the joy of living in a fannish household

Mar 25, 2012 10:58

This morning, my partner was getting ready to go get her hair cut, while I started on the laundry.

“What laundry are you doing first?”

“I figured I’d start with the dark laundry.”

She replied, with a suitable level of deep gravitas: “Why isn’t there any dark!laundryfic?”

I suppressed my giggles enough to say, “Well, I don’t usually write darkfic - that ( Read more... )

dark!laundry!fic!, nonsense, crack, overblown metaphors, macgyver, writing

I sort of want to read a bad!fic version of your interpretation of someone else's probable dark!laundry Macfic. And by sort of I mean REALLY

O, thou temptress.

I'm playing with the idea of writing it as a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure . . .

Is your partner an X-Files fan? I swear, even XF fluffy fan fiction has a dark undertone.

I can envision SG-1 dark!laundry fic where Sam & Rodney perform experiments with a massive, miles-long super collider in deep space to see if they can uncover the mysteries of dark matter, and where Cam accidentally loses his pants. Again.

Nope, not X-Files.

And I totally want to read the SG-1/SGA darkmatter!laundryfic!

I'd totally read this fic. darklaundry!fic, not dark!laundryfic.

Although, since we have Ikea porn, I'm now starting to wonder about other possibilities.

:lol:

Knowing my tendencies, you'll probably be unsurprised to think that dark!laundryfic to me suggests the possibility of something involving a misprogramming with Avon's outfits. It's probably Orac's fault. (Or Vila's so that he never has to do the laundry again and can shove it off onto Cally next time.) I'm sure with B7 there could be suitably bleak and dark stuff going on alongside it. Or, on a different tack, Servalan murdering her launderer for not getting the blood off her white outfits?

Fannish nonsense is indeed always lovely.

Blake's 7 has excellent fodder for dark!laundryfic. Maybe that's why Servalan eventually abandoned the white and just wore black.

Yes. I mean, I thought Avon first, but the possibility for literal and not even cracky dark!laundry fic is just there with Servalan; it makes total sense.

And, yes, that could explain it. Black is more practical, in the end, even if the white was just amazing.
