Gate fanfic ideas and recs.

I thought that his main idea was to create a replacement mythology for the British Isles because the Normans destroyed the records.
That would make it sort of pagan fanfiction.
That may have been to some extent true when he wrote the Book of Lost Tales, but the Silmarillion and LotR are quite divorced from that and it has never been intended to glorify paganism.

Aside from the Apostles, the Gate Gods have no dominion outside their world and can't go to Arda. But just think about it. Rory traveling with Gandalf who already has a bit of a dodgy reputation. Just imagine it.
That isn't a reason for Eru to allow the gate to form, it's a reason for him to keep their discordant influence out of his choir. Melkor's themes are already filling any purpose that could serve.

Eru works in mysterious ways, mayhaps he is simply letting this all play out to se what results.

RON/PLC was a wonderful country.

Or he does it to curb the fun of these quasi-gods and their meddling in the affairs of other worlds by inviting them into his own to their own destruction.
For it must be remembered that it is those of the Gate who can do nothing in Arda, nowhere is it said that He cannot do His tricks in Falmart whenever they connect.
And the earlier they arrive, the more screwed they are. Especially if Sadera runs into the Noldor. Well, Sadera's always gonna be screwed. Though they may stand a chance against the remnants of the Arnorians or the combined forces of Rohan and Gondor but only because of their numbers. Against Mordor it won't be that easy. Or against Isengard.

Depends on who they slam into and accidentally help or hinder. If they say slam into the Orc Armies as they besiege Gondolin, that would disrupt their assault long enough for the Elves to counter-attack successfully and mayhaps even get the bulk of their people out. Or if it opens up in Gondolin, it may become a total defeat of the Elves with no survivors.

Lots of ways it can go good or bad depending on certain points of view.

Another possible set of crossovers is the Gate opens up in Videssos, or Derlaavi, or Kingdom of Detina, or Raumsdalia, basically Turtledove Universe Worlds.

The gate opens in Japan, except its Imperial Japan right off the Russo-Japanese wars.

Alternatively, to make the curb-stomp even more ridiculous, the Gate opens onto Imperial City on Luthien.

Honestly? The Curbstomp was so bad in GATE I actually felt sorry for the Empire. Not Zorzal, but the Empire as a whole. They got beaten down so bad and had their reputation so trashed you really couldn't go any lower for them. Hardy got what she wanted. To see the Empire humbled.

The question is what to do after that?

Then she humbled the JSDF by sending Arachnids at them.

Then she got disowned by her followers for being a vindictive bitch.

Arachinds...really!

1st movie arachnids or book arachnids?

You know this basically calls for an SST/Gate crossover, right?

Both movies and book.

Book stomps immediately.

Movie SST could stomp eventually, if they get the tech from all 3 live action movies and the SST CGI films.

Rico gets promoted, gets demoted, and gets Bunnygirl waifus.

Also considering how warlike they are, I am sure there will be a bunnygirl sky marshal in no time.

Um, don't forget that the original SST movie was supposed to be a leftard parody of militarism and a happy ending hateboner stroking session for those that hated the book.
So it is possible that incompetent movie SST higher ups send a numerically inferior and badly supported unit in to deal with the enemy if we are playing this anywhere near straight.

Even modestly competent SST higher ups means immediate stomp, but that would sort of break the stupid movie adaptation's stupid canon.

Don't forget that these are the geniuses that tried to zerg-rush a zerg-rush.

Indeed.But,WH40 is doing the same with Imperial Guards against Tyranids and orks - AND IT WORKS ! sometimes.
If you talk about incopetent leders - even most incopetent leaders on SST side would not help Saderans,technological gap is too big for that.
Saderans would be lucky to kill few soldiers,that would be all.Not even one win battle,like Zulu against England for them.

"It worked in 40K" is never, ever, a reason to think a tactic would be viable. That's the setting that spawned the "Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword!" meme after all.

Also, the Imperium has decent crew-mounted heavy weapons, tanks and artillery for support, and a large spaceborne fleet to go shooty-shooty bang-bang at the onset of any engagement or to turn the planet into molten slag if shit hits the fan.

Contrast this with the SST federation, which basically just dumped footsoldiers on Klendathu without any cover or heavy artillery/tanks/crew-operated weapons as support.

EDIT: shooty-shooty bang-bang, FFS I need to stop listening to Arch! Also, VS thread created. ;)

Stargate. Have the Stargate set in another country on that world. SGC makes contact not realizing its the world from Gate. Maybe before Japan is brought into the secret of the SGC. No one at the SGC really knows its 'that' world until SG-1 and Recon Team 3 stumble into each other. Que a very awkward meeting and the Stargate Program getting exposed to the Japanese government. Cause I got the feeling that relations between the US and Japan weren't so great in GATE.
