if you could bring one Dead Character back in any fandom and give them their own story line, who would it be and what would their story line be?

Oooh. Good question. Janet. I’d give her a story line where she was replaced by a clone for a while and it turns out she’s alive and fighting for her life in the galaxy somewhere, and SG-1 comes across her and they have to figure out if she’s really the original Janet or an impostor

@geneeste​ tagged me on this fanfic meme a LONG time ago. I finally got that far back in my drafts. Unless otherwise noted, all stats are from AO3, which isn’t totally fair, but I’m lazy.

1. Your 3 fanfics with the most comments:

Just from AO3 comment threads: Close to Perfect (SG-1), It’s a Nice Day to Return a Wedding Dress (SG-1), and A Long Time Coming (OUAT). But back in the days of LJ, I think the fic with the most comments was Echoes (SG-1).

2. Your 3 fanfics with the most kudos:

Measure of a Scoundrel (Star Wars), A Long Time Coming (OUAT), The Great Costume Swap (OUAT)

3. Your oldest fanfic:

Okay, AO3 lies about this because I apparently did not set the dates correctly for the earliest fics. But this is positively the earliest fic I wrote and posted: Ordinary Encounters: Miss Parker (The Pretender). I actually wrote and posted that one when I was still in high school, possibly before the turn of the century.

4. Your latest fanfic:

A Long Time Coming (OUAT)

5. Your proudest fanfic:

I’m really proud of Echoes (SG-1) still. I’m also proud of Four Walls and a Blaster (Star Wars) because of how I tried to incorporate elements from the EU into my little weird AU.

6. Your longest fanfic:

The Glass Falcon (Star Wars), which is a noir-inspired detective story that comes in at a whopping 14,786 words.

7. Your 3 fanfics with the most bookmarks:

Measure of a Scoundrel (Star Wars), The Great Costume Swap (OUAT), and Friday Night (Iron Man)

8. Your favorite character to write in fanfic:

Whichever one I’m writing at the moment. I have loved Sam Carter, Cam Mitchell, Miss Parker, Han Solo, Jack O’Neil, Tony Stark, Emma Swan, and Regina Mills, among others.

9. 3 fanfics you love that aren’t already listed:

Temporary Deadness (SG-1) always makes me laugh, even though I wrote it. It even comes with a terrible fake PDF medical form I worked way too hard on.

Operation Eyrie (OUAT), because it’s an OT3 that gets no love (Outlaw Swan Queen) for reasons I understand but mourn anyway. This fic started as idle wondering if the secret passage of OT3 could possibly work for these three and consumed my brain. I still want to write the sequel, despite the current bad timing.

Passing & Morning (Star Wars), which is a series of connected drabbles in a strange AU where Luke and Leia both grow up on Tatooine. I know it makes no sense, but I was always very fond of this AU.

And one more, because I’m terribly greedy: Honeymoon Suite (SG-1), because although it wasn’t the first Sam/Vala fic I wrote, it’s the one that I did the most work on and because my beta on it was particularly vicious and good. @splash-the-cat​

Bonus Round: Your 3 favorite fanfics not posted yet.

I’m rather skittish about providing details on fic I’m working on, but we’ll see what we can do.

I have a Swan Queen fic that needs a little bit of work and needs to sit for a while on the back burner for other reasons anyway, but it’s a pretty straightforward ship fic.

I have another Swan Queen fic that involves sex magic that’s actually basically done but needs a second part that’s eluding me because leaving it where I did is cruel and pointless.

Oh! the best idea I have is a Welcome to Night Vale/OUAT crossover fic. It’s still in early stages yet and may not ever get finished, but if I can find the right hook, it’ll be funny and cute and definitely one of my favorites.

I guess I’ll tag anyone else who feels like it, but especially @knightedrogue because she should have to suffer and read through some of her stuff again.

This is why I almost never have a good character assignment in my friend groups. You know, when your friends are talking about a fandom and they try to decide who is like which character? Yeah, I'm nearly impossible, and this quiz seems to agree. :-) My thanks to pepper_field for the link!

( Results below the cut )

Okay, I finally finished all the meme requests, so I figured I should take a break from the Olympics and do a roundup. I had so much fun with this one--thank you all for playing along. Links below go to the thread for each request, so you can see which prompts I couldn't fill, just for fun. *g*

mrspollifax asked for Sam/Caldwell.

jafacakes asked for Sam/Rodney.

macgyvergal asked for Jack/Janet.

ultranos asked for GLaDOS and the Bird.

sixbeforelunch asked for Darcy/Elizabeth.

besyd asked for Hailey/Grogan.

zats_clear asked for Daniel Jackson/Dana Scully.

The meme post was over here, and I finally finished tonight! :-)

kedd wanted ( Helen/Nikola )

and ( Parker/Hardison )

annienau08 wanted ( Han/Leia )


kayim wanted ( Sam/Daniel )

[Comment to this post, and I will list seven things I want you to talk about. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.]

My words from surreallis: ( earthquakes, cupcakes, holidays, bookstores, tea, yellow, cold )

First and most importantly, a happy birthday to pepper_field! I hope it is a fabulous one.

Sanctuary: ( spoilers for Pax Romana, Hangover, and One Night )

SGU, on the other hand, is making me wish it weren't canceled. These last few eps have been engaging--still darker than SG-1, but with some levity, and I feel like I finally have a good grasp of most of the characters. I haven't even wanted to throw Young OR Rush out an airlock recently! It's a marked improvement. :-)

(SGU, btw, is why I haven't started my Rewatch of SG-1 season two. I had six episodes to catch up on.)


Meme! I haven't done one of these in a while! Snagged from grav_ity.

Comment with a fandom and I will answer the following:

One True Pairing Ship:
Favorite Canon Ship:
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
"I dabble a little" Ship:
"It's like a car crash" Ship:
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:

I totally forgot that once upon a time, annienau08 asked me about icons! Unfortunately, I don't think I can offer to pick icons for people today; I've got kind of a crazy week ahead and ought to be doing something else right now, but... well, ICONS. And pontification! :-)

( Weather, Invisibility is in the Mind, Green is Pretty, Smug Sam/Teal'c, Hip Bumps, and Sam&Thor 4EVER )

I'm feeling the need for a Friday distraction, so...

Give me a show, and I'll tell you 1) One of my favorite things about the show, 2) One of my least favorite things, 3) My favorite character, and 4) My least favorite character.

I suppose if I haven't seen the show, I can tell you why not, or I can answer the above with lies. *g*
