The Passing-On of Knowledge

[chomiji]

It is good to hand down the important things in life to the next generation.

I just introduced The Young Lady to They Fight Crime.

(The impulse was inspired, I should add, by oyceter's recent book review.)

He's a time-tossed drug-addicted gentleman spy who hangs with the wrong crowd. She's a violent punk research scientist who hides her beauty behind a pair of thick-framed spectacles. They fight crime!

He's a bookish Jewish romance novelist who hides his scarred face behind a mask. She's a provocative junkie advertising executive with the soul of a mighty warrior. They fight crime!

I love it.

I might have to write the second one!

[chomiji]

I'd read it!

She's a fan! And meets him at a book signing! Enemies of Literature break into the store and attempt to rob it, and his being threatened brings out her Inner Hector! And he is Andromache! Or something! Why so many exclamation points! Even my icon!

Hee hee, that was one of the first WWW toys I ever saw, back in the late 1990s when the Web was new and shiny. It's had some slight facelifts since then, and I think they've added some new bits over the years, but it's the same old charmer it has been since the get-go.

I think that the most enchantingly deeply wrong character I ever saw come up was a mermaid with a flamethrower ... .

This site is too funny.

He's a suicidal bohemian assassin on a search for his missing sister. She's a virginal wisecracking hooker from the wrong side of the tracks. They fight crime!

Hmm. Does that sound like an AU for anyone we know? :D

[chomiji]

It sure does!!!

So does this one: He's an immortal gay paranormal investigator who must take medication to keep him sane. She's a pregnant psychic mechanic with the power to bend men's minds. They fight crime!.

Ooh, I like that! (Although my brain is doing mental somersaults trying to figure out "psychic mechanic". ...Yesterday I ran across "vegetarian barbarian", too).

Thanks for posting the link. :D
