be thrilled to hear that you do. And if you don't, be so kind as to tell me why.
