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 )

Let's see...health thing sorta better.
Writing getting done. Still have two more to finish this month, then I have a thought for a epilogue-kid mini-drabble fest...
Have signed back up at NaNoWriMo's website, and have been looking around there. My plot for my fic I'll be writing is coming along nicely...
( Fall TV opinions )
Tons of movies coming out this fall. Starting with Across the Universe today... The previews look so pretty...I can't wait to see it.
Others I'm looking forward to:
Elizabeth the Golden Age (still not 100% sold on this one, but I did love the first, even with the playing with history...) - October 12th
August Rush - November 21st
The Golden Compass - December 7th
Sweeny Todd (has everyone seen the preview, yet?) - December 21st
And, of course, a few videos as well... :D I've been putting off watching the Pirates movies until I can watch all three at once... :D
Um...that's all I can think of for now, anyway...how is everyone else doing?

I just seem to be so distracted these days, I rarely seem to post anything but fic or memes. So a list of my life of late:
* On Spoilers! I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I don't want to be spoiled. Please, please, please! Put stuff under a cut for those of us who want to actually read the book without prior knowledge? Thanks.
( many many many other things behind the cut, to save my flist from teh ginormous post of doom )
And I think I'll stop there. And maybe try to post more often? :P Hope everyone is having a good day.

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...

1. What movies are you fannish about?
Too many to count, but I'll list a bunch anyway.
- Star Wars saga (mostly the original trilogy)
- Indiana Jones series
- Terminator
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Moulin Rouge
- Matrix (the first more than the later two
- Stargate
I think you get the idea... ;) 2. What upcoming movies do you expect to be fannish about? - Serenity
- Corpse Bride
- Goblet of Fire
- King Kong
I'll be seeing others, but those are the ones I'm most excited about. 3. Movie adaptations of your fannish tv shows: good idea or bad idea?Depends on who's doing the adaptation. If it's the originals, or those who care deeply for the original, good, if it's studio-run, bad. 4. If they have to make a movie of a fannish tv show, do you want the original actors and premise, or is an updated premise acceptable?Depends on the show. Older shows should be an updated premise in general, with cameos of originals if possible. New shows should have some or all of the original cast members, because if they don't want to do it, that's nto a good sign. 5. Would you rather have a made for tv fannish movie or do you want the big screen?Depends on the source material. And who's making it. And the budget.

01. Post a list of 10 TV shows you watch (current or cancelled!)
02. Have your friends list guess your favourite CHARACTER from each show
03. When guessed bold the line and write a sentence about why you like that character
04. Post in your own livejournal :)
1. Voyager
2. Babylon 5
3. Stargate SG1 Teal'c, guessed by kleo_the_muse. Teal'c is the reason I decided to continue watching the show when it first aired. I love his sense of humor, his sense of honor, and the fact that he's lovely doesn't hurt either. :D
4. Pretender
5. Law and Order, original series
6. CSI
7. Battlestar Galactica (current, not old)
8. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
9. DS9
10. Forever Knight
Guess away!

Who are your five favorite characters of color?
Teal'c - Stargate SG1 - Played by the ever-so-lovely Christopher Judge. I love his attitude towards life, and his very dry sense of humor.
Tyr Anasazi - Andromeda - I watched this show, not because of Gene Roddenbury (because it was really barely his creation, and look what they did with it, after all...), but because of Keith Hamilton Cobb, who not only was one of the earliest actors cast for this show, but also helped to create the alien race he was to become a part of.
Chakotay - Star Trek: Voyager - Now, here was a man of the nineties. Supporting his woman, even if he didn't get to win her. Sensitive, yet strong, he was always exactly what was needed.
Hoshi Sato - Star Trek: Enterprise - The only female on this list, mostly because I wasn't sure if B'Elanna Torres counts. I loved how she didn't really WANT to be on the ship, but went anyway, and her talent with languages which I have really only seen rivaled in Daniel Jackson on Stargate. Really the only character I particularly enjoyed on this show before I stopped watching.
Ruby Rhod - Fifth Element - As annoying as he is in some scenes, in others, he is the best part of the scene. I love the charicature Chris Tucker created here. He keeps some of the later scenes from getting to heavy, and he's just fun to watch.
ETA: Realized because of this entry that I had a serious Icon deficiency. So, what does everyone think of my new Star Trek icon? :D

So, Hubby says I can get a paid account... Mostly because he doesn't want me to set up GJ account. So I will be looking for new LJ Icons. Anyone who wants to treat me, I would love ship Icons specifically:
HP/DM, SS/SB, SS/RL, George/Harry, LM/RL
Also anything good for Draco, Snape, or Remus.
Other stuff:
Star Trek, particularly Voyager
Star Wars, specifically Han/Liea
Dragon Prince series, particularly Sioned & Rohan (or a picture of Miranda Otto as Sioned)
Buffy/Angel, Willow, Vamp Willow, Angel/Buffy, Oz/Willow, Willow/Tara
Babylon 5 - Susan Ivanova, Delenn, Lenir, Susan/Talia, Susan/Marcus
Jay Davidson in his Ra garb... :D Or somehow as Blaise.
Elfquest: Winnowill, Rayek, Tier, Cutter, Skywise, or Winnowill/Rayek, Ember/Tier
Moulin Rouge - Christian/Satine
Cate as Galadriel
Jean Grey
I'm sure there's more, but it's not going to come to me as it's so late. But any places to find icons would be appreciated and adored. :D

What 5 characters perform their actual jobs well? (Characters from Clerks need not apply.)

...and I just realized something. Jaye Davidson is how I picture Blaise Zabini. In general hair color and skin color. :D

Name the five scenes that make you melt in True Fannish Love. Every. Single. Time. You know the scenes, the ones that either pimped you in, or proved to you that you had well and truly fallen.

I am a huge fan of Kieth Hamilton Cobb. The man is not only gorgeous, but talented and intelligent as well. So I was thrilled several years ago when I heard he was going to be in a new sci-fi tv show based on one of Gene Roddenberry's ideas. I read that he was heavily involved in the creation of not only his character, but also of his character's race--the Nietzscheans. He read heavily for the role, and seemed quite excited about it.
Then I heard that Kevin Sorbo would star. Now, at the time, I reserved judgment. I had never watched Hercules, as I am a huge mythology nut, and had seen enough from the commercials to know that the changes they were making would annoy me. In my head, I compared this new show -- Andromeda -- to another which I had recently become addicted to -- Stargate. There were several similarities between the two. A big lead star known for another series, in Stargate's case, Richard Dean Anderson from MacGyver; neither were network shows; and both were science fiction.
When I first heard about Stargate, I had my doubts. After all, they wouldn't have the cast from the movie, and the story had seemed pretty final. Plus, I had never liked MacGyver, so I was sure that RDA would annoy me. I just didn't think it would be worth watching. But it was. From the beginning, they made certain to separate RDA's character from MacGyver, to the extent of making him a bit of an idiot. It has even become a running joke on the show. Even more important, though he was ostensibly the main character, he was not the only one to get solo episodes. Not everything happened to his character. The team meshed well because the other three main characters were allowed to grow.
So, in my head, I began hoping that Andromeda's success would echo Stargate's. That is, that Kevin Sorbo's popularity would lead the show to high ratings, while allowing the other characters to take center stage from time to time.
And, in the first season, that seemed like a possibility. Sorbo's character was not the only one showcased, and though the show had rough edges, there were possibilities. Then, about halfway through the second season, Robert Hewett Wolfe quit the show. He was one of the producers and writers of the show, and it was he who had the idea for the timeline. When he left, it is my opinion he took some of the best ideas with him. He cited creative differences. That "they" (I have a guess who that might be) wanted a more action-oriented show, focusing more on Sorbo's character. And they got it. But in doing so, they ruined any chance of the show being any good.
The show went downhill from there. Suddenly all the episodes featured Sorbo, and all the internal interactions between the characters were shallow at best. This ultimately culminated with Cobb finally leaving the show. Though I had stopped watching before Kieth's final episode, I was saddened by this. He had seemed so pleased to be in the creation of the show, and I think he had high hopes for what could come of it. To have another actor's ego cause the downfall of something he had a hand in creating must have been annoying at the least, and devastating at most.
The final episode just aired recently. All I can really say any more is that I'm pleased that it is finally off life-support, and has been allowed to die. It had such potential at the beginning, and I will mourn that potential much more than the loss of the show itself. And I know that I will never watch anything with Sorbo creatively connected to it again.
ETA Hubby just told me that it was NOT the last episode, and that they've been renewed for another season. Why can't it just die? :(
Heh. When I was spellchecking this, Sorbo came up as wrong, with the suggestion of SOB to replace the name. ;P
