Yesterday in work, the bosses were all out, so we sat painting our nails, reading magazines and er...talking politics. Was asked if I was going to vote Labour, said I wasn't and was then asked why.

Ten minutes later, my colleague frowned. "Becky, you're just so cynical." It's telling that I took this as a compliment, but feh.

I was watching Doctor Who tonight, that nice all-round family show of old. At one point, an evil dalek (huzzah!) escaped from a secret US base and decided to plug itself in for a nice recharge, taking all the electricity from Utah. Or something.

"Not just that," gasped Dr. Who, "it's downloaded the entire internet! It now knows everything!"

"Ha, yes!" I said, before I could bite the words back, "it can put all those Orlando Bloom slashfics to good use!"

"A what fic?" asked my mum.

"Er...nothing."

I dunno. The idea of a dalek wheeling around screaming "SPERMINATE" just tickles me somehow. Less cynical than just sick. >:)

Daleks and Vogons must be the only two races in the universe who don't see red at Mary Sues, then. Except maybe Mary herself, who will of course have as much sense as the Dalek has feeling.

Well I think there will have to be a UN Commission set up to investigate fan.fiction.net with its greating steaming piles of the stuff stored there for posterity. What is the half-life of toxic MS fic, I wonder? They should have to declare that site and its contents as a potential Weapon of Mass Destruction of Mental Health (WMDMH). But then Dubya and Blair would send off hit squads to eliminate the producers of these toxic materials, just in case the Daleks invade.

Horrible to see all those starry-eyed pubescent girls wiped out or sent to Guantanomo to sit and contemplate their offences. Could you imagine the total combined brain power well, maybe not so much brain power as weirded out fan-girrrrl power in one part of the planet. Their guards would demand that they be released as they whined for their PCs so they could continue on with the Greatest Romantic-est Fic in the Universe! Wheeeee! But no wipe them out I say, better for the health of the Planet Earth.

But if they must perish, they'll be Tragic Heroines, and you know how Marys feel about Dying Tragically, Surrounded by Flowers and Weeping Men. *Shudder*

Aaargh! I've created the story-line for Mary-Sue tragic death sequence. I must go and shoot myself!
