A meme

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


ETA: All done.

Ha... well, for pubs that's got to be Vila and Mollari. Unless you're reckoning you need one drinking crony who doubles up as a bouncer, in which case Pullo.

Hm. Should I turn back to the crew and try Cally, or cast my net wider?

Oh gods, you can't possibly be going for Centurion Tedius Vorenus?

Friends close, enemies closer - G'Kar?

Pullo has recently been invited on the pub crawl. But not Vila or Mollari. Yet.


Should I turn back to the crew and try Cally

A very good idea. Bingo!


Oh gods, you can't possibly be going for Centurion Tedius Vorenus?

'Fraid so!


Friends close, enemies closer - G'Kar?

That's my boy.

Hm. Well, if you're not picking them on their drinking capacity... if I were crawling round a pub, I'd like to have the Doctor and Marcus on the floor next to me.

My drinking companions are picked to be a combination of decorativeness and also maximum potential for exploits.

Precisely my criteria for picking the Doctor and Marcus. But if you insist on Faramir and Captain Jack...

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2005-12-20 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn, should have thought of inviting Captain Jack. Faramir's there, definitely.

You made Faramir pretty obvious, so I don't think I get that one. Hm. Looking over the remaining candidates, either you fancy Giles or it's someone I don't know. None of the girls quite seem to fit your requirements.

Well, I considered her, but I always understood that you preferred the character to the actor, so I'd crossed her off your list of potential decorations.

I think she'd get on with Garak, though.

It's wanting to see what they could cook up together that intrigues me...

Which of 'em will she try to pull?

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2005-12-20 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I sense a poll coming on...

No, no - before this thread collapses, I protest, I didn't get Faramir and Anna, you thrust them on me with your icons!

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2005-12-20 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
You were practically there.

[Watches the house of cards folding] No I wasn't! I never got anywhere near Faramir, and I specifically ruled out all the girls!
