Memes, baby.

[drakyndra]

So, in honour of ANZAC day and all... I am posting memes.

Not exactly the deepest way to remember things, really. I am rather shallow here, aren't I?

Still... memes for your enjoyment.

Firstly, gacked from misscam:

The interview meme:
01- Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
02- I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature. Or not so creepy/personal.
03- You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
04- You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
05- When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions


1. Aside from the Doctor, what's the one role you'd die to see Tennant in?
God, that's a tricky one. There are just so many things I could see him doing, really, and it's not as if I am a big drama expert, so I can't come up with those interesting and slightly unusual ones like Blackpool that he did so well.

That said, a while back I read on someone's LJ suggesting he'd be great as Crowley in a Good Omens film/TV movie. That'd be awesome - can't you just see him in the sunglasses and black and snarkiness?

2. Dream episode of Doctor Who?
Are you trying to kill me with hard questions? The thing is, a lot of the things that I would really love to see being done seem to be on the books for this season - meeting up with an old companion (School Reunion, duh), the rumours about an episode showing an outside POV of the Doctor's adventures, and how they effect the ordinary people...

But at the moment, I'm just looking forward to the rest of the season, as well as hoping for something character heavy for Tennant to show off just how good he is. Though with the whole hubris consequences thing, this looks like it just might happen too...

3. If you could change one thing about Australia, what would it be?
Get rid off Howard, and do something about the bloody bigotry in certain elements of the government. Try and get away from the minion-ness we have for the US right now. Possibly have another go at that vote to become a republic. (Dude, the royals are werewolves, do we really want them any more?) My whole vaguely republican stance makes my "Republicans for Voldemort t-shirt oh that muc more hilarious

4. Why do Americans drink Foster's?
Fucked if I know.

5. If Ten had a little name for his tongue, what would it be?
Ten... tongue... *swoons*

Sorry, there was a question there?

*grins* Simmons, then.


And another meme, gacked from misscam and lotus79:

The first 10 people to comment on this post get to request a drabble from you. In return, they have to post this in their journal and write a drabble for you. Post all fandoms you're willing to write for. (this is optional; you don't HAVE to do it in return, but it would be pretty spiffy if you did)
Your friends can pick a relationship, a story arc, a missing scene, or pretty much anything they want. They comment with what they want, and you write drabbles and post it in your LiveJournal.

Fandoms I can do: (New) Doctor Who, obviously. Erm, Harry Potter. Possibly Firefly if the prompts are tempting enough.

Also, I am not limiting to drabbles. If I like the prompt, you might get longer pieces.

And I may take quite some time with some of these.

Comments

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

OK, first off, you may as well interview me. ;)

You did the same as Cam and forgot to limit the Doctor Who ones to the new ones. I'll pretend you did though, unless you wanna do me something classic?

Hmmm... Any Doctor 1-10. A brown cat. ( Here is a picture to inspire you. ;) ) Aaaaand... rain. Since it's been raining all day.

*licks your icon*

[fa11ing-away.livejournal.com]

interview me too ^^,
what is a drabble?

[xwingace]

Crowley in a Good Omens film/TV movie. That'd be awesome - can't you just see him in the sunglasses and black and snarkiness?

Actually, no, I can't. Crowley, in my mind, tends to be American. Or Neil Gaiman. And much more laid back and casual than I can ever imagine DT, with his intense acting style, to be. (Besides, the sunglasses would hide his eyes...) And he's not quite right for Aziraphale either.

If he has to play a GO character, then I'd probably pick Newt.

I've seen suggestions for DT as Teatime (from the Discworld novel Hogfather). That could work. Or the Oh God of Hangovers from the same novel.

Hmmm. Another possibility from the Discworld might be (Mustrum) Ridcully. DT's too young and too slender, but I think he might fit the *character* pretty well.

XWA

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Totally doesn't go and edit post.

Okay then, questions:

1. What would you like the Doctor to lick in the next episode of Doctor Who?

2. If Australia suddenly took over the entire world, what do you think would happen next?

3. What sort of fanfic do you prefer reading, smut, fluff, darkfic, character studies or something else?

4. What is your favourite colour?

5. Nine and Ten get shut in a room together. What would they discuss?

*icon licks back*

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I used to actually see Crowley as being Johnny Depp. But somehow the DT version works for me as well.

And curse you, but now I am going through every single Discworld character in my head, and imagining how Tennant would play them. It is most bizarre.

[sparklechick268.livejournal.com]

I think he'd be awesome as Croweley. Granted, I'm still halfway through the book and can't make a full opinion, but still...

Ah, the meme.
Sarah and the 10th Doctor are found in a cupboard. How they got there is up to you. Be it smutty or simply escaping from monsters. Maybe they were playing sardines or hiding from Rose's cooking. *giggles*
Humour is good.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Drabble: Short fanfic, strictly speaking only 100 words long, though some people are less fussy about word limits.

But, questions:

1. Now that you have met Dylan Moran, which other celebrity would you most like to meet?

2. What is your very, very favourite movie scene?

3. If you could travel to anywhere in the world, where would it be?

4. Which is your favourite version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (book, radio play, movie, TV version...)?

5. If you could meet a fictional character, who would you like it to be?

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Do you mind if I wait until after I see School Reunion to do this drabble? Because I really haven't seen very much of Sarah, and I'd like an idea of her character first.

[sparklechick268.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'm not worried by time. Take as long as you want.
I'm well obsessed with Sarah and the Doctor interacting at the moment. All the excitement and anticipation of hearing David Tennant repeatedly say my name and all that ;)

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

See my answer to Goldie above on the drabble question.

1. Which of the characters played by David Tennant would you most like to meet?

2. What is your all time favourite quote?

3. What is your favourite moment from V for Vendetta? (knowing how much you are loving that right now...)

4. Cheese: Good or evil? Discuss.

5. What is your very favourite item of clothing?

[xwingace]

*VEG*

What would you think about him playing Moist von Lipwig?

(What about CE for Vimes?)

XWA

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

According to the cast list up on the OG, there is a character called Melissa in the "School Reunion."

OHGOD, I HOPE HE SAYS MY NAME!

*looks shifty* No, I am not obsessed at all. Really.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Moist actually might work - he has the right sort of energy about him.

And I am torn on the CE as Vimes thing - he has the right sort of personality and all, but he doesn't really look like my mental image. I mean, he'd do a damn goood job of it, and I am sure he'd get the personality right, but I just can't see it, physically.

[sparklechick268.livejournal.com]

LOL! I know exactly what you mean. I was actually named after Sarah Jane (except my middle name is spelt Jayne) as my mum was a big fan of the old series, so the obsession really is a part of me *g*

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Interesting notes: The girl playing Melissa was the young Elizabeth in Pirates of the Caribbean.

And I wasn't aned after anyone - there is no interesting story to my name at all. And my parents didn't even know what Doctor Who was.

I need more interesting parents.

[neo-leviathan.livejournal.com]

*waves* interview me :)

[sparklechick268.livejournal.com]

2. If you could dye your hair any colour, what would it be?

3. If you could be a character from any fandom, which fandom and what character?

4. What is your favourite flavour ice-cream?

5. If you could travel to any other time period, which one would it be?

[lena-supercat.livejournal.com]

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Okay then...

[van.livejournal.com]

I'd like to be interviewed! :D

and, if there are still open drabble requests:

Maybe Jack/Ten (slash if you want, or just interaction), mostly Jack reacting to the new!Doctor. And uh, keyword being . . . gifts.

Alternately, I wouldn't mind seeing some Jack/Mal or something, hahaha. Same keyword.

2. Where is the favourite place you have ever been?

3. If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?

4. If Firefly had continued on for another series (or there was anoter movie), what would you have liked to see in it?

5. What is your favourite moment in Doctor Who so far?

[van.livejournal.com]

I'm going to reply here, and, if later I remember, I'll repost the answers on my LJ. :D

1.) Gosh, this is hard. There are lots of fictional characters I'd like to see meet up. Right now, I'm gonna have to say Sam Tyler, from Life On Mars meeting up with any version of the Doctor from Doctor Who. Despite the fact that Doctor Who is a TV show for Sam, I want to see the meet up happen. I think there could be great potential for uh, LOTS OF STUFF. Hell, with the right circumstances, Sam could be an awesome Companion and, damn but wouldn't 10/Sam be lovely?

2.) Hmmm. I've traveled to a lot of places, and seen a lot of things. There are beautiful places in both Hawai'i and Japan I could cite. But I think, really, home is my favorite place. I just feel comfortable and at peace here. I suck.

3.) Gah. Well, I'd invest probably 750,000 or more. I'd help my folks out with bills, certainly cover all my personal expenses. I'd probably allow myself $5,000 to play with, take a vacation to England with my girlfriend, maybe. Buy a few trinkets . . . I love collecting stuff. So, you know I'd buy Doctor Who on DVD or whatever. I'd like to save most of it though. Thatd' be handy.

4.) Gah. I'd really like more backstory on Wash, either in flashbacks or prequels or whatever. I think we know the least about him of any character. I'd love to see more development of Jayne, as well. There is just so much I want out of the show that we didn't get. I'd like to know more about Inara, as well. Hahaha. I think it'd be interesting to see a "fixed" River, too. Maybe I'd like her more, or at least I hope at least getting some more canon fixed-River would stop all the Mary Sue River fics that sprang up after the film.

5.) Gah. I adore Nine in "The Doctor Dances" when he does his, "Oh, give me a day like this! Just this once, Rose, everybody lives!" I also love when, in "Bad Wolf" (or maybe it's "The Parting of the Ways"?) he yells at the Daleks, who have captured Rose, and he gets all speechifying and angry and spittle starts flying. THAT'S AWESOME YAY. Ten has yet to reach that intensity. He tried (and failed, IMO) in New Earth. His anger is good, but it doesn't feel as genuine as Nine's. He just feels a little forced, like he ought to be angry, but is going too far. I really loved the Nine/Rose kiss, too. It was unexpected for me, and I was like, "Damn, they actually went there." So I squeed. :D

Though, there was a line Four says to Davros in "The Destiny of the Daleks" that is (paraphrased) something like, "I see ten thousand years in stasis has done nothing to curb your meglomania" or something. It made me laugh and laugh. Four is very funny in season 17, and I like funny. ♥

[melliyna.livejournal.com]

*waves* Interview me please :) (I would ask for a drabble if it was still open but unfortunately all my brain can come up with is West Wing/Doctor crossover crack so I'll leave that one).

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Questions:

1. You are put in charge of Australia for one day. What do you do?

2. What is your favourite memory?

3. Since you mentioned crossovers, what two fictional character (from different fandoms) would you most like to see meet up?

4. What is your favourite song?

5. You get to snog one fictional character. Who would it be?

[shanaqui]

I've done this so many times I've run out of ideas for questions, so I'll just answer here. xD

1. I think that'd have to be Seifer/Squall from Final Fantasy VIII. I've been pairing them up for five years, it's hard not to love them the most. xD Of course, the addition of Zell or Rinoa to the mix is welcome.

2. Hmmmm, silver, I think. Silver or blue. But I tend to wear black. xD

3. Belgium. To see my girlfriend. xD If she could magically go with me, I'd like to visit Egypt. :)

4. Ummm... for purely selfish reasons, the Doctor. xD Ten, of course. Hopefully with Jack in tow. Other than that, I'd like to meet Verity Farseer, since the main character raves about him so in Robin Hobb's books. He's a great character.

5. Um. I order everyone to stop fighting and start sharing, and I make everyone work on the right kinds of research, then I hand the position over to a suitable set of stewards who would rule the world from then on. I'm not ambitious. xD;

[furrybanana.livejournal.com]

Interview meh!! Er, yes.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

1. Why is your username "furrybanana"? 'Cos that's just... different.

2. If you could travel absolutely anywhere, where would you go?

3. Who would you rather be held hostage by, Osama Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein?

4. You get to spend the day with one fictional character. Who would it be, and what would you do?

5. What is your favourite alcoholic drink?

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

I totally forgot to answer these questions.

1. Louis XV!

2. The weekend would be expanded to include Monday, and the Australia Day holiday would last a fortnight.

3. I like most types, but fluff and action bore me more than most. (that said, an action fic that's very character driven and has a bit of smut if the best kind). Favourites would be darkfic and smut-with-plot, though I have a strange sad taste for melodrama--such as the babyfic.

4. To look at, red. To wear, green. Cos red looks crap on me, and green makes my hair look pretty and glowy (when the dye-job is fresh)

5. "Discuss"? I think they would dance. They do in my dreams, after all. ;) Or the clean answer would be that they'll argue over who has the most batshit fans. Nine will win that, I think, perhaps til Ten has a season under his belt.

There. Now where's me drabble? :P
