Yet Another Meme

[thisbluespirit]

What else do you do on a bank holiday when you're the only one in the universe who hasn't seen the new Doctor? Memed from lizzie_marie_23.

1) Make a list of fifteen characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment.

2) Ask your f-list to post questions in the comments. For example: "One, nine, and fifteen are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from four. Do they succeed?", "Under what circumstances might five and fourteen fall in love?", "Which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?"

3) After your f-list has stopped asking questions, round them up and answer them using the fifteen characters you selected beforehand, then post them.

(Sort of like the reverse of the last one. I'd better go and make a random list).

After that, I should go write something. (And I think I miss the point of the ficlets challenge. It was supposed to be laid back, not 'how soon can I get to the end?'. Maybe I have one tiny, tiny thing in common with Lynda Day after all... )

You're not the ONLY person in the universe who hasn't seen The Eleventh Hour - my parents didn't watch it... Are you not going to watch it?


8, 10 and 11 go on a trip together - who packs the food and who whines the whole time they're travelling?

[thisbluespirit]

:loL: Well, it feels like it looking at my flist!

And how can you ask???? ;-D I am, but someone at work might have recorded it for me, so I'm hanging on till tomorrow, and then I should watch it one way or the other - I'm just badly wanting to watch it on my TV rather than iplayer, if I can! So it's self-imposed, because I could have watched it this morning, but still. I'm pleased - the overal impression seems to be good rather than bad, which is nice whatever I think...

And I like your q!! :-D

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Oh well, if you're going by your FList, it will look that way!

Well I asked because it's been two days since it aired and you didn't give the impression that you were holding off on watching it. But I see my impression was mistaken...

And I like your q!! :-D

Thanks! I confess, I was thinking "If it was Doctors Eight, Ten and Eleven..." :D But I'm not expecting it to be those three!

[thisbluespirit]

I was away! I missed Sat because of a family event, and Sunday my train didn't get in till 7:05 so I couldn't have seen more than half of the BBC3 repeat, so I thought I might as well wait and see if my colleague really did go and record it for me. If not, iplayer, here I come! ;-)

I know, I'm going to be thinking that way every time someone asks a q, if anyone else does - I was just realising that myself after I read yours. Which is also entertaining, of course. Multi Doctor ideas are always fun. (And no, my list is more random than me listing the Doctors in order, plus four extras! :-D)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Okay! I didn't know you were away. (I'm multitalented, but not often psychic! :P)

Multi-Doctor ideas are fab - and if you want to *write* Eight, Ten and Eleven (plus companions) on a roadtrip, I will love you forever! :P

And I did assume you'd picked more characters than just the Doctor (I was assuming the Brig and Liz were in there somewhere, plus, possibly, Harry, Ruth, some folks from Blake's 7 and/or Press Gang).

[thisbluespirit]

I know; I meant to post my 'btw I'm going away post' but ran out of time. I thought I'd been moaning to everyone for several weeks about how I was going to miss the new DW, you see. But then, I've bveen about spasmodic in my LJing lately.

Heh. I have to see Eleven first, though... (Plus I am too amused by the assembled actual characters.) :-D

Hang on - are you sure you're not psychic? :lol: (Except, actually, I haven't got some of those...)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

I didn't see any moans from you about being away over Easter...

Well I wasn't expecting you to write the fic *this instant* - I'm not *that* demanding!

I'm usually only psychic if I haven't had enough sleep and am overtired - apparently sufficient tiredness frees my brain from its usual limitations enough for me to become somewhat psychic, going on past experiences.

[thisbluespirit]

Well, I was moaning round the place; you must have escaped it happily. (Maybe it was on Death by Asprin rather than LJ, and just to jjpor?) I've been a bit random lately, I know.

Oh? ;-D

Okay... :lol:

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Must have been elsewhere...

I can BE that demanding, if you want... :D But I'm happy for you to wait until you've seen a few eps of Eleven and Amy before you write it... :D

[thisbluespirit]

Oh, thank you! :lol:

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! :D

[pitry.livejournal.com]

Oh, watching it on proper telly does make sense... but I guess I'm so happily taken over by the idea of being able to watch the episode when it's on that I don't give a damn it's on my 13.3" screen :) (although, truth be told, I got so used to watching things on my PC, I kinda forgot the joys of big screens and televisions).

Anyway, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it, so hooray!

[thisbluespirit]

It's not so much the screen as being able to sit somewhere comfy! :lol: Besides, I did shamelessly beg my colleague to record it. I need to see whether she did before I go to iplayer.

Oh, I think I will. I'm pretty easily pleased, after all. :-)

[thisbluespirit]

And Ten would so be the one saying "Are we there yet?" :lol:

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Yes, he would!!

Totally OT, but before I forget, I'll mail your two books back to you at the end of the week - I just need to find a *secure* envelope to put them in, first...

[thisbluespirit]

Are you saying my envelope was insecure?

(My Dad once complained to my middle sister that she'd gone out and bought a brand new envelope to post something to him, and she just looked at him and said, "Dad, I'm the only one in this family who does, and somebody needs to..." *cough*) Thanks - did you enjoy?

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

YES I AM!

Honestly, I was amazed all four books were in it still!

I enjoyed re-reading Human Nature. I'm afraid Well-Mannered War eventually bored me into putting it down and not picking it back up. Which was a disappointment.

[thisbluespirit]

My envelope is insecure! Poor envelope. Yep, sorry about that. I was worried about it but only after I posted it... :-/

Cool. Shame about the Well-Mannered War, but there you go. I haven't read them for ages, but I did like the Gareth Roberts MAs (especially The English Way of Death, and The Plotters).

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Nut! :D

Yes it was a shame - I've read several of Gareth's books (incl EWoD) but this one just didn't work for me. Not sure why.

[thisbluespirit]

I can't say anything till I've had a few more qs, but yours has had me laughing my head off at the three characters involved. Oh, dear, oh dear... :lol: It's crazily perfect...

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

*grins* Sounds good...

[thisbluespirit]

Your answer here. :-)

[pitry.livejournal.com]

2 and 5 are trying to take over the world together. So do 7 and 13, at the same time.

Can 9 cooperate with 15 to stop them?

[thisbluespirit]

:lol:

Sorry, I'll share the joke eventually, but it's mainly because 2 and 5 would while 7 and 13 only ever in a Macbeth sort of way (and that's an interesting co-incidence) and 9 and 15 are the team of Awesome like you wouldn't believe...

I'll stop laughing in a minute.

[pitry.livejournal.com]

All hail my amazing powers of pairing random characters? :D :d *is now dead curious*

[thisbluespirit]

Your answer here!

[john_amend_all]

Welcome back!

1, 3, 8 and 12 go out for a meal. What do they order, and how do they split the bill?

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! (I want to join this dinner party, but then it *is* my list of characters...) ;-D

[thisbluespirit]

Your answer here. :-)

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

If five and eleven were having a fight, would three try and mediate or pick a side, if so, which side would s/he pick, and who would win in the end?

Er, that was about three questions. Sorry. ;D

And yes, the general reaction to Eleven seems to be very positive, which pleases me greatly, because I thought he was great. Hope you get to see it soon.

[thisbluespirit]

Heh. It is hard not to picture Doctors when you put it like that. :lol:

I'll say nothing more, except you will be amazed at the logic of your choices. :-D

[thisbluespirit]

Answers to your scarily apt qs here. ;-)

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

7, 9 and 13 build a treehouse together. Who's in charge of the group and who's scared to come down afterwards?

Why is 5 crying in a corner?

Which character would try to assassinate 14?

What's 3's favorite song?

[thisbluespirit]

Heh, thanks! Nice qs. :-)

[thisbluespirit]

Answers to your question here!

[clocketpatch]

15 was going out with 2, but then it ended - how did it end (and how did it start/i<>?!?) and who will cheer up 15 now that it's over? Why is 2 now dating 7?

And, mostly importantly, how many questions did I jut ask? lol, sorry.

[thisbluespirit]

No, more importantly, you have no idea of the random pairing you've just suggested here. *goes to lie down and recover*

[thisbluespirit]

Answer to your scary shippage question here. ;-)

[daibhid-c.livejournal.com]

2, 9 and 14 are locked in a room together. Who goes mad from having to deal with the other two first?

[thisbluespirit]

Answer to meme here.

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

4 and 6 find themselves trapped in a lift together - how do they pass the time until they're freed?

[stellastars]

If 4 started a LiveJournal, what would his/her username be and why? ;-)

[thisbluespirit]

Complete meme failure here. *cough*
