Fandom randomness.

[lonetread]

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!

I think it is my favorite meme^^ *sends plenty of questions*

+ 12 and 7 are siblings. Who was secretly sent away for adoption, and who remained with their parents?
+ 4 has a recuring nightmare. What is it?
+ 1 and 3 go shoe shopping. Good or bad idea?
+ There's only one piece of chocolate left in the box. Who will get it? 2, 6, or 15?
+ 11 and 5 are watching television. Who holds the remote?
+ 10 plays a prank on 13. Why does 8 feel the need to be involved? And whose side is he/she on?
+ 9 and 14 - friends, enemies or lovers?

ROFL. Canonically, 7 was adopted and 4 has recurring nightmares. Also, that shoe-shopping image is not going to leave for a long while. :)

I like this meme too; everyone else likes writing questions and I like answering them. It's perfect.

Heee, I'm just that good^^

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?

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. :)

Damn damn damn, I don't *know* those fandoms - except for The Lost Room, but I never saw the end of the show.

Should I offer more questions?

[lonetread]

Aw. Well, I'll put Wikipedia links in the post where I answer the questions, so you won't be completely lost. (And you really should see the end of LR; they did a good job with it.)

Absolutely you're welcome to give me more questions, if you want. I'm holding off on posting the answers to give zerawolfe7 a chance to contribute, but I'm caught up on answering them. All except that "playing a prank" question. That one's tough. But yeah, I figure the more cracky bunnies I can acquire, the more things I have to write about next month for unofficial!summer!NaNo.

So, questions. I'm afraid they severely lack in vegetables and giant monsters :\\

+ How old was 12 when he last wrote to Santa? What did he ask for?
+ What's the most complicated dish 5 can cook?
+ 8 is lost. Is it a good idea to call 11 for help, or will it only make things worse?
+ Who was most likely to get away with the "The dog ate my homework" line when they were 8? 12, 4, or 15?
+ What is 1 doing while 3 keeps 7 busy elsewhere?
+ 2 discovers 13's most embarassing secret. Does he use it for blackmail purpose or not?
+ How long is 6 able to keep quiet while 10 reads a complicated file?
+ Could 13 be persuaded to dress up as 4 for Halloween?
+ Who has the highest phone bills? 9 or 14?
+ 6 and 9 go to see a movie. What is it? Do they share pop-corn?
+ If given the opportunity, would 3 sign-up for a one-way journey to Mars?
+ What would I learn about 12 if I were to visit his hometown?
+ In a three-legged race, should I put my money on 1 and 10 or 5 and 15?
+ What's 6 favorite place in the world? Would he take 13 there if asked nicely?
+ Whose phone ring when 8 calls a friend from the "Who wants to be a billionaire?" set?

Yay, more questions! And that's okay, I've already had enough vegetables and giant monsters.

I love that three-legged race question. Not sure how to answer it, but the mental image is incredible. :D
