You'd need a break after 15,000 words in three days, too
Choose twelve characters from your fandoms, then answer the questions. Do not look at the questions beforehand. Completely, totally, utterly the fault of lazaefair.
1. Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars)
2. Logan Echolls (Veronica Mars)
3. Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)
4. Dean Winchester (Supernatural)
5. Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie (Veronica Mars)
6. Rupert Giles (Buffy)
7. Sam Winchester (Supernatural)
8. Fred Weasley (Harry Potter)
9. Cordelia Chase (Buffy, Angel)
10. Alex Karev (Grey's Anatomy)
11. Keith Mars (Veronica Mars)
12. Eric Weiss (Alias)
1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11 ? What subjects would they teach ? (Rupert Giles, Keith Mars)
Giles already is a professor, but Keith Mars could totally take over at Hearst for Hank Landry if he wanted to. So... demonology and criminology. If they were both at the same university, do you think they'd meet for tea?
2. Do you think 4 is hot ? How hot ? (Dean Winchester)
Ho buddy. *fans self*
3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed ? (Eric Weiss, Fred Weasley)
Following rabid zombies and the hunt for Rambaldi, Weiss isn't all that surprised to find out wizards actually exist. The CIA joins forces with the Order of the Phoenix to halt Draco Malfoy from resurrecting the Dark Wizard Voldemort ten years after the Great War. Fred Weasley is sent to Muggle London on Guy Fawkes Day to create an exploding distraction at Parliament while his brother sets protection wards on the Prime Minister. The mission is a success, but Fred gets stuck in Muggle prison for a few days before he can figure out how to Apparate out.
4. What is or would be 9’s favorite book ? (Cordelia Chase)
Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series.
5. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around ? (Logan Echolls, Rupert Giles)
I don't believe Rupert Giles would swear allegiance to anyone but Buffy, but Logan could probably be convinced if Veronica were in danger and he imagined Giles, leading the Scoobies, was the only one capable of saving her.
6. For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10 ? (Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie, Cordelia Chase, Alex Karev)
Heh. Since Mac and Cordelia would kill each out, I'll go with Alex. He'd drive her nuts when he was home, but he works long enough hours at Seattle Grace to keep him out of her hair.
7. 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss ? (Logan Echolls, Sam Winchester, Eric Weiss)
They land in an utter dive, drinking beer, eating wings and complaining about women. Logan drinks himself into a stupor over Veronica, while Sam and Weiss reminisce about Jess/Nadia. (Logan pops in occasionally with slurred memories of Lilly.) Hilarity ensues when the three start betting on a game of pool, and later darts. The night ends with Sam and Logan arguing whether to put their tab on Hilda Burkowitz's credit card or Logan's AmEx. Weiss has to be helped out by his younger cohorts.
To echo lazefair, oh god, plotbunny.
8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens ? (Hermione Granger, Alex Karev)
Karev doesn't have a second to reach for his scalpel before Hermione has him in a full-body bind. Game, set, match.
9. If 1 stole 8’s most precious possession, how would he get it back ? (Veronica Mars, Fred Weasley)
In a game of international blackmail, Veronica steals Fred's latest prototype for 3W - an elixir to prolong pleasure. She's a Muggle; Fred figures no problem. But he gets more than he bargained for when a simple "Accio" charm goes awry, summoning a tiny blonde sure to help him get over Angelina.
My fingers burn just typing that response.
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire. (Sam Winchester, Eric Weiss)
I've only seen half of Supernatural season two, at which point what Sam wants most is to not become whatever the yellow-eyed demon wants him to. Weiss wants... a chance at normality? (Why do I love this minor character from Alias so?) So I'll settle for the common ground they discussed while at the bar with Logan - their mutual loss of girlfriends. The fic, of the resurrection-parody variety, would be entitled "Last Kiss."
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together ? (Dean Winchester, Veronica Mars)
Uh... would it be wrong of me to admit this idea has been floating around in my brain since I read the July challenge at vm_library? Shady dealings of the supernatural variety would bring the two to the same motel, of course. What happens after that, you'll just have to wait and see...
12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along ? (Sam Winchester)
According to Claire, he'd arrive, declaring my house was haunted, only by "my house," he'd mean, "my bed." The only way to take care of it would be an ancient Pagan sex ritual. If this is the case, I hope by the God and Goddess that he and Dean aren't fighting, so they're standing together on my doorstep, and I get my choice of Winchester brother to perform it with.
13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be ? (Hermione Granger)
Don't date Ron. Just... don't.
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11 ? (Keith Mars)
I only have a handful of friends, but if any of them did write much, it'd be hard to write a VM fic without the patriarch of the Mars family.
15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be ? (Logan Echolls, Dean Winchester, Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie)
Mac, no question. How cute were they bantering in the food court?
16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle ? (Alex Karev)
"VAGINA SQUAD!"
17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose ? (Fred Weasley)
Oooh, that's tough. But has anyone else ever imagined him doing drunken karaoke to "Cupid's Chokehold" (Gym Class Heroes)? That song always reminds me of how I write Fred/Angelina.
18. 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 ? (Veronica Mars, Rupert Giles, Eric Weiss)
Veronica. She's small and probably managed to slip her tiny, chopstick-bearing hand in under the other two's. Even if she didn't, she'd pout and get whoever grabbed it to surrender it. Not that it would matter - she'd still be hungry, forcing them out for ice cream right after.
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10 ? (Logan Echolls, Alex Karev)
First of all, Logan would have to be really drunk, somehow managing to lose both Sam and Weiss at the bar. He'd also have to mistake Karev for a petite blonde, which would make him too drunk to stand, sit or form words. So. To sum up. Not gonna happen.
20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for ? (Cindy "Mac" Mackenzi)
Aiding and abetting (meaning Veronica's been charged with something much worse). I know, I know, some kind of technological misstep seems more probably, but really, would Mac ever get caught?
21. What is 6’s secret ? (Rupert Giles)
Either hidden resentment for Buffy or well-masked feelings for her.
22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first ? (Keith Mars, Cordelia Chase)
Keith Mars. Cordelia wouldn't even make it out of the house by the time he arrived. She may have grown as a person on Angel, but there's no way she'd step foot outside before reapplying.
23. Between 7 & 3, who would most likely become your friend ? (Sam Winchester, Hermione Granger)
Hermione. We're pretty much the same person as is, though we'd probably end up competing at all the same things and killing one another.
24. 1 (Veronica Mars) and 9 (Cordelia Chase) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4 (Dean Winchester)'s sinister secret organization. 11 (Keith Mars) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 (Eric Weiss) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie), they seek out 3 (Hermione Granger), 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.
The only person who would dare tackle this one is lazaefair, if only because I arched my eyebrow in challenge. I'd read it, of course, and I could probably persuade earth2mars and jayiin to take a chance on the lovely roommate, if only because I felt bad that no one else was commenting on something clearly my fault. I would call it in as a personal favor.
25. If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8 ? (Sam Winchester, Fred Weasley)
I think it'd be a toss up. Either would do an adequate job of protecting me. Sam would just use physical force, while Fred would rely on wacky hijenks. At any rate, I'd make it home in once piece, and probably invite whoever had just provided knight-in-shining-armor services in for a drink.
