100 Things

I've been seeing those little 100 Things blogstamps around my flist, and I was thinking I didn't really want to join in because I couldn't think of anything I had the slightest interest in blogging about 100 times. But then someone on my network mentioned that they were going to blog about 100 favorite episodes of TV shows, and my brain went "ping!" All of a sudden that sounds fun!

But then I had more ideas along those lines, and now I'm torn.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Aren't you supposed to be writing fiction rather than wasting time on LJ?

They all sound fun. >_>

Also, the odds that I will actually make it to 100 are minimal, so don't hold your breath. *g*

(LJ version of this poll)

100 Things #1

The "100 favorite scenes" option is currently winning the poll by a landslide on both LJ and DW, so that is what you will get. :D

This is going to be a HIGHLY personal and probably quite embarrassingly id-centric assortment of scenes from books, movies, TV, comics, etc -- recently fanned-on stuff, and things from my childhood too. (Though I'm sure recent stuff will dominate because that's what's currently in my head.) There will, needless to say, be spoilers for EVERYTHING, but I will clearly label them on the cut tag in as non-spoilery a way as possible. *g* I will also try to label any potentially triggery or non-worksafe material.

I suppose that I will begin with a scene that proves it isn't going to be ALL h/c, twist endings and near-death experiences (although I suspect most of it will be *g*).

100 Things #2

Since I'm procrastinating anyway, I may as well do two of them at once. *g*

100 Things: 100 favorite scenes from anything (books, movies, TV, fanfic, etc) #2

This one is from a series of books that almost nobody on my flist has read except for me. *cough* But I know at least a few of you have! I first read them 15 years ago, somewhat unexpectedly recommended to me by a male friend (unexpected due to the fact that the h/c quotient in these books is so far through the roof that even fanfic barely touches the level of some of it).

The series in question is Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman's Death Gate Cycle.

Dammit show!

Dear Carnivale: It would be so much easier to quit you if you did not keep giving me scenes like THIS.

I am totally watching this show for the plot. Yep.
