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.

Comments

- show off your favourite icon.

So, I keep meaning to do this at work and then not. So I'm doing it now while my laundry is going.

- 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 get teary at tons and tons of stuff, but the one that always comes to mind is the end of A Tale of Two Cities. (My mommy read that to me when I was like 4, bitches!)

[And I hate Tracey, but everytime I hear that voiceover in "The Message" I get all teary.]

[smooshes fandom questions together]

Reading your Metaphysics of the Provocateur (http://www.exitseraphim.net/nina/metaphysics.html) made me want fic in which Nina goes to Mexico like Angel tells her to and has anonymous semi-abusive stranger sex.

Someone should write Jaye/Aaron (Wonderfalls sibcest) with lots of nihilistic philosophizing so that don't have to take a crash course in philosophy and write it myself.

There should be more fic dealing with Dawn's Key-ness.

I've moved away from an interest in a lot of the crackpairings I would have answered this question with in the past.

I keep finding cracked out fics that fill a need I hadn't realized I had.

Assorted classes last year gave me vague bunnies/desires to see someone write pairings:

Sarah Woodruff/Christina Rossetti (The French Lieutenant’s Woman - John Fowles)
Tess/Marian (Tess of the d’Urbervilles - Thomas Hardy)
Jane Eyre/Helen Burns, Helen Burns/Miss Temple, Jane Eyre/Helen Burns/Miss Temple (Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë)
Jane Eyre/Mad!Bertha (Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë)

Also: Angela Carter’s “The Bloody Chamber”: I want fanfic in which Bluebeard isn't a murderer and in which they negotiate a really hot kinky sexlife. Alternatively, kinky post-canon fic.

Other random fandom:
Pallas/Athena
Matilda/Miss Honey (Matilda, Roald Dahl)
Snow White/huntsman

There are lots of random bunnies I intend to write at some point (some of which are on the above list).

P.S. Lisa is totally the best Simpsons character.
