I'm reading the fics, in between writing (mostly SG-1) and editing (again, mostly SG-1). My first few Mac fics are coming soon, but I have been without internet for about a week, so...anyway...I'm back now! Reading more very soon, but all will be taking a break this weekend for the mighty Harry Potter!!!

My only access to the stories is at work so I don't respond, as I only have my break to read the stories.

Macschick, I hope you are going to finish your story Sunset in Tuscany

I will at some point. I just became stalled on that one, for some reason.

I'm reading them! Is anybody posting them? Rory

The posters are usually the writers.

Been a bit quiet the past few days in this area. Not all of us has time to write or post them. Actually MacsChick is about the only one who post regularly.

I sure try to. Believe it or not, I'm a little stuck right now. That's surprising for me, because I am usually prolific. Don't worry, though, I'll try to post a new story soon!

One of the main reasons I joined was to read the Fan-fic

Same for me! I was just going to hang out in the library and not bother anyone, but you lunatics lured me into becoming a member.

*looks around* She's talking about you Loth.

*in mock disbelief* Oh no, not Loth!

Yes, bring me your silly ones, your poor intellectuals,
Your befuddled masses yearning to have a mullet,
The maniacal MacGyver Fans, armed with SAKs
Bring Duct tape, and paperclips, gum-wrappers if you got 'em:
I lift my wooden match beside the hardware store!

MacGyver is the piper and we are...

... either the children or the rats-- I can't remember!

Haha...and I read the fics.

Can't it be a mix of both?

That’s why I first came on to MOL too. I found some MacGyver fiction here and came and read a few. Then I explored the forum and found that there was a bunch of crazy people there so I left never to be seen again!
No, actually this is the only forum I’m on and after being sucked in by some of the fan fiction and reading some of the banter I decided you were a mostly harmless bunch and felt brave enough to say hi .

*looks around*
She's talking about you Loth.

Oh, I don't think she's talking ONLY about me!

Not Exactly From Shakespeare's Henry V, 1598:
[paraphrased, with apologies to The Bard]

This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Members of M.O.L. shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world (or Thursday, whichever comes last),
But we in it shall be remember'd (for being a little bonkers);
We few, we happy few, we band of MacLunatics;
For s/he to-day that laughs and remembers MacGyver with me
Shall be my brother (or sister); be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed (or stretched out in their La-Z-boy in Kansas)
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their DVD collection cheap whiles any speaks of them
That played with us here in MacGyver On Line.

With only the most insincere apologies to Robert Browning – and you can find the original text here, stanza VI of The Pied Piper of Hamlin:

He lounged on the conference table:
“Pleased ta meet’cha!” he said. “I am able
With intelligence, chutzpah and charm, to solve
All problems encountered beneath the sun
Mechanical, chemical – all good fun,
Especially when duct tape is involved.
I chiefly use my charm
To distract the bad guys, whom I disarm:
I’ve dealt with moles and rats and diverse
Villainous types, and the name’s MacGyver.”

And here we noticed in his hand
All red and steel, a folding knife
With a little white logo from Alpine lands,
And blades and tools and attachments rife;
And his fingers, we noticed, were long and clever
As if in all of his life he never
Encountered a problem he couldn’t untangle
By looking at it from a different angle.

'Beth

'Beth, that poem is brilliance!

I doff my cap to you, sai!
