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

Comments

Dude(s). I think my brain just exploded.

I think my comments can best be described thusly...

They had style. They had grace.
Rita Hayworth, gave good face.

Edited because I fail at spelling. It's a pity. But you must love me... :D

[icedteainthebag]

Of course I love you. And those were really fabulous comments.

[snoopy0917]

Oh good! Because I've been yearning, burning for you to justify my love.

[flamingo55]

Rita Hayworth was on the Olympic Carrier. Trufax.

Thank you so much - I'm so glad that you liked it! We had a blast writing.

wtf, Argentina!?
Best. Story. Evar.

ps. I think this means you're going to the special hell.
can I come too? xD

[icedteainthebag]

Frakkin' right, Argentina. Best little freighter there ever was.

YES. Everyone who would like to go to the special Hell with us can do so. The handbasket is big, and there are free drinks and chocolate and whatever flamingo55 would like to provide.

[flamingo55]

I'll bring cake and pie and other assorted goodies. Because we all know that hell serves only vegetables and brown rice, so we'd better eat real food while we can.

[icedteainthebag]

It's going to be an awesome trip down.

Have to say I never had 10 ear worms while reading a fanfic before. That's a first.

Some of my favorite moments:

he reminisced, recalling how the wild parrots flew across the sky as he and his bitch of an ex-wife sipped on margaritas in beach chairs

[icedteainthebag]

:I

You picked like, an even number of her lines and my lines. Win.

I was totally thinking of that Comic Con story you told me when I wrote that part about the screaming, jumping fangirls at the back of the wedding.

Oh, there shall be an encore.

Thanks for reading.

[flamingo55]

Yay! Not only did you pick an even number of our lines, you picked several where the actual sentence was co-written. Ossum.

And the Spain tribute HAD to be in there - how could it not?

We did have quite the amazing time writing this. So very glad you enjoyed reading it, too. (((TJ))

OK -- it's been done. Laura is happy.

Why should the rest of us even try???

I'll tell you one thing: It was good to read this tonight, right after I read the story about Bill digging Laura's grave and then laying down and waiting to die so they could fill it together.

It was like eating a pile of feathers after a pile of rocks.

[icedteainthebag]

BECAUSE!! This is not for the contest. :) There are so many ways to make Laura happy that don't involve Madonna or getting married.

It was like eating a pile of feathers after a pile of rocks.

BEST. REVIEW. EVER.

[flamingo55]

Why should you try? Because we want awesome stories to read, too. Perhaps, as icedteainthebag said, not even involving Madonna. (Though it is hard to imagine a BSG story without the Material Girl).

Thank you - I'm so glad you enjoyed the feathers. :)

[redrockcan]

Oh my gods that was great! Extra points for bringing in "Argentina" plus parachute pants and Bill's girth. I'm still at work so this was a nice ending to a loooooooooooooooooong day!! And yes I knew every song too!!

[icedteainthebag]

Thank you!! So happy you enjoyed this cracky little thing. It was much fun to write. :)

[flamingo55]

Thank you! It was a blast to write, and the comments have been a blast too. Glad to know we are not the only Madonna fangirls out there. :)
