I really shouldn't be taking even meme prompts since I have so many others left to fulfill, but I love this kind of a meme so I wanted to try it? /lousy excuse

Either way, here it is. Taken from merfilly, you can give me:

1. Five times "Character X" did "Some thing" (fandom?)

or

2. Five Fanons I hold for "Character Y" in "Fandom Z"

And then I'll give you those things in return.

After a giant pouring of TMI, it's time to return to the regular stuff. Time for meme!

( Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season) )

( Day 04 - Your favorite show ever )

( Day 05 - A show you hate )

( Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show )

( Day 07 - Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show )

( Day 08 - A show everyone should watch )

My vacation also started today which means.. well, visiting a few doctors for starters, but also writing! My 750 words count is past 20 000 at the moment, so in theory that should mean things are going great for me on that front.

I have things to share!

- This post is a description of my life. I'm actually okay with this.

- For Mad Men-fans and friends of clothes, be sure to check Tom & Lorenzo's (who run an awesome blog about fashion and TV-shows) series on clothes in Mad Men and what those clothes tell about their wearers. Awesome stuff.

- My 750 Words process keeps on being a process, and after last week's break of the word dam in general this week was all about my creativity dam breaking, which means I have finally reached that stage again where I don't hate everything I write. YES! \o/

- Thanks to this I'm finally, FINALLY getting around to posting my woefully late help_haiti fic, after which I'll write the other stuff I've promised to people. A lesson learned: Don't participate in these events gain because this is PATHETIC AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED, SELF.

- I've been riding on a massive emotional roller-coaster for, like, forever, ranging from life changes to a long-time identity issue, but now things are starting to click in place. I feel extremely great over this.

- Will get around to posting the posts for my latest meme (LJ/DW) as well as the memes mrasaki tagged me for a long time ago (seriously, who is late in doing meme answers?). But in order to aid myself in getting rid of the "never post anything ever" habit, here is a 30 Days Of TV Meme.

( Day 01 - A show that should never have been cancelled )

( Rest of the days )

My life is going to get busy very soon, so let us procrastinate before that busy time!

Okay, so my fic is too drabble/ficlet based for people to get grasp of it, but..

Now, some writers embrace their id and write it all out there, and that can be a fabulous thing. Self-awareness FTW. But often when I'm reading a fic I find myself wanting to tap the author and say, "Pardon me, did you know your id is showing?"

So, a couple of us got to wondering what our fics revealed about us. Hence this anonymeme. Are our ids showing?

Tell meeeeeeeeee...

Two things:

1. In real life, I have been working on the final paper for my bachelor's degree ever since last year, and after several exhausting months it seems to be finally on its way out of my life. My thoughts about this can be summed up as YES.

2. The paper also turned me into a fannish zombie for, like, months, so what better way is there to get past that than jumping on the bandwagon and participating in three_weeks_for_dw! That means posting DW-only stuff during the next three weeks, which will include my long overdue fic commitments (such as my poor help_haiti fic and the flister requests). Also, responses to any prompts I get for the following meme:

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on alfalfa, favourite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other. Fannish topics welcomed. Affectionately taken from the_wanlorn.

Whether this will lead to me finally becoming an active person on LJ/DW/general blogosphere remains to be seen, but now I can say I've taken steps.

Still in the mood for a meme, so. Taken from mrasaki.

Give me a fandom I'm into, or have been into, and I'll answer these questions. As for fandoms, if you know I know it, go for it.

1. The first character I first fell in love with
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
6. The character I would shag anytime
7. The character I'd want to be like
8. The character I'd slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise
11. Favorite character
12. My five favorite characters
13. My five least favorite characters
14. Which character I am most like
15. My deep, dark fandom secret

In which I reveal the extent of my most major procrastination method. Taken from many places.

In mood for a list? Check out The 50 best protest signs of 2009. This one here is my favorite:



Canon in full sense of the word, folks.

I also have a meme.

Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile" (or if you're X-File-y, "Resist or Serve").

• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions

I got this from mrasaki, who gave me the following questions:

( 1. What was the first fandom you were ever in, and were you active in it? )

( 2. What is your favorite food? )

( 3. If you could live anywhere in the world and at any time period, where and when would it be? )

( 4. You've written quite a few FF7 fics. What do you think of all the FF7 sequels and their effect on FF7 fandom? (Advent Children, Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus) )

( 5. What is your favorite book, magazine, or comic? )

In non-faily vein, kimouski's poll about the Fandom Classifieds is still alive and in need of responses! She has also a fabulously evil Phoenix/Logan-drabble that people desperately need to see.

And now, the meme responses!
