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.

I don't think I count as a lurker, but it always amuses me to answer surveys.

what's the last movie you saw that you really loved or really hated?

Really hated--Batman Begins. Really loved--Mysterious Skin.

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?

Giles (BtVS)/Fraser (due South)

show off your favourite icon.

My favorite sort of depends on my mood, but I'm using one of my favorites.

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

"Restless," from BtVS season 4.

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.

I infallibly cry at the bit in Truly Madly Deeply where the lovers say goodbye. Also Anya's speech in "The Body," and the end of Gloss's story Book of Daniel.

Come to think of it, I cry at a lot of things. I tend to cry more easily over fictional sorrows than real ones.

confess your deep fandom shame. It's good for the soul.

I love hurt/comfort fic. Absolutely love it. Well-written h/c is preferable, but even if it's pretty bad I eat it up like yummy snack food.

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

Brokeback Mountain (aka the Gay Cowboy Movie), the Wallace and Gromit movie, and the Order of the Phoenix movie. I'm looking forward to the new season of House but I'm too doubtful to be excited. Oh, and I'm excited for the new writer who's starting her run soon in the Hellblazer comic, if only because she's got to be an improvement over Mike Carey.

who's the best character in The Simpsons? This would be a poll if I weren't lazy.

Hmmm. I'm not sure I watch the Simpsons enough to have an opinion. But I do love CarlandLenny.

obscure character love yay! Who needs the love, in any fandom?

Lorne. Mort from due South. Leoben Conoy from BSG. Cuddy from House, only not in a paired-with-House sort of way.

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

Hellblazer!!!! The comic, not the Constantine movie. I don't know why there's so little Hellblazer fic--the fandom has a fascinating central character and fab source material to work from. But there's practically nothing.

Also, somebody should write fic for the movie Dark Harbor.

Meep. The above reference to the Order of the Phoenix movie should actually have been to the Goblet of Fire movie. Fortunately, we're not yet at the point of horrible sadness that is OotP.

Also Anya's speech in "The Body," and the end of Gloss's story Book of Daniel.

Word on both. Especially the second because I was reading it at five in the morning, having stayed up all night unable to stop reading.

I'm looking forward to the new season of House but I'm too doubtful to be excited.

I'm praying to all the fandom deities that the House/Cameron thing is dropped like a stone. I went from loving Cameron to being utterly horrified and cringing at her behaviour - refusing to come back to her job when her boss tells her she's a good doctor, but agreeing if he'll take her on a date? Way to set those 50s standards, Cam.

Mmm, Hellblazer. I know I had a torrent for the whole thing around here somewhere, wonder if it's still active...
