Crack fic poll!

[Poll #1297857]

ETA: Since I chose the "one or more" option on the first question, I will explain here. The absolute insanity is a given, but the "normal situations handled in a weird way" answer can also be true. I think this is the case when the handling of the normal situations in a weird way causes the characters to go OCC. Or stupid. Yes, that.

I love crack!fic if the characters remain "in character". (I've written a fair amount . . .)

The challenge, and test, of good crack!fic is that everyone remains in character and acts accordingly, no matter how bizarre the situation (Hotch becomes a pencil, Reid has a side job as a hooker . . .).

There is a difference between stupid fic and crack fic. If you can write Hotch becomes a pencil and the pencil remains Hotchly then that is good crack. If it solves crimes and gives someone a Hotchalanche, that is even better. If Reid becomes the equivalent of a 15 year old girl and starts wailing and listening to My Chemical Romance, but without an actual transformation, then the fic becomes stupid.

Does that make any kind of sense?

Yes, it makes perfect sense, and I think I pretty much agree with that 100%.

Now someone has to write crime solving pencil!Hotch fic. That's all there is to it. :D

That sounds like a challenge. *g*

Ahahahaha! Well, you did write kitty!Reid, so I think you could pull it off! *nudges you*
