girlanachronismWhat is this now? A delightful, amusing timesink? The temporal equivalent of a black hole? Very much my sort of thing?
Hell yeah.
Pick your 6 favorite fandoms and answer the questions (don't look at the questions before). Six favourite? Mon cherie you must be kidding me. I'm a fandom whore. Lets just go with six favourite at this point in time, shall we?
1. The Mighty Boosh
2. IT Crowd
3. Black Books
4. Fakenews
5. Watchmen
6. Star Trek
01. Who is your favourite character from #6?
SPOCK. Spock love all the way baby. From the original series to the brand new 150% more angsty-eyes MkII model, Spock is the greatest. Green blooded sex on legs.
02. Who is your least favourite character from #4?
Oh, that's way harsh, cos they aren't even characters. I've never really liked Aasif very much. He tries a little too hard sometimes.
03. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include?
HA. it would involve a MINDFUCK that's what. First of all, Vince would have to go be Adrians boytoy otherwise Rorsharch would kill his immoral, deviant little crossdressing ass, and Howard would probably join them, making for the oddest menage a trois in the world. Bollo would have an instant fued with Bubastis, Bob Fossil would be dead in two minutes no matter who he encountered. Naboo would sell Dan weed. Jon would spend weeks trying to work out what Tony Harrison actually is and why the Moon is suddenly a living, breathing, talking alabaster retard.
04. Who is your favourite ship from #1?
Vince/Howard. Pure absolute love. It's criminal, how good their chemistry is.
05. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be?
Bernard Black and Bones. C'mon. How awesome would that be? I can't even describe it to you or your eyes might start bleeding. All I can say is that it would involve swearing, and drinking, and complaining, and swearing, and drinking, and table sex on a pile of books, and did I mention drinking?
06. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what?
John Oliver. Because he can combine absurdism, sarcasm, satire and English adorableness without missing a beat. And he's fucking fearless.
07. If you could change one thing about #2's plotline, what would you change?
Have Richmond and Roy marry each other drunk in Vegas, leading to a Goth-On-Nerd showdown between Moss and Richmond for Roy's affection while he howls from the sidelines "but I'm NOT GAY" and Jen complains "neither are they, but that doesn't seem to be stopping them. Oh, shut up, they're taking their shirts off. OH GOD."
08. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5, and why you like the relationship between them.
Dan and Adrian. I just get the feeling that Dan looks at Adrian (at first at least) like he's this amazing, shining creature and he's not sure why this man bothers to be his friend but he does and it feels good. And Adrian is so genuinely fond of Dan, his broken and battered innocence, his tragically forgettable sweetness, like a reminder of the beauty and value of the induvidual when he's losing his grip on that concept very fast.
09. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from #1 and #3 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be?
Oh dear. Probably Bernard, because Vince and Howard always have Naboo there to save their sorry asses. Plus, Old Gregg would never let his wifey drown. Except I'd regret it later, because Bernard would be complaining that I took too long and I didn't bring any whiskey and I'd just be thinking "bugger, I could be snuggling in between an electro poof and a jazz maverick for 'warmth' right about now..."
10. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for #6, what would the character be like and what would their role be?
Uh...tough one. Perhaps... another female character. I love my pretty spaceboys, but we need a little less testosterone overload. Someone a little wild, to contrast with Uhura. I don't know, really. Gah. Epic fail on my part.
11. What happens in your favourite episode of show #2?
Jen wants to know what's behind the door. She's not allowed to open the door. Absolutely forbidden. Except she does.
Richmonds not in his room he's out of his room why is he out of his room not supposed to be why is he not in his room?
12. If you could kill off one of the characters of #1, who would it be and how would you do it?
Head Shaman. Accidently killed off by Saboo, who was aiming the catapault filled with burning shrapnel and Vince's old boots at Tony Harrison, but was distracted by a large albino pelican. The fiery mass then struck the Head Shaman, who was wandering around in a daze after going to cross the road and getting a whiff of petrol fumes. His last words would be "and that's when I realised, we don't need skin!"
13. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose?
#3. I want to steal every one of those books. That place is actually alive, I swear it. The bookshelves will teach me the secrets of the universe.
14. So, I saved the best question for last. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
What, just the one? Fuck that. I'll go with one from each, how 'bout that? Seriously, you're not getting a better offer. Deal.
O-ok. From the Mighty Boosh, Vince. If you need why explained, I don't wish to know you.
From the IT Crowd, probably Roy, just because I already have one Noel Fielding, and their is something so adorable about his accent and his lack of social skills and his good natured epic fails at everything.
From Black Books, Bernard. There has never been a sexier irish alcoholic semi-hobo bookshop owner. He's a bitter bastard and I love him for it. The darkness of his humour is glorious.
From Fakenews, John Oliver. Queen Mary might be a little on the prissy side, but he's the funniest smartest one there (excepting Stephen and Jon, but I couldn't split up those two, not even in my imagination)
From the Watchmen... Dan. My adorkable sweetheart with the zero self-esteem. Sure Adrian is shiny, but there is no way he's interested in girls. Ever. Maybe we can rope him in for a threeway.
And finally, aboard the USS Enterprise... damn it! Don't make me choose between Chekov and Scotty and Bones! I... they're all so gorgeous! How dare you! Fine. fine. Chekov. I pick Chekov. (Why not Spock, I hear you all gasp? Because he belongs with Uhura, or else with Kirk. I couldn't destroy that. Besides, with him I think a beautiful friendship would be somehow... better.)

Re: catapault sample drabble whatsit for lulz. i've never done booshfic before. please don't hurt me
on 2009-05-24 02:00 pm (UTC)It makes me really happy to hear you say that after you read it through all at once. I'm always freaked out that by the end of the story I've completely changed writing style/characterisation/plot, lol...
Re: catapault sample drabble whatsit for lulz. i've never done booshfic before. please don't hurt me
on 2009-05-24 02:09 pm (UTC)IT ACTUALLY OFFENDS ME THAT YOU COULD BE AT ALL CONCERNED ABOUT THE AWESOMENESS OF THIS FIC. Some things are just self-evident. Th brilliance of your writing is one of them.
I'm going to stop complimenting you now before I embarass myself and/or we end up married by the standards of several cultures.

on 2009-05-24 02:57 pm (UTC)Oh no you didn't! *grins* I have so been waiting for that!
Oh, and your angst infected my brain, because my itunes was playing 'Aeons' by the presets, and during the length of the song I did this:
“The great confuser.” Howard knows he sounds bitter. “What are you, Vince? King of the Mods? Goth princess, punk prince? Or are you still one of the sunshine people, Vince? Mowgli in flares? Because I don’t know, no sir, I don’t know you.”
Vince doesn’t reply at first, and then Howard notices a growing smudge around wide blue eyes.
Oh.
“Whatever you want, Howard. I’ll be whatever you want me to be.” Words coming out in a breathy whimper. Vince grabs his hand, and his grip reminds Howard of a starving sparrow, a quivering matchstick man. He’s crying. “Howard? Please…”
Oh no.
and this:
Nowadays Howard can see the attraction of those strobe lights, if only because Vince will play in them for hours, spinning around and unfailingly delighted at every neon web that darts from glittering boot or spangled sleeve.
Stop infecting my brain with bunnies! I'm supposed to be sleeping right about now!

I do believe you are teasing me with these too-short tidbits. xx

on 2009-05-25 02:40 pm (UTC)I don't mean to. It's just that more than three sentences is pressing the limits of my attention span.
:(
Sorry.
(Also, OMG your reaction is like the best reward ever)

on 2009-05-26 01:20 pm (UTC)Life beyond the interwebs? Sacrilege!
Though I will say this: these little drabbles are breeding.
And converging around a central catapualt and fiery-death-of-head-shaman theme.
If by some miracle they become a proper fic, I shall give it to you immediately.
