So, What is a weekend?

[kith_koby]

Brienne? Well, I get the reasoning. I'm with the Dornish women myself, because if they survive they have much more to look forward to in life, but I do hope Brienne survives and succeeds.

You don't get a/b/o? Makes sense... I didn't get it either until it was in femslash. Have you tried the femslash ones (I can give you a few recs if you want)? They work so much better (at least for me).

Roller Coasters are sometimes very scary. I didn't mind them when I was younger, but nowadays I feel too bothered to get on.

And I would pay through my nose for Carmen Sandiego as a Time Lord, but more for Melisande.

i love the Dornish ladies, too, but Brienne brings out my protective side.

sure, shoot me some recs. i would probably prefer femslash. i'm willing to give anything a chance. but on the surface it just doesn't sound like me.

ha, i HAVE thought of a Kushiel/Doctor Who crossover where Melisande is a fobwatched Time Lady. it makes so much sense! and The Doctor can't figure out whether she'll try to take over the universe or not. And Donna gets offered a job at Mandrake House. so many fic ideas, not enough time.

Your questions:

1) What is the meaning behind your username?

2) What is your favorite tv show/book/movie from your childhood?

3) Do you have any strange hobbies or quirks?

4) What are your three favorite narrative or literary kinks?

5) If you had unlimited time, ambition and skill, what fic would you most want to write?

Well, this is a good place to start: http://a-b-o-ladies.livejournal.com/6751.html#cutid1. I especially recommend This Fragrant Skin, This Hair Like Lace, though it may be hard to understand if you don't know Puella Magi Madoka Magica (in which case, you should immediately go and watch it).
Also this: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8765740/1/Animals-and-Prizes which does an amazing job of exploring the social ramifications of a/b/o dynamics.

so many fic ideas, not enough time.
See, if Melisande was a Time Lady, she'd probably make sure we had enough time to write these fics...

Anyway, dead tired. I'll do these question tomorrow, probably after work.

So, took a bit more time than I thought thanks to a virus hitting me, but done: http://kith-koby.livejournal.com/3183.html

I think I'd chose to protect Brienne too, or Asha maybe? I sort of feel like the narrative is protecting Sansa and Dany to a certain extent; but what do I know, I spent most of book one assuming the series was going to end with King Eddard, First of his Name. But Brienne's essential goodness means she's the character I can least stand to see awful things happen to. And the idea of her as a sword slinging cat lady is kind of awesome.

a/b/o-- it's terribly judgemental, really, because I don't know much about it at all, just enough to know that it's Not For Me.

Your five books are basically a to-read list for me-- Wise Child especially sounds pretty cool.

Ooh, that O'Brien fic idea is brilliant!

i agree with you about Brienne. she's the one at this point it would break my heart to see anything horrible happen to. I don't know if Dany & Sansa will survive to the last page, but I think they have plot armor until the last book. But I also thought the first book was going to end with King Eddard and the rise of the Stark dynasty so what do i know
