Okay, fine, I'm joining the lemmings.

Okay, I have finally caved to the temptation of this meme. I'm a bit frightened since I intentionally picked a random list and the hints I've gotten warn of 'ships. Gah. Snagged from half of my friends list:

First write down the names of 12 characters. Don't even click on the cut 'til you've done this.

I'm specifying the shows all characters are from, even the obvious ones.

1. Elisa Maza (Gargoyles)
2. Sado "Chad" Yasutora (Bleach)
3. Cam Watanabe (PR Ninja Storm)
4. Teal'c (SG-1)
5. Lisa Davis (Tomorrow People)
6. Dawn Summers (BtVS)
7. Dr. Theodore Morris (Now and Again)
8. Miyazawa Yukino (Kare Kano)
9. Han Solo (Star Wars)
10. May "Mayday" Parker (Spider-Girl)
11. Cordelia Chase (Angel)
12. Gregory House (House)


Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to?

Dawn/Cordelia? Surprisingly, no, although they are in the same universe already. And not really, because in relation to Cordelia, Dawn would seem too much like a "kid sister" to me for the pairing to really work. I'd be interested to read a fic with the two of them interacting - actually, honorh did that already in "Dawn and the Dead" very well.

Do you think Four is hot? How hot?

On fire. Let's just say I completely agree with the idea behind the Society To Keep Teal'c Shirtless As Much As Possible.

What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?

Twelve = Gregory House, who's in his 40's, in the United States, and way too smart to let that happen. Eight = Miyazawa Yukino, 16 or 17, in Japan. In the interest of keeping my brain from breaking, let's just say that Arima and Yukino's father would probably try to kill House and leave it at that. Actually, Yukino would try to kill him too.

Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine?

Off the top of my head? While I think some of the author's stuff gets a little too contrived, GreatOne wrote a hysterically funny Han Solo fic, "Youthful Indiscretions." Han and Lando try a desperate heist to keep something embarrassing from going public, and naturally it doesn't work AT ALL. You can find it at fanfiction.net - http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2015113/1/

Would Two and Six make a good couple?

*blink* Chad and Dawn? Well, the language barrier would be a problem - I don't think Dawn's picked up Japanese yet - but you know, that pairing's not that insane. Of course, it's one of the less frightening random pairings this meme has brought up. *thinks* Nah.

Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?

While I gravitate towards het, Lisa Davis/Mayday Parker makes more sense to me than Lisa/Han Solo. Maybe because Lisa would drive Han crazy, and not in a good way. Lisa and Mayday would both identify with being different and kind of wanting a normal life, although May has largely pushed that option aside. I can see them balancing one another out with May's need to save others versus Lisa's caution, and Lisa's pessimism versus May's - well, not optimism, but she's got a pretty good outlook for someone with a life as nuts as hers is. I have no idea how I'd write it, but for some reason I think it'd involve meeting on a basketball court.

What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?

Since I do not want to entertain that mental image since it doesn't work, Theo would say nothing, close the door, and go try to wash his brain out.

Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic.

Cam and Mayday? Scary thing is, I actually tried a friendship crossover fic (because a pairing would not work) with them that died due to the total lack of plot and only one good scene. But hey:

"When a portal accident drops another teenage superhero into Ninja Ops, 'climbing the walls' takes on a whole new meaning for Cam."
(I know it sucks. It's a meme. I'm not putting hours of work into it.)

Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff?

No. Shows don't work, universes don't work, geographic locations don't work, characters don't work. The only way they'd even meet would have to involve the Avalon Tour and even then the circumstances would be too contrived to even buy the meeting.

Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic.

"Sound of Silence." I can see the possibility of Greg House having known Theo and the late Freddie Lizzard at one time, and the two of them getting drunk after Lizzard's funeral. Theo's guilt over Freddie's death and Freddie's betrayal, and Greg just being Greg... it might work.

What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four to deflower One?

*snicker* I just... *dies* It's not as absurd as some of these pairings, but it'd have to be in a Goliath-free universe. And it'd need some serious timeline tweaking; I certainly don't think Elisa was still a virgin when Gargoyles started. (I'm only laughing because I tried to process Elisa Maza/Teal'c and immediately came up with a LOT of similarities between Goliath and Teal'c.)

Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash?

I know of only one existing slash fic for Theo. So I wouldn't know.

Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?

A large chunk of my friends list, myself included, reads anything about Cam. "Building Family" counts as het with Cam/Trini, so there.

Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?

Draw, I don't know. I think at least half the friends list has written fic involving Cordelia, though.

Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five?

No.

What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?

Mayday? With her romantic luck? Probably the wrong name.

If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, which song would you choose?

"Basket Case" by Green Day. At least for the beginning of the manga. Yukino had a hell of a time just managing to tell Soichiro how she felt about him, much less actually following through on her decision to be herself. "Do you have the time / To listen to me whine / About nothing and everything all at once?" sums up her agonizing early on to her little sisters. So does the part about being melodramatic.

If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warnings be?

Aside from the standard OT3 and insane!ship!fic warnings: "This was most likely written while I had a 100 degree fever and was doped up on cold medication. Unless you LIKE disturbing crossover OT3 fics that are just f***ed up, TURN BACK NOW."

What might be a good pick-up line for Two to use on Ten?

I'm not far enough into Bleach to have a good enough handle on Chad, but I can't possibly see him resorting to a pickup line. He's the sort of guy who doesn't waste words AT ALL. (Even more than Oz.)

When was the last time you read a fic about Five?

Lisa fic? Well, if fikgirl's Strange Fires snippets count, recently. If they don't, it's been a while. Lisa's a hard character to write.

What is Six's super-sekrit kink?

There is no good reason for me to go blank on this, as it's actually not as scary as some of the questions, but I am just drawing a total blank on Dawn.

Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?

Yes. Drunk yes, sober maybe if the circumstances were right. Cordelia has a pulse, good taste and we all remember how going at it verbally with Xander had them jumping on each other immediately. And, um, Han Solo? Why not?

If Three and Seven get together, who tops?

Sorry, my brain stopped dead at the notion of Cam and Theo getting together.

"One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three." What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.

Elisa Maza and Han Solo are in a happy relationship until Han suddenly runs off with Teal'c. Elisa, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Cordelia Chase and a brief unhappy affair with Greg House, then follows the wise advice of Lisa Davis and finds true love with Cam Watanabe.

*dies laughing*

"Sinking 'Ships."

I might get jonathlee, athersgeo and ladyiapetus to read it - if it was a parody, because that's the only way it could work. I don't know if anyone on the friends list who knows all these characters could write it with a straight face.

How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon?

I'd go find the writers responsible and smack them.


Didn't really kick-start anything. Mostly because I spent a lot of time trying to scrub my brain clean of the mental images I was getting. Questions this 'ship-fixated should not be applied to such a random list of characters.

I agree

That's what drove me nuts about this meme. (I think we both get trooper points for trying, no matter how bendy it made our brains.)

Oh and:
A large chunk of my friends list, myself included, reads anything about Cam. "Building Family" counts as het with Cam/Trini, so there.
LOL. If that's the only Cam het you can think of, well, *giggle*. Trini's in two stories and mentioned in, I think, a grand total of four. (Utopia, Birthday Surprises, whatever-we-ended-up-calling-Nose-Knows and um, the last one? Hey Jealousy and um... um.... *blanks*

I'm sad. Yes I am.

(And I"m thinking about writing the Emma/Adam Newman fic. Eek.)

Re: I agree

[weirdweb.livejournal.com]

Well, there's plenty more than that, but I was rushing and picked the best one I could think of immediately. And Cam/Trini was one of those pairings I'd never thought of before and then went, "Hey! That would work!" when you started writing it.

I'd like to see a gen version of this meme. Some of the characters on my list just couldn't be 'shipped, but seeing them interact on a friendship (or enemy, depending) level would be fascinating.

I'm also mildly amused that when given the choice between a het pairing and a femslash pairing, the latter worked better for me, even though I don't write slash...

Re: I agree

[tptigger.livejournal.com]

Maybe we should write a gen version? :)

... y'know, I'd probably read it even if it weren't a parody. And if I knew SG-1 and Tomorrow People at all, I might actually even be convinced to try and write it. ;) Sadly, it's no more crazy than some of the other story ideas I've come up with...

Right there with you. I should also pick characters who are old enough to be picked. But, I didn't read the questions (even on your meme) until after I picked my characters.

*ponders how to improve on the meme*

[ecogryff.livejournal.com]

i tried to do it, i really did. but with the characters i picked, it just would not work. guess i picked characters that were just too diverse. bad me. and there were definitely a couple of "eek! my brain! my brain!" moments. : )
