To those of you who are awake:

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)

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.

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

Dude, I was so traumatized by the Turkish delight scene that TO THIS DAY I refuse to eat it. Refuse to try it, not even the least little bit. *shudder*

Thanks for the assurances about "Horses"--I'm feeling much better about it today, mostly because I distracted myself with pony!fic. ;-) But while I recognize that there were good points, on the most basic level, it was just too confusing. (Reynolds, BTW, was supposed to be John's co-pilot in Afghanistan who died heroically and who John's dad wanted him to foist the blame for the decision to go back on; and now, looking at your icon, I'm wondering if I subconsciously named him after Mal...) I have a deep love of ambiguity and saying just enough, but sometimes, I take it too far, and then a story ceases to work.

But hurrah for academic egomania. ;-)
