That's Not A Magic Mushroom.
Feb. 27th, 2006 06:58 pmLook! It's not a Fullmetal Alchemist rambling post!
How To Scare Your Daughter's Guest: Point at the mushroom depicted on her shirt, say 'That's not a magic mushroom!' and proceed to chase her around the room for five minutes, explaining exactly what the difference between the depicted mushroom and a magic mushroom is. I can't remember what the actual name of the depicted mushroom was, so I will make it up.
Riona's Father: No, that's not a magic mushroom, it's a Squigglicious mushroom. It is a hallucinogenic, but it'll put you into a coma.

reipan: ...I suppose you know this from experience.
Riona's Father: Yes, actually, I do. The Squigglicious mushrooms are red with white spots, and the gills look completely different, they're more spongy.
Rei: ...that's, uh, interesting.
Riona's Father: You can find Squigglicious mushrooms on the common, if you want.
Rei: ...okay...
Riona's Father: But don't eat them, because they'll send you into a coma.
Rei: I, uh, wasn't planning to.
Riona's Father: That's definitely not a magic mushroom, though.
Rei: I'll bear that in mind.
The fact that you misread the text on her shirt ('The Magic Forest') as 'The Magic Mushroom' is not an excuse. Even if it had said 'The Magic Mushroom', that would still have been creepy, Dad.
Anyway! I know that I haven't written the requests from the thirteenth, but I've been suffering from writer's block lately, and the great thing about one-sentence fics is that they're quick, they're fun to write, they're generally reasonably doable (unlessdraegonhawke has requested them) and they're pretty good at getting one past writer's block. Using 'pretty good' and 'one' in the same sentence creates a slightly bizarre collision of formality levels, it seems.
So!
Give me a character (or a pairing, or a non-romantic relationship, or a theory, or anything you like, really) from a fandom (er, preferably one that I'm familiar with. Crossover if you must), and a theme to go with it, and I'll write you a one sentence fic. Repeat as many times as you like.
