Is the ninth chevron the spin cycle?

[moonlettuce]

*grin* No matter what I've just been talking to temaris about, I shall not write the 'Stargate as a washing machine' fic. And if I do, it's entirely Tem's fault for starting the conversation with the immortal words:

"Do you think the Stargate has a spin cycle?"

I shall not write about McKay having to go into the wormhole and fix it because the underwire from Weir's bra comes loose and gets stuck in the fixtures. I shall not write about how someone leaves a sock in there and the Stargate starts to leak. I shall not write about how all the washing comes out with a pink tinge because Sheppard's red thong gets put in with the uniforms by accident.

Bwahahaha! OK, well if you're not going to *someone* has to!

It would be funny as hell to attempt, but I'm really bad at humour. Although, I still wanna read it *grin*

[ngaio]

Maybe you can convince someone at Connotations!

Well, if I pimp a fandom and pairing this year, it's definitely going to be Atlantis and McShep. Hopefully I'll get more people with me than I did last time. (Of course, considering I was pimping Tremors the series and Tyler/El Blanco, that's not going to be difficult *grin*)

Can you pimp me any fics in Atlantis fandom? I read SG1 but as I don't actually follow the show I've not allowed myself to be diverted into Atlantis so far (tho' why, when I look at my fic reading compared to what show's I've actually *seen* I have no idea!).

It sounds like the sort of thing Xocoquetal(?) (you know, I can't spell her name, not ever!) would write.

My best bet is tp point you here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/moonlettuce/153889.html?thread=694561#t694561), since these are the recs I just gave to mandragora1 *grin*

As for my Tyler/El Blanco fixation. I am, indeed, a lonely fandom of one *grin*

[ngaio]

I don't even know who Tyler and El Blanco *are*!

*g*

And forgetting to remove coins from their pockets and McKay has to turn it off at the Naqada generator and go rummaging inside to fish them out, and they end up with wormhole *everywhere*.

And the original question was slightly more serious -- where *do* they get their clean laundry from? I still want to know *g*.

I still say they've discovered the Ancients' utility room *grin*

Oh, you will. Or I'll come over there and make you.

I need a slashy Atlantis icon, even though I watched 'The Eye' last night and hated it. ;-)

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Hee. It would be funny, wouldn't it.

Hmm...

And yes, you need to get a slashy Atlantis icon. For the Atlantis lurve must be spread :-D

Considering that first sentence was enough to have me rolling on the floor, yes, you will write it. *nods*

And what do you mean, *a* sock gets left there? It's common knowledge that *all* socks passing through the Stargate disappear. They could ask Daniel, I'm sure he has a very longwinded theory on that.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

lol! Step through the Stargate, lose your socks.

"These boots are chaffing," Sheppard complained.

"Well Fords and I both told you to always carry a spare pair of socks in your pack," replied McKay. "It's not our fault you didn't believe us."

"I'm meant to be stepping through a wormhole to another planet, not a giant sock-stealing monster!"

McKay just rolled his eyes and pulled a second spare pair of socks from his pack. "Here." He held them out to Sheppard, grinning at the look on John's face. Oh yeah, he was *so* gettin' some tonight.
