(no subject)

May 15, 2006 08:45

fannish meme thing ... fairly old, but I just came upon it again while rummaging through random journals, and I can't fall asleep yet. anyway, you pick 12 characters from different fandoms and then answer the questions behind the cut that go "if character #blahblah did blank, OMG what then?". alright? alright. here we go (I'm just using two people per fandom, I think)

1) Mulder
2) Scully
3) Tim Burton
4) Danny Elfman
5) Spike
6) Angel
7) Spock
8) Dr McCoy (Trek not X-Men)
9) Jeeves
10) Bertie Wooster
11) House
12) Wilson


1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 (Angel) or 11 (House)? What subjects would they teach?
House would be a bitchy and capricious teacher, but Angel's kind of an idiot, so probably House (he's canonically at least an engaging professor - in "Three Stories", all those students were all "teacher teacher tell us the story about your gimpy leg some more!"). House would obviously teach diagnostics, and Angel ... advanced brooding? demon whomping? Buffy banging? I don't know.

2. Do you think 4 (Danny Elfman) is hot? How hot?
this is a very time-sensitive one ... 20 years ago, this is a huge gigantic "YES!", but now it's the kind of hot where he's hot because he's him, not because of real objective hotness anymore.

3. 12 (Wilson) sends 8 (McCoy) on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
... well, it might involve giving his cancer patients some 23rd century style healing, and McCoy might be all "prime directive!" and House would poke his head in and be all "I saw 'Voyage Home', go stuff those patients with dialysis pills". and then he wouldn't go away until Wilson either requested McCoy do something outside his stated profession, or until one of the patients expired. "Say 'dammit, Jim!' again!" "House, this is supposed to be MY mission!" "but dammit, Jimmy - you're a doctor, not a mission-giver!" "argh!!!"

4. What is or would be 9's (Jeeve's) favorite book?
canonically he's pretty fond of philosophy - Spinoza and a whole host of Russians, so probably one of those. or perhaps his own work, "The Big Book of Pwning Woosters".

5. Would it make more sense for 2 (Scully) to swear fealty to 6 (Angel), or the other way around?
definately the other way around. Angel is a total sucker for tiny ass-kickers.

6. For some reason, 5 (Spike) is looking for a roommate. Should he share a studio apartment with 9 (Jeeves) or with 10 (Bertie)?
well, I guess for the sake of the memey thing we'll pretend that he wouldn't be getting both anyway ... hm. well, it would be much more dangerous for Bertie than Jeeves (who would not only recognise that he's a vampire but trick him into never biting him and dressing better). A vampirized Bertie would also be 1930s-boy Harmony, which might possibly annoy Spike to death. Vampirized Jeeves would take over the world, or at least serve it blood in the classiest way possible.

7. 2 (Scully), 7 (Spock) and 12 (Wilson) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
well, in the alternate universe I so very want to happen, Scully has decided to resume doctoring in her post-FBI life, and is doing it at Princeton-Plainsboro (and doing Cuddy as well). anyway, it would be kind of like in "Voyage Home" where Kirk's hitting on 7th Heaven Whale Lady, except Spock's trying to figure out where the hell McCoy went, and Wilson's all avoiding telling him about how he's back at the hospital continuing a marathon-long argument with House over god knows what. it probably for the best that Spock's wearing one of his ear-hiding stealth hats, because Scully wouldn't believe he was an alien anyway.

8. 3 (Tim Burton) challenges 10 (Bertie Wooster) to a duel. What happens?
I really can't "..." enough for that concept. um ... there would be a lot more falling down and spazzing out than actual killing there, at the very least.

9. If 1 (Mulder) stole 8's (McCoy's) most precious possession, how would he get it back?
he'd bring Spock along and take back his whatever it is while Mulder's gibbering

10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 (Spock) and 12 (Wilson) both attain what they most desire.
"Yay, My Boyfriend's Not Being Crazy For Once". presumably Kirk and House were attacked by brain slugs in this story.

11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Danny Elfman) and 1 (Mulder) to work together?
hmm ... maybe Mulder tries to set the record straight with a better X-Files movie than the Gary Shandling-Tea Leoni one in that one episode and Danny does the score? and Mulder's all "prr, redheads" and Danny's all "prr, loopy paranormal-loving freaks" and sex goes on.

12. If 7 (Spock) visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
I'd like him a lot more than he'd like me, I think - way too illogical. and I don't think he'd like that bearded freak who won't stop humping his leg all weekend long, either. (oh, snap, Glenn)

13. If you could command 3 (Tim Burton) to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
"draw me a pretty picture, please"

14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11 (House)?
Mariel does sometimes, along with the people on the house_art list

15. If 2 (Scully) had to choose sides between 4 (Danny Elfman) and 5 (Spike), which would it be?
probably Danny, just because she'd be tired of all of Spike's vampire nonsense that he's clearly just making up

16. What might 10 (Bertie Wooster) shout while charging into battle?
oh, just watch "Blackadder Goes Forth" - Lt George is basically Bertie in the army

17. If you chose a song to represent 8 (McCoy), which song would you choose?
"You Don't Want a Boyfriend - What You Want is Mr Spock" by Nerf Herder

18. 1 (Mulder), 6 (Angel) and 12 (Wilson) 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?
well, unless scallion pancakes make a good carrier for pig's blood, I don't know that Angel would be trying very hard. Wilson I think has too much experiance getting food stolen from him to be outdone by Mulder

19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 (Scully) to use on 10 (Bertie Wooster)?
... no clue. Bertie would be terrified of Scully anyway

20. What would 5 (Spike) most likely be arrested for?
where do you even start? just go read the Watcher's files on "William the Bloody", that'll cover most of it.

21. What is 6's (Angel's) secret?
he's a big gay Barry Manilow loving weenie ... oh, wait. that's not a secret at all. he's not actually Irish - that's why his accent is so bad

22. If 11 (House) and 9 (Jeeves) were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
uh ... not House. unless Jeeves was REAAAALLLLY distracted by the sight of an unkempt cranky American version of Bertie, it would not be House

23. 1 (Mulder) and 9 (Jeeves) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Danny Elfman's) sinister secret organization. 11 (House) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 (House) is actually a spy for 4 (Danny). Meanwhile, 4 (Danny) has kidnapped 12 (Wilson) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Spike) , they seek out 3 (Tim Burton), 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.
- is Oingo Boingo Danny's sinister organization? if so, I hardly think that was worth Jeeves' time-travelling efforts
- I could totally see House working with Danny. Danny's mad-scientist ambitions would be rekindled and such bitchery would commence that you would not ever believe it
- why is Danny kidnapping his own spy's boyfriend? is that to convince Mulder and Jeeves that House is really on their side?
- "wise advice of Spike". bwahahahahahahahaha. although he did seem on the money - if anyone knows how to stop Danny's evil, it would probably be Tim.

anyway ... it would be called "Crack From Hell with Spy Bits in It" (for there's really no other way for that to be), maracela, beetle_breath and nilchance might read it, and I think temima should write it. go Tara go!

24. If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 (Spock) or 8 (McCoy)?
Spock. Vulcan nerve pinch, yo.

that was way too fun. I'm going to do another now

1) Hugh Laurie
2) Stephen Fry
3) Bernard Black
4) Manny Bianco
5) Aziraphale
6) Crowley
7) Xander
8) Willow
9) Cuddy
10) Foreman
11) Data
12) Picard


1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 (Crowley) or 11 (Data)? What subjects would they teach?
wow. well, Data would probably be more informative - Crowley would tell you the wrong information just to cause distress, if he showed up at all, but Crowley would probably be more fun. it's a "Hot for Teacher" scenario either way. Data could teach pretty much anything, and really, so could Crowley - he had a hand in a lot of it.

2. Do you think 4 (Manny Bianco) is hot? How hot?
not very, no. but he is awfully big and beardy

3. 12 (Picard) sends 8 (Willow) on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
why does this mission question always involve the Prime Directive being raped? huh. anyway ... probably to witch up some kind of Borg deterent to protect the Earth because dammit, Picard can't spend ALL his time de-Borging old timey Earth. it'd probably succeed - after all, if it didn't Picard wouldn't have existed to create the mission in the first place.

4. What is or would be 9's (Cuddy's) favorite book?
"A Field Guide to Sedatives that Look Like Vicodin"

5. Would it make more sense for 2 (Stephen Fry) to swear fealty to 6 (Crowley), or the other way around?
... probably the other way around, although I can't see either happening. Crowley's morally obliged NOT to swear fealty to Stephen, what with him being God and all.

6. For some reason, 5 (Aziraphale) is looking for a roommate. Should he share a studio apartment with 9 (Cuddy) or with 10 (Foreman)?
well, neither of them ever leave PPTH, so it doesn't really matter. either way, having an angelic roommate would probably be the only thing keeping House from being impaled with his own cane.

7. 2 (Stephen Fry), 7 (Xander) and 12 (Picard) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Stephen and Picard would probably discuss history and literature and the like, and Stephen and Xander would talk more along pop culture and gay joke lines. Xander wouldn't be able to talk to Picard for all the geekgasming he'd be doing. I can't imagine where they would eat that would suit both Picard's refined French sensibilities and Xander's Twinkie eating ways.

8. 3 (Bernard Black) challenges 10 (Foreman) to a duel. What happens?
Bernard's going down, fast. possibly before Foreman even does anything.

9. If 1 (Hugh Laurie) stole 8's (Willow) most precious possession, how would she get it back?
Hugh doesn't seem the thiefy sort ... but probably using magic. that's Willow's answer for everything.

10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 (Xander) and 12 (Picard) both attain what they most desire.
"The Enterprise Zips Around Space Excitingly"

11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Hugh Laurie) and 1 (Manny Bianco) to work together?
filming "House" drives Hugh nuts and he decides to return to England and compete for a job in Black Books with a man he's pretty sure was on QI a whole bunch

12. If 7 (Xander) visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
probably pretty good - I have lots of Star Trek and comics, and no vampires at all.

13. If you could command 3 (Bernard Black) to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
"sing me a song from the old country!"

14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11 (Data)?
Spork probably has a few times. sans clothing.

15. If 2 (Stephen) had to choose sides between 4 (Manny) and 5 (Aziraphale), which would it be?
probably Manny, because I'm assuming the argument is about the running of a bookshop, and Manny's vision is a lot more customer friendly. Stephen would also wonder why he looks so darn much like Bill Bailey, and would he like to be on QI some more?

16. What might 10 (Foreman) shout while charging into battle?
"die, you crippled bastard, die!"

17. If you chose a song to represent 8 (Willow), which song would you choose?
maybe "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic"

18. 1 (Hugh Laurie), 6 (Crowley) and 12 (Picard) 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?
Crowley has demonic powers, but on the other hand he could conjure up endless scallion pancakes if he wanted them. hm.

19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 (Stephen) to use on 10 (Foreman)?
I don't know, but damn do I want to see the results. yow. (although I think Stephen's interests would be elsewhere in a universe with a mysterious American Hugh)

20. What would 5 (Aziraphale) most likely be arrested for?
something Crowley pinned on him. he'd get out of it, but still

21. What is 6's (Crowley) secret?
how much of a secret is his wuv for a certain bookly angel? does that count?

22. If 11 (Data) and 9 (Cuddy) were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
probably Data with his magic robot limbs, but you never know. Cuddy is pretty pwniful

23. 1 (Hugh Laurie) and 9 (Cuddy) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Manny Bianco's) sinister secret organization. 11 (Data) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 (Data) is actually a spy for 4 (Manny). Meanwhile, 4 (Manny) has kidnapped 12 (Picard) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Aziraphale) , they seek out 3 (Bernard Black), 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.
- this one makes so much less sense that the first that the first almost looks normal now
- I think Cuddy would be VERY intrigued by someone with House's looks but none of his bitchy disobediance. 9 months later, House is lethally perplexed about why Cuddy Jr has his DNA and he has no recollection of Cuddysex. he wants Cuddysex, dammit!
- I'm pretty sure a moderately skilled Girl Scout troop could combat Manny's plans pretty ably, anyway
- Data would be the worst spy in the history of ever
- I've lost an awful lot of respect for Picard now
- "what they need to complete their quest" was probably Bernard telling Manny to finish cleaning the shop and stop hiding bald men in his bedroom

this would be called "Big Ol Bag of Crack", I don't think many people would get past that summary intact, and I don't think I know anyone else involved in all those fandoms. maybe Mariel. Mariel, go write that.

24. If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 (Xander) or 8 (Willow)?
both of them are pretty used to late-night dangers, but the "a wizard did it!" answer still applies to any question Willow's involved in

fandom, meme
