and a meme
I've suddenly developed a completely rational fear of being spoiled for Stargate: SG-1. Maybe this would be a good time finally to crack open the S9 DVDs? (Or maybe I should just watch "Abyss" again. And again. And again.)
Anyhow, a meme, that doesn't involve any stargates:

Pick 12 characters you like, and then answer the questions below the cut about them. Obviously first choose your characters before you see the questions.
1. Ducky McCrae (California Diaries)
2. Rupert Giles (BtVS)
3. Minerva McGonagall (HP)
4. Hermione Granger (HP)
5. CJ Cregg (West Wing)
6. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (BtVS/A)
7. Tara Maclay (BtVS)
8. Maggie Blume (CA Diaries)
9. Kaylee Frye (FF)
10. Joss Whedon (RPF)
11. Cordelia Chase (BtVS/A)
12. Miranda Bailey (GA)
1. Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic (Wesley/Cordelia)? Do you want to?
Yes! OTP! Win! (I think this meme is rigged. I am okay with that.)
2. Do you think Four (Hermione Granger) is hot? How hot?
Not really. She is Too Young For Me and my mental image of her is Largely Coloured By The Films, so the idea of fancying her squicks me a bit. I'm sure she'll be lovely when she grows up, though. Much like Mallory Pike.
3. What would happen if Twelve (Dr. Bailey) got Eight (Maggie Blume) pregnant?
Insert obligatory plea for more femmepreg in the world. I'm kind of imagining Maggie at thirteen, in which case this scenario is a World of Wrong and out of character for Bailey. Even once Maggie is grown-up, and Maggie's her intern (what, fantasy world, here!) I'm still finding it hard to believe Bailey would. (It's so not fair. I am madly in heart with Bailey but can't imagine her in happy femslashy contexts on account of the married.
4. Can you recommend any fic(s) about Nine (Kaylee)?
I kind of lose at making recs.
5. Would Two (Giles) and Six (Wesley) make a good couple?
Many people think so, but I can't quite get over the problematic part where Wesley stole Giles's job and they kind of hate each other. I do think there's the potential for them to enjoy each other quite a bit if they met under other circumstances, but their history is too bitter for them to get over it.
6. Five/Nine (CJ/Kaylee) or Five/Ten (CJ/Joss)? Why?
Okay, this is an unfairly easy question. I love Joss and his thing for strong women, but... I think Kaylee could make CJ so damned happy.
7. What would happen if Seven (Tara) walked in on Two (Giles) and Twelve (Bailey) having sex?
Tara would get very flustered and embarrassed and excuse herself quickly and she and Giles would really, really not talk about it.
8. Make up a summary for a Three/Ten (McGonagall/Joss) fic.
There are a lot of things Joss Whedon doesn't understand: why his bags always get misdirected when he travels overseas, what women want, and how magic really works. (Okay, guys? So this is the question that plotbunnied me. My brain is BROKEN.)
9. Is there such a thing as One/Eight (Ducky/Maggie) fluff?
Awwwww. They are totally a) in the same fandom and b) adorable with the identity crisis. I'm sure it's not been written, and there's the small problem of sexual orientation, but it could be fluffy. And awesome!
10. Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve (Tara/Bailey) hurt/comfort fic.
"Bird with a Broken Wing"
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four (Hermione Granger) to deflower One (Ducky)?
Lots and lots of alcohol.
12. Does anyone on your friends list read Seven (Tara) slash?
Absolutely. The canon gay doesn't hurt.
13. Does anyone on your friends list read Three (McGonagall) het?
I can think of one person no longer into HP who used to. Otherwise, I feel the McGonagall fans on the flist are mostly in the slash school of thought.
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven (Cordelia)?
Obligatory death-of-the-Buffyverse complaining aside, yes.
15. Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five (Giles/Hermione/CJ)?
Okay, the last time this meme rolled around, "Incurable" happened. I'm kind of thinking if anyone I know would write this, it would be me.
16. What might Ten (Joss) scream at a moment of great passion?
Names of characters people, in decreasing order of likelihood: 1. Kitty! 2. River! 3. Buffy! 4. Alexis! or else "girl power!"
17. If you wrote a song-fic about Eight (Maggie Blume), which song would you choose?
Oh, come now. Maggie's life is songfic.
18. If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve (Ducky/Wesley/Bailey) fic, what would the warnings be?
Warnings: Infidelity, emo manpain, Ducky het, completely implausible crossover, and underage/cross-gen sex.
19. What might be a good pick-up line for Two (Giles) to use on Ten (Joss)?
"Yes I have heard of Buffy the vampire slayer; why do you ask?"
20. When was the last time you read a fic about Five (CJ)?
Um. Probably something of Em's.
21. What is Six's (Wesley's) super-sekrit kink?
Variations on the theme of Angel(us) biting, draining, and/or turning him.
22. Would Eleven (Cordy) shag Nine (Kaylee)? Drunk or sober?
I think there would be general drinking and girliness and flirtation before sex happened. It would be so cute and awesome. Awwww!
23. If Three (McGonagall) and Seven (Tara) get together, who tops?
*picks self's brain up off floor* Um, yeah. This is a very good idea. With magic and witchiness and teaching and spells and oh yeah. Question at hand. McGonagall, just a little.
24. "One (Ducky) and Nine (Kaylee) are in a happy relationship until Nine (Kaylee) suddenly runs off with Four (Hermione Granger). One (Ducky), broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven (Cordelia) and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve (Miranda Bailey), then follows the wise advice of Five (CJ Cregg) and finds true love with Three (McGonagall)."
This meme broke Ducky's gay. :( (For some reason I am fixating on the Kaylee bits of this fic, which while implausibly crossoverish at least make some sense!)
25. What title would you give this fic?
"Too Dumb; Didn't Read"
26. How would you feel if Seven/Eight (Tara/Maggie) was canon?
Deliriously joyous because it would mean Joss 'n' Ann were collaborating on a crossover project of doom with canon gay and geez, once Maggie grows up a little and adopts crunchy folksinger lesbian persona, wouldn't this just be giddy and happy AUness of glee? I thought so.
