Sorry - it's just incoherence at discovering that Margaret Thatcher wrote fanfic. 'Yes Minister' fanfic.

It's absolutely dreadful, though not in a particularly interesting way (No slash, MPREG or anything like that - just economist bashing, and she gets Humphrey's degree crashingly wrong, so LOL NOOB. Also, it's not actually funny)†. But still. Thatcher. Fanfic. Fanfic. Thatcher.

I think my brain just broke.

†Proving that there's no justice in the world, it was actually made.

I know. There really are no words!

IAWT OMGWTF.

IAWT??

I agree with this [insert thing you agree with here].

Ah - thanks [lol n0ob!]

That was my opening to Bernard the Thesis. ^_^

(IIRC, the skit was actually written by Cabinet Secretary Sir Robin Butler and Press Secretary Bernard Ingham. But Thatcher still performed it, so does that make her the ultimate self-insert?)

:)

The website claims that Thatcher and Ingham wrote it, but you may well be right.

(Icon love!)

I will never ever ever feel guilty about writing fanfiction ever again.

But you're a lot better than Thatcher!

Bwuh? I have a vague recollection of them doing a somewhat strained skit on stage with Maggie, but I thought it was a Royal Variety Performance or something. Guess it must have been this. If she wrote it herself, that would explain a lot.

Of course, if Srs Ppl write it, it's Srs Bizness, not fanfic.

YouTube has a snippet, if you'd live a flavour of the ghastliness (from the news on the Beeb), and even namechecks Mary Whitehouse.

Thank you. That's mind-numbingly dreadful!

Maggie-Sue, the most frightening of them all!

Of course, if Srs Ppl write it, it's Srs Bizness, not fanfic.

"That's one of those irregular verbs, isn't it?"

*snerk* Why, yes, now you mention it. Yes it is. :)

How is it conjugated again?

I write self-reflexive hommage. You write derivative fan-fiction. He/she/they are Stealing Intellectual Property OMG(and are probably paedophiles as well).

Oh. My. Goodness.

I may never write again.

Brain. Hurts.
