With Mod approval, I bring you a quote roulette challenge dedicated to...

Douglas Adams! (Whom we, the world, lost too soon in 2001, had the same birthday as the discovery of the other DNA, and went backpacking in Europe and got drunk in a field after a confusing day involving a string of people from a blind and deaf convention (really), and had an idea, and "almost, but not quite, forgot about it." That idea? Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Don't panic.)

The rules: pick a number between one and fifty, use the quote as inspiration for a story of your choosing, in the fandom of your choice. You do not need to use the quote actually in the story, but if you can...
There is no deadline as the subject of our challenge loved deadlines, but he also loved the whizzing noise they made as they went by, according to Neil Gaiman.
Remember to keep to the TOS.

May I have 42???

All right, I have my trusty towel at the ready and a Babel fish in my ear, so...may I have #3?

 

Number 9 please

 

What a neat idea for a challenge!

I'll take #12 please

 

Honestly, I was laughing so, so hard at that, but Mira said it before I could. All PM's sent, so far.

 

*sigh* I thought of asking for 42 but @Kit' had sprinted to it. Then I planned on turning the figures around and decided to ask for 24 instead, but alas @Mira_Jade was there first.

So may I have #41 please? And don't tell anyone that I for a long long time believed that the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything" actually was 41 - some years after I read the book. So much for good memory...

 

I too have too many other challenge prompts outstanding, but this is such a cool idea, and I say there’s nothing wrong with having multiple prompts “in the pocket”! So I would like to ask for no. 50, please.

 

Posted my response to my prompt (finally).

Threshold staring Tara (OC) and Yoda

 

Well done and added to the index. (Also... they know this already, but all PM's sent.)

And as I did not trust myself to pick a number for myself (I know what these are, after all)... @devilinthedetails gave me the random number of #37

 

I have this story as response to the prompt it was only natural with Yoda, Fay and my Dunai elder characters

 

Since I'm in a writing mood, may I have #45?
