I've been trying to read Lost fic and I keep coming up with really bad stuff. Although if I could keep myself away from fanfiction.net I'd have a better chance at finding the good stuff.

FF.net has the 5 years after the accident, when the survivors are rescued 10 years later, how will they adapt kind of stuff. A common theme is that the survivors kids won't know anything about radios, tvs, cars, --nothing about what they are, look like, how they work adn I think tha'ts just unrealistic because I think all the adults would tell them what was going on.

But that kind of fic started me thinking about what they would do for clothes in 10 years, or shoes, or things like that.

Well, if the Magic Island Monster hasn't eaten them all.

Easy! Grass skirts. Or, Amazing Practical Sun will have pounded flax into fabric and they will all be wearing natural-color culottes.

they will all be wearing natural-color culottes.

Pshaw. Once her out-of-season fast-growing garden is all ready for plucking, combined with the handy seafood skills of her husband, they'll have a fun array of colours at their disposal.

Fish-skin leathers.

International couture smugglers

I think I would pay cash money to see Sawyer wiggling himself into couture. Because, let's be honest, the couture smugglers only smuggle one collection at a time, and the odds are it will all be chick clothes made of sparkly pink leather and ostrich plumes.

I'm thinking nudity will be become the norm, because by then they'll all be used to each other.

Or maybe I just want to think about Jack, Sayid, and Sawyer naked.

They could make leather clothes out of the boars.

Also, cloth is pretty durable. Things from the suitcases that they've set aside, that aren't needed now, could easily become new! clothes when they're desparate. And it's not like there won't be time for hand-sewing.

(Unless they burned all the suitcases from dead people. In which case, stoopid.)

Honestly, I don't *want* the show to be all about the realities of surviving on an island. That's what Survivor is, and I've never felt the urge to watch it.

I watched Survivor until it became apparent that wasn't what it was about.

So we're both disappointed?
