"You got your momma's taste but you got my mouth"
My life gets so boring when there's no school/work. I should be writing like a maniac and yet, instead, memes. And disturbed sleep patterns. I could just blame hormones for all of this actually. I'll be better in a week, and possibly employed. Well, that one is unlikely. But I may have caught up with all my TV! (Done with Ugly Betty, two left on Bones, two on SPN, and all of Lost, Grey's, House and VM to do. It's really lucky I have nowhere to be...)
Anyway, memes from raedbard:
Pick 12 characters you like, and then answer the questions below the cut about them. Obviously first choose your characters before you see the questions.
1. Sam Seaborn (The West Wing)
2. Jack Harkness (DW/TW)
3. Alex Karev (Grey’s Anatomy)
4. Dr. Temperance Brennan (Bones)
5. Willow Rosenberg (Buffy)
6. Simon Tam (Firefly/Serenity)
7. Kara Thrace (BSG)
8. Monica Geller (Friends)
9. Sam Winchester (SPN)
10. Tim Riggins (FNL)
11. Harry Dresden (The Dresden Files)
12. Rodney McKay (SGA)
1. Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic (Simon Tam/Harry Dresden)? Do you want to?
No, I haven’t, though now I am of course pondering it. I think Harry would want to rescue Simon (&River) more than he’d want to sleep with him, but actually he’s a little like Mal that way, and that’s my OTP… Hmm… how to get a wizard into the future…
2. Do you think Four (Dr. Temperance Brennan) is hot? How hot?
Really, incredibly, incredibly hot. In either a dress or a labcoat. She has phenomenal eyes.
3. What would happen if Twelve (Rodney McKay) got Eight (Monica Geller) pregnant?
Well, Monica would probably be happy enough. Rodney would throw money at her if it was his problem, and otherwise would just yell and run away. But genius and blue-eye genes, I don’t see Monica caring too much.
4. Can you recommend any fic(s) about Nine (Sam Winchester)?
Umm… probably? He’s kinda an important character. But I read more J2 than I do SPN, because I haven’t got over my incest squick yet.
5. Would Two (Jack Harkness) and Six (Simon Tam) make a good couple?
*g* If I could answer this question I would no longer owe mi_guida a fic! But yeah, I think they would, for a given value of couple. The only person I can see Jack sticking around with is the Doctor, but I think he’d be good for Simon. He’s proven to get people out of their shells.
6. Five/Nine (Willow Rosenberg/Sam Winchester) or Five/Ten (Willow Rosenberg/Tim Riggins)? Why?
Willow/Sam, which someone has probably written? Willow and Sam would understand each other, and the worlds the other lives in (even if they have different rules for killing stuff!). They get inner darkness and all that jazz. Tim’s from a little town in Texas and cares about Jason, football, and Lyla, in that order. I don’t see him being terribly open-minded so far as magic goes. Though early season Willow is a little like an unpopular version of Lyla, so I’m still kinda tempted.
7. What would happen if Seven (Kara Thrace) walked in on Two (Jack Harkness) and Twelve (Rodney McKay) having sex?
I really don’t think she’d care that much. Well, it’s conceivable she’d be interested in Jack, so she might want in, but I don’t see Rodney being her type. She’d say something suitably embarassing and make Rodney yelp and fall off the rack. And then close the door again. She might mock later.
8. Make up a summary for a Three/Ten (Alex Karev/Tim Riggins) fic.
I can’t even do this for stories that exist! It would be about broken boys screwed over by their fathers.
9. Is there such a thing as One/Eight (Sam Seaborn/Monica Geller) fluff?
I think this would defeat even fannish law, sorry. It would be cute though.
10. Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve (Kara Thrace/Rodney McKay) hurt/comfort fic.
Did I not just say that Kara would not be interested in Rodney? Hmm… “Icarus also flew” (“I believe Icarus was not failing as he fell,
but just coming to the end of his triumph” - Failing and Flying, Jack Gilbert)
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four (Brennan) to deflower One (Sam)?
Alcohol? These are not two characters who know how to pick someone up in a bar. Though they are in the same city! Okay, in a bar. Sam trips up and knocks into Brennan, spilling crime-scene photos everywhere. He gets curious, buys her a drink, she lures him in with discussions of atheism and anthopological trivia. What? Sam likes trivia!
12. Does anyone on your friends list read Seven (Kara) slash?
Not sure, but it seems at least possible? Kara doesn’t get a whole lot of slash that I know of, but there must be some, surely
13. Does anyone on your friends list read Three (Alex) het?
Hmm… Probably not. I don’t even read Alex het. Well, a little at some point in a threesome, but that doesn’t count.
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven (Harry Dresden)?
Not that I know of. If you’re there, though, do tell me!
15. Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five (Jack Harkness/Brennan/Willow)?
*g* Again, do tell me. Seems unlikely, given the clash of fandoms, but there’s actually more Bones/Jossverse cross than you would think, with DB’s presence.
16. What might Ten (Tim) scream at a moment of great passion?
Probably mostly swearing. Or Lyla. Regardless of whether the young woman in his bed was in fact Ms Garrity.
17. If you wrote a song-fic about Eight (Monica), which song would you choose?
Ack. Something romantic, probably. Of songs in my iTunes, maybe "I know him by heart", for the pre-Chandler years.
18. If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve (Sam/Simon/Rodney) fic, what would the warnings be?
Time-travel, awkwardness, clashing of geniuses. Bonding over child-prodigy status. Very blue-eyed sex.
19. What might be a good pick-up line for Two (Jack) to use on Ten (Tim)?
I suspect Jack would make some innuendo about football ;) A good pick-up line would probably be “Hey, kid, want me to buy you a drink?”
20. When was the last time you read a fic about Five (Willow)?
Probably been a few months. I haven’t read much Buffy since I stopped reading Buffy/Spike obsessively.
21. What is Six's (Simon) super-sekrit kink?
I have to assume bondage/blindfolding in some way.
22. Would Eleven (Harry) shag Nine (Sam Winchester)? Drunk or sober?
Yup. Assuming that I can assume Harry isn’t bothered by slash, he’d do it sober. Sam would ping his saviour complex too. (Unless Sam was taller than him, because I don’t think Harry’s very used to being towered over!)
23. If Three (Alex) and Seven (Kara) get together, who tops?
Kara :) That would be some heated sex.
24. "One (Sam Seaborn) and Nine (Sam Winchester) are in a happy relationship until Nine (Sam W) suddenly runs off with Four (Brennan). One (Sam S), broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven (Harry) and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve (Rodney), then follows the wise advice of Five (Willow) and finds true love with Three (Alex)."
Eeep. Alex is so very far from Sam’s true love. Willow’s slipping.
25. What title would you give this fic?
The number one reason not to date someone with the same name.
26. How would you feel if Seven/Eight (Kara/Monica) was canon?
That sitcoms were a lot edgier than I assumed? Main character in mainstream sitcom in lesbian relationship with hard drinking/smoking/sexing pilot? Pretty as all get out, but would probably stop Friends becoming a ten-season hit, sadly. It wouldn’t change Galactica at all ;) (Except it would be Monica being fan-hated, I guess, rather than Sam and Dee)

Meme the second:
Comment to this post with an offer to write in any fandom that you or I have in common. I will answer with a prompt. Then, you will write me comment-fic, snippets, or whatever comes to mind. Now go post this in your own journal and demand fic of your very own! Make your flist work! You had a long week and you DESERVE it, dammit!
*And none of this BS from non-writers or newbies about having nothing to offer. Repeat to yourselves: I am a good person. I deserve the fiction of my choice. Gosh darn it, people like me. I shall reap the benefits of fandom.
