#0, Top Ten Rejected Mac Subplots
Posted by Redneck on Nov-26-01 at 02:04 AM

Well, sad to say, we've probably seen the most of Mac in any story we ever will. He's had his moment, and now he's going back to being a very industrious and focused, but otherwise ordinary, high school student.

He (or his meta-self, anyway) is fighting it every step of the way. It's almost like having a teenaged William Shatner in my head, suggesting all sorts of (usually bad) plot points and text in order to justify more screen time.

What follows is a list of the stinkiest of the ideas thus far. Some of these have already been fielded, and rejected, by the Powers that Might or Might Not Be. Others I stopped before they went that far. All of them, however, you can take this to the bank, all of them are about 0% probable for future occurrence in ANY UF fic. These just will NOT happen.

And now, direct from the home office in Flower Mound, TX...
