Prologue


OK, this isn’t a prologue. It’s more like a “heads up” and I think you ought to read it.

This tale, told in 6 parts is, if I do say so myself, really wacky. It’s not just from left field. This tale comes from a place that’s waaay beyond the zip code of the ballpark most JAG fanfiction plays in. My muse brought it back from her holiday vacation (heavens knows where she went to pick this up!) and as much as I tried, I couldn’t help myself. I had to write it.

That said, if you’re willing to take a wild ride with our favorite couple, I give you this admittedly bizarre story.

A BIG CAVEAT: Understanding this ditty and “getting” its humor depends entirely on the reader having a solid knowledge base of American pop culture of the ‘60’s-’70’s. If you’re a Baby Boomer, this one’s for you. If, on the other hand, you get halfway through the first part and find yourself more perplexed than amused, I suggest you find a different story to read with my apologies for not connecting with you. (Here’s a good test: if you don’t know who Barney Fife or Boris and Natasha are, skip this story.)

Because this story is so far out of the usual realm of JAG fanfic, I didn’t want to make anyone else an accomplice to my “crime” if that’s how it’s perceived. No beta-readers, all errors are mine, and I’m the only one to ride out of cyber-town on a rail if that’s the reaction.

Placing this story in the JAG timeline is kinda tough...but midseason 7 post ‘JAG-A-Thon’ and prior to ‘Head to Toe’ works for me but there are a few references that scramble that timeline. Hey, this whole story is scrambled, so I figure a few inconsistencies are OK.

Of course, I don’t own them, only play with them and nobody’s making any money off this attempt at lightening the reader’s day. I only hope I succeeded.

Finally, I’ve made a few references to members of the DJE/JAG fan world in this story. They’re referred to with joy, laughter and respect, in honor of all that they do for us. They know who they are, and I’ll bet most of you recognize them as well. My heartfelt thanks to all three of you for your tireless support of what is an admitedly strange hobby! Let’s keep LOL together!
