Meme

[thisbluespirit]

I got tagged by persiflage_1 to do this meme. I have to tag people as well - apologies if anyone doesn't want to be...

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it".



1. fact This is the first time I've been tagged to do a meme. (I think.)

2. quirk I get obsessive about which pen/paper I write which story with/on. But not scarily so. I will write with/on anything to hand when the moment calls for it.

3. fact I own too many books and still give the wrong ones away.

4. habit I tap the covers of books when I read. Luckily, I usually read on my own.

5. fact I'm finding this a really hard meme.

6. quirk When presented with a prompt for fic, I look at it, then work out how to turn it upside down and try and get in the back way (as it were).

7. fact I am therefore too obscure for my own good, but some people like this, some people really don't. (Someone once suggested I wrote a Nine/Rose Phantom crossover. I had to confess my immediate reaction was "...So, do they sing?" This was not what the person was expecting, I feel. We parted, still friends, but with fic unwritten. And recipients in ficathons don't always appreciate this either. The people who hang around here with me don't seem to mind).

Oh, look, I managed it!

Okay, I tag: 1. jjpor, 2. stellastars, 3. velvetfacism, 4. john_elliott, 5. daibhid_c, 6. primsong and 7. ravenskyewalker to do the same.

(belantana, I had a feeling you might not like it!)

Heh. You would. Yes, naturally I meant Phantom of the Opera (and in this case, we were talking the book, show and film.)

The Phantom Head Shaver of Brighton does indeed sound like a fic in the making! That's priceless. :-D

Well, I'm not telling; I wouldn't worry. It's not as if mine is that massive, either. :lol:

Spike Milligan seems to have been rather fond of that kind of title; the episode before The Phantom Head Shaver of Brighton was The Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler of Bexhill-on-Sea.

I've never experienced the Phantom of the Opera — the closest I've come is reading Maskerade.

[thisbluespirit]

Heh.

I have to confess that I love Phantom. And I love Maskerade to pieces. Maskerade does come pretty close - it even has Michael Crawford in it! ;-)

You have been and gone and done it now. Oh yes.

[thisbluespirit]

Hah!! Very funny. :-)

Yup, I am now going to officially declare myself your Muse, I think. Or tormentor or something, but aren't they the same thing in the Round? ;-D

This is probably why we've never been seen in TTR at the same moment - I'm too busy running and hiding under tables, after saying things like, "Macbeth, eh?" and "Wilkie Collins!"

Then again, you won the drabble tennis...

*wonders about own muse*

Probably some rampant flitting irritating fairy that only looks cute from a distance, but has TEETH.

(Sorry, I think I need to stop typing and go to bed. Brain levels are low..)

Well, I couldn't wish for a more charming Muse. Or tormentor.

Only by using a double-drabble, which may count as cheating :-)

[thisbluespirit]

Aww, compliments! *thinks* Hmm, what do you want? ;-)

And, no you definitely won the drabble tennis match because I could see there was only one way to end it - surrender! I mean, if Zoe and Jamie really, really want to sing dodgy ballads that badly, well... :lol:
