Fannish Items of Interest
The two best April Fool’s prank articles were probably the following: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: America 1988. Including Doc from Back to the Future, MacGyver, and Mr. T. And the other one involved a man from the future trying to shut down the Large Hadron Collider. Favorite quote from that article? A description of the future: "It's a chocolate communist hellhole!" It references Mr. Fusion from Back to the Future. The guy in question was most likely the Eleventh Doctor.
Today is Talk Like A Dalek Day.
You can read an interview with Matt Smith here. He admits that he’s written fanfic involving the Doctor and Einstein in Ancient Egypt.
Once I’ve found and downloaded The Eleventh Hour, then I’ll do a reaction post. For now, I’m just putting every reaction from my friends list into a Word document--and trying desperately not to look and get myself spoiled.
The list of drabbles I’m writing (minus two prompts fromwiggiemomsi, since she’s good with one single story) from the Support Stacie Auction are:
-Forkatherine_b: Ten, Donna, and a pear.
-Forjuliet316: Ten and Donna, Egypt
-Forjuliet316: Ten/Rose, his REAL Reward
And now, answering a meme frommagikfanfic--a little bit late, as it got buried under a ton of e-mail. Five questions from the Resistance is Futile meme, two of which are RPG related.
-Leave a comment saying "Resistance is Futile".
- I'll respond by asking you five questions to satisfy my curiosity.
- Update your journal with the answers to your questions (if you want).
- Include this explanation and offer to ask other people questions (if you want).
1. Which Doctor Who companion is your favorite and why?
I’m thinking that would probably be Donna Noble. She was just the best person for the Doctor to have around. Someone that would both figuratively and literally smack some sense into him when it was needed, as well as be there for him when things went wrong.
2. What fandom do you prefer to RP in?
The X-Men fandom. It’s the fandom that I pretty much always return to, no matter what other fandom I try.
3. What would be your perfect RP scenario?
If I had answered this when I was first given the questions, I would have said that I had no idea. However, now? Apparently, it’s a scenario involving characters getting possessed and things getting scary and characters growing from everything associated with that--I didn’t expect that, even though I really love fanfic like that. So at this point it's Revenant, basically.
4. Where would you live if you had the means to live anywhere in the world?
I really don’t know. England? My reasoning for that is primarily geek-related today, as they get Doctor Who first, along with so many other good shows.
5. DC or Marvel? Why?
Marvel. I tend to keep track of that universe more than I do the DC Universe. I go back and forth every so often, but I'll almost always like Marvel more. One of the very first comics I read when I was very little--around 2 or 3 years old--was the original Magik miniseries with Illyana. This might explain a lot about me, when you think about it. The very first X-Men comic I read was the one where Kitty first sees Lockheed--the Brood were involved. A quick check of Wikipedia says that was Uncanny X-Men #166. I was 2, I believe.
