And now it looks more like I'll get my own computer back sometime early next week. Since I leave town on Wednesday, I am ... now less than serene about this. So fuck this noise, it's time for a meme.

1. Make a list of fifteen characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment.

2. Ask your flist to post questions in the comments. For example: 'One, nine and fifteen are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from four. Do they succeed?', 'Under what circumstances might five and fourteen fall in love?', 'Which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?'

3. After your flist has asked enough questions, round them up and answer them using the fifteen characters you selected beforehand, then post them.

And the winners are Gina Torres and Idris Elba! I would have some last pictures of their lovely faces, but I am having technical difficulties today.

Anyway, it's been very fun! My tastes do not entirely match those of my collective flist, but it was interesting to see how things went down. I think if I ever do this again, I'll do it with twenty ladies because, seriously, it was difficult to narrow it down to ten for this. I hope y'all had a good time too!

Today we say goodbye to Karen Gillan and David Tennant. Guys, were you trying to crush my soul? That's two from Doctor Who in one day! It seems a bit cruel. On the other hand, I am pretty delighted with our last three ladies standing.

We seem to have a tie this round between Callum Keith Rennie and Peter Wingfield, so instead of just choosing one or the other, because it might actually be physically impossible for me to do so, it's time for a tie-breaking vote.

ETA: It occurs to me, looking at the results so far, that this is actually a poll to determine who on my flist watches due South and who watches Highlander. I don't think that accounts for every vote, but it's definitely entertaining.

1. I have picked 10 male celebrities and 10 female celebrities that I find attractive.

2. Every day, I will make a poll and you'll have to vote for the celebrity you find the LEAST attractive (not so much who you don't like personally, but who you do not find hot).

3. After about 24 hours, the poll will be closed and the individual with the most votes will be disqualified. Then there will then be a new poll with the remaining contestants.

4. After ten days, there will be one winner (each)!

( Twenty attractive people under the cut! Or at least I think so. I'm aware that my taste in dudes is hilarious. Also, I could have done this entirely with women, SO MANY AWESOME WOMEN I FIND ATTRACTIVE. Anyway. )

This looks like the most enjoyable meme ever, and everyone should repost it. :D

Based entirely on my personality (so block what I really look like out of your mind), hunt down a "played by" who you think would best represent me. Reply here with the picture or link.

ol: meme

I plan to actually be productive today, but first -- the WIP meme! Happily I organize them by fandom or I would never find anything.

Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

(Carmilla) alternate ending
(DL) the magician's mark
(dS) Burning Down the House
(dS) Neutral Zone
(dS) The Windhover
(dS-DCU) FRASER IS SUPERMAN
(DW) mad Ten
(DW) Such Deliberate Disguises
(DW) The Care and Feeding of Your Atomic Bomb
(DW) TIME WAAAAR
(HL) Look On My Works, Ye Mighty, And Despair
(HL-SV) A Business Proposition
(HL-WC) fusion fic
(HL-YW) Gathering
(HSM) Even If We're Miles (and Miles and Miles) Apart
(Narnia) queer Edmund
(Narnia) The Möbius Queen
(Narnia-YW) Wardrobe
(SV) Break
(Twilight) oh godddddd WHAT
(WC) ot3 fic!

In conclusion, I want to cross Smallville and Young Wizards over with everything (except each other) and yes, I do have both a High School Musical fic and a Twilight fic. In my defense they're both about queering the fuck out of the texts.

Also, IDK, there may have been a bit in the meme that got edited out in repetition about how you're allowed to ask what any of the fics are about? You can absolutely do that bit; we all know I am ridiculous and like to talk about my writing.

On the twelfth day of Christmas,

ariastar sent to me...

Twelve washbabies drumming

Eleven hobbits piping

Ten methos a-leaping

Nine muppets dancing

Eight plantagenets a-milking

Seven dystopias a-swimming

Six cylons a-writing

Five le-e-e-es miserables

Four black books

Three black holes

Two young wizards

...and a shakespeare in a historical geekery.

I realize this is not a real entry, but 'tis the season, and also, TEN METHOS A-LEAPING. I am extra fond of my interests right now.

It is snowing again! My Yuletide has the shape of an actual plot and is coming along nicely! I can't stop listening to

nextian's hilarious Ode to Jamie Crawford! The world is a lovely place, so I have decided that it is time for this meme that is going around:

If you were asked to pick one scene, one shot, one detail, one moment of some kind out of all the things I've made and say "This, this, for whatever reason, I remember, this is something that struck home with me, that I wanted to keep," what would it be?

A question: what is the general protocol for the original things that are written for NaNoWriMo? Do we hoard them jealously in the faint hope that we may one day publish them? Do we post them proudly for the world to see? I mean, I am not even properly signed up for NaNo because I am in the hoarding camp, but I will probably be throwing my novel at people in emails, and I am at least in theory interested in seeing other people's work too. I ... realize that if there was a question, I have in fact lost it in the shuffle. Uh, basically, what is the kosher writing distribution here?

And a meme: Comment with a fandom and I will tell you my

› favorite character
› least favorite character
› prettiest character
› character I wanna marry
› favorite pairing
› favorite episode
› unpopular opinion

Despite the tried-and-true cheering-up methods of dressing snazzy, having hot chocolate, reading comfort stories, and enthusiastically tackling the slush pile, my brain is still having one of those days where I cannot stop overthinking and being anxious about nearly everything. Writing ridiculous fic may be the ticket, but in the meantime, it seems like everyone is having a rubbish November so far, and so I propose:

IMPROMPTU ROUNDS OF MARRY-SHAG-CLIFF! Ask me characters! Ask me for characters! Interrogate me on why I'd ever think marrying x would be a valid life choice! I realize that midafternoon on a Thursday is a ridiculous time for this sort of thing, but hell, this can be an all-day party. Have at it.

Real life update pending, to be made at a point when I have done some sorting out of all the homesickness and joy and relief I'm dealing with, and possibly also at the point when I have even become close to glutting the need I have to just sort of mash up happily against my friends and not stop hugging them. In the meantime I have nefarious plans to go into town for hot chocolate and Pamela Dean's Tam Lin, because I am a bit of a masochist sometimes.

Also, a meme:

Out of utter curiosity, if I was chained up in your attic/study/basement/library/secret lair, and I had to write you one story, what would you request? (demand?) Or alternatively, what's something you always hoped I'd write but know is never going to happen?

ol: meme

While I was in airplanes, everyone started talking about this Female Character Flowchart. I think whenever I want to feel ragey, the quickest way to do it would be to whip out this flowchart and follow my favorite characters to some boxed-in conclusion. (The best one was Delenn. She ended up on the 'biological timebomb' square. I shrieked and threw metaphorical popcorn at the screen.) And wow I am time-lagged because I don't have the mental wherewithal to talk about why the flowchart is stupid and absurd, so instead, some linking and memetic reactions:

The Female Character Yenta Meme: Comment with a description of your favorite character and/or pairing kinks. If you only want certain media (television, books, movies, RPF, comics...) feel free to specify. Sit back and wait for lovin'! AND/OR comment on other people's descriptions with female characters or at-least-one-woman-including-ships who fulfill their character and/or pairing kinks. This is basically the BEST IDEA EVER and I have been staring starry-eyed at the comment threads. Go forth! I will go forth too when I am less dazed.

And, truncated text of a lovely meme: This post is a chance for me to go through my DW/LJ icons and post the ones that I have that feature female characters, whether by themselves, with other women, with men, or simply as part of a group (which wouldn't be whole without them). Why? Because the thing is, these women are all awesome, in their own unique ways.

( Icons of ladies! Alas I don't have nearly as many as I like. But that is my perpetual icon lament. )
