Two Memes  
First, from [info]_medley_

What kind of thinker am I? )

Second, from [info]joonscribble

Everyone has things they blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by asking me about something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on slash, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.

Icon meme (because I'm still sick and have nothing better to do)  
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick four of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. And so it goes.


Stolen from two people...

TV Meme (Because I have the Flu and nothing better to do)  
Stolen from [info]joonsribble, who is an enabler. ;-)

Empire Magazine has revealed its list of the "50 Greatest TV Shows" ever. Below is the list and here be the rules.

1. Bold the shows you've watched every episode of, or as near as makes no difference.
2. Italic the shows you've seen at least some episodes of. (I'm going by: seen a couple all the way through)


Can you tell I don't watch a lot of TV? )

Character Meme part the second  
The second part of the Character Meme I posted awhile back. I was looking through my file folders, found it and decided to finish it up. Characters were sort with the randomizer since I'd already seen the questions before I chose my characters.

Choose 12 characters...
1. Carlos Ramirez (Dresden Files Bookverse)
2. Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly)
3. Daniel Jackson (Stargate SG-1)
4. Dr. Forrester (my Somnus story)
5. Karrin Murphy (Dresden Files Bookverse)
6. Jack Harkness (The Fandom of Jack Harkness, referred to as 'Jack' in the questions)
7. Jack O'Neill (Stargate SG-1, referred to as 'O'Neill' in the questions)
8. Fay Dresden (My mini!Dresdens 'verse)
9. Harry Dresden (Dresden Files TV)
10. Hrothbert of Bainbridge (Bob) (Dresden Files TV)
11. Rodney McKay (Stargate Atlantis)
12. Rose Tyler (Doctor Who)

Answer 24 questions... )

Character Question Meme  
Stolen from [info]gusthemoose's Murphy RP journal and manipulating for my own purposes. (Muhahaha!)

Character Questions Meme
1. Go here to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 100. DO THIS FIRST.

2. Choose a character that I write or have written, be it a canon person (Mal), an OC (Dr. Forrester, no matter how small) or whatever.

3. Comment with the character and the numbers, and then I will answer the corresponding questions from here.

If you choose Mal or Fay or Graylin (or anyone of a minor age), any questions inappropriate to ask a child will be answered as though they were adults. You can choose a couple of characters if you want.

Let's Meme again, like we did last summer...  
From [info]donutsweeper.


Tell me the title of a story I haven't written, details optional, and I'll give you a summary. If you're really lucky, I might even write the story for you.

Feel free to be as specific to characters or fandoms as you wish and to suggest a few.

WIP Meme  
Taken from [info]joonscribble.


When you see this, post a little weensy excerpt from as many random works-in-progress as you can find lying around. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.


A very selected selection because if I did excerpts from all of them, we'd be here until next January. Keep in mind these aren't edited yet are subject to changes. Also, don't hold your breath for their completion. ;-)

*steal* *borrows* *shamelessly copies*  
Taken from [info]_medley_, a meme to kill time until the Nanaimo bars set.

How many times has someone on your friends list posted about something and you were really confused, but you didn't want to ask because you knew you SHOULD know? How many times have you felt 'guilty' asking a close LJ friend a question that should be 'obvious'?

Well, here's your chance. If you've missed a few things, missed an entry and are confused, ask me anything. Even something EXTREMELY basic, like where I live! I'm not going to get irritated at any of the questions -we've all missed things before, so ask away!


And a colour thing which suits me rather well:

you are lavender
#E6E6FA

Your dominant hue is blue, making you a good friend who people love and trust. You're good in social situations and want to fit in. Just be careful not to compromise who you are to make them happy.

Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working.

Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

A meme before I'm off to be philosophical...  
[info]joonscribble is my meme pimp today.

Name a fandom we both know and I'll tell you:

1. The first character I fell in love with.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now.
3. The character everyone else loves but I don't.
4. The character I love but everyone else hates.
5. The character I used to love but don't anymore.
6. The character I would shag any time.
7. The character I want to be like.
8. The character I want to slap.
9. The pairing that I love.
10. The pairing I despise.


Remember that I do like other fandoms besides the ones I write fiction for, so feel free to ask for those as well. Check my interests or, if in doubt, ask and I'll let you know if I know it or not. :-)

Six Degrees Fic: Ray Kowalski to the Ninth Doctor  
Title: Time Heals Quite a Few Things
Characters: Ray (Stanley) Kowalski, Nine, Rose, Jackie, Fraser, Diefenbaker
Summary: Ray finds a little catharsis. Written for [info]joonscribble's prompt for the Six Degrees meme. She wanted Ray Kowalski and The Ninth Doctor.
Spoilers: Due South Season 3 "Seeing is Believing"
Author's Notes:: I had to get my brain working for this one. For some reason, the less cracktastic pairings were harder for me to write. Done a bit of jiggery-pokery with timelines for this to work. I've pretended that Due South Season 3 took place at roughly the same time as Doctor Who Series 1, despite the former being eight years earlier. Ray is approximately six years old in the first bit. As usual, total crack.

Detecting crime in progress was the Mountie's 9th or 10th sense. )

Six Degrees Ficlet: Jack Harkness to Hrothbert of Bainbridge  
Title: La Belle Dame Sans Merci
Characters: Jack Harkness, Harry Dresden, Toshiko Sato, Hrothbert of Bainbridge, Winnifred Ididn'tgiveherlastname
Summary: Jack finds himself a quest. Written for [info]_medley_'s prompt for the Six Degrees meme. She wanted Jack Harkness and Hrothbert of Bainbridge.
Author's Notes: This one was trickier to write despite being a slightly easier connection than the previous prompt. It got wordy on me. I hope it ends up being coherent. The poem Jack mentions in the first part can be found here.

Six Degrees Ficlet: Buck Frobisher to Inara Serra  
Title: The Hat
Characters: Buck Frobisher, Julie Frobisher, Inara Serra, Malcolm Reynolds
Summary: A little family history. Written for [info]donutsweeper's prompt for the Six Degrees Meme
Author's Notes: Completely cracked, as is wont to happen when connecting a 20th century Mountie to a 25th Century prostitute. Only 5 ficlets because I thought it was getting repetitive.

Meme (Call now and you get a free toaster!)  
Stolen from [info]joonscribble. Because who doesn't love a good meme that could potentially be impossible to do? :D

The Six Degrees Of Separation Meme:

Give me two characters from any of my fandoms, and I will write you up to six ficlets connecting them to each other somehow. (e.g.: 'Six Degrees Of Separation From Harry Dresden to Malcolm Reynolds', 'Six Ways Rose Doesn't Know She Knows Benton Fraser', or 'From Jack Harkness to Hrothbert of Bainbridge In Six Steps Or Less'.) Obvious or not, your choice. Crossovers or not, your choice.
