There should be more archaeology humor in fanfic...

[lukon_idein]

So I have been reading some fanfic again - OMG - kicking around in various fandoms that catch my fickle fancy, and I read one that made me laugh my ass off!! Ok, so it wasn't supposed to be funny, but it set up a situation that my twisted mind would have had a LOT of fun writing up if it weren't so plagued with writer's block

Ah ha ha ha ha, yes, that is hilarious!

Hehe, I hoped you would enjoy it!! Thanks! :D I told Brad about it last night, and he added "What is the color for soil mixed with blood? It was a 10YR 4/6, but now... somebody get the Munsell!" Nerd archaeologists unite!!!!

*Dies laughing* I would totally read your version of events.

Awesome! Thanks!! Although now I've given all the best bits away - like those previews where the only good jokes in the movie are all there in one 30 second clip. :)

[lil_1337]

Yes, but reading it in fic is different from reading highlights. Context is everything.

Well, it looks like you've got a fic to write there missie.

Awwwww, I don't want to have to dea plot and character and setting (grumble, grumble), just the funny. *sweatdrop* Thanks for the encouragement, though! If I had any filmmaking skillz (and enough archaeology friends willing to dig a bunch of random pits), I'd totally make a youtube video version of it. :)
