Mary, Peter, Asim, Eustace, Alligator Snapping Turtles, and Alligators.  anastigmatfic is magnificent and awesome and really you have to go read this right now.

Also moonshine, the Florida swamp, and a missing camera bag.  Though I am wondering what a pair of leopard-spotted Y-fronts are and I'm too scared to google it.

Your agenda of planting the anti-seed of Mary-looking-like-that-one-dryad-that-Peter-bonked to combat the common trope completely backfired.

Peter/Mary? Yep, count me in. She's a character who is attracted to the most magnificent of any species, after all.

[Inspired by both this comment and a passage in the referenced comment-fic]

The moonshine had been a mistake, at least in quantity. Peter had been useless all morning and had finally been forced to ask them to pull over at the side of the road. Having emptied his stomach behind a convenient tree, he was feeling much better. That is, until Mary walked out from the car and glanced at the recently soiled ground.

"Magnificent!", she proclaimed.

Eustace was unsuccessful in containing his laughter. At least neither of them attempted to take a sample for study.

BWAH! Fantastic!

[rthstewart]

Leaning against the cypress tree and waiting for the world to stop spinning was an excellent idea. Through eyes slitted against the sun, Peter saw a pair of beaten boots and pristine khakis

I think at some point, all of this comment fic needs to grouped together to make reading it a lot easier.

That said, has Mary learned the Secret then, if Peter is comparing moonshine to Faun wine, Lightning and Centaur liquor? Or has she just attributed these mentions to Peter being rather ill at this point?

I think at some point, all of this comment fic needs to grouped together to make reading it a lot easier.

Yes, alas, the nature of comment fic is that it ends up all over the place. Anastigmatfic and I can pool the combo entries and then start a whole new round of galloping into the sunset speculative comment fic. Though, we now have part A, the camels and the trip home here, Part B, the swamp in Ana's LJ, and with H. and my own contributions, the aftermath, here in Part D. So we now will have to see what lady_songsmith does. I'm terrified those leopard spotted thingys Min found (and no, I did not click on the link) are going to end up in there, thereby triggering my full no visuals filter.

That said, has Mary learned the Secret then, if Peter is comparing moonshine to Faun wine, Lightning and Centaur liquor? Or has she just attributed these mentions to Peter being rather ill at this point?The idea came to me in the middle of the night after reading H.'s entry and I almost got up and added it. In short, I have no idea. Does Mary know? Who told her?

[snitchnipped]

Have already established that Peter is in desperate need of a visit to a laundry, so...

[snitchnipped]

"How was the peyote ceremony?" Peter sipped on a fantastic pure blue agave tequila. He now understood why the Mexicans disdained the "mixo" popular in the States, and resolved to lobby for a visit to Jalisco

[snitchnipped]

I decided to go with the notion that Mary has found out something, although Peter's reminiscing could be obscured easily enough. I wanted to come up with something involving Eustace and Dragons, but the actual peyote ceremonies, to the extent that I could read up on them in the last hour, did not sound like they would work for that. So this has less silly visual punch line. Perhaps Mary locates some peyote on her own later and she and Eustace try a larger dose? Bah. I have to go to work and be responsible.

I thought you said you couldn't/didn't write? this is awesome!!! I just love the affinity with the tequila... blue agave... yummmm and the aside about diplomatic relations! Also, I want you to remember that fortuitous comment about Centaur-sized wine skin

bowing to the inevitable

[h_dash_h]

Hello, "H" here. I figure if I'm going to be wrting comment-fic drabbles I'm well past the point at which I should just open an account specifically for fic-related activities. "h" and "dash_h" (since I normally signed "-H") were taken, so "h_dash_h" it is.

So... to date I have not written fic. However, once I read snitchnipped's comment

Peter/Mary? Yep, count me in. She's a character who is attracted to the most magnificent of any species, after all.immediately after reading the reference to the moonshine, the "Magnificent!" drabble hit me over the head and absolutely demanded to be written down. That almost never happens to me, and I have usually squelched it on the rare times that it does. However, this whole community is far too much fun, and I've been trying not to squelch that sort of impulse these days. And anyway, the proximity of Peter, a hangover (with the likelihood of vomit) and Mary simply required it. Not owl vomit, but really, there's no way she could resist

And he researches!!! Oh it is a madness and a disease. I'll never tell a soul. Truly, this is just delightful. Comment fic can get a bit disjointed, but it's such fun. And oh gosh, I'm going to start gushing about fandom goodness. On a more serious note, when I was going through some fannish angst, one reader, Miniver, had said that if nothing else, writing is obviously a pleasure and an outlet for my creativity that I needed. And this is it, precisely. Apart from the communities that develop, there is, inherently, the joy of creating and that ability to muzzle the censor and put it out there for fun. So, I hope you enjoy that process. And if you are writing 100,000 word epics on A03 in a year, I won't say "I was there at the beginning."

Re: bowing to the inevitable

[snitchnipped]

Oh, and I was there, too. And I stumbled into the NFE, writing the first piece of fiction in over ten years.

And just this week, I found myself stumbling into an unintentional sequel to the NFE I wrote. Eeeeeps. The bug, the bug, I has it!! And I've no one to talk to about it until the reveals are posted!

I am delighted to hear this and cannot wait to see what you come up with!

You get right on that! But she gave him Polly's home remedy!
