To those of you who are awake:

[trinityofone]

I am currently responding to fic comments like a good (repentant) LJer, but I need something to distract me every once in a while or my brain will atrophy. So here's a little participatory meme-thingy (snagged from boysnoggage):

1. Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/etc. that you've had an obsessive fannish love of at some time in your life.
2. Have your friends list guess your favourite character from each item.

1. Stargate: Atlantis - Rodney McKay (wychwood)
2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Spike (ilgattopardo)
3. Angel the Series - Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (wychwood)
4. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Ford Prefect (wychwood)
5. The Chronicles of Narnia - Edmund Pevensie (soupytwist)
6. The X-Files - Fox Mulder (wychwood)
7. Star Wars - Han Solo (ilgattopardo)
8. Good Omens - Crowley (wychwood)
9. Neverwhere - Richard Mayhew (wychwood)
10. The Aubrey/Maturin Books - Stephen Maturin (wychwood)
11. His Dark Materials - Will Parry (wychwood)
12. Preacher - Cassidy (smittywing)
13. Sandman - Hob Gadling (20thcenturyvole)
14. Red Dwarf - Arnold Rimmer (20thcenturyvole)
15. The Dark Tower - Eddie Dean (soupytwist)
16. Queer as Folk (US) - Brian Kinney (godofwine)
17. Calvin and Hobbes - Hobbes (wychwood)
18. Veronica Mars - Logan Echolls (wychwood)
19. X-Men - Wolverine (ilgattopardo)
20. The Legendary Lymond Chronicles - Francis Crawford of Lymond (siegeofangels)

ETA: Oh, God. I just realized something terrible about the answers to this meme. Let me know if you catch it, too. *is a horrible person*
ETA2: jarsy got it: They're all men. That...says some interesting things, doesn't it? *hangs head in SHAME*
ETA3: Done! Good work, people! I may be a misogynist bastard, but at least I have smart friends! *vbeg*

Or! Tell me stuff! Ask me questions! Entertaaaaaaaain me!

[/patheticness] <--Oh, who am I kidding? Like that ever really ends.

I am so lazy, what is the terrible thing about the answers? Whom you fancy? And did I mention that just like the doctor in "My Hero" I am always here?

I did a real nifty quiz about my fandom loves a few months back, and my friends all failed it horribly.

[dogeared.livejournal.com]

I was literally JUST looking at that picture of JF and was all, "Look at his curly eyelashes!", and now your icon! Cute. :)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I am so lazy, what is the terrible thing about the answers? Whom you fancy?

Yes, a specific trait they all share. I will explain in more detail once some more (any!) people guess.

And did I mention that just like the doctor in "My Hero" I am always here?

Oh, shame. I fail to get that reference. *hangs head*

Still: that is a cool skill if you have it. Cool, and kinda creepy.

What was the quiz?

[wychwood]

Hey, you have good taste in fandoms :) And ahaha, I'm totally making up these guesses.

1. Stargate: Atlantis - Rodney McKay
2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Anya?
4. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Ford?
8. Good Omens - Crowley?
9. Neverwhere - The Marquis de Carabas?
10. The Aubrey/Maturin Books - Maturin?
13. Sandman - Death?
19. X-Men - Magneto?

...I got nothing *g*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I am an exploding volcano of fannish joy! ...Or something.

And: yes to 1 (duh), 4, 8, and 10. Go you!

[dogeared.livejournal.com]

I just have to say yay for X-Files, which was, like, ground zero for my fannish indoctrination. *mixes metaphors* :)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I just called myself "an exploding volcano of fannish joy" in another comment, so uh, I don't think you have to worry about mixing metaphors. ;-)

And yes: yay to X-Files! That was...well, not the first thing I was fannish about, by far, but it was the first time I knew what fandom was. Very much an indoctrination. *nods*

[mandysbitch.livejournal.com]

I am completely unfamiliar with most of those fandoms so I won't attempt to guess.

But where's the fic commentary you promised? I love commentary. More of my flist should do commentaries. I read them at work when I'm procrastinating.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes--commentary! I will work on that today. *adds to lengthy list of goals*

Here we are now: entertain us!

[ilgattopardo.livejournal.com]

I'm awake! (Funnily enough...)

I've never read/seen/heard of nos. 8-20, so I'm skipping them; as for the rest:
1. Father Dougal
2. Would it perhaps be Spike? :-)
3. See no. 2
4. I'll resist my instinct to say Marvin, since that's just me projecting, and guess (given your Anglophilia) Arthur Dent
5. Aha! Reepicheep! (Crap, I can't even remember how to spell it!) Or Puddleglum...
6. Actually I never watched it
7. Han Solo?

Re: Here we are now: entertain us!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Ahhh! I owe you comments like whoa. Give me a few minutes hours.

1. Father Dougal

Ha. No.

2. Would it perhaps be Spike?

How ever did you guess? ;-)

3. See no. 2

No, actually picked a different one there, mostly because I like to pretend that the fifth season of AtS doesn't exist.

No to 4 & 5--wychwood actually got the former.

6. Actually I never watched it

Ahh! How is this possible???

7. Han Solo?

Oui!

[20thcenturyvole.livejournal.com]

*guesses horribly*

His Dark Materiels: Lee Scoresby?
Preacher: Umm... whatshisname! The... bad guy with the big spider-like scar all over his face who is alternately sinister and hilarious! It's gotta be him.
Sandman: Delirium? Or Hob Gadling? Wait, are two guesses allowed?
Red Dwarf: Rimmer!

All guesses based on the assumption that, given previous answers, you like the sarcastic wierdos.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

His Dark Materiels: Lee Scoresby?

Love him, adore him, but there's one character I have to rank above him...

Preacher: Umm... whatshisname! The... bad guy with the big spider-like scar all over his face who is alternately sinister and hilarious! It's gotta be him.

Gah! No! *is disturbed*

Sandman: Delirium? Or Hob Gadling? Wait, are two guesses allowed?

Yes, 'cause I didn't think anyone was going to get that at all. 'Tis the second.

Red Dwarf: Rimmer!

Hells yeah!

All guesses based on the assumption that, given previous answers, you like the sarcastic wierdos.

*g* Apparently! Although that's not the tragic thing about my preferences...

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Right on 17, although wychwood just barely beat you to it. But extra special bonus points, 'cause...

I'm just assuming that you're comfortable with your misogyny?

Yeah. Isn't that awful? I lose at feminism. I mean, I totally already did, but...ouch.

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

Edmund! :D *is all pleased with self*

And I am guessing Roland in the Dark Tower. Although Eddie (or possibly Jake)... hmm. Actually I think I change my guess to Eddie. I don't know!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Slam dunk! Edmund and Eddie. Heh.

*is totally not thinking about crossover possibilities now...*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yes! "You were just an ass; I was a traitor." *shivers*

[smittywing.livejournal.com]

Of the three left I only know two. I'll guess Cassidy from Preacher. (Although if it were Jesse Custer that would explain your strange need to put John in priest's clothes. ;)

And Queer as Folk...Michael? The dude had a comic book store, how can you not love Michael best? (I admit, Brian and his pill-popping, self-and-other-destructive ways was attractive...)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I had to go get cookies before I could respond to this comment. *g* But yes! Cassidy, of course. And don't put these thoughts in my head of writing some sort of whacked-out priest!AU/Preacher fusion. That would be wrong. *eg*

And I like Michael, but...nope.

[siegeofangels.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one who knows the Lymond Chronicles?

I'm going to guess Lymond himself, because there seems to be an underlying theme of snark here, and because he's Lymond and everyone either loves or hates him.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Apparently, you are. It was starting to freak me out a little!

And yes, my favorite is indeed Lymond himself. Even if no one knew the books, you'd think someone would have taken a wild guess based on the title...

BTW, are you are lover or a hater? (Of Lymond, but if you want to share a more general answer...well, feel free! *g*)

[godofwine.livejournal.com]

Dude, Brian Hotass Kinney should be everyone's favourite for QAF. Because he's BRIAN KINNEY. I'm just saying.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

YES! Thank you. It was bothering me that no one had gotten that. Because, like, duh.

And very soon, you and I are going to have a talk about ponies... *tries for menacing, ends up just looking like she has to go to the bathroom*
