boom de yada boom de yada boom de yada

[livejournal.com profile] isurrendered is having a three sentence ficathon! This meme continues to be the greatest thing on the internet, and the internet has Chuck and Castiel riding a dinosaur. To round off this paragraph of things that are the best, [livejournal.com profile] be_themoon wrote Will&Cassie fic for my fake show, and [livejournal.com profile] lazaefair wrote Ethan&Jake&Tracy fic for my other fake show. Yay!

Things I am not writing: 1) Will&Cass fic for my fake show, 2) an SPN casefic that starts out as an excuse to Folklore Sue a Filipino monster in, but is also a Dean/Castiel 5x04 episode tag apparently. And by 'not writing', I mean 'in the middle of writing'. Sigh. Mordred fic, will I ever finish you? And you, 'Will lives!' AU, where did my mojo for you go?

A meme from [livejournal.com profile] miakun: Comment and I'll give you three of your fandoms, then copy and paste the questions onto your journal and fill it out. I changed one question though.


NARNIA

01. The first character I fell in love with: Peter. ONCE HE WAS HIGH KING AND A LEADER OF MEN, now just an unimportant boy. Again. Aaaaangst.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: SUSAN
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Caspian. What a n00b.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: I have no idea who everyone else hates. Jadis? The Calormene in general?
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer: Peter. Sorry, dude, your sister's infinitely cooler.
06. The character I would shag anytime: King Edmund the Just
07. The character I want to be like: Edmund!
08. The character I'd slap: Caspian
09. A pairing that I love: Peter/Susan forever and ever amen.
10. A pairing that I hate: I least like Edmund/Lucy.
11. Favorite character: Susan, duh. Things always remind me of her.
12. My five favorite characters: In order, Susan, Edmund, Peter, Jadis, Lucy. Corin gets an honorable mention.
13. A pairing I used to love: Peter/Caspian, but slash quickly gave way to incest and anthrolology.
14. Which character I am most like: Caspian? I can be pretty flaky.
15. My deep, dark fandom secret: Narnia made me seriously like theology.


MERLIN

01. The first character I fell in love with: Either Arthur or Morgana, I can't remember.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Gaius. At first boring father figure, but then morally ambiguous secretive creep!
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Merlin
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: Will and the Dragon. That sounds like the title of a kids' fantasy book. Will and the Dragon totally need to meet and have adventures. ...omg back, bunnies, back!
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer: Uther. I thought I'd write more fic about him and ship Uther/Morgana harder, but apparently not.
06. The character I would shag anytime: Arthurrrrr
07. The character I want to be like: Gwen
08. The character I'd slap: Merlin
09. A pairing that I love:

10. A pairing that I hate: Merlin/Arthur is pretty meh.
11. Favorite character: Gaius's eyebrows
12. My five favorite characters: Arthur, Morgana, Will, Gaius, the Dragon
13. A pairing I used to love: Merlin/Arthur
14. Which character I am most like: Will
15. My deep, dark fandom secret: I think Merlin fandom needs more creepy fics. Also, I don't like it when people call him the Slash Dragon.


POOPERNATURAL

01. The first character I fell in love with: Dean! lol what is this pattern. Apparently I like them blond, macho, and rife with daddy issues? Actually the first character I fell in love with is probably Castiel, purely on hearsay before he even showed up.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: John
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Sam. He's become more interesting now that he's stopped whining about wanting to be normal though. No, Sam, you don't get to have nice things.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: ANNA. AND BECKY MOTHERFUCKING ROSEN.
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer: I'm pretty new to all this, so I still love everyone.
06. The character I would shag anytime: Dean
07. The character I want to be like: Ellen, of course. HARVELLES FUCK YEAH.
08. The character I'd slap: Most of them at some point. Except Becky. Becky I love forever.
09. A pairing that I love: Dean/Castiel. Someone whose fic I was reading has a tag called 'dean/castiel is ruining my life' and I kind of relate.
10. A pairing that I hate: Gabriel/anyone
11. Favorite character: the single tear
12. My five favorite characters: Chuck, Dean, Castiel, Anna, BECKY
13. A pairing I used to love: I'm still riding my first ship here. I'm beginning to understand Wincest though.
14. Which character I am most like: Chuck. But also Becky, because hello.
15. My deep, dark fandom secret: Castiel/Anna is my second favorite ship. That's not actually a secret. I dunno, I'll have secrets eventually I'm sure and then I'll tell you all about them.

Also I have an internship. Life is magnificent, thanks. ETA: Panfandom Chinese New Year party!

SORRY BUSY STARING AT THAT ANIMATION OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

I am okay if Series 3 is just them making out like that over and over and over again with pretty lighting.

I agree with both these sentences!

Oh my god. You wrote Merlin fic. My life is now on stand-still until I read all of it.

(Hi. I'm doing fandomy things again. 'Cause I got bored with RL, obviously. So Merlin. And really, by Merlin I mean "Arthur and Gwen, being awesome and adorable, with Merlin and Morgana snarkiness thrown in." Until the next shiny thing comes along... How are you?)

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-02-14 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
lol that might a long stand-still, I wrote a metric fuckload of it. Merlin like ate my life. Currently it is Supernatural that is eating my life. It's my post-S2!Merlin rebound fandom.

It's nice to hear from you again! And especially that you are into Merlin! Merlin is such a pile of glitter and crack, I cannot even. How goes the writing program quest?

[identity profile] zempasuchil.livejournal.com 2010-02-14 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
YAY! congratulations on the internship!!! What sort is it?

Also this meme looks like fun. hit me! (Merlin totally needs more creepy fics, I am with you there. And I dunno how secret it is that Narnia made you love theology :)) )

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-02-14 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I'm working with a Central Asia health research center, managing website content and expanding into research, with the possibility of doing some event programming I think. Huzzah public health!

lol okay fair point. And one can also say that theology is what made me seriously love Narnia!

Narnia, Merlin, and Avatar.

*sigh* that is one of the most romantic kisses ever... <3

Oh Peter ;_; the eternal tragedy of going from Narnia to England tugs at my heartstrings for always. I don't blame Peter for being angry about it. But he has Ed at his side too- I want to draw them all the time! Narnia is owning me and December is an eternity away D=

Also, season 3 of Merlin is too long away. IMPATIENT.

Oh man, that fake TV show meme is awesome. D: WHY DO I MISS ALL THE GOOD THINGS.

I totally don't even have time to do exist, fannishly, but I feel like doing a meme, so hit me with this one plz?

[identity profile] anjali-organna.livejournal.com 2010-02-14 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
*rubs hands together* I look forward to reading it. Some of Merlin fandom is...scary, so it's always nice to find authors I like writing for it. Actually, a lot about Merlin irritates the hell out of me, so I live in a happy place where I fast-forward a lot and sigh over Arthur being knightly and prattish and Gwen being sensible and adorable. Sometimes in the background there is snark by Merlin, Morgana and occasionally Morgause killing something.

Aha. Um, I actually decided to hold off on writing programs and went into publishing. Like I said, my attention span is short. But yay for making books!

What is your internship about?

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-02-14 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Some of Merlin fandom is hilariously scary. Are you talking about the politics or the fics? I try to make a point of punctuating my "OMG DID THAT JUST HAPPEN" moments with a "XD LOLZ!" instead of a D-: .

Yay for making books indeed! I'll be focusing on health in Central Asia, currently focusing on website management with expansion into research, and possibly some PR maybe.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-02-14 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
True love's kiss, is there anything romanticker?

I know, for serious, it slays me how these things are not happening in like FIVE MINUTES OR SOMETHING. DAWN TREADER MOVIE AND S3 MERLIN, DO WANT.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-02-14 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
You haven't missed anything! This thing is still going strong, and in fact is probably just gathering momentum right now.

A TV show about!: All this young heir to a great power wants to do is ~be normal~, so they run away and try to start a new life somewhere. It kind of works, but kind of doesn't, and home is hunting them down.

[identity profile] mrinalinee.livejournal.com 2010-02-14 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
First things first! Congratulations on your internship! I uh, fail at reading comprehension sometimes. WHERE YOU AT LASS? Or what sort of thing are you doing, if that's too intrusive a question. I am ridiculously nosy, sorry?!

2) Oh man, so awesome! I am trying to decide if it would be worth my time to exclude dinosaurs and space ships and TRAGIC DOOMED ROMANCE, idk.

3) But! Apparently I also fail at saying what I mean/not being stupidly awkward over teh intarwebz? I meant the other meme, the one you have just completed. C-can I do both? :D? CAN I MAYBE USE EMOTICONS A LITTLE MORE FREQUENTLY?

[identity profile] moment-of-sen.livejournal.com 2010-02-15 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
It's so romanical!

Argh, I know, I've seen a few pics of DT and I shall be shipping Ed/Caspian without remorse.

Also, want Arthur to find out about Merlin's magic, and an epic Merlin v. Morgana throwdown. Waaaaaaant.

Uh, both politics and fics? I dunno, I saw some things re: Gwen (whom I adore, obvi) that made me want to back away slowly.

Oooh that sounds so interesting! Wait, are you thinking of moving back (have you already)?

[livejournal.com profile] isurrendered is like the greatest thing ever. I WANT TO PLAY.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-02-15 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah Gwen gets flack because she's getting in the way of Merlin and Arthur's big gay love. :( I just want her to make out forever with Arthur in very contrived ways, okay!

Naw, I'm still around and I plan to stick around. The internship is with a center in my school.

isurrendered is OMGAWESOME. How about a TV show about a toy shop, with a secret backroom that sells, hmm, more magical toys?

THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR DINOSAURS

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-02-15 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I'm still in NY, and my internship is with a center at my school doing health in Central Asia. Web content manager, and research, perhaps expanding into PR? I dunno, there is wiggle room, which is nice, and doesn't seem extremely super-intense. WHAT ABOUT YOURSELF??

LOLOL I WONDERED THAT ACTUALLY, but this TV meme is totes fun so DO BOTH, YES. Your three fandoms: Merlin, Band of Brothers, and Lucifer.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-02-15 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
I cannot wait to start shipping Ed/Cas, omg. I cannot wait to write fic about the sea, omg! I wonder if Peter and Susan will make an appearance in the beginning or end, or maybe even in a flashback. I don't think so, but I REALLY HOPE SO.

[identity profile] moment-of-sen.livejournal.com 2010-02-15 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
OMG that would be so good, even if it was just at the start, with Peter going to study and Susan going to America with their parents. I can't wait to see how they get the bit of going through the painting. The effects should be delicious.

Bandits are roving in the forest? Time for makeouts! Uthur's being an ass? Makeouts will distract us! Arthur's sick with the pox? Obviously, the only way to be cured is by MAKING OUT.

Well very cool. Go forth and do good!

I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE.

[identity profile] animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Caspian! That is why I love Caspian, because he is a dork. Book!Caspian is way more hilarious than movie!Caspian. Somewhere I have a partially-written fic about the daydreams Caspian had where he saved the world a lot. Because if he wrote fic it would be self-insert Gary Stu stuff where everyone fell in love with him.

Also also I am with you on there needing to be creepier Merlin fics!

(Commenting!)

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
LET THE GAMES BEG--oh wait, they've already begun. RUN, FORREST, RUN!!

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I bet movie!Caspian as a young 'un would also write Gary Stu fic XD wherein he totally bangs Queen Susan and is BFFs with the High King.

Yes! How can we creepify Merlin? Maybe more fics about Mordred, he is creepy by default.

Harry Potter, Narnia, and Merlin!

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I would also like to say for the record that I like how colorful and pretty our Susan&Mary fic has become.

[identity profile] animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh, yes. And more that get into Merlin's bad moral choices, and more that get into the people who don't get saved.

[identity profile] animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Me too! I had forgotten how nice and pretty it is.
