Fandom randomness.

Been watching more XF. I watched "Orison" yesterday; it was good. And rewatched "Fight Club" because I forgot I'd seen it. Still bizarre. And then "Zero Sum" that I watched today? I don't think any episode of television, let alone of XF, has ever had a worse ending, ever. Seriously. I felt like either a) they ran out of time and just said, "screw it, fade to black", or b) they forgot the part that said "To be continued...". *eyeroll*
Also, I wrote more of that Castle/LR crossover, got to the part where my OC, Dante, encounters a cop and Things Happen, and had a question. So I got online to ask the good folks at
ask_a_cop, and while I was there, did some research. Lo and behold, I'd forgotten again that Castle's set in NYC. I don't know why I have such a hard time remembering that, honestly. It just seems like all my shows are either set in California, D.C., or Miami, so I get confused, I guess. At any rate, this could pose a problem. And I don't have a comm yet to ask questions about NYC, although I contacted the mod over at
newyorkers to see if they'd be open to that. (If so, I'll be sure to add them to the list, along with
law_questions and
lawquestions_au.) While I wait for a response, anyone else up to answering a lot of random questions about NYC? I sense a lot of rewriting in my future if I got the right impression from Google Street View, so I may as well get it right.
Finally, have a meme (stolen from
sashataakheru):
Character List Meme:
1) Make a list of 15 characters and assign each character a number.
2) Without telling anyone who's on the list or the character's assigned number, get questions from your flist about what they'd like to know about them, i.e. "If 3 and 4 were trapped in a cave together with only a blanket and a toothpick, what would they do?"
3) Post list and answers.
Anyone want to give me questions? You know you want to! ;)
ETA: And I still have no idea what I'm writing for JuNo next month (that would be the pseudo-NaNo Zera and I are doing). Your cracky plots, suggest them to me!

Date: 2009-06-15 02:26 am (UTC)Feel free to go on if you're having fun, I don't get many comments usually, and you've got great questions!
*googles "grue"* You mean the monster? Lol, if anyone could.
no subject
Date: 2009-06-15 02:35 am (UTC)Alrighty then. I just write what comes into my head. That's where the grue thing came from. XD And yes, the monster. :P
So, hmm.
What kind of cheerleader would 11 make?
Who would be more likely to cook a romantic dinner, 2, 4 or 12?
Would 5 rather spend an afternoon fishing or ten pin bowling?

Who would make the best newsreader: 8, 13 or 1?
What would be 6's weapon of choice?
If 3 was a prostitute, who would pick them up, 4 or 10?
Who would most likely survive if they were all living in the same city and Godzilla stomped it all to pieces?
Re the above question: of those who were left, who'd most likely kill the others in order to survive?
Who would have a more successful music career, 2 or 9?
Why would 14 make a better head of broccoli than 11?
If 7 really was a fly on a wall, what would they most like to be able to spy on?
There, have a few more. :P

Date: 2009-06-15 02:43 am (UTC)Also, not to spoil it for anyone else who might want to comment, but you have to know after that kids'-show one: 7 is Dexter Morgan. Hee.

Date: 2009-06-15 02:45 am (UTC)Haha, awesome. XD I gathered from your earlier comment 7 was not exactly friendly, so I kinda ran with it. :P

Date: 2009-06-15 12:38 pm (UTC)I like this meme too; everyone else likes writing questions and I like answering them. It's perfect.
no subject
Date: 2009-06-15 03:34 pm (UTC)I blame the shoe-shopping question on The West Wing - I'm sure you'll be glad to be spared the explanation. I'm impatient to read your answers, you've received some very good questions *points up* that deserve to be answered. Broccoli head indeed^^
I love answering the meme too. Of course, it often sets free a few crack!crossover plot-bunnies, but if you ignore them, they go away, right?
no subject
Date: 2009-06-15 04:16 pm (UTC)That it does. I've already got, now, bunnies begging for an X-Files/Burn Notice/Dead Zone newscaster!AU and a Lost Room/Burn Notice undercover!crossover -- and well, I'm almost inclined to not want all that hilarity to go away. :)

Date: 2009-06-15 04:22 pm (UTC)Should I offer more questions?

Date: 2009-06-15 04:39 pm (UTC)Absolutely you're welcome to give me more questions, if you want. I'm holding off on posting the answers to give
