B7 Crackficathon story: Wishful Thinking

Here's my Blake's 7 crackficathon story. Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] astrogirl2 for her excellent beta-reading.

Wishful Thinking

We were allowed to pick freely from a mind-bogglingly bizarre set of requests. The one I chose was #36, which I won't quote to avoid spoilerage.

Good stuff - and appluase to Jenna for knowing what she wants, she wants to get the right way :)

Thank you! I'm glad I got something finished; it was a fun ficathon.

Hurrah! You've outdone yourself, which is indeed saying much. Plenty of laugh-out-loud things here amid the spot-on character behavior. Although I'm sort of surprised Avon didn't have a back-up wish list just in case something like this happened.

And I'm glad nobody asked for a World Without Sin!

I doubt it would occur to any of that lot. ;-)

Avon had already mentioned Vila's name so he was a bit stuck, and also thrown by what he'd almost done to him. And besides, I rather liked the paradoxical request.

Thank you very much!

Heck, I'm still chuckling over this from having beta'd it yesterday. :)

:-) I'm glad it worked.

Oh, this is funny. Blake is cutely annoyed as a genie, and Avon's attempts to keep him in the bottle are almost serious, and Gan is the only one with a practical, doable wish. Poor Tarrant!

:)

Yes, Gan's the only one who actually got something out of it, probably because he set his sights so low; good old Gan. I'm glad you liked it. ;-)

Hilarious, yet utterly in character! I love the Justin bit--he does drink, pardon me, drink quite a lot of it.

Thank you! You've improved a bad day no end. :-) Yes, I chose Justin [shudder] because A&S seems to be his tipple.

*howls* Oh, that's lovely! So very very funny! I loved where the wishes came fomr!

:-D I find humour so much easier to write than more serious stuff.

You're so good at it, too.
