Links, Plus Meme Answers
First, here are the answers to a meme, taken from silvercobwebs.
-Leave me a casual comment of no particular significance, like a lyric to your current favorite song, your favorite kind of sandwich, or maybe your favorite game. Any remark, meaningless or not.
-I will respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
-Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
-Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in your own post.
-When others respond with a desultory comment, you will ask them five questions.
1) If you could live somewhere else, where would you go?
Probably somewhere in England, just because I’ve always wanted to go there, and I find the history of the country interesting.
2) Do you have a fandom guilty secret? (e.g. obsessive reader of badfic)
Well, the nearest I can think of is mpreg, but only if it’s written well. It’s not really a secret—more like a guilty pleasure.
3) Is there something you've been meaning to write, but it just keeps getting put off?
Ha! Just look at the list of fanfics I’m writing a few posts back. It’s not really being put off, though.
4) Traveling with The Doctor or working in Torchwood. Which would you do?
I would say the Doctor. I wouldn’t want to play musical beds if I worked at Torchwood. If I rejected Jack’s advances, we might end up with a universe imploding, or a hole in the fabric of reality, or something equally bad.
5) Who do you dislike that everyone seems to love? (or vice versa)
When I was more interested in the Buffy fandom, I liked Dawn, and a lot of people seemed to hate her. There are a few out there that dislike Willow, but I've always liked her--well, except for the mess in season 6.
In the Doctor Who/Torchwood fandom? I know some people who dislike Simm!Master, but I enjoyed his insanity. I also like the Valeyard, since the concept, at least, is interesting.
Next, here are a couple of ficathons that I just thought I would spread the word about. The first is being hosted over atsmith_n_jones, and is for stories set when Martha and the Doctor were trapped in 1969 during Blink. I just signed up for it.
This next ficathon (called the Finish-a-thon--they explain the concept better than I can) is more where you pretty much finish an unfinished story of yours. Others decide which it should be, and you try to finish it. I likely won’t sign up, since other than the fanfics I’m currently working on (or will work on) the only thing that’s floating around in limbo is a Highlander fanfic that I abandoned.
