Welcome to the Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti Appreciation Thread!

Credit: Ria

This is the place for the shippers of the best couple in Point Place, Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti. It's been over 7 seasons and Eric and Donna are still as sweet and endearing as ever. Eric may have left for Africa, but his heart will always be in Point Place, with the only girl he's ever loved. And now that Eric returned from Africa, and they kissed, we know that they are happily married with their red headed kids running around.

Thanks for the new thread!

MistyMountainHop · 08-12-2016, 06:32 AM

You're welcome!

Do you think Eric would want to name his and Donna's children Luke and Leia (assuming they have a boy and a girl), or would he be too traumatized b the Return of the Jedi revelation that Luke and Leia are siblings?

**msstock87** · 08-15-2016, 09:36 PM

I really hope Eric would not want to name his kids that, maybe because I have seen it in fanfiction too much!

Yeah.

Speaking of fanfic, do you think Eric ever wrote Star Wars fanfic?

**msstock87** · 08-16-2016, 10:01 PM

Oh I can see him maybe doing it in secret...then everybody found out.

MistyMountainHop · 08-17-2016, 07:56 AM

That would be hilarious. His friends would be merciless -- except for Fez, who'd pester Eric for the next chapter.

**msstock87** · 08-17-2016, 08:45 PM

I could totally see that being an episode.

MistyMountainHop · 08-18-2016, 07:26 AM

The Basement

Hyde: Forman, you're writing Star Wars stories?

Eric: No!

Fez [reading from the story]: "Eric Skywalker took out his blaster and--"

Donna: Hold on. Eric Skywalker?

Kelso [looking at the story]: Yeah, Eric, you misspelled Luke.

Eric: Okay. You've had your fun. Give the story back now.

Hyde [flipping through the story then laughing when he spots what he's been looking for]: "Eric Skywalker held Princess Donna in his arms. Princess Donna was so impressed by his heroism that she said, "I'm yours, Master Jedi. Use the Force--"

Donna [embarrassed]: Oh, God--

Fez: You should be honored, Donna. He could have kept Princess Leia in the story, but he replaced her with you.

Hyde: Actually ... [continues to read] "Don't you use the Force on that harlot!" The shout came from Princess Leia. She dashed inside Eric's private bed chambers and grabbed hold of Princess Donna's hair--"

Eric: Crap!

Eric manages to snatch the story back and flees the basement.

**msstock87** · 08-18-2016, 08:43 PM

I just saw that play out in my head. It could totally happen.

MistyMountainHop · 08-19-2016, 07:16 AM

Thanks!

Eric would totally write smut involving himself, Donna, and Princess Leia.

Donna's Diary Entry: #10

---

Tit For Tat

So today Eric wanted to take me to see Smokey and the Bandit again -- for the fourth time. Now you’d think I’d be tired of it, but the truth is I really like it (Burt Reynolds is so hot -- even if seeing him does remind me that Eric will never be able to grow a mustache). And even though I like the movie a lot, I’ve made sure not to tell Eric that I like it. That way, I can get him to go to movies he otherwise would never agree to go to, like Jules et Jim. That’s an old French movie we had to drive all the way to Kenosha to see. And it has subtitles. That would never have happened if I hadn’t "reluctantly" agreed to see the Bandit again. Pretty clever, huh?

Okay, so at first I felt a little bad about tricking him, but then I realized Eric was pulling the same thing. See, he pretended not to like Grease because it would make him look wimpy in front of Hyde and Kelso to admit that he thought it was even a little okay (Fez, of course, loved it. He even made us call him Sandy for a week). But then I caught Eric singing "Greased Lightning" as he washed the Vista Cruiser. And he knew all the words! And this on the same day I’d agreed to watch the completely boring Making of Star Wars special on TV with him if he’d go see Grease again.

So you see, he started this whole sneaky business in the first place (well, okay, technically I’d started it when I pretended I hated his Hot Wheels cars in order to get him to play dollhouse with me -- but we were only ten! And besides, I think he may have liked my dolls ‘cause they always seemed to disappear after he came by).

He would and that brings some disturbing images in my mind. I am not sure I want to know what he would come up with!
