A very useful poll

[sholio]

I was reading about a Bermuda Triangle shipwreck tonight, and it occurred to me that:

a) It would be fun to write something set in or around the Bermuda Triangle.
b) It would work about equally well for any of the various set of characters hanging out in my head right now.

And so ... a very useful and important poll.

The best part is, they'd all be there for a different, completely bananas reason.

Team SSR: WWII ghost ship and/or weird coded radio signals, probably.

Team Torchwood: ALIENS.

Danny & Ward: If you're looking for a portal to another dimension, where else would you end up?

WWII GHOST SHIP OMG YES

[glorious_spoon]

RIGHT????

God I really want to read that now.

[kore]

An Allied ship they have to rescue! OR, Peggy having to figure out how to punch spectral Nazis.

-- No, no, AND Peggy somehow punching out spectral Nazis.

[sholio]

Spectral Nazi skeletons gnawing on Jack's face.

(Peggy takes him to THE WORST PLACES.)

[kore]

LOL YES poor Jack sorry we love to see you in pain, Jack

[glorious_spoon]

I REALIZE YOU'RE JOKING but I suddenly want this entire fic with Jack getting dragged into the depths of some ghost ship that might not even technically exist and then they have to get him back and OH NO now they're trapped

I vote spectral Nazi submarine. [edit] I realize my subconscious went straight for ripping off Black Sea (2014), but I just want to see Peggy punch some sunken abomination of fringe science in the face with a fistful of gold bars.

This sounds 1000% in character.

[sholio]

This ENTIRELY sounds like a thing that would happen to them and now I want it too. :D

[booksarelife]

I really want this too!!

[glorious_spoon]

YES all of the above is perfect :D

[st_aurafina]

Danny and Ward would be a comedic disaster. Ward's probably sailed recreationally? In little yachts? And I am pretty sure Kun Lun is landlocked.

[sholio]

And I am pretty sure Kun Lun is landlocked.

I doubt that would stop them. XD

"It's not an island, Danny, it wasn't the last time and it's not going to be now!"

"YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW THAT!"

That's a good point about the yachting experience. He probably thinks this makes him entirely qualified to pilot a small boat in open ocean. (It doesn't.)

WARD MEACHUM, DISASTER YACHTSMAN.

[sholio]

YES

I WANT TO WRITE THIS NOW

[sovay]

I WANT TO WRITE THIS NOW

GOOD BECAUSE I WANT TO READ IT.

[lilacsigil]

I just feel that Peggy, Daniel and Jack are the only ones likely to come back resembling themselves when they went in.

[sholio]

This is really an excellent point and you are 100% right.

[booksarelife]

Agreed

[trobadora]

With Team Torchwood, it's equally likely Jack has a charming anecdote about that one time he went there and met this really cute alien ... :D

[sholio]

Hahahahaha. Of course he does!

[melannen]

The Bermuda Triangle XF episode has always made me associate BT with the swing era. (...hey, if you borrow the plot of the XF episode you could easily do both of them at once...)

[sholio]

Yeah, the nice thing about the Bermuda Triangle (fiction version) is that the answer could easily be "all of the above."

[kore]

I remember all the great camerawork in that ep!

[sovay]

Most likely to get lost in the Bermuda Triangle?

Honestly, I suspect all of them, I'm just most invested in seeing what happens to Danny and Ward.

[sholio]

Possibly me too, I cannot lie. If only for the comedic factor when someone has to come rescue them from some random island somewhere.

[kore]

I actually think Team Torchwood and then Team Rand/Ward are the most likely in that order to get Triangle'd, but I cheated and chose Team SSR because they're my faves /o\

[sholio]

LOL, I think you're right about the approximate order of getting lost, though. The thing about Team SSR is that they're actually competent. XD

[kore]

LOL YES. Altho Misty and Colleen could rescue Danny and Ward!

(WHERE is my DoD series, Netflix)

[michelel72]

I'm just laughing that as soon as I saw "most likely to get lost" I immediately reacted with "well, Torchwood, obviously ..." :p

[booksarelife]

So I feel like Danny and Ward are more likely to than the AC crew (I haven’t seen Torchwood), but I also really want to see the AC OT3 in the Bermuda Triangle because you know the bickering would be amazing

[aelfgyfu_mead]

Confession: I'm not sure Peggy, Daniel, and Jack are really the most likely to get there (Torchwood might have a slight edge, except they usually stay very close to home), but they're the ones I like best in your stories. (Not that I'd complain about a Torchwood story!)
