holiday love meme 2013
my thread here

Also: Ask me my top 5 [whatever] of 2013 (on tumblr or here, whatever). Because I'm procrastinating and it seems fun!

Happy birthday to slowmercury, I hope you had a great day :D

My own birthday extended birthday weekend ended up being pretty awesome; we went on a winery tour and to the zoo and I ended up getting a fancy coffee maker after all that makes super delicious lattes, plus I brought home way too much wine and cider with me, so it's all good.

Happy birthday torigates! I hope you have a fantastic day :D

So apparently Manu Bennett was promoted to series regular for season two of Arrow? Which, apart from being exciting news in itself, MAYBE MEANS MORE CHANCE OF SEEING ROSE EVENTUALLY?????????? I LIVE IN HOPE.

And a meme that's been floating around:

How many (and which) ships have you shipped from the time you started watching a show until the show ended and you still continue to ship? Two rules:

1. Must be a show you watched at least part of as it was airing on tv (because catching up on a show in three weeks is different from watching it live over a span of years). Or have been watching it for a good amount of time, whatever, I can't necessarily remember what shows I actually saw live and what I didn't after a few years, THIS MEME IS NOT THE BOSS OF ME.

2. The show has to be over with (i.e. no current airing shows count because you don't know which ships crash and burn or get together in the last few episodes and that might affect your shipping).

This was ... actually fewer than I expected? But still a lot, because I watch a lot of television.

Justin/Alex (Wizards of Waverly Place), Helo/Athena (Battlestar Galactica), John/Teyla (Stargate Atlantis), John/Aeryn (Farscape), Ted/Veronica (Better Off Ted), Michael/Lindsay (Arrested Development), Richard/Kahlan/Cara (Legend of the Seeker), Buffy/Faith (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Lamb/Veronica (Veronica Mars), Peter/Claire (Heroes), Clark/Lois (Smallville), Nathan/Haley (One Tree Hill), Beck/Jade (Victorious), Sasha/Payson (Make It or Break It), Ryan/Kelly (The Office) ... probably others I'm forgetting, whatever.

Some of those I still care about more than others; others, obviously, weren't right from the beginning of the show, but I think "from the time the characters were introduced" counts. And Ryan/Kelly only very nearly qualifies, but whatever, the show is almost over and they're only going to be on one more episode, I very much doubt whatever happens then will make me stop shipping it when several seasons of barely there-ness and the characters generally being kind of terrible people didn't. (And sadly I couldn't include Ryan/Taylor, because I only started shipping them in season four like everybody else with a soul, but I still ship them a lot, so they're there in spirit.)

Welcome, new friends! My flist has been super lively lately and I'm still adjusting, so there were a lot of posts in the past few days I didn't get around to commenting on. But I'm super glad to have met so many new people, so, in that spirit:

Fandom Tennis Match Meme!

Okay, here's how this is going to work. You comment with a fandom question. I answer it and then ask you a question that has some thematic relevance to the question you asked me.

Since I wrote pretty much nothing all year (until yuletide, when I wrote ALL THE THINGS), I figured I wouldn't restrict this to just fic, because what would be the point? So, things I made posted in 2012:

FANFICTION
Occupied (Diplomatic Immunity, Ensemble)
Heavily Armoured (DCU, Dick/Steph)
Scavenger Hunting Is Extremely Likely Disastrous (S.H.I.E.L.D) (Avengers, Sif/Darcy)
And All I Got Was This Stupid T-Shirt (New Girl, Nick/Jess)
Advanced Practical Stealth Techniques (or, Things That Weren't In The Course Catalogue) (Princess Protection Program, Carter/Rosie)

VIDS
Ultimate Showdown Of Ultimate Destiny (The Middleman, Ensemble)

FANMIXES
Past = Prologue (Doom, John/Sam)
Love In The Time Of Zombies (Doom, John/Sam)
Ever After (Doom, John/Sam)
I'm Not Your Boyfriend (The Office, Ryan/Kelly)

PICSPAMS
How To Solve A Fake Love Triangle (With Llamas) (Big Time Rush, Kendall/Jo)
Big Time Bingo (Big Time Rush, Ensemble)
Sometimes I Just Do Stuff (Big Time Rush, Carlos)
I Guess You're Fans Of The Cliché (Big Time Rush, Ensemble)

So, this is going around again? And I've never actually done it, so!

( Little boxes made of ticky tacky )

HOW MANY ICONS DO YOU HAVE: 250 on DW / 270 on LJ
OUT OF HOW MANY AVAILABLE ICONS SPACES: See above.
IF YOU COULD BUY SPACE FOR MORE, WOULD YOU: Yes!
DO YOUR ICONS MAKE A STATEMENT: Not really? I have a lot of icons of female characters and very few of only male characters, so I guess they're fairly representative of my general interests.
WHAT FANDOM DO YOU HAVE THE MOST ICONS OF: Disney RPF and Battlestar Galactica
AND THE SECOND MOST: Wizards of Waverly Place
WHAT SHIP DO YOU HAVE THE MOST ICONS OF: Justin/Alex
ARE YOUR ICONS MADE MOSTLY BY OTHER PEOPLE: Yes
DO YOU MAKE ICONS: Only when I really, really need icons.
ARE THEY ANY GOOD: Sometimes they don't suck?
ANIMATED ICONS ARE: Not really my thing.

SO, I HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND A LOT LATELY. I AM SO BEHIND ON EVERYTHING, LET'S TALK ABOUT RANDOM STUFF INSTEAD.

1. Unpopular opinions meme!

Name a fandom I participate in/have participated in and I'll list my three most unpopular opinions about it.


2. I have a bunch of icons to talk about from that meme that was floating around, let me know if you want me to pick some of yours.

( Icons! )


3. mfirefly10 gave me BSG, SGA, Farscape, and Veronica Mars to talk about my ( favourite characters )

Still too busy to post much, but let's have a couple of memes!

#1: Name a couple (or two, or whatever, there ain't no meme police) and I will tell you the exact moment I started shipping them. Or stopped.

#2: If you had to pick one fic of mine that is the one you identify with me, what would it be and why?

Let's provide a minor distraction in the form of an awesome meme!

Name a character from one of my fandoms, and I will reply saying:

* How I FEEEEEL about this character
* All the people I ship romantically with this character
* My non-romantic OTP for this character
* My unpopular opinion about this character
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Swiped from all over:

Ask me fandom-related questions in the comments. They can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general. Questions can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want.
