Re: Spacebattles, I think you misunderstand. I chose to misunderstand your original statement. I figure that the members over the age of seven or so of all internet forums in the here and now can be considered as having counterparts on pre-landing Aldenata Earth. I also think that, given that the difference between the populations of pre and post war Aldenata Earth closely approximates thresh, attitude and so on and so forth is likely not a magic cure all.
The Aldenata may be still around.
It is in fact very easy to break the setting, and make it worse. If you deal with the Posleen/Darhel, and do not have a way to do the difficult job of changing Galactic society, you are stuck fighting off the Hedren with the resources Earth can muster on its own. Yes, Dahakverse tech can probably counter everything the Hedren have, except for the Evil Physics Rape, which might be a problem. The Galactics, especially with Michelle fostered amoung them, are the big key to the canon counter to Evil Physics Rape. If alterations cause a worse degree of preparedness for the Hedren, the Hedren likely win, making the setting worse. Then there is the polity known as 'The Enemy', which is chasing the Hedren.
For me, the core criteria for an Aldenata mod based around Earth include great capacity for secrecy, as you mention, significant intelligence on the galactic and Galactic situations, having the capacity to build significant counters, the ability to hold in reserve the counters that reveal presence until the Darhel organizational warfare can be survived, a reason to act, a reason why the problem wasn't already solved prior to the fanfic story, and most importantly, enough fun and quality to draw the reader in.
Given my understanding of my criteria, I think I know enough about over half of your suggestions to come to some conclusions. I admit to not knowing enough about twelve of them.
John Ringo is not the writer I follow the most avidly these days, but revisiting my memories to write these posts has reminded me how important his writing is to me.
I think we can agree that there is some good potential for Aldenata crossovers, even if our tastes may differ enough that we disagree over the way to do it best.
As for the subject of this thread, and for lack of ability to properly answer Sirrocco's question some space up, ZNT/Fairy Tail. I think Louise might be improved by the experience of being dropping into that world, and being a member of Fairy Tail for a time. I also think that, given recent events in Fairy Tail, there is emotional cause for at least a partial fix fic.
