watersword has written me a Mexico ficlet for my birthday--Sands angst, go check it out (edit: but be warned that it's friendslocked).

And yea! I've finally figured out what an evil villain could do in the Yukon in 1899-1900--sabotage the White Pass and Yukon Railroad, which was still in the process of being built then. The WPaY Railroad is damn cool, too. It's an international civil engineering landmark, like the Panama canal, and one of its bridges used to be the highest cantilevered bridge in the world.

It's just that now I have this intense desire to have Snidely Whiplash tie someone down across the tracks, despite the fact that Snidely and Dudley Do-right do not belong in this plot-bunny. Maybe I can work a railroad tracks scene in anyway.

Also, I have the song "Particle Man" stuck on "repeat" in my head, and it's all permetaform's fault.
