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 feel there needs to be a Tom Riddle/10th Doctor slash fic in my life. To my great sadness there seems to be no cracked-out Harry
Potter/Doctor Who crossover fic on the net. Life is unfair.

- 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 cheerfully confess to having a little sniffle to myself at the end of Spirited Away, when Chihiro leaves Haku & the bath-house. It's sad, damnit! And I shriek in horror Every Single Time I watch the last episode of Battlestar Galactica 2004, where Adama gets shot.


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

I have never liked Smallville. Not even Lex. And Harry/Draco bores me to tears. And I have never seen an episode of Star Trek or Stargate and don't feel the slightest shred of desire to.

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

OMG, DCs' Infinite Crisis is currently making me squeal like a...a...big squealy thing. Particularly the Teen Titans sections of it. I am so much in love with Teen Titans right now that; it's unreal, which is scary considering I hadn't picked up a comic book in 10 years until I picked up a cheap copy of TT: A Kids' Game

- who's the best character in The Simpsons?
Sideshow Bob rocks the joint. If only for the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. I should mention I have been physically unable to watch the Simpsons ever since I saw the episode where Frank Grimes dies, because after that Homer irritated me so much I felt ill.

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

Oh yeah, and there needs to be more Discworld fic in the world, even though trying to imitate Terry Pratchetts' style is nigh-on impossible.

There does! There does!

. I should mention I have been physically unable to watch the Simpsons ever since I saw the episode where Frank Grimes dies, because after that Homer irritated me so much I felt ill.

OH GOD YES. My least favourite episode ever, because while a lot of the recent ones aren't funny, they aren't as loathsome as that one. I didn't watch for something like a year after that.

OH MY GOD, someone can remember the Frank Grimes episode! I was beginning to think I'd watched it in some parallel dimension, because every time I mentioned it people just gave me puzzled looks.

Thanks for reassuring me I'm not crazy.
