I don't have the actual chat anymore, but this is paraphrased from a discussion this morning with elismor:



Me: Really need to find something to kill space slugs. They're probably silicon-based. Need something that will destroy silicon.

Elis: Um, you're writing a crack fic.

Me: Yes, but it'd still be nice to have believable details.

Elis: Crack. Fic.

Me: Details!

Elis: Okay. Acid?

Me: But what kind of acid? Plus I was kinda hoping they could all be killed with squirt bottles.

Elis: ...

Me: You're yelling, "get out of my Doctor Who fandom" at your monitor right now, aren't you?

Elis: No, but I'm thinking it loudly.

Yeah, I ended up making some shit up after doing a little reading and figuring out that silicon really won't let you make a slug. Even a space slug. The X-Files was full of shit. Although that was a phallic asparagus instead of a slug...

Salt. Good ol' Sodium Chloride. That usually kills slugs.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I thought about that, but it seemed too easy. Plus it had to be a problem for a little bit. But I *did* mention salt!

"Can't we just throw salt on them?"

"Close. Any by 'close,' I mean not really. Not at all."

[fiona-conn.livejournal.com]

Ah.

Hydrochloric acid, then.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I think I'm gonna make something up. Thanks, though!

Ah, the joys of sci-fi. :D

[fiona-conn.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Okay. XD

It's so fun to cheat!

I TOLD her to use acid.

But Ms. I'm-Writing-the Perfect-Crack-Fic wasn't satisifed with THAT.

*Chuckles* Poor dear. I feel for you.

*Gives you a hug*

Yes, but then everyone would have to spend time getting into hazmat gear and Jack would *never* wear anything that bulky...

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

And then everyone would have to get *out* of the hazmat gear, have decontamination showers... Although Jack *would* be all for that.

I seem to remember my uncle using beer to kill slugs...

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

*snickers*

Elis mentioned that as well. She really is going to need therapy from my fic.

[debs7.livejournal.com]

Oh god how I love you.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]
