Gakked from
cynthia_arrow. Questions and answers are behind the cut, as that's how this is supposed to work - list first, find out what you're listing second! So, limiting myself to legitimate fandoms of which I'm at least somewhat aware:
1. Alex Rousseau (Lost)
2. Rupert Giles (Buffy)
3. Luna Lovegood (HP)
4. Mohinder Suresh (Heroes)
5. Dana Scully (X-Files)
6. Mr. DiMartino (Daria - if that's really a fandom)
7. Mr. Eko (Lost)
8. Drusilla (Buffy)
9. Mad-Eye Moody (HP)
10. HRG Bennet (Heroes)
11. Aeryn Sun (Farscape)
12. The Haitian (Heroes)
Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? What subjects would they teach?
Oh, God! Aeryn is a little bit calmer in non-threatening situations than Mr. DiMartino, but if things got frustrating, she'd be likelier to open fire. I guess Mr. DiMartino, as he's already a teacher. Most likely U.S. history, since that's what he teaches.
Do you think 4 is hot? How hot?
God yes. Hot enough that I sometimes have to restrain myself from lewd behaviour in the presence of houseplants when I'm watching the show.
12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it and does it succeed?
Probably to retrieve a night-dwelling evil "special" who's immune to his mental powers. Unfortunately, Drusilla would eat him/her.
What is or would be 9's favorite book?
I'm not sure what wizards read for pleasure. If he likes Muggle books, I'd go with Moby-Dick. Although he's a hell of a lot cooler than Captain Ahab.
Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Haha! That's hilarious.
DiMartino to Giles, maybe. Kind of. I guess.
For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should 5 share a studio apartment with 9 or 10?
Oh wow. Moody could probably protect himself better from the evil forces that are always after Scully (and that cause collateral damage). On the other hand, she and HRG might get on each other's nerves less. If she didn't just get suspicious and shoot him first, anyway.
7, 2, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go and what do they discuss?
Undoubtedly they'd discuss the varieties and implications of the forms of bad mojo indigenous to western Africa and the eastern Caribbean. I think they'd eat in the demon bar. (You know, that would actually sort of work.)
3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Each one would be completely stymied by the other's abilities, resulting in a draw. The Haitian would walk away frustrated and disturbed; Luna would be serenely curious and speculative.
If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would 8 get it back?
Drusilla would forget about it when distracted by the stars, the sea, the moon, or dinner.
Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
Probably "Vow of Silence." (Oh, come on, you know I suck at titles.)
What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
The course of Mohinder's investigations leads him to the island (he's investigating "specials" in Polynesia, and his boat crashes). Alex nobly volunteers to get with Mohinder to prevent the following possibilities: 1) Her mother jumps him instead, then blows him up afterwards, just in case. 2) Jack gets with him, causing a science-brain dynamic duo that would annoy the island into mass suicide. 3) Kate, Sawyer, or Juliet jumps him, making the love polygon even more untenable and tedious. 3) Richard jumps him, thereby unfairly distributing the island's Eyelash Beauty Quotient between only two inhabitants. 4) Sun or Jin jumps him, causing the jilted spouse to kill both in a fit of jealousy (Sun cheats) or hatch a plot to poison them (Jin cheats). 5) Sayid gets with him, with Teh resulting Hott making the whole island catch on fire and explode. (Also, because Karl cheated on her with Claire and Desmond.)
If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Fine, actually. Although the vow of celibacy might be... frustrating. And the vow of silence, if he went for another one.
If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Brew me some Felix Felicis!
Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?
Not to my knowledge.
If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Giles? Probably Mohinder on general principal, although chivalry and conditioning might impel him toward Scully. And he'd find her hotter.
What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
"NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!"
Choose a song to represent 8.
Ah, Drusilla... so many possibilities. Maybe "Samson" (PJ Harvey), although I'm not quite sure why. It seems to be about a madwoman, anyway.
1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
Alex. DiMartino and the Haitian are prone to fits of chivalry.
What might be a good pickup line for 2 to use on 10?
"Shall we compare our experiences in working for shady organizations that wield immense, apparently otherworldly power?"
What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Scully? How many high-security facilities has she broken into, stolen from, and vandalized while using false identity?
What is 6's secret?
They're all canon, unless he wears a sparkly thong. Which I think we've seen he doesn't.
If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Depends. Luna can Apparate; Aeryn can starburst (or whatever they call it on Farscape; frankly, between the space-cowboy fandoms, I don't bother keeping track).
3 and 7 tell conflicting versions of events. Which is more reliable?
Eko. He's more grounded in reality, however weird reality might be.
1 (Alex) and 9 (Mad-Eye) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Mohinder's) sinister secret organization. 11 (Aeryn) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 (Aeryn) is actually a spy for 4 (Mohinder). Meanwhile, 4 (Mohinder) has kidnapped 12 (The Haitian) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Scully), they seek out 3 (Luna, who gives them what they need to complete their quest.
What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
You know, the scariest thing in this whole question is that the basic scenario actually kind of makes sense.
eonism,
veetvoojagig, and
slybrunette might read it if I concealed the summary and they'd been drinking heavily.
zelda_zee should definitely write it, with help from
halfdutch and their pets.
If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
Definitely with Mr. Eko. He'd just steal a loaf of bread if he got hungry.
