The Semi-Annual delurking/tell Doyle things/help me procrastinate, bitches Post

Anybody feel like delurking? Or pretending to lurk so you can delurk and comment?


I would like to know any of the following: (unnumbered since I don't expect people to answer them all)
- what's the last movie you saw that you really loved or really hated?
- is there a fic/pairing/scenario/cracked out AU, in any fandom or crossover, that plainly needs to be written but so far hasn't, to your great distress?
- show off your favourite icon.
- what's your favourite season finale of any show ever? Feel free to spoil me.
- if there's a TV/movie/book moment that just gets to you, whether to make you bawl your eyes out or fall about laughing, tell me about it. (*) (Note that this is a footnote mark, not a single pierced nipple boobicon.)
- confess your deep fandom shame. It's good for the soul.
- what upcoming movie/TV show/book/comic/whatever are you excited about? (I think we'll take Serenity as a given...)
- who's the best character in The Simpsons? This would be a poll if I weren't lazy. (It's Reverend Lovejoy, of coure, but I would also accept Sideshow Mel or the gestalt entity Carl-and-Lenny.)
- obscure character love yay! Who needs the love, in any fandom?
- and speaking of obscure, tell me what rare fandoms you have, or what you'd like to see good fic for.

(*) My emotionally crippling moments: I mentioned this when miggy did her meme a few weeks back, but the Simpsons episode Lisa's Substitute tears me up every single time. Argh, the note, "this is everything you need to know" and it just says "you are Lisa Simpson." I have to watch that episode every time it's on TV. I own it on DVD, I've seen it maybe 30 times, but if it's on TV I'm compelled to sit and watch for that one moment.

And don't get me started on Lilo and Stitch, because then my rampant immaturity will be out there for all the world to see.

ETA: I'm off to bed so if you don't get an immediate response, remember your hitchhiker's guide advice and don't panic. I'll be answering these tomorrow. But keep your towel on standby just in case.

What's the last movie you saw that you really loved or really hated?
Hated (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mpoetess/466934.html) | Loved (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mpoetess/467918.html)

Is there a fic/pairing/scenario/cracked out AU, in any fandom or crossover, that plainly needs to be written but so far hasn't, to your great distress?
Nick Knight (Forever Knight)/Angel. Mostly because I think even Angel would tell Nick to OMG get over the angst. and then I would laugh.

show off your favourite icon.
This one, right now.

what's your favourite season finale of any show ever? Feel free to spoil me.

There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on Ace, we've got work to do.

If there's a TV/movie/book moment that just gets to you, whether to make you bawl your eyes out or fall about laughing, tell me about it.

But I don't understand! I don't understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean, I knew her, and then she's, there's just a body, and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead anymore. It's stupid. It's mortal and stupid. And, and Xander's crying and not talking, and, and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well, Joyce will never have any more fruit punch ever, and she'll never have eggs, or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why.

*is sad*

Yis. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mpoetess/438904.html)

What upcoming movie/TV show/book/comic/whatever are you excited about? (I think we'll take Serenity as a given...)
Brokeback Mountain. And Serenity.

Who's the best character in The Simpsons?
Lisa. Except sometimes when it's Sideshow Bob.

obscure character love yay! Who needs the love, in any fandom?
Turlough; oldskool Doctor Who.

and speaking of obscure, tell me what rare fandoms you have, or what you'd like to see good fic for.

All of the semi-rare fandoms I have, I've been very lazy about seeking out fic for; to be honest unless it falls across my friendslist, I am not hurting for fic in my non-Joss fandoms. Stuff I like that is semi-obscure, though... American Gothic (which I actually have read a virtual season for.) ... um. Margaret Mahy novels? I would love to see good fanfic for The Changeover.

Yeah, but good call on the Anya quote. Just reading it gives me a huge lump in my throat.

Doctor Who has made me scream twice, actually scream out loud at the TV - when the spider jumped onto Romana's face in one of the cliffhangers in State of Decay and when it looked like Seven was dead in Survival. And I knew he wasn't dead, because the first DW I ever saw was the TV movie when I was 13, and he dies in that (I still haven't got up the nerve to watch that scene again) but I was still utterly devastated. Then that lovely speech at the end made me bawl.

Yis.

Well, you know my feelings on #1 *g*

Turlough deserves so much love. And fic. Especially Turlough/Five. I have a slight complex about needing to at least superficially understand cricket before I try writing Five, but I'll be doing this at some point. (Have you heard the audio drama Loups-Garoux? Turlough and Five at the Rio carnaval, with werewolves and much slashy h/c.)

[mpoetess.livejournal.com]

I have not - I haven't heard any of the audio-dramas since before they were letting them actually acknowledge that they were the Doctor Who characters. (AKA the last ones I have star "The Professor" and "Alice" afaik

American Gothic? Dude!

I don't suppose you ever hung out at the Millenium Compendium AG Forum back in the day? The site went dark (actually, the owner quit paying, and the address became a p0rn site), and we were all scattered to the wind.

[mpoetess.livejournal.com]

Nope - my fannishness was pretty much lurky -- limited to watching, bitching about the cancellation and the scheduling crapola that preceded it, and trolling for interesting fic.
