Random thoughts percolating through my head: a possible start to a story plot - What if everyone had a clone? (influences: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sclerotic_rings posting the Mary Sue Litmus test, which has the question "Does the character have a clone or identical twin?") Still needs a bit of development, but I suspect I'll end up writing a short story (handful of paragraphs) if the muse hits me enough at some point.
Idea fragments so far
NB: these are idea fragments, this is strictly a current brain dump, and some or all may be discarded before I write this (if I even do). I suspect![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
365tommorrows and my now reading of Iron Sunrise are helping this muse moment....
Oh, and I gained a new office-mate today. Aline Baggio, who's our resident French post-doc got shuffled. She has a small fridge she's just brought into the office, which means I'm probably going back to proper tea again :-)

- Neither yourself nor the other one know who's the clone
- Do they even live together, or are the two deliberately separated (post-apocalyptic society? or maybe post-post- and the policy is a throwback that no-one's gotten rid of yet)
- Possible abuses of the word "clone" - using it in standard context, but twist at the end revealing they're not actually clones
- Clones as mythological creatures (who says clone has to be same species? ref: previous point)
