Cryptic request

This concerns mostly the Middleman watchers (Middleviewers?): I need both nicknames Ida would use and curses that would be suitable for the Middleman. Care to give me a few prompts?

Writing a fic, are we?

Nicknames Ida would use: Hash puppy, Dullface...and I'm out.

Curses the Middleman would use: Grapes of Wrath! (Wait, I think he used that one.) Great Gatsby! The Sun Also Rises! Joe Montana! Bridge to Terabithia! Chronicles of Narnia! Prisoner of Azkaban! Surgeon General's Warning!

The list is infinite.

*whistles*

Incidentally, do you beta-read? I have to warn you, though, it might just be the most crackilicious idea I ever had in my life.

And thank you for the suggestions, especially the MM ones are very inspired!

I do not beta-read since I don't read fic, sorry! I will gladly look over original fiction, though.

Glad you like the MM ones! Pretty much anything will work if it has the right sound. I'm actually really surprised they haven't used "Chronicles of Narnia!"

Hee! ...drawing a blank, though.

Oh, and I think Middleman watchers are called...Middlefans (http://middlefan.com/).

I just discovered over on TWoP that you are watching and liking TRUE BLOOD. Since it is up there with MIDDLEMAN in the race for Best New Show of 2008 IMO, I am feeling like we should start a Good Taste in TV club or something.

Did you post the MM fic yet?

It's slowly growing in my mind. It's a crossover between MM, X-Files and Heroes where characters are concerned, I can say that much. :)

TV club: inigo, funky_donut and I have found a small community, where we chat about TV - True Blood among other things. Please drop by, it's fun, and we're not many people yet:
We Three Witches (http://community.livejournal.w_3_witches).

May I say that I was glad to read your name in the spoiler thread? It has all been "I don't want this storyline, it could separate Bill and Sookie." and "I want Sam to be the murderer, because then he won't be between Bill and Sookie." for weeks. I know countless shippers who are completely sane, normal beings, why do I always catch the wack ones?

(Oh, and funky and inigo aren't spoiled for the murderer, so shhh! ;))

Thanks for the invite. I will definitely drop by to talk TV with three of the most entertaining MInet ladies!

And I should amend my previous statement, I don't LOVE True Blood either, but with the exception of MM, it is the only show this past year that has me running to the TV to watch it the night it airs. I want to know what's going to happen. I am intrigued. I had a similar reaction to the pilot. I didn't particularly enjoy it, but I watched it twice and then vowed to give the series a chance. It's got something. Characters, yes, like you say, also a real sense of place.

But I should bring this over to We Three Witches...

We'd love to see you over there, but it's nice ot have you around again in general.

And I should amend my previous statement, I don't LOVE True Blood either

My enjoyment has been greatly improved since the pilot, to be honest. I just never wrote about it again. I've been kinda busy, unfortunately, that's why the journal suffered a little. I should probably post an update. :)

I agree, though, I think TB is the only new show I'm still watching. I dropped Fringe faster than glowing coals, it was so incredibly boring.
