Okay, there has been a small amount of interest in my continuing the scenario I set up in my last little vignette. If this is truly the case, then I will consider writing more about Lois and the new world she will be forced to discover under one condition (Well actually two). Since it's basically Wendy's fault that I posted this in the first place, I think it only fair that she be the one to 'pay the tax' as it were. But she will not be singled out here. Since she and her 'good buddy' Kaethel are the founding members of the horrible TSTPLFGADH (The Society To Prevent Lois From Getting A Decent Haircut, or something like that), I think it only fair that Kaethel be included in this little proposition. Here's the deal. I'll unretire if... Wendy and Kaethel each (not collectively) include a short haircut for Lois in one of their stories. I'm not talking about a couple of sentence throw away either. The haircut experience can either be a positive or a negative one, but it has to be a significant element in the plotline. We, the gentle reader, need to experience the action and the consequences. We need to share in Lois' thought processes before, during, and after. It's not too much to ask... is it?  Tank the RETIRED (who figures he's pretty safe considering the aversion those two fabulous fic fashioners have to the preferred short-haired Lois)

Works for me, if it means that Tank will keep writing. So get yer shears out, ladies, or I'll get mine out  Melisma (giggling with glee and delight here under her Rock)

Wendy and Kaethel, if you don't take Tank up on this offer, we're going to hunt you down!  Hey, I have an idea! Why don't you make this a challenge, Tank? I'm sure lots of people would be willing to add a haircut to stories already in progress, or even write totally new ones about a haircut, if it'll get more stories out of you!

What is it with you Tank? You can't simply claim to be retired! You just can't! I've enjoyed all your fics so far, so yes, you should definately continue writing. And more of the Future series ain't that bad.
But this sounds like fun. Wendy and Kaethel writing is always good too, so I'll look forward to what they come up with. Even more: what will *they* say once they find this? <g>

Tank!!!!!!!!!! How could you?!  Kaethel (thinking about it  )
- I'm your partner. I'm your friend.
- Is that what we are?
- Oh, you know what? I don't know what we are. We kiss and then we never talk about it. We nearly die frozen in each other's arms, but we never talk about it, so no, I got no clue what we are.

Um...sounds like an excellent idea, Tank, but given the amount of fic you've posted since retiring, does unretiring mean we'd actually get less? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/eek3.gif) (Suspicious Rat who thinks this might be Tank's cunning plan to cut down on writing... )

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

Yay! More fic all round, hopefully. Wait til I go get him... Ok, here he is,  )

(Suspicious Rat who thinks this might be Tank's cunning plan to cut down on writing... ) Ack! You might be right! We need a contract or something, this Tank is a slippery fellow. In any case, the challenge sounds interesting, and I can't wait to see the stories that come out of this. Annie

When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.
