Ooo, nicely done selection. You did a better job of keeping the mood somewhat consistent over the fandoms than I did, they're strangely cohesive with one another so it's a bit like viewing a well-stitched patchwork quilt.

[lost_spook]

Aw, thanks. I think it was a combination of my mood at the time, my tendency to be repetitive and the fact that I cheated (otherwise I would have had a random nonsense line about somebody's belly... and another about mackerel.) & therefore had rather introspective/melancholy prompts. (I thought about making 4. Spike, and the sad reading of the Press Gang finale, but I decided enough was enough. :lol:)

Thanks, though! :-D

Lor' that sounds like a complicated meme!

[lost_spook]

Heh, it wasn't, really! Sounds more so than it was - it was a lot of fun. :-)

[persiflage_1]

So long as it was fun!

[lost_spook]

It was! :-)

Ooh, I do like those, they're great. I do like how you've got them all to fit so well with the lines from the poems.

[lost_spook]

Thank you! They were really interesting to do. (It occurs to me also that you are probably the only person on my flist who will actually know all 5 fandoms, too. :-D)

[paranoidangel42]

I was thinking that it helps that I know all 5 fandoms :)

[lost_spook]

You have such great taste! ;-D

[librarylover82]

Well done! I wish I knew all of these fandoms. I plan to do this one, when I get some more time.

[lost_spook]

Thanks! They were all rather British and / or obscure, so it's not surprising that you don't! :-)

And I will be v interested to see your results!

[akashasheiress]

I love that you picked Katarina!

[lost_spook]

Somehow you just can't get away with it when it's Adric... :lol: Aw, thanks. I wanted One - the prompt made me think of him, and of Katarina.
