I have committed fic! I blame winkingstar!

[fish_echo]

Various people on my flist have been having a bad week. In my original plan this was gonna be a short crack-fic inspired by comments over here that would perk us up. But as I've started writing it wants to grow into something bigger. Still crack, but it also wants to be a team-fic showing team-bonds. And hijinks quite possibly will ensue

Comments

Random comment fic...

Hehehehe... ^_^

Gate Team 5 stared at the towel racks for a long thoughtful moment, abandoned by their native guide who had not quite ditched them in the middle of an alien jungle. An alien jungle that apparently knew how to accessorize.

"What do you suppose he meant by 'explosive growth'?"

Several fun-filled hours later they mastered the art of telling dead-and-thus-safely-inert seedpods from attractively-packaged-leafy-green-bundles-of-death. Actually, Matt had mastered the art of setting-off-explosions-from-a-distance-with-inappropriate-amounts-of-amusement, and Amy was working on poking-things-with-a-very-long-stick, in the hopes of securing a pinecone containing screws and not squirrels. Or whatever they were calling the bright orange rodents with a taste for metal and a nasty possessive streak. (Gate Team 5 had learned to stop suggesting names for wildlife in their mission reports, it just made Sam sigh heavily and pull out her red pen.)

Yay random comment fic! This is exactly the sorts of things that are supposed to happen in this 'verse :) I love pretty much every bit of this :)

Errrm, that was me. Dunno why LJ didn't believe it.

Ahahaha!!! :D Mmm, I love the taste of crack in the morning. (Er, midday. Whatever.) I love how Ronon is totally serious about the hunting and capturing, and John is not-so-secretly gleeful. Yay team! This is an excellent start! *waits for more antics-possibly-including-hijinks* :D

I really hope my bed doesn't collapse on me, causing me to sneeze and hit my head on my knees. *eyes it suspiciously*

Thank you for the laugh! ♥

[fish_echo]

Hehehehee! There is definitely more coming :)

You're welcome, and thank you!

*dies*

[fish_echo]

Hehehee! Thanks!

I *needed* some reason to have them not worry about the wraith and I couldn't come up with anything. And then I remembered-- crackfic! -- and then it was easy :)

[adafrog]

bwaa hahahaha Lots of fun, thanks.

[fish_echo]

Thank you!

[taste_is_sweet]

I did read it! :)

I thought it was definitely cute and inventive. But I have to admit I really hate the idea of any kind of hunting. The ideas of all those animals being killed for someone's convenience just makes me sad. :(

[fish_echo]

Thanks for following me over here :) cute and inventive Thanks!

I'm honoured you read it despite not liking hunting! And much as I do appreciate comments, if hunting bothers you, feel free to not read anything else I post on this story. I don't want to make people sad with what is supposed to be a pick-me-up funny story.

I've thought about trying to pass them off as really mobile vegetables (but I'm not sure how well that would work).... And I will admit to stealing some inspiration from Douglas Adams and his mattresses which grew in some sort of swamp. (I seem to recall lots of flopping around to try to see over some fog?)

[taste_is_sweet]

I don't remember swamp mattresses myself, but it's been a long time since I've read Mr. Adams. That's fine inspiration, though. :)

I appreciate your not minding if I don't read more of this. But I would be perfectly happy with highly mobile vegetation! :D

[fish_echo]

I've been toying with adding emphasis to the vegetable aspect... Which, honestly, has a lot to do with the fact that there's no space for a brain in a cupboard, and that's bugging me! *facepalm of fail* Sometimes I fail at the crack aspect.... But somehow I'm less annoyed by highly mobile veg cupboards than I am by brainless cupboards... On the other hand, I'm confused on why a mobile carrot would be in herds.... Well, presumably I'll figure it out at some point. And I'll note in the header for it if there's animal hunting or just vegs. But in the meantime, let's pretend that these are odd sorts of rutabagas and no animals were harmed.
