Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you. (Please note: If you simply wish to comment on something I've said but don't want to participate in the meme, that is fine. I will only give you five words if you specifically comment you with '

give me three hundred words and I'll slip a TS Eliot quote into a fic so fast it'll make your head spin

HAHAHA I CONCUR. Replace 'TS Eliot quote' with 'scientific reference' and that's bang on.

WORDS! PLEASE

[pogrebin]

FOR YOU: linguistics, precise, double-helix, epiphany, illumination

And oh, man. I love your sneaky science. Your med-student references and my english-student ones should get together and have many geeky, multitalented disgustingly cute children. :DDD

[fahye]

*squints* Those are difficult words to talk about! But I'll do my best.

Can you imagine if we cowrote something? Normal people would be like, WHERE ARE THE REAL WORDS. THIS IS ALL SO BLOODY OBSCURE.

[pogrebin]

These are just the words that you make me think of, dammit! :P I never said I'd make it easy on you...

Our archetypal joint-story would really just be a paragraph long, with a three page bibliography, written to MLA guidelines.

(ALSO, WE SHOULD COWRITE SOMETHING SOMETIME. IT WOULD BE AWESOME. AT LEAST FOR US.)

[fahye]

Hahahahahaha we absolutely should, but now I am going to have to struggle against the urge to produce a paragraph-long fic with the highest density of pretentious references per sentence known to man.

I reckon we could do something pretty amazing with Trek. Aliens! Science! Lingustics! Fears & deaths & the shadows of a parallel destiny!

[pogrebin]

(DO IT, DO IT!!!)

Oooh, yes. We could do something awesome. You realise I'm never going to be able to keep up with your hilarious Kirk/McCoy stylings but that's good. You can bring the absurdly funny and I'll get to be the gloomyguts in the corner. :DDD

*handwave* I am in the mood for gut-wrenching gen about duty and complicated emotional dynamics and teeeeeeeamwork. And Spock. Lots of Spock. How about you?

[pogrebin]

It's like you're reaching inside my brain and poking at all my pleasure centres.

YES PLEASE. Lots of Spock always works for me. Plus filling in lacunae, the weight of history, getting it right by accident.

Let's doooo it!

[fahye]

Oh baby oh baby. LACUNAE. & THE WEIGHT OF HISTORY. Pleasure centres indeed.

It's almost midnight here and I'm still recovering from a severe backlog of sleep deprivation so I won't be much more use today, but I will think it over. Email me any ideas you have, no matter how insane!

[pogrebin]

Oh, me too-- I might be rather useless till the new season of Torchwood wraps up really because my brain is one track mind like. But your brain inspires me like nothing else, so bouncing emails off each other and writing in snatches sounds like a Very Awesome Plan.

EEEE. <3333

ALSO, WE SHOULD COWRITE SOMETHING SOMETIME.

I WOULD DIE.

seriously. don't talk lightly of this. don't give me hopes. in football analogy that would be like seeing Bekcenbauer and Platini play in the same team, in terms of HOW MUCH I WOULD DIE.
