A meme

[altariel]

From espresso_addict:

1. Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/etc. that you've had an obsessive fannish love of at some time in your life.
2. Have your friends list guess your favourite character from each item.



1. Blake's 7 -- Cally (kalypso_v)
2. Deep Space Nine... that's far too bleedin' obvious, try guessing my second favourite character: -- Kira (communicator got the character, mikekellner got the name)
3. The Lord of the Rings -- Galadriel (aervir was not fooled by fanfic output and remembered my alter ego)
4. Firefly -- Simon (stultiloquentia)
5. Rome -- Vorenus (kalypso_v)
6. Law and Order: Criminal Intent -- Bobby Goren (communicator)
7. ST:TNG -- Q (communicator)
8. The West Wing -- C.J. (kalypso_v)
9. The Moomin books -- Snufkin (communicator)
10. Buffy -- Xander (kradical)
11. Babylon 5 -- G'Kar (kalypso_v, with katlinel a split second behind)
12. The Vorkosigan books -- Gregor (katlinel)
13. Doctor Who 2005 -- Raffalo the blue plumber (kalypso_v)
14. The Stand -- Glen Bateman (ladybarnard)
15. Elizabeth Enright's Melendy family books -- Oliver Melendy (chazzbanner)

Bonus question: which four fictional characters are invited on my equally fictional pub crawl? (Clue: three are off telly, one is from a book, and only one of them is on the above list.)
-- Garak (mikekellner; that's the one that counts as being from the above list)
-- Titus Pullo, Faramir, Anna Grant (kalypso_v)


ETA: All done.

Here are two wild guesses:

3. Galadriel.

13. Captain Jack perhaps.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

3. Bingo!

13. Nope.

[stultiloquentia.livejournal.com]

2. Deep Space Nine... that's far too bleedin' obvious, try guessing my second favourite character Ha! I've *never seen the show* and I can name your character. But not #2.
3. The Lord of the Rings Hm. I'm second-guessing myself. Faramir ... or Galadriel?
4. Firefly Dark-haired, angsty and cerebral.
5. Rome Hm. The little fellow? Octavian?
10. Buffy Hm. Giles.
13. Doctor Who 2005 The Doctor hi'self?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

2. The world must know his name!
3. Right second time, tho' aervir just got in before you.
4. You betcha!
5. Nope.
10. Nope.
13. Nope!

12. The Vorkosigan books - Gregor

That's the only one I'm sure of. The rest I will have to ponder.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Don't have an icon for him, but yes :-)

[communicator.livejournal.com]

Looking forward to hearing the answers to some of these. here are some ill-informed guesses

2 - can't remember her name, but I think she went out with Odo
3 - Faramir?
6 - Eames
7 - Q
9 - Snufkin
13 - I thought it was the doctor, but that seems too obvious

[communicator.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah 4 - Simon

[altariel.livejournal.com]

2. Oh yes, well done!
3. You'd think so, but no.
6. Nothing so unobvious!
7. Absolutely!
9. Again, well done! (Although I don't have him on an icon.)
13. No.

[yonmei.livejournal.com]

Oh, good meme! I have no guesses, but I have stolen it.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Enjoy! I'm wishing I'd done all 20 now, but whenever I have to think up this kind of thing, I freeze.

DS9 : #2 Miles O'Brien or Major Kira

LoTR : Think you are Galadriel, vicariously live the life of Éowyn, and have naughty thoughts about the Sons of Denethor, appreciating each for their unique qualities.

ST:TNG : Counsellor Troy

Pub Crawl : Garrak, Scarlett O'Hara, Jonathan Higgins, and Marge Simpson. OK, I made the last three up, but it would make for an interesting evening.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

DS9: Right second time!
LotR: Frighteningly well put!
ST:TNG: No, see above - I lean towards my delusions of godhood rather than my better impulses

Pub Crawl: that would be a... fascinating evening. Garak is one of them. But who is Jonathan Higgins?

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Now, that's an interesting question; I don't think I have any idea of your favourite character in Blake's 7, and I see no one else has guessed. Oh, hang on; I was thinking about crew, and vaguely wondering about Vila, though I couldn't actually think of a reason why. But if we can go outside crew, I'm guessing Anna Grant.

As for The Show I'm Too Bored To Insult, I seem to remember your expressing a fondness for Pullo, which seems reasonable given the choice and the fact that you've already declined Octavius. (Octavius, I tell you! He won't be Octavian until next season!)

West Wing: oh, I dunno, CJ?

Babylon 5: um... er... I'll just have to follow my own instincts and go for Mollari.

Doctor Who 2005: I'm tempted to keep guessing Nancy until one of my friends owns up to having her as a favourite. But... was it you who liked the blue plumber?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Not Vila, tho' he was my favourite when I was little. Not Anna, although she came close.

Not Pullo. Close, but not Pullo.

C.J. - you said it!

Mollari - no, but... close...

It was indeed me who liked the blue plumber! :-)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

You named two of the pub crawl characters.

[kradical.livejournal.com]

1. Avon.
5. Pullo.
8. Toby.
10. Xander.
11. Marcus Cole.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

1. Nope!
2. Close, but nope!
8. I so nearly picked Toby! But no (see icon).
10. Bingo!
11. Nope!

[ladybarnard.livejournal.com]

10. Willow?
14. Glen Bateman?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

10. No - see above.
14. Bingo! A sociologist who uses his powers for good!

Since no-one else has got this one yet, I thought I'd take a stab at it.

11. Babylon 5 - G'Kar

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Oooh, just a split second behind kalypso_v!

[hafren.livejournal.com]

I thought (1) might be Jenna.....

[altariel.livejournal.com]

My heart had already been stolen by the telepath.

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Curses, I got in too late to try this. I would definitely have guessed Glen, though.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

The friends' list was very speedy on this one. And I thought you'd get Glen.

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

Dash it, I missed this entirely, and now they've all gone! Didn't realise you were a Q fan, though I suppose it figures. And Xander? (Goes away trying to realign mental picture of altariel1's personality...)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Everyone was very quick.

Xander? (Goes away trying to realign mental picture of altariel1's personality...)

I think he's sweet.

[lame-pegasus.livejournal.com]

Glen Bateman, yes?

*smiles*

My favorite one is Larry Underwood.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed! :-)
