Holiday! Celebrate! a Happy Laura Crackfic

[flamingo55]

Have you started writing your entry for Challenge #8, Make Laura Happy with a Holiday yet? No? Well, go read The Contest Rules right now, and think of an idea.

We'll wait.

Based on a comment thread that got a little out of hand, icedteainthebag and flamingo55 decided to make good on their threat promise to write a fic based on Madonna's "Holiday". As it's not

Hell. In a hand basket. A frakkin' pimped out hand basket.

Join us?

Who are you kidding? I'm driving.

[flamingo55]

I'm in! I hope it's a big handbasket. :)

Oh, this is the good crack. This is, like, heronion-crack.

DYING, here. There's just so much crazy awesome to process that I'm gonna have to read this a few more times.

You two are touched in the head, I think, and it fucking rocks.

[icedteainthebag]

We are completely touched in the head. More like whomped in the head.

Hope you enjoy your re-reads as much as your first read. I know, I know. We were striving for realism. I hope you felt it.

[aka_plynn]

Each re-read was funnier than the last. I have to stop, though, because my face hurts. (TWSS)

Bookmarking the shit out of this.

[flamingo55]

Crack? What? We were going for realism. Oh well. Failed again. :)

We are definitely touched in the head, or smashed in the head. Or maybe just smashed, idek.

Thank you so much - I'm thrilled that you want to read it over again. Hope you enjoy the others, too. And that your face stopped hurting, LOL.

OMG, so many wonderful cracky observations. I totally suck when it comes to lyrics, though I did recognize quite a few of these, but I laughed so hard through this thing.

This is where I totally lost it:

Laura was left staring after him as he ran for the hatch. She called out to him, reminding him that he was still naked. He thanked her, and put his clothes on.

The matter-of-fact, cracky tone is perfect.

[icedteainthebag]

So happy we made you laugh. That makes me grin. ((((Anne))))

I feel like I was working with a real master of crack here. I was simultaneously awestruck and horrified at what I saw every time I refreshed the Google doc.

(((you))) again because I probably just triggered some horrible Google doc memories for you.

[somadanne]

LOL--awestruck and horrified, I can just imagine!

I've made total peace with Google docs--I know how to tame them now, at least once I get the text into Word, lol.

master of crack

Can I put that on my resume?

[pandj1958]

This had me in stitches. You guys are the best for posting this, totally cheered me up.

[icedteainthebag]

I love that it did. *hugs* and love. I hope you keep feeling better.

[flamingo55]

Thanks, and I'm glad we cheered you up! You did the same for me with your comment. :)

[treeofstars]

One word - EPIC.

A total Ray of Light in my otherwise boring day. ;)

[whatever_lj]

It was a little jarring to read this after reading your story!

[treeofstars]

LMAO! definite opposite sides of the spectrum. The fic I am working on right now is a happy one, and I am contemplating doing one for the happy holiday challenge. Hopefully I got all the darkness out with that first one!

[icedteainthebag]

Bwahahaaaaa.... oh, you.

I think that's the second time I've said that to you today.

Welcome to fandom, where the crack flows like milk and honey in the promise land.
