two memes! let's do this!

[lirazel]

First, you tell me:

1.) Which fictional character I remind you of.
2.) What fictional character you ship me with.

Then,

Name 2 fandoms you know I like. I'll tell you (one character from each fandom):
a) Two characters who would be attracted to one another
b) Two characters who would be great friends
c) Two characters who would dislike each other

CROSSOVERS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST.

Also, does anybody know how many fandoms we're allowed to sign up to write for Yuletide this year? I know it was limited last year.

For number one: Annie Sawyer, obviously! You always want to make everyone happy. And for shipping . . . hmm . . . can I get back to you on that one?

Number two: Downton Abbey and . . . Community?

[spuffy-noelle.livejournal.com]

For meme #2 - That 70's Show and How I Met Your Mother.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Awww! She reminds me of me a little too, except that I am obviously not as adorable as Lenora Crichlow, since no one on earth is. I am flattered!

OH HARD! AND RANDOM!

1. Jeff would totally hit on Lady Mary. And she would flirt back. Probably nothing more than that would happen, as hard as Jeff tries, but she would probably think he was cute, horrible hair and being-an-American aside.

2. Britta would try to help Gwen fulfill her dreams and would probably be bad at it. But Gwen would think she was lovely for trying anyway.

3. Everyone in Downton would hate Pierce, as well they should. I imagine Carson throwing him out. Literally.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Those work nicely!

1. Eric would hit on Lilly because he has a thing for reheads, but of course it wouldn't go anywhere. But Barney would decided that OBVIOUSLY he has to get Jackie into bed because she's gorgeous. She'd flirt back shamelessly while knowing that it wouldn't go anywhere because they're too much alike in the wrong ways. Plus she's still in love with Hyde (obvoiusly). But Barney would keep up his wooing, which would lead to number 3.

2. Robin and Donna would get along like burning. And Marshall would occasionally find hanging out with Fez and Kelso and getting into ridiculous messes fun, but they're too immature for even him, so that friendship doesn't last for too long.

3. Hyde would end up punching Barney for hitting on Jackie and being everything he hates. Of course. He would be driven crazy by Ted but ultimately can't hate him too much because he reminds him of Eric.

[snickfic]

I believe it's six initial fandoms for Yuletide, plus the "bucket offer" like they did last year where you can select all the fandoms you're willing to write any character for.

Says she who is not doing YT this year, alas (and is so much less stressed this way!).

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

That's so low! It makes me sad!

Ah, well.

I'm very glad you're not stressed. Not-stressed is a wonderful way to be.

1.) Which fictional character I remind you of.

For some reason you remind me of Dawn :)

2.) What fictional character you ship me with.

Ha! I think I ship you with Spike? ;)


Name 2 fandoms you know I like. I'll tell you (one character from each fandom):

TVD and Buffy?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Awww! Dawnie! That made me grin!

Ha! I think I ship you with Spike? ;)

Why not? He's the little black dress of shipping, after all! Goes well with anyone!

Nice!

1. I'm imagining Spike hitting on Katherine for some reason. And she'd be amused, of course. But I think she could also kick his ass. Which is...probably why he was hitting on her in the first place.

2. Anna and Dawn would definitely be friends. And I can see Bonnie and a younger Willow and also Tara bonding over magic. And Buffy would see a lot of herself in Elena, especially in the relationship between Elena and the broody vampire with the sticky-up hair. I really want fic of Buffy teaching Elena some self-defense stuff. OOH AND I WANT FIC OF GILES AND ALARIC RESEARCHING TOGETHER.

3. Riley would hate ALL THE VAMPIRES. Is that too obvious? I'm just imagining him being assigned by the military to investigate what's going on in Mystic Falls and being totally, totally horrified at all the vampires and such walking around and no one doing anything about it.

[pamsblau.livejournal.com]

Ha yes! I love your answers! Spike would totally hit on Katherine and then maybe hit on Elena? I also think that Damon might flirt with Buffy. He flirts with everyone so there'd be no suprise there.

I would love to see some Giles and Alaric researching.

YES to 3! Riley would absolutely hate Mystic Falls.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I totally agree with you! There would be a lot of flirting going on! And if Damon did flirt with Buffy, I have a feeling she'd throw him to the other side of the room or kick him in the crotch or something. And it would be glorious!

[pamsblau.livejournal.com]

This is going to be made of WIN! *sigh* Now you got me thinking about a crossover fic with les stars Buffy/Damon :) I WANT THIS FIC!!!

[catbirdfish.livejournal.com]

You remind me of OOtP Tonks. :)

#2: Harry Potter and Buffy

[angearia.livejournal.com]

1. You remind me of this mixture of Buffy (in how you rail against injustice) and Tara (a bedrock of kindness which translates to this sense of a peace-loving spirit). ♥
2. ENVER. (My version of him is fictional! THIS COUNTS!)

~two fandoms~
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Vampire Diaries

Scratch that! How about Dollhouse and Vampire Diaries :)

[laeria.livejournal.com]

You are TOTALLY Annie Sawyer, except you have a better taste in men.

I ship you with Aral Vorkosigan - he'd be totally smitten by your fountains of emotions in every direction and because you're bright and brave and honorable. You'd be smitten because he's bright and brave and honorable and short and willing to step back and let the women do the steering. Plus I kind of suspect you'd love his house - you love big gaping old buildings with a history, yeah?

For the second meme: Doctor Who and BtVS, because I am utterly predictable.

[pocochina.livejournal.com]

TO ME YOU ARE WILLIAM.

West Wing and The Vampire Diaries. LAWL.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I never would have thought of that, but she is awesome, so thanks!

1. I have a friend who has written a lot of Ginny/Oz, so I've always been fond of that pairing. And what about Anya and the twins? There's two of them! I can't imagine her turning down that kind of opportunity, can you?

2. Harry and Buffy can bond over the angst of saving the world and being the chosen one, obvs. Dawn would kind of adore Luna, I think.

3. Snape would hate everyone. But I imagine he'd especially hate Cordy. OMG AND ANYA. They would both drive him craaaazy! I can also imagine Buffy at a Weasley family dinner driving Percy crazy with the way she speaks.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

You are too, too sweet. And of course me/Enver IS THE ULTIMATE SHIP OF EVER.

Oooh!

1. Damon would think Echo is way hot. Whether he had a chance with her or not depends on what personality is dominant at the moment.

2. Priya and Bonnie strike me as compatible friends-wise. I can see Mr. Dominic and Sheriff Forbes bonding over Taking Care of Business. They're both very competent people.

3. Damon would HATE Topher. Find him totally annoying and want to kill him, methinks.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

YAY ANNIE! I like this answer!

except you have a better taste in men

ONE CAN ONLY HOPE.

Aral is awesome. AND OMG YES HIS HOUSE. NICE ANSWER.

1. JACK THINKS EVERYONE IS HOT! Duh. And of course he is the Immortal from AtS, so he and Buffy are running around Rome together, like in elisi's fic. Dru, I think, would be fascinated by the Master and vice-versa.

2. The Doctor would totally choose Dawn to be his companion. Andrew would think Rory is awesome, and Rory would have no idea how to react to that. And I very much want Buffy and Martha to be friends.

3. Martha would put Xander Harris in his place.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I AM ALSO WILLIAM TO MYSELF. SO WE ARE IN AGREEMENT.

HAHAHA!

1. How about Charlie/Bonnie? I can see that. And Bonnie needs a guy who would appreciate her. Katherine would think Sam is pretty, but not really worth her time because she could break him with her pinky finger.

2. Jed would back Stefan up into a corner where he can't escape and inundate him with questions about history. Josh and Alaric could be drinking buddies, but Josh hates Ric's choice in friends.

3. Imagining Toby and Caroline in the same room makes me want to laugh. THEY DON'T EXIST IN THE SAME UNIVERSE.

[streussal.livejournal.com]

Veronica Mars and Angel?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

1. Logan hitting on Cordy would be hilarious to me. Angel would probably be drawn to the tiny blonde hero-ness of Veronica, but I can't see her being interested back, so that would be a dead end.

2. Gunn and Wallace could bond over not getting good story lines because they're the black guys. And Mac and Fred would get along great, I think.

3. Logan and Angel would have no idea how to relate to each other, and Logan would remind Angel a little too much of Spike.

[laeria.livejournal.com]

1. oh ohhhh, Dru/Master. Oh MY.

("We must be very good, Miss Edith, or Mister Master will make no more fireworks.")

Also, heh, Jack as the Immortal! Not something I've considered before.

2. I can see Buffy and Martha as friends. Martha has the sense of whimsy down better than all the other companions, and understands very precisely how it feels to laugh in the face of ugly death. Also, they have the too much responsibility thing too, and the "mission to empower the people" thing as well, sort of. I... am very nearly tempted to ship them, actually. Or, just, yes, make them very, very good friends.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

("We must be very good, Miss Edith, or Mister Master will make no more fireworks.")

YES! Can't you see him very gallantly taking her hand? I can just see it.

Jack as the Immortal has become almost fanon because of elisi's fics, and it makes so much sense!

Ship away! They're both so awesome, in all those ways you outline!

[gryfndor-godess.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I'm not sure about the first meme, but for the second, HP and Community!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

1. I can see Sirius hitting on Britta and Annie both.

2. Ron and Troy, I think, would be good friends. OMG THE TWINS AND TROY AND ABED. YES THAT.

3. Snape would hate all of them, obviously, so let's go with something a little less obvious. Hermione would HATE Pierce.

[gryfndor-godess.livejournal.com]

OMG THE TWINS AND TROY AND ABED. YES THAT.

OMG WANT, SO MUCH.

Hermione would HATE Pierce.

Ron would have such a hard time restraining himself from punching him every time Pierce directed something lewd toward Hermione!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I cannot imagine the kind of shenanigans that the twins + Troy and Abed would get into. The twins would be totally thrown by Abed at first, but they would quickly discover that he's a genius and would think he's the best.

Ron would have such a hard time restraining himself from punching him every time Pierce directed something lewd toward Hermione!

So true!

[ahigheroctave.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD. Anya/Weasley Twins is the best idea ever. I need to find crossover fic like ASAP.

[ahigheroctave.livejournal.com]

1) You remind me a lot of Caroline from VD, because you have this happy, sparkly quality that helps you draw people to you but you also have a good dose of depth which people might miss by just looking at the surface.

2) Ooo, that's a hard one. Maybe Troy Barnes?

That '70s Show and Buffy for the meme.

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

That's so sweet! Thank you!

OH TROY MY LOVE! ;hearts;

Let's see...

1. Hyde would crush on Faith SO HARD, and she'd probably have to take him for a ride. Leather and rock music!

2. Cordy and Jackie could be shopping buddies, but they'd probably be more like frenemies because they're too much alike not to hate each other as much as they understand each other.

3. Anya would drive Red craaaaazy. And Donna would kick Xander's ass if he said something sexist to her. I would like to see that.
