The story had me at

Started reading now. It's highly rated, so I'm expecting it to be at least amusing.

I read it on recommendation from one of these threads. It was amusing, but I've enjoyed others of the author's stories more - the Potter/Firefly crossover Browncoat, Green Eyes, for all that the premise sounds dumb, was excellent.

ABC was certainly funny as hell. (I actually reread it last night, after making the above post, hence the upgrade from "amusing"). The David Monroe plot element that's so often mentioned in these threads though seems entirely tacked-on. I disliked that feeling of the plot starting 2/3 of the way through.
