Meme answers

[sholio]

So for the favorite characters meme:

1. SGA - Rodney (pinning this down was a lot harder than you might think, but I think it's probably Rodney)
2. SG1 - Teal'c & Vala (as on all the ones with multiple options, either counts as correct)
3. SPN - Dean (yeah, I'm a Dean girl *g*)
4. ST:TOS - McCoy
5. Good Omens - Crowley
6. Wiseguy - Frank
7. Saiyuki - Sanzo (ooh yes! cranky priests all the *way*, baby ^_^)
8. Sandman - Death
9. Bleach - Rukia
10. LoM - Sam
11. Buffy - Giles & Anya
12. Torchwood - Owen
13. Red Dwarf - Lister
14. Invisible Man - Bobby (by a teeeeensy margin *g*)
15. FMA - Roy (though it was very nearly Hughes except for ... well. The thing.)
16. One Piece - Zoro & Nami
17. JLI - Ted (Blue Beetle) & Max Lord
18. Power Man & Iron Fist - Misty Knight
19. Amber - Random (1st series); Merlin & Mandor (2nd series) - I would have taken any of these, had anyone guessed them!
20. Vorkosigan series - Mark

Some were easy (or easy-ish), but picking favorites in a lot of these was hard, because I tend to fan on stuff where I like nearly everybody in one way or another. I think my biggest problem, though, was figuring out how to deal with the ones where my favorite character changed, either due to canon events or just me relating to the text differently. SG1 is a good example of that, where it was Jack & Daniel at first, and Teal'c and Vala at the end. In those cases, I decided to go with the most current favorites.

Shockingly, xparrot guessed the most -- 11 (or 11 1/2 depending on whether I count the one she said I didn't have to). It's like she spends a lot of time around here or something ...

...ahhh! I should've gotten more of these than I did, I think. ^^;

And I can't even do this myself, because most of the stuff I love, I love team or partners, and could never bring myself to pick just one favorite.

Yeah; I had to leave out quite a few things because I *really* couldn't narrow it down to a single one or two favorites, and in pretty much all of these, the "favorite" character wouldn't be enough to draw me in all by him- or herself -- I need the group or team or partnership or whatever.

Dangit, I should've gone with Rukia for Bleach! XP

Also yay Owen in Torchwood - I knew you liked him and Tosh but didn't you'd count him as your fave...

Well, now you do. :D (Rukia! I love her so! I pretty much quit reading Bleach because I was so frustrated with her role in the Soul Society arc, and the way she and the others kept getting sidelined for Ichigo's journey towards being the most awesome Soul Reaper in the history of ever. Blargh.)

I like your request; now I just need to find their voices again! It's been soooo looooong.

Wiseguy

Yay, Frank. He was always my favorite of the three main characters (yay for snark). This was a fandom that seriously needed some fanfic, but most of it wasn't what I wanted to read. I really wanted some more of the main cast to fill in the gaps between eps. Oh well!

Re: Wiseguy

Frank's snark is awesome. He gets all the best lines!

I've been bemoaning the lack of Wiseguy fic, especially Wiseguy casefile and episode-tag fic, ever since I rediscovered the series last year. But I plan to have it on both my requests and my offer-to-write lists for Yuletide, so we'll see what comes of that!
