Memes, ficlet call, and the Dalek Invasion of RC 1020
Today's another 'Rez-wraps-things-up' day. You have been warned. Don't worry, I'll cut things to spare your f-list space.
Number first, we were tagged about a billion years ago to do this meme, as the Agents, and we're just now getting around to it. What? We are busy people.

Second off, I'm concluding the movie-quotes meme as people have generally stopped guessing. The ones that were missed were mostly the more obscure ones, although I was surprised at a few..
The ones that didn't get guessed:
1. "Haven't you ever heard of 'peace on earth, goodwill to all men?'" "NO!"
-Nightmare Before Christmas
2. "Are you wearing my underwear? 'Cause I'm wearing yours, and it ain't doing the trick!"
-Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (I can't believe nobody got that one. Shame.)
4. "You mean you've never composed a hole book?"
-Yellow Submarine
7. "She's good." "..You have no idea."
-X2
9. "Now we're fucked. I want to know in advance when we're fucked."
-Lost in La Mancha
10. "And get a cat that can act!"
-Day for Night
16. "I wish you would stop."
-Sense and Sensibility (leave it to me to pick a really tiny and unimportant line, just because it was said by Hugh Laurie. Sorry.)
17. "Lovely model, never any trouble."
-How To Irritate People
19. "I did not leave the South Side for this!"
-Mean Girls (what? I like that movie.)
23. "Slam dunk, three points!"
-Scotland, PA
yami_to_hikari and festegurl92101 both got six right, so congratulations! You both win a mini-ficlet in the fandom of your choice! Hopefully you both know generally what fandoms I can write, so leave me a comment and let me know what you'd like. *pokes toward the comment box*
And finally, I'd like to introduce the newest occupant of RC 1020, Winston, probably the smallest and most harmless Dalek in existence.
You see, Winston is an inch tall and made of pipecleaners. But don't point that out to him..
..or he might EXTERMINATE you!
Well, no. He might try. You might get what amounts to a small static shock.
Winston likes to explore, I've discovered, so if you see him around HQ don't panic, and please don't step on him.
*checks around* All right, I think that's it.. Rez, out. *click-fzzt!*
