And no Googling!
So, who out there can name me the song that Spike is listening to at the end of "Lover's Walk" (the scene in the car with him driving out of town--or into, if I'm remembering wrong), and more importantly, who sings that version?
ETA: Answer - My Way with Gary Oldman singing as Sid Vicious.
( Video behind the cut )
I might be willing to offer a drabble. Even a Buffy drabble if really bunnied.
Two other drabbles forthcoming.

I've been uploading icons lately. Feeling the need for more Buffy icons. Anyone have any favorite iconners for that show (or Angel)? I specifically like Willow, Oz, Dru, Spike, and Tara. And I prefer stuff with text and pictures. Would be greatful for help. *looks out at everyone with puppy-dog eyes*

Did this in October, but I added a bunch
Make a list of all the characters in your icons. (Although you may have more than one icon of a single character, they only go on the list once.) Alphabetize it. Take the first two people on the list; that's your first pairing. Second two people; second pairing. Etc. Then write your reaction to each pairing (or a snippet of a hypothetical fic featuring each pairing).
Decided to go with snippets this time. And I didn't include real people in this list. Just the people I use in RP as the charcter I use them for.
( micro-ficlets behind the cut, with lots of HP, a bit of QAF, Firefly, Stargate, Beatles, and many others included, some mention of character death )

I haven't been interested in these in ages, but I quite like this one:
What are your five favorite canonical friendships?
Harry Potter
- Sirius, Remus and James. I'd add Peter, but JK totally screwed him over to make sure that no one would ever like him.
- Severus and Lily. Aaaaaw... :D
- Harry and Neville, though more movie-canon than book-canon. I love that Neville actually gets to help him and talk to him in the movies.
- Severus and Lucius, even though it's never explicitly stated.
- Albus and Gellert. A fascinating idea. I can't wait to see what the fans do with it. :D
Star Trek - Geordi and Data. Not just symbiotic because Geordi was an engineer, but also honestly good friends. I always loved their jaunts on the holodeck.
- Ben and Dax. I have a huge soft spot for Dax, and I always loved this. How it grew from a male/male friendship to a male/female friendship with only one hint of romance the entire time Jadzia was host.
- Tom and Harry. These two were so fun together... Little kids on a big ship. :D
- Kathryn and Tuvok. Everyone needs a Vulcan friend. To tell them when they're being an idiot
- Kirk and Spock. Oh, all right, yes. It's one of the things I hope this new version gets right. They were each others' support, and I want them to show it, damn it!
Others - Sam and Al, Quantum Leap. They were really so great together...
- Knight and Schanke, Forever Knight. Ditto. I can't express the number of times Schanke's stupid antics and Nick's reaction made me grin. And yet, they were still always there for each other.
- Buffy and Willow, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Only the best of friends can get away with calling each other such horrid things and smile about it while they're doing it. "Quitter." "Whiner." "Bailer." "Harpy." "Witch." "Bad seed..."
- Cutter and Skywise, Elfquest. God, I can't believe this wasn't at the top of my list. These two are so perfect together. Cutter the brawn and Skywise the brain. They compliment each other so well...
- Brian and Michael, Queer as Folk. I know some prefer the romance between them, but if it had ever happened? It would have destroyed everything between them. They were never meant to be anything more than friends. Though they were excellent at that. They understood each other almost better than anyone else. And put up with each other more than most of the others in their lives did.

Gacked from bookshop
Leave a list of fictional characters in your journal that you would love to get a message from. It is your friend-list's mission, should they choose to accept it, to write you an in-character "letter" from a character on that list. Then they post their own list in their journal and the process continues!
Harry Potter:
Fruits Basket Star Trek - Captain Janeway
- Chakotay
- B'Elanna
- Jadzia Dax
Elfquest Others - Susan Ivanova (B5)
- Teal'c (SG1)
- Inara (Firefly)
- Willow (BTVS)
Um, that's all I can think of at the moment...

So almost no one guessed any of my OTPs, but I did write a few Drabbles, so I thought I'd share them.
If you'd like to guess and get a drabble of your own, the list is here.
drusillas_rain guessed Harry/Draco, and asked for a BTVS drabble with the ship of my choice, and the prompt "November rain"
100 Words exactly.
( November Rain )
Foodie, my co-author and main beta, got a bunch right, but I'm keeping the ones she guessed to myself, since she didn't post, so they're still up for grabs...
She requested six drabbles:
Serenity Spoiler Warning for both of the next two drabbles, just to be sure!
Kaylee/Simon -Their first child, gender of your choice, has just been born. 115 Words ( Fatherhood )
Inara/Mal - Inara rejoins Serenity, with newfound bravery to admit her feelings...
114 Words ( A Time for Everything )
Troi/Riker - Riker tells Troi how he feels about her relationship with Worf 141 Words ( Them )
Janeway/Chakotay - Chakotay tries to convince Janeway to take the vacation she really needs 141 Words ( Time Away )
Ginny/Neville - Nev botches up their first Christmas together as newlyweds 150 Words ( The Disastrous Christmas ) Remus/Tonks - Missing scene: how Remus came to terms with her feelings for him at the end of HBP 131 Words ( Coming to Terms )
Woah, I wrote in 1 fandom that I haven't in ages, and two that I've never written in... I'm scared now...

Gacked from ponderosa121 -
The OTP meme.
I list my fandoms, and you guess what my OTPs are in them. In some cases, I do have more than one, but I will indicate. And--for added incentive, I will write drabbles for those who guess one right.

Name five fannish characters you would trade lives with.
In thinking of who I would list, I come up with two thoughts. One is that this can't be a favorite character thing necessarily, because most if not all of my favorite characters are heavily angsty. Draco will have a bad end; ditto Severus, plus his unhappy life; and look at Remus, Willow and Jadzia... I'm just drawn to angst. The other is that when I do narrow it down, they all seem to generally end up being the same character type: a strong, confident woman. Jadzia, B'Elanna, Janeway, Zoe... All generally the same character. So, those two codacils in mind, here goes nothing...
- Jadzia Dax (DS9) - Strong, confident, intelligent... I would give anything to have the amount of confidence she had in her pinky finger.
- Zoe Warren (Firefly) - Again, strong and confident, and never without a smile.
- B'Elanna Torres (Voyager) - The attitude, the intelligence. I loved her from the first episode.
- Nightfall (Elfquest) - Here's one of the few who actually gets to live the happily-ever-after most heroes don't. And boy does she deserve it.
- Leia Organa (Star Wars) - Got everything her mother didn't. Maybe Bail made the difference?
Some Not-quites - Willow Rosenberg (BTVS) - Adored her greatly, but her breakdown in season six was just too much to handle. And Tara's death... Draco Malfoy (HP) - Could have everything in the palm of his hand, but didn't realize what he'd need to do to get it all, so now he may end up being a casualty of the war his father has helped create. Remus Lupin (HP) - We all know that Remus will never have a happy life, unless JK decides to do the "killing the werewolf who made him breaks the curse" rule... Padme Amidala (Star Wars) - I loved her in the first movie, was rather dissapointed with her in the second, and was thouroughly disgusted in the third. She had so much potential. But apparently being a leader that young means that you don't have to worry about thinking after you step down...

Look at your LJ "interests" list. If you have less than 50 interests, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five interests, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five interests, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly what it is about these things that interests you so much.

Gone through my entire journal, and tagged most of the entries. I quite like the tagging feature. It's far easier to use and change than memories.
In going through and tagging everything, I discovered a few things. One is that I have a lot more fics posted here than I thought. Another is that, if Buffy (or Angel, I suppose) were still on the air, I would have a LOT more Buffy posts. Apparently it's my second-favorite fandom. I also realized that all of my fandoms outside of HP seem to be dead ones, pretty much.
Anyway, feel free to look about. I tried to be fairly comprehensive.
* * *
And now onto other things: Robin Hobbs fanfic rant. I am a fan of hers. She writes beautifully detailed worlds. She is also not Anne Rice. Both facts make me quite tolerant of her as a person. I was also well aware that she doesn't want people doing fanfic of her worlds. Now, I can understand a bit of this, as she's not someone who makes a ton of money on her writing. And I was okay with this. But her arguments, while carefully thought out, strike me as bitter and unwilling to see any other side. I also think she's going to lose more readers this way than anything else. This won't gain her fans, that's for sure. I won't repeat the same things everyone else has said, except to say that yes, I can personally atribute my improvement in writing to the fact that I have written fan fic. And no, I didn't start out writing fan fic. I will also say that as original as her worlds are, even she has pieces of her worlds that can be traced back to Tolkein, Arthurian Legend, and even Celtic folktales. Does that mean that her stuff should be torn apart because it is not 100% original? I don't think so. And I don't think she has the right to do the same to others. She has a right to her opinions, but I do not think her opinions and reality quite jive. And that's all I'm going to say about that. * * *
Not-so-nice things going around this week. Government sucks. People are obnoxious. Why can't we just live in a world where we're allowed to live the way we wish, so long as it hasn't hurt others? I'm ready for a new government: people who don't want to subdue the world just because they're not "like us," people who don't feel they need to control or use us simply because we're there, people who want to preserve the world, not just their way of life. I hate being part of this country, because when I'm not in this country, I'm looked down on simply for being from this country. I hate knowing that my political leaders know less about the world than they do about making war on it. They make us look like bullies or idiots. And I hate that more than anything else. K, no more. Here's hoping tomorrow will be better.
