Title: Actualize This
Author: Helena Handbasket
Fandoms: Invisible Man, Stargate SG-1, Sentinel
Category: Crossover, comedy, adventure
Rating: PG so far

"Actualize This" is now on my short list of good fan fiction and I haven't even finished reading it yet. The characterizations are dead on, plot is engaging and well thought-out, and it's laugh-out-loud funny. What more can you ask for?

As if I haven't gushed enough about this fic yet, get this. I've never seen a single episode of "Sentinel." The author portrays the characters so well that I feel like I know them and care about them. Yay!

Kudos to lydiabell for introducing me to this fic.

I second your recommendation. I read this story quite a long while ago--found it on a fanfic webpage way back when. _I_ had never seen The Invisible Man, though I'd seen a few eps of Sentinel and am a big fan of SG-1, and you're right--I didn't know anything about the IM characters, but that didn't really matter. The story was highly entertaining all the same.

Thirded. I just about died laughing at the different perspectives of the guys, especially Jack's choice of nicknames for the rest of them. (Bobby Hobbes as Mr. Millhouse? *snerk*)

Haven't finished but it's making me laugh out loud and, worse, describe it to my child. I have never seen the SG TV show, gave up on The Sentinel after a couple of seasons and sorely miss The Invisible Man.

Glad to hear that you did enjoy/are enjoying "Actualize This." I was delighted to discover that Helena's really good at endings, too. :)

Earlier this evening I perused Helena's website (http://www.handbasketholidays.com). She's written another I-man fic, "Catholic Agency Boys in Trouble." (http://www.handbasketholidays.com/stories/cabit.htm) Guess what I'm reading tonight? :)
