two memes
The Fanfiction Love Meme is running and my name and fandoms are over here.
Per their guide:
instructions/rules;
* comment with your username and the fandoms you write for.
* people will comment telling you what their favorite fic by you is, what character/pairing they think you write best, and other positive comments. they can also mention what they think you should write more of, or anything else concerning what they like about your writing.
* pimp it it to your journal and/or writing comms.
* this is a love meme. so no wank, no insults.
Let me know if you throw your hat in the ring, hmm?
And then there's the Character/Song meme, which I am hereby starting. If you have a song that you suspect you will always associate with a certain character, well, why not tell the rest of us? Maybe even with lyrics, or a link to the lyrics, so we can all go look for ourselves. Here are some of mine, in no particular order.
due South:
Benton Fraser: Stan Rogers, "Northwest Passage" (With much thanks to
commodorified for catching my name error!)
"Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage / And make a Northwest Passage to the sea."
Highlander:
Methos: Dead Can Dance, "The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove" & the Police, "Murder By Numbers"
"I thought that I knew it all / I'd seen all the signs before. / I thought that you were the one / In darkness my heart was won."
"Because murder is like anything you take to / It's a habit-forming need for more and more"
James Horton: Kenny Loggins, "Angry Eyes"
"You want to believe that I am not the same as you"
Any immortal who's ever faced a challenge: Red Ryder, "Lunatic Fringe"
"We can hear you coming - no, you're not going to win this time"
Duncan MacLeod: Bobby Darin, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, et al. "Mack the Knife" (Really, this is Killa's fault, but er, yeah.)
"Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear / And it shows them pearly white / Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe / And he keeps it out of sight."
Richie Ryan: Peter Gabriel, "Solsbury Hill"
"My heart going boom boom boom / 'Hey'" I said 'You can keep my things, / They've come to take me home.'"
X-Files:
Alex Krycek: Chess soundtrack "Nobody's Side," and some days Phil Collins, "I Don't Care Anymore"
"No lover's ever faithful / No contract truly signed / There's nothing certain left to know / And now the cracks begin to show!"
"We never played by the same rules anyway."
Fox Mulder: just now, Jefferson Airplane, "White Rabbit" because this is the man who loves to stick his fingers in the goo to see what it's made of.
"When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go / and you've just had some kind of mushroom and your mind is moving slow"
Of course, by morning, I'll probably have more of these, especially once I start looking at iTunes for ideas...
Anyway, that 10 characters/15 words meme tomorrow, I think, and yes, KickA, I owe you some data. Sorry, dear, the holidays ate my life for a little while there, but I have the books next to the desk for the morning. Night, all!
