The Secret World of Alex Mack/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

* ''Synopsis:'' When demons begin attacking the Wizarding World, Hermione Granger receives a prophecy—she is the new Chosen One, and she must assemble a team of women from other universes in order to defeat the hellgoddess behind the invasion. The prophecy and the hellgoddess' own gate magic leads her to [[The Secret World of Alex Mack|Alex Mack]], [[Stargate SG-1|Dr. Samantha Carter]], [[DCU|Selina Kyle]], [[The Bionic Woman|Jaime Sommers]], [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy Summers and Willow Rosenberg]].

* ''Comments:'' Well-written crossover with a brisk pace and entertaining plot. The wide disparity in power levels between the members of Hermione's team is not the plot hole it initially appears to be; each member has their critical contribution to the task at hand, and unlike many such crossovers, they are not forced to act in isolation once they arrive in Wizarding Britain—they are in communication with their homeworlds and are able to draw upon their resources there to help achieve their victory. Has threefive sequels so far by Castle -- ''[http://www.tthfanfic.org/story.php?no=27744 Cross Purposes]'', in which most of the members of Hermione's team seek out the local counterparts of the women and men they met during the events of ''League'', ''[[The Secret Return of Alex Mack]]'' (recommended below), which follows Alex Mack as she makes changes in her life after being inspired and informed by the other women of the League and their teammates, and ''[https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-32071/DianeCastle+The+Secret+Collocation+of+Alex+Mack.htm The Secret Collocation of Alex Mack]'', an on-going (asalso ofrecommended summer 2017below), storyand in''[https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-32792/DianeCastle+Cross+Purposes+2.htm whichCross thePurposes women2]'' ofand the League -''[https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-33597/DianeCastle+Cross+Purposes+3.htm andCross thePurposes native3]'' Alexwhich Macksfollow fromall theirthe worldsalternate --Alexes are swept up and deposited inafter the worldevents of ''[[The DresdenSecret Files|Harry Dresden]]Collocation'' by forces as-yet unknown for reasons also as-yet unknown.

* ''Synopsis:'' After an adventure where she was called to another universe as part of a team of extraordinary women, Alex Mack returns home determined to stop fighting crime in secret and instead become her Earth's first true superhero. To help her, she plans on finding and recruiting her world's versions of the women who inspired her: [[Harry Potter|Hermione Granger]], [[Stargate SG-1|Dr. Samantha Carter]], [[DCU|Selina Kyle]], [[The Bionic Woman|Jaime Sommers]], [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy Summers and Willow Rosenberg]]. With the aid of her family, she develops the persona of Terawatt, and enters the public stage with a bang. Not long afterward, she joins forces with a small, unconventional government agency created to deal with supers, and begins to build a team of talented people—both super and not—around herself. Along the way she becomes a global hero, and discovers a sinister conspiracy whose plans horrify even the hardened military types with whom she works...

* ''Comments:'' Very well-written, engaging, and satisfyingly ''long''—235 chapters. Alex's growth from "kid with powers" to basically her world's version of Superman is convincingly and entertainingly portrayed, as is the ensemble cast that assembles itself around her, starting with Willow Rosenberg, Silicon Valley millionaire. Alex goes through highs and lows, victories and defeats and hearbreakingheartbreaking losses in this complex story that eventually grows to have a global backdrop—and global-scale opposition.

* ''Synopsis:'' A mysterious force is collecting Alexes Mack -- and anyone nearby -- from all the universes that contributed heroines to ''[[The League of Extraordinary Women]]'', and havehas deposited them in the world of ''[[The Dresden Files]]''. WhyWho/what did it? And why?
