Fannish Items of Interest

Since I like what I’ve seen of Merlin so far, I was reading the Wikipedia entry for it--and found out there was a Children in Need special where they had to defeat a Pudsey, by locking Merlin in the stocks. Cute. If you haven’t seen it, you can watch it here. How they kept from laughing during those scenes, I’ll never know. And from what I’ve seen of the series (up to episode 8) so far, I think Merlin likes getting locked in the stocks.

From Den of Geek: Underappreciated Movies: Ghostbusters II.

And answering the cliff meme one more time--netgirl_y2k gave me Bluesuit!Doctor, Merlin, the Master. First, I would throw The Master off the cliff. Knowing him, he’ll be back later. The next two are tougher, but I guess I would sleep with Bluesuit!Doctor. Marry Merlin.

azriona gave me Willow Rosenberg, Doctor Horrible, and Joss Whedon. Marry Joss, sleep with Willow, and throw Doctor Horrible off a cliff. I feel a little bit sorry for the guy, but maybe he invented something that will keep him from getting killed.

The Cartoon Network is changing—they don’t want to show as many cartoons.

And according to the final results of the poll over at the Finish-A-Thon, the story that I will write is...

“Donna must use pie to save the Doctor from a tiny alien race that have used a shrink ray on him and imprisoned him in their ship with other assorted animals and sentient beings. As you might expect from the summary, it would be a humor-filled story.”

I dunno about you, but it seems somewhat counterintuitive to me. They ARE the Cartoon Network, after all.

Very true. Then again, the Sci-Fi Channel no longer wants to be associated with science fiction, and AMC shows Catwoman a lot--not a classic, by any means. So it's just nuts.

Exactly - none of the target stations, possibly with the exception of BBC America, shows the kind of thing that they're ostensibly all about.

I hadn't seen that Children in Need special. Hilarious! Thanks for sharing.

Yes, be proud! The most insane prompt on the list won. *laughs*

A few were cheering over that win in a thread over at multific, too.

Anytime you need especially cracky prompts, I am happy to oblige.
