Sticard? Picark?
Inspired by a recent entry by the very lovely and talented justmediya, here's my run at the 12 Characters Fanfic meme. (No, I did not cheat - I made up my list before I read her answers, promise.)
First, write down the names of 12 characters. Then read and answer the questions. You can't read the questions (or click on the cut) until you've chosen the 12 characters you're going to use.
My illustrious dozen:
1. Alex Russo (Wizards of Waverly Place)
2. Superman [Clark Kent] (DC Comics)
3. Don Quixote (Man of La Mancha)
4. Kermit the Frog (The Muppets)
5. Batgirl [Barbara Gordon] (DC Comics)
6. Spider-Man [Peter Parker] (Marvel Comics)
7. Iron Man [Tony Stark] (Marvel Comics)
8. Shadowcat [Kitty Pryde] (X-Men)
9. Indiana Jones [Henry Jones Jr.] (Raiders of the Lost Ark, et al)
10. Qui-Gon Jinn (Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace)
11. Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)
12. Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
1. Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to?
Hermione and Spider-Man? Hmm...y'know what? Yeah, kinda. It'd be an interesting dynamic. Peter basically *was* the male version of Hermione pre-spider-bite, and shares a lot of personality traits with Harry and Ron in his adulthood. And Hermione is a HELL of a lot more interesting than either Gwen Stacy or Mary Jane Watson. Hmmmmmm...
2. Do you think Four is hot? How hot?
Kermit? Um, no. Sorry Kermit. You're awesome-sauce, but...no.
3. What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?
HA!! Picard knocks up Kitty Pryde? There'd be a lot of confusion over whether or not it was Professor X's baby, I imagine. XD And both Colossus and Wolverine would be PISSED...not to mention Dr. Crusher, especially since she'd probably be the one to detect the pregnancy in the first place. Honestly, though, I foresee a status-quo restoring deus ex miscarriage, possibly a tragic one at the hands of a Borg-assimilated Sentinel. That's how these things tend to turn out, after all, both in the comics and on the show.
4. Can you rec any fics about Nine?
I've never gone looking for Indiana Jones fics, honestly. There *is* one that's kind of a cracky crossover with Wizards that I started, but it was just a little *too* cracky for my taste.
5. Would Two and Six make a good couple?
Though I'm generally not into slash, and Superman/Lois is one of my all-time OTP's...yeah, I can see Peter and Clark making a good couple. They have a lot of the same ideals, and share the 'With great power comes great responsibility' philosophy, but where Clark is an optimist who takes himself too seriously sometimes, Peter is a pessimist who never met a wise-crack he didn't like, no matter how lame. I don't think I'll ever ship it, but I can see the potential.
6. Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?
Batgirl and Indiana Jones, no question. Indy and Babs are both smart, sexy, cocky, resourceful, recklessly brave, and play by their own rules, but are intent on doing the right thing. The more i think about it, the more I see them as being a terrific match - they're EXACTLY each other's type, and I think their UST witty banter would be EPIC! Qui-Gon I can see as being more of a wise old mentor to Babs, having more of a Master/Padawan relationship with her. (Plus, Qui-Gon has the whole "a Jedi shall not know love" thing working against him, so...)
7. What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?
If he's sober, Tony makes a wry comment and suavely excuses himself, but files the incident away for future blackmail material, much to Clark and Jean-Luc's mutual chagrin. If he's drinking, though, it's entirely possible that Tony joins in. :P
8. Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic.
Too easy. Set in the modern day, a senile Spanish landowner watches Episode I so many times in the theatre that he gets it into his head that he IS a Jedi Knight. Fashioning himself a set of robes and a makeshift lightsaber, Obi-Don Quixoti sallies forth to become a guardian of peace and justice in the galaxy, in the name of Lady Padme Amidala, in the footsteps of his fallen master, Qui-Gon Jinn.
9. Is there such a thing as One/Eight fluff?
Alex/Kitty Pryde? Not that I know of, but goddamit, now I really WANT there to be! (It's kind of ironic, because I've often thought Selena Gomez would make an AWESOME Kitty, and it would make my life to see her play the character if a solo movie were ever made, a la Wolverine.)
10. Suggest a title for Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic.
Jesus, Tony just can't keep his hands off of Picard, can he? Umm..."Prosthetic Hearts, Beating In Time"? :P
