Character Questions Meme
1. Go here to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 100. DO THIS FIRST.

2. Choose a character that I write or have written, be it canon or an OC.

3. Comment with the character and the numbers, and then I will answer the corresponding questions from here.

If you choose anyone underage, any questions inappropriate to ask a child will be answered as though they were adults. You can choose a few characters if you so choose.

1. List your top seven ships
2. Put all of them in order of your love for them; 7 to 1, 1 being your favorite.
3. Name their fandom.
4. Supply photos for said people.

( These are really in no particular order: I ship them all about equally. AKA, like burning )
And, of course, the traditional ( Super Secret Really Really Really Embarrassing Slash Ship below the cut. )

1) I have new headphones! The old ones fell apart in my ear. It was most distressing. Fortunately, they were still under warranty and the nice guy at the Apple store took my word for it, so I have new ones for free! *cuddles new headphones* I also had a fun conversation with him.

Me: Hi. My headphones fell apart. It is most distressing.
Guy: Whoa. They really did. Well, let me take a look and see why they fell apart.
Me: I did nothing unusual to them. I was only listening to music and they fell apart.
Guy: Would you raise your right hand and repeat that?
Me: Sure, but I haven't got a Bible, just Oscar Wilde.
Guy: Close enough!

2) Speaking of Oscar Wilde, I am reading some of his plays. I just got through Salome (very strange, not at all like Wilde's usual tongue-in-cheek humor. Has some lovely language, though, and it must be pretty visually stunning) and The Importance of Being Earnest (one of my favorite plays ever and always worth a reread), and am currently in the middle of Lady Windermere's Fan. I'm also reading Mary Called Magdelane, another of Margaret George's bricks; Predators, Prey and Other Kinfolk, a memoir of growing up in a polygamist family; and The Serpent's Shadow. If I continue reading books at this rate, my books-read list for July will move into three pages. New record.

3) Got more work done on Glass. I think this seperating it out into different POV files and writing it that way is extremely helpful. I may have to give up my flashbacks from Gabi's POV idea, but we'll see how the rest of them turn out. I may rewrite them from Lionel's POV to leave them in. I've decided that, because Gabi is at the center of everything, I should maybe leave her a bit of a mystery. After all, her nonresponsiveness or her simple absence is a huge part of all the plots. So, I shall discuss with my co-author and we shall see.

4) Deposited my paycheck. YAY MONEY.

5) I kind of want to cosplay as Sarah Jane Smith. I may even just put a costume together and be her for Halloween. 'Cause, well, she's awesome, and I think her waistcoat-and-shirt look would be really flattering to my figure. Plus, I want those boots. Well, who doesn't?

6) I have been falling behind on my RPing lately and I do not know why. It's like I sit down to do it and my brain goes "HA no. Fuck off down the model village." Then I am confused as to why my brain is quoting Hot Fuzz out of context when all I want to do is knock off a decent post so my RPing partners don't hate me. V. sad. Please be understanding.

7) I am dying for lack of fluff. I've been writing Kyrie and Glass and Glass's prequel lately, all the angsty bits with people dancing around things they don't want to say, and I just want to read something silly and sweet and fluffy, goddamnit. It probably doesn't help that all the active relationships in my RPs are a) in the awkward morning-after stage, b) in the awkward holy-shit-did-I-really-just-say-that stage, c) both a and b, d) in the awkward goddamnit-do-I-have-to-tattoo-it-on-my-forehead stage, or e) in the awkward I-really-like-you-but-this-can't-work-for-outside-reasons-so-I'll-just-keep-my-mouth-shut stage. I want to read or write something where people are in love, full stop. Can someone prompt me, please? Any fandom I'm familiar with except Avatar, or original.

8) Speaking of prompts! Is anyone interested in an X-files/Doctor Who oneshot? I've had one percolating, and I have a beta on the line, but I don't know if anyone would be interested in reading something with Six and Samantha. Other possibilities include finally finishing my gorram Christmas fics (July is a new record), finishing up my Mulder/Scully fanmix (I think I need to see the movie again first), trying my hand at that one NaNo novel again, finishing and then rewriting Confidence (or maybe I could just skip to the rewrite?), or just watching Doctor Who until my brain liquifies. That last option is looking better all the time.

1) I met Heather Chesterton at a concert recently, or at least someone who looks exactly like her, down to the frizzy blonde hair. Heather's voice is quite a bit higher than hers, and Heather is from Surrey rather than Canada somewhere, but other than that... I mean sheesh, she even played the piano!

2) Apparently Heather is dating an Irishman named Matthew. Beats me.

3) May have found an icon that works for Jen at long goddamn last.

4) Really want to take Lionel and Gabi's story from FG, file the serial numbers off, and turn it into an original novel. Too bad only Gabi and Saul are actually my characters. *sulk*

5) Frickin' writer's block.

6) In conclusion, I hate fandom.

Is it bad when my very first thought upon seeing this is "Dammit, Harry, not again!"
Or does that just mean I'm hallucinating?

OMG OMG OMG SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER.
IT IS JOHN BARROWMAN AND HE IS BLONDE AND FABULOUS.
YES, THIS REQUIRES ALL CAPS.
BLONDE. AND FABULOUS.

This is very, very bad.
The following collection of names appeared in a fanfic I was reading; Paul, Christopher, Thomas, David, Jonathan, William, Patrick, Peter, Colin, and Sylvester. And I knew what the correlation was.* Right off the bat.
This is bad on so many levels.

*For the curious, those are the first names of the actors for, in order, Doctors Eight, Nine, Four, Ten, Three, One, Two, Five, Six, and Seven.

Oi, Pris, I had a weird dream. It was a kind of fixit sequel to Cold Comfort, where it turned out Murph got resurrected by something or other (I think the dream blamed faeries) and then Lasciel mysteriously disappeared, Murph started channeling the Eighth Doctor's Jesus imagery and then fell asleep on Harry's doorstep where he tripped over her the next morning. Yeah, you explain it. It's your fault anyway.
