Oh, no, not another meme!

[thisbluespirit]

Belatedly, and against my better judgement, I've decided to run with this meme, taken from both clocketpatchand jjpor. (After all, I did make requests of both of them...)

Give me two characters from different fandoms you know I'm familiar with, and I'll give you a dialogue happening between the two of them. Without justifying how the crossover would work, how their worlds clashed or how they could even meet each other. Just a silly crossover conversation with no backstory, for fun.

For something like this, I'm willing to do almost anything I've seen/read reasonably often or at least retain some definite memory of. (It's a long story, but I've attempted more insane things elsewhere, for characters I know NOTHING about... And got away with it, too. *blushes*)

So, here goes, but anything I've mentioned here before is fair game.

Doctor Who (pretty much any)
Spooks
Buffy & Angel
X-Files
ST - but only Voyager, I'm afraid.
Carry On films
Allo Allo
Dungeons & Dragons (The cartoon!)
The Mummy
Gosford Park
Love Actually
Red Dwarf
The Brittas Empire
On The Up
Poirot & Miss Marple
New Tricks
Life on Mars & Ashes to Ashes
Chalet School series
Diana Wynne Jones (well, I'd have a stab)
Anne Perry books
I know Discworld, but I'm feeling wimpish about making the attempt...
...But for the moment at any rate, I can get away with Blandings (PG Wodehouse) &, so I'd have a stab at  Jeeves and Wooster, too.
Georgette Heyer
Harry Potter
Press Gang
Wilkie Collins (esp. The Moonstone & The Woman in White)
Jane Austen
Charlotte Bronte
I have read / read an awful lot of 'classics', plus for work-reasons, I read a huge amount of teen and children's books, so try me if you think of something.   
While You Were Sleeping
Hmm, Ive already done one crossover with The Two Ronnies, so I suppose that should go in here, too...
Star Wars
Adrian  Plass
I Capture The Castle
Fairy  tales
 
I think that's more than enough bizarre things, isn't it? Let's hope it hasn't scared everyone away!!! 

*wonders if I will regret this*

An obvious one, maybe, but...Gordon Brittas, meet Arnold J Rimmer...

Or you could just do that one where Four, Harry and Sarah Jane turn up for Genesis of the Daleks, only to find themselves confronted by Herr Leutnant Gruber from 'Allo 'Allo... XD

[thisbluespirit]

Ohhhh dear.... :lol:

Should we just rename this meme 'Rimmer-fest'?

I'll do my best. I make no promises as to quite how and when, though.

[thisbluespirit]

A Brittas Empire/ Red Dwarf cross awaits you here in this post.

I hope it doesn't disappoint.

[paranoidangel]

Harry Sullivan and Harry Pearce

[thisbluespirit]

Lovely!! I've no idea *how*, but I'll think of something. :-D

[pedanther]

You know, according to the Virgin spin-off novels ('System Shock' and 'Millennium Shock' are the relevant titles), Harry Sullivan transferred to Five after he left UNIT...

[thisbluespirit]

I know. I forgot... I remembered, but i still don't believe it. ;-D The two Harrys one is actually written already, just not typed up. But thanks for the nudge in the right direction!

[thisbluespirit]

I have finally got around to typing this up properly. It's in this post, here.

:-)

[clocketpatch]

Ten and Mr. Darcy?

Watching P&P and Casanova too close together has done things to my mind...

[thisbluespirit]

The very idea is making me chuckle already. :-D (Do you have a particular Mr Darcy in view? I'm of the generation that will automatically default to Colin, but I'll bear Matthew in mind if you'd rather). :-D

[clocketpatch]

I default to Colin as well, and would be more than slightly disappointed if he wasn't the reference point being used.

[daibhid-c.livejournal.com]

A bit of Inspector Thompson and Jools Siviter seems oddly appealing...

[thisbluespirit]

For a minute there, I was wondering 'who' and then, of course, of course. :-D

Which of them has the time machine? :lol: Bet he'd call him Insp Thomas, too.

[thisbluespirit]

The work is done. I avoided time travel, coming up with the only other possible way of doijng it I could think of, so I hope it's not a disappointment.

Anyway, the story is to be found here in the next post.

[john_amend_all]

This pun you may with lamentation greet.
Nevertheless, the following I pose:
How Sergeant Cuff would fare if he should meet
Miss Tyler (Rose)?

[thisbluespirit]

A request in rhyme! I was so impressed I didn't mind the pun at all. :-)

[thisbluespirit]

After I don't know how long, I have taken a deep breath, plunged in and tried feebly to ape Wilkie Collins. The resulting mess is here. I hope you enjoy it. ;-)

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Ooh, this looks great! For some reason, a conversation between Lister and Davros sounds temptingly bizarre . . .

[thisbluespirit]

I love it when I find my friends are madder than me... :-D

Bear with me, cos that'll take a little thinking about, compared to some of the others! But it shall be done.

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Not to influence you at all, but I now have a mental picture of Lister telling Davros to chill out and have a curry. : )

(Just in case you weren't absolutely sure that I was mad.)

Looking forward to what you come up with, whenever you come up with it!

[thisbluespirit]

No, that sounds like Lister. I'm doing some of the others first. The only trouble with this one is that I rather suspect there's no way of writing it as funny as it ought to be.

But I will entertain myself trying. :-D

[thisbluespirit]

After much prevaricating, the requested cross is now posted here. :-)

[belantana.livejournal.com]

Oh my, you are insane for offering this. I believe I saw Jools Siviter mentioned up there and I don't care who on earth he talks to but as long as you make the man talk I will wave my hands about in excitement. OH OH OH, someone from Press Gang, omg omg.

[thisbluespirit]

I must be, but these suggestions are gloriously bonkers! I love them so much! And Jools in Press Gang - well, there was only ONE thing he could be doing there.

So your fic is here in the next post. I hope you enjoy it. You know, I've been waiting for the excuse to do Press Gang. :-D

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Martha Jones and Billy Mack. Hee...

[thisbluespirit]

Oh, you would!!! I thought i'd get yours done, but I did one of the longer ones instead. I'm afraid it will be short because how else can I keep it from being into ratings I don't even read, let alone write...?

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Predictable!Pers is predictable...

[thisbluespirit]

I so didn't see it coming. Otherwise I might not have stuck Love Actually down there. (You do know that's where I get 'very busy and important' from, don't you? It amused me in the film!)

And, erm, will get it typed up! (I have this sort of 200-ish sccribbled thing in a notebook. Oh, yes.)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Yes I did know that's where you got 'very busy and important' from - I've watched the film at least half a dozen times... Billy Mack pwns my soul! :D

Okay then...

[thisbluespirit]

Well, I thought so, but it occurred to me that I should stop automatically assuming these things. (You might, after all, having been so distracted by Bill that you failed to notice Hugh Grant on the telephone.)

:lol:

Erm, yes, sorry. Just typed up someone else's story. *whistles innocently*

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Nope, I wasn't that distracted!! :D

So I saw. I've been reading more of the Ten Doctors comic so I haven't looked at it yet, but I got the email notif. Going to go and read it now.

Not the Ideal Patient...

[thisbluespirit]

Finally - I typed up your little encounter. It's very short, cos otherwise I wouldn't be able to write it, with badly behaved Billy in it. And somethings are entirely left to the imagination, cos I just *do not want to know*. Hope it amuses for a few seconds, anyway. (And given this cross, does this mean that Hugh Grant is the PM killed by Slitheen?)

“Jones,” said Dr Reynolds, the consultant. “You’re not the type to be ridiculous about some aging pop star, are you? Not likely to swoon or ask for autographs?”

She bit back a curious smile. “No, sir.”

“Right, then, you can assist me. Patient is in the private room – Billy Mack.”

She frowned and dredged up a memory of a novelty Christmas single that had somehow made it to number one despite all the odds and a complete lack of any taste.

“He’s -,” the doctor began, then shrugged to himself, and lowered his tone to explain in her ear.

Martha raised her eyebrows. “Really?”

“Try to keep a straight face,” he advised. “Get on in there, tell him I’ll be along in a minute and he’s not to go anywhere. Shouldn’t think he’d try, considering, but still.”

She nodded and headed off to the private room as directed. She surveyed the patient lying in front of her. “Morning, sir. Now how did you get yourself into this mess?”

He lifted his head and opened his mouth, then caught her eye and abandoned his reply. “Don’t ask.”

“Yeah,” she said ruefully. “I was just thinking I probably didn't want to know.”

He sniffed. “Well, where’s the sawbones gone?”

“Dr Reynolds will be here shortly,” she said, deciding it wasn’t worth pointing out that had she not still been a few months short finishing her training, she might have been the doctor herself. “You lie still and it’ll soon be over.”

He glared at her.

It was hard to keep a straight face, but Martha managed.

“I suppose you’re going to tell me it’s not going to hurt, either?” he demanded.

She smiled then. “I’m not making any reckless promises, sir.”

“Hark at Miss Prim and Proper. You sound like you could do a spot of being reckless. Everyone should do something really stupid now and then.” He grinned.

Martha said, “Something really stupid? Yeah, I can see you’re the expert there.”

A brief encounter, one that made her giggle at the memory, but he wasn’t the last strange patient who dealt in flouting convention and being reckless. Funny, really.

*giggles* Thanks for that...

[infinitejoys.livejournal.com]

Charlotte Lucas and Turlough.

(Welcome to the random pairing generator that is my brain.)

[thisbluespirit]

Heh. Well, I'm impressed, anyway!

[infinitejoys.livejournal.com]

If it's too out there, let me know and I'll go with something a little more...sane.

[thisbluespirit]

Hey, I said I was impressed. *wibbles* You can't take it back now! I wroted it. In rough, anyway.

[infinitejoys.livejournal.com]

I thought you meant "impressed" in the sense of "I am impressed by your COMPLETE AND TOTAL INSANITY," which is how I would have reacted to me.

I am really excited to go read it!! And I will do that...now.

[thisbluespirit]

:lol: No, I lost my sanity years ago. (And I know very well that you cannot be completely sane to work in libraries!!!)

Love your TARDIS icon, btw.

[thisbluespirit]

I have now posted the resulting story in this post, here. I hope you like it!
