A/N: Okay, I was brainstorming ideas for a new fic and was coming up completely empty, so I gave up and watched History of the World: Part 1 instead. The genius of Mel Brooks inspired me to parody the Ten Commandments too. ("These 15...:crash:...10 Commandments.")
I hope nobody takes this out of context and thinks I'm making fun of God or anything. I'm Catholic and I go to parochial school - no way would I do that.
I will give you the tablets of stone, with the laws and commandments I have written for their instruction. Exodus 24:12
The Ten Commandments of CI fanfiction
I. Thou shalt make Bobby dance.
II. Thou shalt reference at least one VDO movie.
III. Thou shalt make Eames just snarky enough to be endearing.
IV. Thou shalt not make Mike sleazy, although thou may make him slightly womanizing.
V. Thou shalt eventually write a postep for "In the Wee Small Hours".
VI. Thou shalt make Bobby do that cute stuttering thing.
VII. Thou shalt write witty banter between partners.
VIII. Thou shalt insert Deakins when necessary to keep our four favorite detectives in line.
IX. Review unto others as you would have them review unto you.
X. Thou shalt work out all your BA and MC fantasies through fanfic, since Dick Wolf destroys all shipper dreams.
