Top 5 QI Guests

[karaokegal]

1. 7/7/77-I was at camp and we were all caught up in the wonder of the numbers.
2. July 4, 1976. Bicentennial year. Boat flotilla in the Hudson River. Fire works. Bicentennial minutes.
3. Summer 1981-French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts. I was cast as Anne Frank's mother in the Diary of Anne Frank. There was a lot of misery that summmer too, but it was sort the high-light of my dreams of acting glory.
4. Early 80's. Cruising around with bff Jennifer, making up stories and singing to the radio at the top of our lungs.
5. July 2005-Trip to Vancouver/Victoria. Lots of great memories, but I think the best moment was having Afternoon Tea at the Fairmont Empress in Victoria.

If I had oodles of $$$$, Victoria would be a first choice for a second home. And it's a lovely name as well.

Top 5 canon slash (m/m and f/f) ships you actually like. Canon = actually happened in some way, not purely subtext or fanservice. Movies count like hell, single episodes too. But must be canon. ;-D Canon threesomes count but again, must have actually happened, not been implied.

[karaokegal]

Just to clarify-how exactly are we defining canon?
Which of the following would qualify?

Jack/Algy-Implied off-screen sex, but no on-screen contact (beyond the tushie tap.)
Jack/CJH-On screen kissing and hand-sex but clearly no consumation.
Jack/Capt. John-On screen kissing and implied previous sex.

[joanne_c]

Jack/Algy borderline... I wouldn't argue canonicity but would a casual viewer who might've missed those scenes? I think that's my level - if a casual viewer saw it, would they get it without having it explained?

Therefore Jack/Jack and Jack/John yes, Jack/Algy... like I said, borderline.

And I realise that is very subjective.

I've made this trickier for myself because I've never see The L-Word and I've only JUST started seeing any of QAF US, and so far I don't like anybody.

Brian/Maximillian-Cabaret
Jack/John-Torchwood
David/Keith-Six Feet Under
Matthew/Gareth-Four Weddings and a Funeral
Bianca/Lena-All My Children.
