Aten't dead! In fact I have been posting to both tumblr and twitter with reasonable frequency, but my life in 140 characters or gifs with capslock commentary is not ... particularly in depth. So: hello! I am here to warn you all that Martin Freeman's face has hypnotic powers of suggestion, because my recent fannish activities have fallen into one of these two categories:
1. rewatch Sherlock/rewatch the Granada Holmes series/desperately seek post-Reichenbach fic/reread the Paradox series & all of Katie Forsythe's fic in a fit of madness/gaze upon Sherlock vids/curse the heavens that I have to wait so long for the next series
2. reread the Hobbit/flop about and make joyful noises about how fucking perfect Freeman's Bilbo is going to be/watch the Hobbit teaser trailer about a million times/rewatch all the cast bits in the Extended Edition Lord of the Rings DVDs/read all the Mark Reads entries of the Hobbit & what he has so far of Lord of the Rings/accidentally trip and fall into the first few chapters of Fellowship, which is fair enough as I haven't done a proper reread in three years
I am combating this White Dudes Doing Stuff thing by working on my novel that has basically one white dude doing stuff, and plenty of ladies and nonwhite dudes doing stuff, which is great! But the fannish channel is all hobbits and detectives right now. (Although no hobbit detectives! There seems to be a pretty low crime rate in the Shire, but I really hope there's a hobbit detective in Bree or something.)
Meanwhile I want to pull out something that I posted last time I was reading Lord of the Rings, because it was SUCH FUN, and it is the One Ring game! The One Ring game basically goes: think of (a) character(s) from a fandom other than LotR, and figure out what would happen if they were given the One Ring and charged to destroy it. So, for example: Neville Longbottom would destroy that sucker; Andrew Wells from Buffy would hide in a dark room with it and call it his Precious and be totally useless; Benton Fraser would TAKE OVER THE WORLD. &c. Give me characters! I will tell you what they do! Epic quests and evil overlords for all!

BtVS/Angel (TV only, not the comic)
Giles or Tara Or Faith (We KNOW what would happen to Willow. *shudder*)

Giles: is probably wise enough to resist taking the Ring at all, and will hand it off to someone better suited to the task. If he had to take it, though, I suspect that he'd be quite good at resisting it until the end.
Tara: I think she'd make a pretty good Ringbearer! She'd need someone there to encourage her and help uphold her spirits, and that makes me a little nervous because of course Willow would want to go with her and ... things would go downhill pretty fast. But yes, Tara could probably destroy it.
Faith: ohhh man, okay, I am pretty sure in the place of a Dark Lord we would have a queen.
no subject
Faith... oh Faith, such a contradiction of emotions, BAMF, and fallen angel. (She'd make a great Lucifer on Supernatural.) I agree she wouldn't be able to resist the lure (allure? )of the ring. I see her heading to LA and teaming up with Lilah (alive or dead) to not only take over Wolfram & Hart, but stage a coup on the Senior Partners. They wouldn't know what hit them!
Faith/Lilah is my new anti-hero OTP, thanks to beer_good_foamy's On the Edge of No Escape.
