the persistence of a warped vision

[lolmac]

Remember the improbable discussion from last weekend?  I'm still dreadfully tempted to write a dark!laundryfic.

As a Choose Your Own Adventure.

With reader input.

Anyone up for some crackishness?

I always died when I did Choose Your Own Adventures.

Therefore I am wary...

;-D (It sounds fun, although I suspect you don't intend to perpetrate dark!laundryfic involving Servalan, which is sad. I'll have to do my own washing writing.)

[lolmac]

Well, there might be room for crossover crack in there . . . I'm not sure what Mac's response to Servalan would be, but I can imagine her response to Mac. Something along the lines of "Scrub that one up and have him served for dessert."

As Oscar Wilde said: the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.

I think your choice is clear. *g*

[lolmac]

*g*

I can resist anything but temptation.

[sidlj]

He certainly had the right idea!

[damigella_314]

Seconded. I might even give it a try if you make it accessibke to the non-MacGivered.

[lothithil]

Do I get to dress in black? No bleach!! *g*

you can be the ninja

[lolmac]

Of course you can dress in black! Why not?

I'm up for a Choose Your Own Adventure, but only of Dark!Laundry!fic.Not the other stuff.

[lolmac]

Which other stuff do you mean? Crossover stuff?

[pitry]

other stuff = dark!laundryfic.

:D

(In other words, I'm making a very bad joke...).

[lolmac]

*g* Some hairs do split more finely than others.

We can definitely stay away from dark!Landry!fic. Does that help?

[dbskyler]

I'm already having way too much fun imagining the choices in a Choose Your Own Adventure dark!laundryfic.

* Fail to correctly separate darks from lights. You die!
* Put in too much soap. You die!
* Add bleach through habit. You die!
* Run out of quarters for the dryer. You die! Plus you leave your inheritors wet clothes.

I think the key to winning will have to revolve around the socks. The behavior of socks within a pile of laundry is one of Life's Unknown Mysteries.

[lolmac]

The nice thing about a MacGyver fic, even a dark!fic, is that the choices don't usually end in death, except for the villains, and not always even then. We can have some Sudden Hitchcockian Misadventures, though!

[pitry]

Or or or, perhaps we could also have some sort of odd dream sequence in lost-sock-land, a-la the Western episodes in MacGyver, just with... socks.

The behavior of socks within a pile of laundry is one of Life's Unknown Mysteries.

You mean their successful camouflage attempts? The way they manage to hide between your shirts so you can never find them? Their tendency of being eaten by the washing machine?
ALL OF THE ABOVE?! :(
