As It Turned Out, It Was Only Twenty Seconds.
Oh, good Lord, draegonhawke, I didn't get you anything! Thank you so much! Can I do anything for you? Is there anything you'd really like me to have a go at writing?
So much icon space all of a sudden! I'd say 'I have no idea what I'll do with it all', but I quickly learnt when the space for free users went from three to six that the number of userpics you ( Read more... )

Also, I'd like it very much if I wasn't the only May/Norrington writer. And he's from the 18th century? Eh, then I was only off by A CENTURY. Not bad.
"I've been thinking that 2006 was 2007 since, er, June. I ask people, in perfect seriousness, 'what year is it?' on a fairly regular basis."
Freak :p.

As you've probably guessed, I'd like it if you weren't the only May/Norrington writer, too. Although, if there has to only be one, I'm very glad it's you, because you are fantastic at it. (I've been contemplating writing some myself, but I just can't get started. Why can I not think of a scenario to work from? PAIRING UP A MOTORING JOURNALIST AND A FICTIONAL MAN FROM THE ROYAL NAVY WITH THREE CENTURIES BETWEEN THEM SHOULD NOT BE THIS DIFFICULT.)
Oh, dear, I walked into that, didn't I? I'll probably think it's 2006 until this June and 2008 afterwards. I am hopeless at years.
ALTHOUGH AT LEAST I DO NOT MIX UP MY CENTURIES.

CLEARLY you need to write an AU in which they are all pirates and SOMEHOW meet Norrington, and, er, perhaps Captain Jack Sparrow.
"I am hopeless at years."
You should never become a time traveller then, I think.
I thought the 17th century was a perfectly good guess! There was trade going, and pirates, and I have no idea when Pirates of the Caribbean is set! I don't think the movie even knows which century it's set in. I SURE DON'T.

I could be a perfectly fine time traveller(*), thank you, sir. The Doctor never lands when and where he intends to, anyway.
I actually didn't have a clue which century it was set in, but Wikipedia said the eighteenth, so I went with that.
* if you ignore the fact that I'll probably be killed by the first alien threat I come across.

And Happy New Year! 2007. Seven! ;-)

Oh, you really shouldn't say that to me, because then I'll target you as a Person To Persuade Into Writing Insane Things. Ever thought about Captain Jack Harkness/the Todd? Or, indeed, becoming familiar enough with May and Norrington to satisfy my newest bizarre craving?

Also, I want to write a mad crossover with Captain Jack. Not with the Todd though. Any other crazy-bad-wrong ideas?
As for becoming familiar enough, I will be watching Top Gear when it returns. This is entirely your fault.

I would love to see him meet Watson, actually, because I adore Watson and Jack's openness about sex and sexuality would probably be quite a shock to a respectable Victorian gentleman.
Or Captain Jack/Chase. Firstly because Chase would have the most amazing expression ever when he realised that Jack was hitting on him, and secondly because I am shallow and it would be approximately the prettiest pairing ever.
I am very glad to hear that you'll be watching Top Gear! (I cannot wait for it to return. I love it so much.)

"(Except Hammond, I guess. Though putting up with SG-1 may be insanity in and of itself.)"
The fact that it has a character with the last name of 'Hammond' alone might be enough. Also, it is slightly weird and I find that I prefer to call him 'George' when rambling about him in mu LJ.
"I entrust the task of Getting Her Hooked unto you, m'dear. I am too far away."
Well, I have always had a tendency to criticise and ramble about SG-1. Who knows, it shall be my New Year resolution.
