Two Older Memes

[calliopes_pen]

Two older memes are making the rounds again, so here you go. First up, it’s the Fifteen Characters Meme. It seems to be becoming a yearly thing.

1) Make a list of fifteen characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment.

2) Ask your f-list to post questions in the comments. For example: "One, nine, and fifteen are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from four. Do they succeed?", "Under what circumstances might five and fourteen fall in love?", "Which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?"

3) After your f-list has stopped asking questions, round them up and answer them using the fifteen characters you selected beforehand, then post them.

And the Time Stamp Meme is going around again, too:

Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll try to write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

Why did 3 and 7 decide to take over a planet, and what is 9's reaction?

Which character (from a different canon) would 2 want on their side during an alien invasion?

12 has to teach a class to 1, 8, and 14. Which subject do they teach, and what kind of students are 1, 8, and 14?

2 is in love with 12, how would 2 try to woo? :)

6, 3 and 13 are on Dancing With The Stars. Who wins, and how do the others react?

2 and 14 encounter 8 in a graveyard at night. What are they doing there?

Fair warning: I am happy to play the "fifteen characters" game (and have done it before, from both ends), but I tend to come up with really peculiar questions.

With that in mind:

4 and 6 wake up to find themselves handcuffed together in such a fashion that picking the locks isn't an option. Was it 9 or 15 who was responsible, why did they do it, and will 11 be able to help the cuffed duo free themselves?

The Plot Gods force 1 to play "cliff/shag/marry" with 6, 9, and 10. What happens?

5,7 and 12 are participating in Yuletide for the first time, and are assigned to write stories for other characters from the list, possibly but not necessarily including each other. The assigned writer for each of them is also someone from the list. Tell us a little about at least three of the six stories resulting from this situation (and which of the 15 characters has actually been doing Yuletide for years now).

3 and 15 discussing the end of the world.

13, 3, 5 and 7 all meet for coffee - what's the conversation like?

4 is plotting to take over the world with the help of 10. Only 6 can save us all! How doomed are we?

5 & 9 set up a coffee shop together. What's it called, how successful is it - and what is it really a cover for?

11 & 15 get trapped in a haunted house. Who keeps their cool, who sees the ghost - and who do they call in to help them from the rest of the list?

7 and 10 learn they're now soul-mates. Tell us about their epic romance.
