You might have missed part of the fox_las prompt but I think that's not such a bad thing! This was quirky and funny and thoroughly enjoyable! Worth getting out of bed on a Sunday morning for!

It does all seem ridiculous on paper; or a computer screen, anyway! Yet it all seemed perfectly logical as it was being played out on screen. A few hot blokes didn't hurt, of course...I'm so shallow!

Love it, sweetheart! :)

So glad you enjoyed it!

I actually wrote the entire first draft of it, and it was mostly done, and then I thought, "I should check whether AUs are allowed for this challenge round" and D'OH!!

Too bad, too, because this was the first idea that came to me with Fox shows and that prompt. ;)

But lots of fun anyway, regardless! :D

Now that you mention it. At least as far as the first season goes, I'm glad the people the idea was pitched to didn't pass on it.

:D Me too!

Even though the show's premise was pretty much crack, it was fascinating crack!

And even in RL, there are situations where if you could stand back from your own life and see it in a detached way, you'd say, "I'd never do that! I'm not crazy!"

But in the heat of the moment, when it feels like everything that matters is riding on that choice... you find yourself along for the ride anyway. :0

Hee! Even when they're (unknowningly) mocking themselves, they're still themselves. ;)

And Veronica got a better deal out of it this time around, too. ;)

The things TV shows can do to our suspension of disbelief when we let ourselves be caught in a story... *g*
Funny ficlet. Thanks for writing!

I know! It sounds ridiculous on paper, but then you watch S1 and it sucks you right on in. :)

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading!
