Okay, so I'm browsing stories and I see a lot of MR…I like MR, I think it's fabulous, but I found out that there's a pattern some (if not all) follow. This is my take on the storyline of a typical MR story…don't be offended if you write MR. This just popped in my head.

A Typical Mark/Roger Fic
(Some Stories May Vary)

Mark: I'm lonely and won't eat. Watch me starve into oblivion.

Roger: Where's Mimi? Oh right…(whispers) I'm secretly gay.

Mark: I'm secretly gay, too. Actually, I was gay all through Rent and only dated Maureen so we could both talk about being gay together. I'll just stare into your blue-green eyes while you tell me about the orgy at the Life Café.

Roger: …and then Angel came back in a magical silhouette and touched me in my privates and I liked it!

Mark: (sigh)

Roger: But I'm not gay.

Mark: Bummer.

Collins, Mimi: (die of AIDS)

FUNERAL, etc.

Mark: I'm leaving.

Roger: The pain is SO OVERWHELMING. (cries)

Mark: (comfort)

Mark, Roger: (make out)…(screw)…(screw again)…(and again).

Roger: Hmm…your scarf has such delicious ways of having me make love to you.

Mark: (giggles) I know.

Mark and Roger vacation in Europe, adopt a kid/MPreg themselves, and Roger dies a teary and quiet death from AIDS. THE END.
