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.

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?

(Katlinel at work)

12. The Vorkosigan books - Gregor

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

[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]

3. Bingo!

13. Nope.

[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!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Who else?!

[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.

[chazzbanner.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, I'm one of the few(ish) that know the Melendy family series! Err, Oliver?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Got it in one! :-D

[communicator.livejournal.com]

6 - I was trying to be too clever - it must be Bobby

[mikekellner.livejournal.com]

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]

The boy himself.

[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?

[mikekellner.livejournal.com]

Higgens is Tom Magnum's straight man in Magnum PI. If you never watched it, Tom is an Ex Military Intelligence guy turned Private Investigator in Hawaii. He lives on the estate of trashy romance novelest and zillionare Robyn Masters. Higgens is the Brit Butler, and Magnum's keeper. (In the end, we learn that Higgins is Robyn Masters, and the butler act is a disguise allowing him to lead a normal life, plus he is embarrassed at the trash he writes, but enjoys the upgrade in lifestyle.) Higgens is ex career Royal Army.

Hmmmmm..... delusions of godhood Dr what's his name who made Data & Lore?

[mikekellner.livejournal.com]

I am sure it is Higgins, my typing and spelling are almost as bad as my proof reading.

[kradical.livejournal.com]

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

[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]

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

[altariel.livejournal.com]

You named two of the pub crawl characters.
