Memes ahoy!

[thisbluespirit]

Did I say there would be spammage? Well, here it is, but this is it (for the moment).

Memed from pitry and justice_turtle:

A meme: Give me one fandom I write/rec/read AND a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc) or another time period (Ancient Rome, Regency England, etc). I will then explain the gist of the story I would write for that AU.


Another Meme: Give me a pairing and I will tell you:
1. What they most commonly do during sex
2. Who has prettier hair
3. What they argue about most often
4. Who'd cope best if the other one died
5. The happiest plausible happily-ever-after I can think of for them.

(You do need to accept that I will probably side-step answering #1 of the second meme.)

And can I add that pitry's response to the suggestion of a UNIT pirate AU is highly entertaining and awesome?



persiflage_1 selected 5 of my icons in a meme:

1.
Martha icon by just_say_maybe. I needed a Martha icon at the time, and liked this one. What more can I say?

2.

Made by kathyh. I love this because it's not only a Giles icon that refs the Discworld's Librarian, but appropriate when I'm talking about being a librarian. And just generally as a 'shocked' icon, too. It's stayed on my userpics for a long time now.

3.

An all-pupose icon for fantasy, writing etc., that I made from a Dungeons & Dragons screencap. It isn't a quote, just text I put on it. I still quite like it, whereas I usually get fed up with my own icons very quickly.

4.

Another one of mine. Um. One of my "I think this is terribly amusing" icons I make occasionally that no one else thinks is funny. (Like my HoE French and Saunders icon.) I am so witty, not. And Silver does lend himself to silly text icons very nicely.

5.

One of the Big Finish icons I made lately. If LJ hand't been silly, I'd have posted them yesterday. This one's from Chimes of Midnight (probably still my favourite BFA). It also amuses me. I won't explain - if you don't know, you need to listen to the audio. It is very good, so you should.

A complete tangent, but...

"How long is this gonna go on for?" Rose demanded.

"As long as I deem necessary," Lilith de Tempscire replied, her attention fixed on the tape measure. "Hmm. I think some padding may be called for."

"Padding?" Rose repeated.

"My dear child, you cannot be a serving wench unless you are suitably buxom."

"You know what you are?" Rose tried to lean forward, but the Sisters' grip was like iron. "You're a control freak. And a loony. And you can shove that stupid wand—"

"And saucy, of course," Lilith added offhandedly. "But in that respect, you have amply proved yourself."

:-)

And, seriously? I suppose I haven't been paying enough attention but I'd supposed Rose to be fairly well qualified on both counts.

I've spent ages trying to reply to this and stay within the bounds of good taste :-) Offhand I wouldn't have thought of Rose as buxom, but having seen pictures of Billie Piper in other rôles (including her turn as Cassandra in New Earth), yes, she probably could pull it off given the right costume.
