I remember I started this topic at the old board what does everyone about a Ray/Janine pairing if something didn't work out with Egon? I can see this in a AU universe. What is everyone's opinion on this?

http://ectozone.proboards31.com/index.c ... 1146445118It'd have to be heavily alternate universe. I just don't see it being very plausible based on the movies and RGB canon. I'm not directing this at you Farah, but it seems that most of the ones who come up with this stuff are Ray fans who go "Since he's my favorite I think he should be the one who gets the only girl in the series". Nevermind that Ray has one possible Canon love interest, Elaine Fuhrman, is also ripe for original characters (as Elaine only made one appearance early on and was never heard from again), and, oh yeah, Janine already has two canon love interests (one very popular one, one not) from the movies and RGB. Interestingly enough, though, I never see stories where Ray gets together with Dana, which to me is just as silly and implausible. It's like she's all but hands-off for non-canon pairings just because she wasn't in the cartoons?

When some of these Ray fangirls who write this they tend to write them together showing some disregard to already established love intrests. I tried writing a fic with Janine/Ray but it didn't work so I gave it up very quickly and even with a orginal character I tried. So I just gave it up on that too and I didn't want that character to be a Mary sue like some of the stories I had read. Plus I wanted to be very different from the Ray fangirls and write Ray/Elaine together. Sometimes I feel that they would bully me for doing so. I don't think that's fair at all. They tried to dictate to me what I can write and what I cannot.

Quote: Plus I wanted to be very different from the Ray fangirls and write Ray/Elaine together. Sometimes I feel that they would bully me for doing so. I don't think that's fair at all. They tried to dictate to me what I can write and what I cannot. Well within your rights. They have the right to not like the Ray/Elaine pairing, but not to tell you you can't do it in your own stories, in your own personal universe. I hate Egon/Mary Sue stories with a passion, but I will not tell anybody they can't do them (just that they can't do them and expect to be accepted into the GBOT universe canon) And as far as the earlier comment about "Since he's my favorite I think he should be the one who gets the only girl in the series" I do have to point out that plenty of Venkman fans, and even a Winston fan or two have done the same thing. (And this is leaving aside the stories of Janine with Ray, or Venkman, or ect. done by some of the Egon fans under the theory that Janine+Somebody Else leaves open Egon+Mary Sue. But that's better suited for discussion elsewhere...)

I still stand by my original comments in the old thread, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be interesting to see how something could have come up. Heck, who knows if the idea could work within continuity. Janine was different for a long time due to Makeoverus Lotsabucks, and then fell for Louis out of left field. Who knows exactly what she was truly feeling at certain points in the team's timeframe after realizing a relationship with Egon wouldn't have worked? Maybe she even saw past Ray's childish exterior and, wanting a surrogate Egon, decided to pursue him instead? Just an off-the wall idea of mine

That's why I prefer Ray/Elaine fics and the ones I'm writing about and Ray/Janine AU Fics. On the bright side, I do get comments on my fics on deviantart and most of the people there like them.
