You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section (examples: "5 Reasons Jayne Loves River" or "5 books that Bree Van de Kamp can read and read again forever " or "5 Pickup Lines That Worked for Sawyer"). Then, I'll post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Serious

Authority: five ways Jack didn't find out that Apollo and the Midnighter were a couple

Authority: five times Midnighter didn't do the whole solioloquy thing (you know: "I am what soldiers dream of becoming, and what children imagine Death...)

Good Omens: five ways they didn't stop the appocalypse.

Boy Meets Boy: five times Harley really hated his first name

Who: five ways Jack didn't get laid (however hard he tried)

Firefly: five things Wash did with his plastic dinosaurs
(okay, that one is faintly disturbing)

There you go, five six "five things" of which you can take your pick.

Firely: Five things Wash did with his plastic dinosaurs

[fan_elune]

4. "This game is anachronistic."

Wash looked up from playing with his dinosaurs, turned around in his pilot's chair to find River framed in the doorway. "Sheme?"

"They don't belong together," she developped, and stepped over the threshold.

Wash vaguely wondered if he shouldn't shoo her out of the cockpit, but decided he could well suffer Mal's wrath if the captain found out he hadn't. More like he could do with pushing Mal's buttons.

River pointed at one of them. "He's from the Jurassic, and she's from the Triassic, and he never even existed."

Wash looked down at his toys, back up at River. "How did you know Tracey was a she?" River shrugged, looking away at the switches lining the wall by his chair. Wash looked at her for a few seconds, then back down at his dinosaurs. Up at her with a tentative smile. "Wanna play with me? Anachronisms can be funRiver blinked at him. And then she beamed. After they had been playing for five minutes, she pushed at his knee with her hand, caught his eyes. "Your anachronisms. They make me feel a

That was great. *big grin of grinitude*

I loved number three and number five just made me *meep*

OT: parkour? Is that the right spelling? (thinking of Authority Jack and his jumping off buildings tendencies)

[fan_elune]

Hee! Yay! Sorry for the wordiness, but give me Wash and his dinosaurs and I just cannot write just a little, clearly.

And yes, that's the right spelling. I'd never even thought of associating him with that! But yes, yes, completely.

[buzzylittleb]

I am a wordy person. I cannot use one word when four would do nicely. :-)

I'm probably going to write a Quick And Dirty Guide to the Authority to go with the Jack and Jenny thing... so, that... well, I have one of the annual stories in tpb and there he spends the entire story parkour-ing, with the added fun of doors.

Jack Hawksmore does not like Cardiff.

[fan_elune]

Ha! No, I don't usually go for wordiness... depending on characters, really. Wash would get me far more wordy than Zoe.

Yeah, I read that story! "I run," right? Great one. Brilliantly written. Which, actually, somehow makes me think to ask - Midnighter remembering some of his past by opposition to Apollo and the others, is that canon? And if so where from, because I don't think I've read that?

Is it the time rift that's being all unpleasant? Or is she just not a nice city?

[buzzylittleb]

Wash would get much more wordy and occasionally come to being as opaque as River.

Yes, "I run" was fantastic. I'm not sure if it is canon; I got to the end of vol2, but haven't bought "human on the inside" or "coup d'etat". As a student, my comics budget only went so far.

Actually, it's more that Jack finds it small and uncomfortable.

[fan_elune]

Mmmriver. I love this character like crazy. She's the only one I don't mind having fly Serenity now that Wash is dead.

Oh, I hear you. I don't actually own any of them - I've borrowed the whole lot from a friend of mine. They actually got pushed at me as he went, "you'll see, there's a gay couple, they actually adopt a kid, you'll love it." And it turned out that I loved far more than the gay couple about it.

Ha! Good point. He's used to actual super-sized cities. ...now I wanna put him in Manchester just to see what he thinks. Which won't be much.

[buzzylittleb]

Oh, I hear you. I don't actually own any of them - I've borrowed the whole lot from a friend of mine. They actually got pushed at me...

I do this to RL friends all the time. I pushed the Authority at shadowkitty with "it has huge quantities of ultra-violence, you'll love it". Oh, and see if your friend has Planetary and is willing to poke it at you. Planetary is in the same "universe" as the Authority and is like a smarter conspiracy hunting sister. (Plus, Jenny and Elijah slept together in the 1930s and aren't telling anybody)

Hum, Manchester's still pretty big. I'd rather give him a Durham or a Canterbury (for eighteen years Canterbury was my idea of a city, it's not all that big). But then, you'd be missing all that fun with Canal Street, wouldn't you?

[fan_elune]

I will definitely ask after Planetary! For the moment, I just keep reading and rereading the four issues he left with me. *LOVES*

Precisely, yes. Jack should really experience Canal Street. ;) But I'd just love to know how he gets on with Manchester. Seeing as how I'm in love with it. Aaaanyway. For a while Reims - aka Canterbury's French twin city - was my idea of a city, so I hear you.

The Authority: Five ways Jack didn't find out that Apollo and the Midnighter were a couple

[buzzylittleb]

I was reading this and decided that number three was my favourite with Apollo's "on the ceiling" line, then I read no. 4 and decided that was my favourite, then I read no. 5... I think you get the idea.

*loves*

[fan_elune]

Thank you thank you thank you! So very relieved.

And any day now LJ is going to start sending me comment notifications for all the comments I get, right? Right.

[buzzylittleb]

LJ comment notification is always more fun than a barrel of monkeys, isn't it?

And when you think it works, they monkey around with it on purpose. *eyeroll*
