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.

The last movie I really loved or hated
People should put their eyes out with a blunt spoon before watching Any Given Sunday. It is not only bad, but it is sneaky and makes you keep watching it because you think that it has to get better than this. And it really doesn't.

A fic/pairing/scenario/cracked out AU, in any fandom or crossover, that plainly needs to be written but so far hasn't.
There should be Blackadder in late Roman Britain fic. With Blackadder as centurion and Baldrick as peasant sidekick. And camps and marching.
Or possibly Sir Blackadder of the Round Table - Arthurian legend with quests. :imagines Baldrick accidentally pulling the sword from the stone:

Show off your favourite icon.
:shows:

Favourite season finale of any show ever?
The Brittas Empire, season 5. Mr Brittas has just saved Carole's life (and died himself), by pushing her out of the way of a full water tank while she was stuck in a children's toy car. He's standing outside the gates of heaven while St Peter has scales and is putting lots of little black balls (which are all the negative things he's done) on one side - and then at the bottom of the container there's this one shiny light ball that is for giving up his life to save another's. It outweighs all his other not-so-good deeds and he gets let into heaven, and it's just aw!

A TV/movie/book moment that just gets to you, whether to make you bawl your eyes out or fall about laughing.
Teachers - Kurt walking alone in the rain after he and Brian have broken up.

My deep fandom shame.
Um. Maybe the slashing of snooker players? Although I have no shame about that I sometimes feel guilty about my lack of shame.

The best character in The Simpsons?
Little Maggie.

What rare fandoms you have, or what you'd like to see good fic for.
Soldier, soldier - There should be more any Tucker/Garvey - 'cause LOOK (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v661/meacester/TG1.jpg). And singing. There should be more singing.
3rd rock from the sun - Aliens with no concept of human conventions, people! Why is there no fanfic?
The Brittas Empire - So many disasters, so little time. Plus Tim/Gavin!
Teachers - More people should write Kurt/Brian, yes. 'cause reading other people's is more fun than writing my own.

Ohhh, that Brittas Empire finale! I wish I could wave my magic fandom wand and make that the real end of the show because I loathed the "and it was all a dream" thing. I loved Tim/Gavin, of course - argh, the episode where they all think Gavin's dead but he's really on a pirate ship! I loved that one.

That Tucker/Garvey picture - GUH. I slashed them back in the day, though I didn't see much of the series.

Kurt walking in the rain is brilliantly done. That whole breakup works so well for being played straight, the fact that they'd both so utterly devastated. Yes, there should be fic, and lots of it. It's going to be one of my yuletide requests again.
