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.

Here are two wild guesses:

3. Galadriel.

13. Captain Jack perhaps.

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?

12. The Vorkosigan books - Gregor

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

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

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

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.
ext_6322: (Mollari)

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?

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

10. Willow?
14. Glen Bateman?

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

11. Babylon 5 - G'Kar

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

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

[identity profile] espresso-addict.livejournal.com 2005-12-20 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
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 [livejournal.com profile] altariel1's personality...)

[identity profile] lame-pegasus.livejournal.com 2005-12-20 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Glen Bateman, yes?

*smiles*

My favorite one is Larry Underwood.
