Meme! (or: I am a huge nerd. But I knew that already)

[sholio]

I don't have time for memes, I really don't, but this was too much fun not to!

As seen everywhere (including astridv and ratcreature):

1. Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2. Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.

My first reaction was ... only 20?! *g* When I just scribbled down a list off the top of my head, I came up with 27, and then I kept thinking of ones I'd forgotten. I think I could get to 40 or 50 easily. So this is by no means a comprehensive list ... just some of the various stuff I've obsessed on in the last 20 years! (And I had to leave off some because the favorite character answer would have been EVERYONE. Like Discworld ... I started counting favorite characters and gave up after about 10. *g*)

I'll edit the list to include the answers once you guys have a chance to do some guessing. The most right answers wins a short (... really really short) fic for the prompt/fandom of your choice, assuming of course it's something I write -- so guess on as many as you can! Some of these have more than one right answer, i.e. more than one favorite (though I kept it down to the ones where I don't have more than two) and I'll accept anything that's correct!

18. Power Man & Iron Fist (comic)
19. Amber books (Roger Zelazny)
20. Vorkosigan books (Lois McMaster Bujold)

ETA: The answers are up!

14. Darien (<--Can I just say, I love this show so much?)

Me too! :D It's one of my older fandoms, but really, at the time, it was one of my big ones ... it just didn't last all that long because I got into the show shortly before it was cancelled. I still have a half-finished fic floating around (h/c, of course); now that the show's out on DVD, I've been thinking about having a rewatch ...

[spark-force.livejournal.com]

I actually just got into it a few weeks ago-- they've got both seasons up on Hulu, and I watched the entire thing in the space of five days. ;p

The sad thing about getting into a show so long canceled is that there's no fandom for it anymore, though. *sigh* I'm sincerely considering writing my own fic just so there's some activity.

I still have a half-finished fic floating around (h/c, of course)

Aah! Why must you taunt me like this? YOU REALIZE YOU NEED TO FINISH IT, RIGHT? XD

[friendshipper.livejournal.com]

Hee! I keep meaning to ... I still have warm feelings for the show. It's on Hulu, is it? *perks* The second season isn't available on DVD and I haven't seen most of it since it originally aired -- hmm!

It's too bad because there was a pretty active h/c and buddy-fic fandom back in the day (though I hadn't yet experienced SGA fandom at that point -- I think my baseline for an active fandom is forever skewed!). I'm not sure what flavor of fic you're looking for, but my favorite author back in the day was Lucy Hale (http://www.squirreltail.net/lucyhale/im.html); she writes both slash and gen (and some of her stories that are labeled slash actually read as gen to me, like "Flowers", one of my all-time favorites). The show used to have a pretty strong presence on ff.net; you might want to check it out if you aren't categorically opposed to reading fic on the Pit of Voles!

[spark-force.livejournal.com]

Yep, and it's actually on youtube as well, although the quality of the second season on there isn't great. But worth keeping in mind if Hulu really does start charging subscription fees in 2010.

Thanks for the recs! I've definitely read Flowers, but not most of her other work, and I haven't done as much digging into ff.net as I probably could have. (Oh, back in the days before livejournal!) I'll have to get on that once I finally have some free time. :D

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Totally guessing! Often more than one, 'cuz I'm cheating...

1. Stargate Atlantis - Rodney
2. Stargate SG1 - Teal'c, or else Jack
3. Supernatural - Dean and/or Bobby
4. Star Trek: TOS - McCoy?
5. Good Omens - hmm. Crowley?
6. Wiseguy - whatshisname. Frank? The dude with glasses.
7. Saiyuki (manga or anime) - ahhh no idea! Sanzo?
8. Sandman (Neil Gaiman) - Death?
9. Bleach (manga) - Chad! (only guessed 'cuz Chad was my favorite...) or else Rukia?
10. Life on Mars (UK) - umm. Sam. Unless he was too woobie for you?
11. Buffy - no clue. Giles?
12. Torchwood - Tosh?
13. Red Dwarf - Rimmer?
14. Invisible Man - Hobbes?
15. Fullmetal Alchemist (anime) - ummmm. Hughes?
16. One Piece - ahhh shouldn't I know this? Zoro? or Luffy?
17. Justice League International (the Giffen/DeMatteis years) (comic)- Flash?

The last 3 I don't know at all.

[friendshipper.livejournal.com]

Oh, no fair guessing two different options for the same question! XD I can only give you half credit on any you may have gotten right for those ... unless you were right on *both* of them! (And there are a few for which there's more than one right answer.) Or you could narrow it down to one ...!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Ahahah...I totally missed that there was a prize involved (I kan reed!), so the score counted! In that case...I guess Zoro for One Piece, Chad for Bleach, and Teal'c for SG-1. For SPN I'm keeping Dean & Bobby, and if I'm wrong about either of those, you can give me 0?

[friendshipper.livejournal.com]

Awww, I'll give you half credit if you're right on only one (but I ain't tellin' yet!)

[friendshipper.livejournal.com]

The answers are up, and shockingly enough, you seem to have gotten more right than anyone else (... gee, it's like you know me or something!). So ... what would you like me to write? Gimme a character(s) and a prompt or scenario. I'll write anything in which I've seen/read/etc. the source text -- it's just going to have to be short, since I'm pretty busy right now. I might need a brief refresher on older fandoms. ^_^

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Because you were talking about it above, and it got me jonesin' - Hobbes & Darien (& the Keeper too if you can fit her in <3) and something to do with quicksilver madness.

[argosy.livejournal.com]

1, Rodney
2. Sam
3. Dean
4. McCoy
5. Azriphale
6. Vinnie
7. No idea
8. Death
9. ?
10. Sam
11. Willow
12. Jack
13. Rimmer

And now you've pretty much lost me, but what the hell...
14. ?
15. ?
16. ?
17. Captain Atom
18. ?
19. Corwin
20 Miles

Wow, you've really obsessed over different stuff than me, for the most part. I'm glad we're obsessing over the same thing now. :) Also, Torchwood but no Who? That's right, I remember you don't like Rose, I think? I liked her quite a bit myself.

[friendshipper.livejournal.com]

*g* Well, bear in mind that I'm not including half of what I've obsessed over -- I wanted a fairly wide range to be represented, so I included a number of book, comic and anime fandoms along with the Western TV shows. I don't think I was ever as deeply into Doctor Who as any of the items on this list, but it definitely had its moments ...

[astridv.livejournal.com]

I don't know most of these fandoms and for those I do know, I don't know ;)... so I'll take a few wild guesses.

1. Stargate Atlantis - Rodney?
2. Stargate SG1 - Vala
3. Supernatural - Dean
4. Star Trek: TOS - Spock
6. Wiseguy - the title character
11. Buffy - Buffy
12. Torchwood - Tosh?
13. Red Dwarf - the hologram

[leesa_perrie]

Most of these are pure guesses - especially for the two I've never watched and so don't know the characters in them!!

1. Stargate Atlantis - John
2. Stargate SG1 - Jack
3. Supernatural - Dean (a show I've not watched)
4. Star Trek: TOS - Picard
10. Life on Mars (UK) - Gene
11. Buffy - Buffy (another show I've not watched)
12. Torchwood - Ianto
13. Red Dwarf - Lister
14. Invisible Man - Darien

EDIT: Argh!! I read ST:TOS as ST:TNG!!! Sorry about that!! I know the answers now, so no point in changing it. *doh*

[parisntripfan.livejournal.com]

Here are my guesses. I only chose fandoms that I know at least something about....


1. Stargate Atlantis John Shepard
2. Stargate SG1 Teal'c
4. Star Trek: TOS Spock
6. Wiseguy Vinnie
10. Life on Mars (UK) Gene Hunt
11. Buffy Giles
