MEME: Create Your Own TV Show Meme

[caffienekitty]

Okay. This meme is evil. Because first it's all "*brain goes totally blank*" and then it's all "Well, I'll pick some actors and a concept and just do it" and all of a sudden it's twelve fifteen pages of political background, culture design, character backstory, mini-scenes and notes on location scouting and budget concerns, and, and gaaaaaah!! No

...why do I get the feeling I'm gonna regret this...aw what the fuck 8)

I can has?!?

It'll take awhile, probably a long while, but I'm on summer Vacai (FINALLY!), and dammit now I actually want to do it and yeah...

I'll trade you virtual cookies

Hm. How about:

"Any sufficiently reliable magic is indistinguishable from technology."
(reversing a quote by Arthur C. Clarke.)

And there's obviously no deadline, and no need to go quite so far with it, the meme rules are at the top. Have fun!

[classicinsanity]

I feel like your icon :P

...I can hear them...the muses are stirring, for the first time in ages...they're awakening >:)

Ok, I back away slowly from this time-sucking meme (already ended up checking out the games from your fic, can't do this as well) but I do admire your futuristic less bleak 1984!

And I approve of your casting :)

[caffienekitty]

Thank you. I hadn't actually thought of 1984 being one of the infuences, but I guess it's there too. That one kind of sinks into the subconcious.

Oh come on. It's a picspam! You pick some actors and give them a tweak on your favorite character they play and put them all together.

How hard could it be?

*evol laugh*

[caffienekitty]

Yeaaaaaah. It's deceptive. It could be just a little picspam and character development work, or it could be five months of cultural design and historical research gnawing on your brain.

Last time I did this, I ended up dreaming it and then spending 4 nights on the net looking up Alexander the Great running round India.

Hit me up baby!

How about this:

"Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake."

*noms cookie*

Considering the fact that I already have running ideas for a manga, two American comics, an anime and a sci mini series/ tv show/movie

what the hell. I surrender. Hit me.

How about...

"If I learn that a callow youth has begun a quest to destroy me, I will slay him while he is still a callow youth instead of waiting for him to mature."

Well...I did want to write this summer. And this might be a good way to kick-start that. Sooo....I'm in. I may regret this, but I'm in,lol. :)

(P.S. What you wrote has some interesting elements to it. I like the commentary on the trend in our current society to protect ourselves from EVERYTHING, even though over-shielding our systems is dangerous in its own right.)

[caffienekitty]

A little off the wall maybe, but here:

“Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.”
-Neil Gaiman

Hope it inspires something!

Thanks for your comments too. I don't do societal commentary really, but this just developed that way... maybe my subconscious is telling me to take more risks. Or drink more coffee. :-)

[katiejo567]

I think I love you for using a Neil Gaiman quote. He's one of my favorite authors! :) Question: Does this have to be a literal interpretation of the quote, or is it just an inspiration thing?

[caffienekitty]

Either or both is fine and dandy! :-)
