The next round of daft snippets from the housework meme. As last time, only the tiniest bit of actual shippiness in the Allo Allo one.

*cackles of laughter for the Brig and Liz*

And also for Maddy and Jonathan!

Thanks! :-)

And I said you chose well!

persiflage_1 July 20 2012, 06:03:22 UTC

Indeed you did! :D

OMG, these are the awesomest things ever! Even the Allo Allo one made me smile, and I've never seen that show in my life. I thought the Jonathan Creek one was especially brilliant, and not just because it made me remember how much I liked that show, either. But the Liz & the Brig one was a very close second. :)

Aw, thank you! :-) I do love Jonathan Creek, but as a rule, it's not a thing that's easy to write for, for several reasons, the main one being a plot that is complicated enough for Jonathan's mystery solving abilities. And if All Allo is written correctly it should always raise at least a smile.

Thanks. Heh. :-)

Those were great (well, the Jonathan Creek, DW and B7 ones, I don't know Allo, Allo). I laughed out loud at the end of the B7 one. Of course Dayna would try explosives on the waste disposal unit.

Thank you! And, yes, I grinned as soon as I got Tarrant/Dayna and that prompt. I just thought, hmm, what is Dayna most likely to try and blow up...?

Haaaaaa. I wish I had drabble inspiration - short, sharp satisfaction! I am too wordy for my own good.

Great stuff.

Thank you! I tend to get quite long, but I do like playing with drabbles and ficlets, too. And silly prompts always help! :-)

Specially trained Gestapo spiders! Hahahahahahaha!

lost_spook July 20 2012, 12:24:41 UTC

:-) I don't think it's entirely out of the question in that particular universe. Although maybe stretching things slightly. (I think Herr Flick would claim that they were specially trained, Gestapo spiders, anyway.)

daibhid_c July 20 2012, 21:09:23 UTC

It's a very Herr Flick line. It also reminded me of Igor in Carpe Jugulum with his box of spiders and his whip.

("The old Count liked my thpiderth. He uthed to thay 'good webth today, Igor'.")

:-) I had just been reading that recently. I'm sure it had stuck in my head somewhere...
