That character meme
May. 28th, 2010 10:58 pmIt comes back, again and again, like a bad penny. (Does that bad penny idiom exist in English languages? Is it still in use? Random aside, sorry.) So, as I have new shows:
Comment with one of my fandoms, and I'll reply with:
01. The first character I first fell in love with
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't
04. The character I love that everyone else hates
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer
06. The character I would shag anytime
07. The character I'd want to be like
08. The character I'd slap
09. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise
Please, hit me.

Five Questions Meme
Apr. 4th, 2010 07:30 pm![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
snopes_faith gave me the following questions:( What would be appealing about life as a Tapir? )
( Where in the world would you like to visit that you haven't yet? )
( What film has affected your life most deeply? )
If you want me to ask you five questions, tell me your favourite character from one of your favourite books.
Fifteen characters meme
Mar. 28th, 2010 11:45 amI can't resist...
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.
I promise I'll answer them this time?

Poetry Meme: Let's Be Original
Mar. 7th, 2010 03:43 pmWhen you see this, post a poem on your journal.
For all your questing beast needs:
JABBERWOCKY
For all your questing beast needs:
JABBERWOCKY
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Comment with the name of a female character & I'll tell you why I love her.
Since both my interests and my tags aren't entirely up to date, take a look at this ( list for sources I might be familiar with )

drabble meme
Jan. 16th, 2010 08:29 pmTaken from yahtzee63:
The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing, in any fandom I am familiar with*. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. (If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead.)
Notes: I will write if you want me to write, but I'd suggest choosing a drawing, since I'm far better at that; and I won't do incest pairings (both biological and psychological).
*because my interest list is not exactly up to date: the fandoms I'm willing to do include Avatar: The Last Airbender, Fringe, Southland, Alias, V (new version of the 80s TV show, not the Alan Moore comic), Lost, Heroes Seasons 1 and 2, Flash Forward, Mad Men, Doctor Who (would prefer New Who, but for Old Who, Three and Seven are possible), The Sarah Jane Adventures, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Being Human, The Good Wife, Glee, New Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek - The Reboot, Star Trek DS9, The Middleman, X Files, Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies, Carnivale, True Blood, Leverage, Chuck, Merlin, The Attolia Series, The Parasol Protectorate. If you think of anything else I might know, just hit me with it.

Oct. 29th, 2009 03:10 pmAnother meme taken from the_grynne!
1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands [fannish etc.] that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2) Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.
3) When someone guesses correctly, strikethrough the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.
( Can You Tell I'm Bored? )

Napped from the_grynne:
1. Pick 10 of your favorite books or series.
2. Post the first sentence of each book. (If one sentence seems too short, post two or three!)
3. Let everyone try to guess the titles and authors of your books.
I followedthe_grynne's example and used the first chapter instead of any prologues - at least in one case the latter would have been too confusing.
( The event on which this fiction is founded has been supposed, by Dr. Darwin, and some of the physiological writers of Germany, as not of impossible occurrence. )
To be a bit more helpful: three of these are literary fiction, one is a classic, one is conceivably a bestseller, two are mysteries, three could be considered historical fiction, two are fantasy and one might be fantasy, one is horror and two are science fiction.

In conclusion: meme!
Aug. 16th, 2009 03:52 pmBecause I really want to use this journal again, that meme everyone has already done:
Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post.
My Life According To Doctor Who

Choose your genre show, answer the questions using episode titles from that show--if possible, don't repeat any.
I had a hard time deciding between DW, Alias and BSG, but DW's titles worked by far the best.

The first five people to comment in this post get to request a sketch of a subject/character of their choosing from me. In return, they are asked to post this in their journal (the LOLs coming from drawing what you can't draw are part of the fun)
You should probably stay away from requesting anything erotic, since that might become very awkward, but other than that, fire away!

Remember that character meme?
Sep. 7th, 2008 11:52 amBecause I thought it was fun the first time around...
1) Make a list of 10 characters.
2) Assign each character a number.
3) Without telling anyone who's on the list or the character's assigned number, get questions from your flist about what they'd like to know about them. IE: "If 3 and 4 were trapped in a cave together with only a blanket and a toothpick, what would they do?" (The more random the better!)
4) Post the answers and who was who on the list.
Please, ask.
