The June Something - Day Eight

[smallhobbit]

No, Days Five to Seven don't exist, you haven't missed anything.

Day 8: Crack!fic - We all know it. What's your opinion of it, and if you want, show us an example.

I do like crack!fic and very happily write it.  In fact, at times I've been encouraged to write it brumeier I'm looking at you!  The Air Balloon Debate is written from the POV of a hot air balloon and features two parrots called Sherlock and John.

One caveat I have is that the crack!fic must conform to its own internal logic.  However, once that's fulfilled then the world is your oyster, or indeed a consultation by mirror Tigger Holmes and the Case of the Unexplained Soldier

Many of the works the Ferret is involved with could be termed crack: The Coat of Many Colours  And there's werewolf!Lucas, who loves parties: Lucas' Birthday Cake

Lastly, I do like a fic where the main characters end up as rabbits. As apparently do my readers, since this is my fourth most kudosed fic: Gandalf's Small Mistake

I enjoy all of your crack fic. The parrot one is a classic.

Thank you very much. The parrot one was such fun to write, especially since I could pull in so many tropes.

Your Crack!fic is always a treat and I enjoy catching up with ones I've missed along the way:)

Thank you very much :D

Crack fic is wonderful when it follows its own internal logic I agree (what a wonderful way of explaining it1).

[smallhobbit]

I think so - otherwise I find it loses its point.

You write it well, ma’am:-)

Thank you very much :)
