The Meme Thang

[rusty_armour]

This time you can blame grondfic for turning me to the Dark Side of the Meme! *g*

If you comment, I'll...

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something. A fandom, a song, a colour, a piece of fruit. SOMETHING.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Associate you with a character/pairing.
6. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. (Or else I'll just ask a random question. I reserve that right.)
7. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
8. In return, you must spread this disease in your LJ.

If you decide to ignore Rule #8, I'm willing to look the other way. However, I think it's only fair that you do the following:

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want -- good or bad. If you're so inclined, post this meme exercise on your own LJ and be surprised (or mortified!) about what people remember about you.

Cool meme! (said the meme junkie ;) ).

What I remember about you... is that you wrote Timepiece, and were surprised when I told you that I had a print-out of that fic which was starting to resemble the calender of an incredibly busy workaholic. I think there's still no fic which I've read as often as Timepiece ;).

Tell away, if you have time!

Memory: Our really *long* e-mails back and forth discussing Enterprise episodes. It got to a point where we lost track of what we were talking about and decided to start a new e-mail thread because the old one was too frickin' long!

Bonus Memory: The Christmas card you sent me last year! You drew a cute snowman saying, "Dude, you fugly!" LOL!

OK, I'll bite (although I'll probably ignore rule 8)!

My memory of you is you wearing your Fabulous Blue Cloak at Silver Arrow in Bristol - was it 2000? When we were all there and won the quiz?

[grondfic.livejournal.com]

hehe. Well I'd better do yours, since you did mine!

I remember you sending me maple tea for Christmas one year, and some fab cards over the years(including one with a bare-chested, chainmail-shirted, 50s-looking knight grasping a Fair Maiden. I gazed at it all through Christmas, wondering (a) how the guy MANAGED with no leather undershirt, and (b) the quickest method to get him out of what he WAS wearing.

I'm still incredibly touched that you have a hard copy of "Timepiece" and have read it so often. That means a lot. Thanks again :-)

Okay, on to the Meme:

1. I friended you because, well, you are a friend. I first met you because of Enterprise and we've been in contact ever since. :-)

2. I know I'm going to end up sounding like a broken record by the end of this, but I can't not associate you with Enterprise! *g*

3. One thing I like about you is your intense creativity. You run a fanfic archive, write fic, and even create fanvids. And you do all of these things so well!

4. I remember how excited and enthusiastic you were when you first launched the Enterprise Fanfiction Archives (http://efa.43i.net). The site didn't have a lot of stories at first, but it's definitely expanded and developed since its early days!

5. I know you've been writing a lot of House/Wilson lately, but I can't help associating you with Tucker/Reed.

6. I'm going for a random question. If you had the chance to work with any fictional doctor who would you choose?

7. Oooh. It's hard to narrow it down to just one choice. I really like your Phlox icon, of course. However, I think my current favourite is probably your SGA "Troublemaker" icon.

If you had the chance to work with any fictional doctor who would you choose?

Oh, that's a hard one. Hmm. I'm thinking about choosing Dr. Carter, or Dr. Gates, or Wiiilson ;) - but I shouldn't pick the doctor just for the cuteness, so none of those three. I think even if this was predictable, I'd have to go with House. If he were a real doctor, I'd love to work with him. I like the way his mind works, so I think I could get along with him; I could learn so much from him, and I wouldn't have to feel bad if he always figures out the answers before I do, because nobody's quicker than him.
If he were a real doctor ;).

And you do all of these things so well!
Thank you! *blush* That's a really nice thing to say. :)

I had a feeling you'd be game! Groovy-do! :-)

1. You're one of the main reasons I finally got an LJ. Both you and jackycomelately managed to talk me into it, and I've had a blast ever since. So how could I not friend you? :-)

2. As I first met you because of The X-Files, I have to associate you with that. Well, either that or Robert Patrick and Annabeth Gish.

3. Hmm...It's hard to pick just one thing I like about you. Off the top of my head, I'll go with sense of humour. You always have some amusing insight to offer in your messages or LJ posts, and some of your Supernatural recaps are hilarious!

4. One fond memory I have is meeting you and your sister face to face. You were both in Toronto and we met up for lunch at the Eaton Centre. :-)

5. Which pairing do I associate you with? Well, duh! Doggett/Reyes (http://www.geocities.com/visionjdmr/), of course! *g*

6. I'm going for another random question. If Doggett and Dean were arm-wrestling over you who do you think would win?

7. All of your userpics are so beautiful that it's hard to choose. Uh... *Looks up* I'll go with your "Love Is Here" icon!

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

LOL! I hate to break it to you, but I can't take credit for the Fabulous Blue Cloak. That was Kathye (http://nasty_knight.tripod.com/sirkathye.jpg). However, it's still I great memory! Silver Arrow 2000 ROCKED! :-)

1. I found out through grondfic that you were on LJ, so I had to friend you. Yes, if you need a scapegoat look no farther than grondfic! *g*

2. I seem to be picking fandoms for everything, but I can't help thinking of Robin of Sherwood (and Will "Which is your favourite ear?" Scarlet) when I think of you. It's how we met after all.

3. This might sound like a cop-out after the answer I gave to t_eyla, but I've always admired your wonderful design skills -- whether it came to creating kick ass sites or super icons!

4. We've known each other for such a long time that it's hard to pick one. I guess I'd have to say that one of my favourite memories was meeting you for the first time (face to face) at Silver Arrow 2000. :-)

5. I know you're really into the BritSlash and that you're a big fan of David Tennant and John Barrowman, so I'm going to go with Tenth Doctor/Captain Jack for my pairing of choice.

6. Today appears to be random question day. If you were offered a chance to travel with the Doctor would you take it?

7. Favourite userpic?! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! How can I possibly choose just one from your awesome collection?! Well, as we met because of RoS, I'll pick your Will Scarlet icon. :-)

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised you picked House. In fact, I would have been surprised if you hadn't picked House! *g* And I think Hugh Laurie could totally become a doctor if he wanted to! However, if he became a doctor, there would be a huge loss to the entertainment world. I hope he sticks to acting, comedy and music.

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

I'd completely forgotten about that card! It's so sweet of you to remember it. Of course, given the image on the front, I'm sure it's been permanently burnt into your memory! *g*

1. I discovered you had an LJ at one of the chats, so I immediately friended you. :-)

2. I said this about alysscarlet, but I associate you with Robin of Sherwood 'cause that's how we met.

3. I hope this won't sound insulting, but one thing I like about you is your dirty mind. The slash genre wouldn't be the same without you! *g*

4. I won't choose the same memory I shared at your own LJ because that would just be lazy. Instead, I'll pick the time (though there were actually two) that you sent me an Enterprise calendar for Christmas. That was such a fantastic surprise! :-)

5. Oh, boy. How do I pick just one pairing for you? You're, like, the Slash Queen! Uh...ummm...Well, because Hope for the Uruk (http://etave.members.gn.apc.org/newface/grondfic/hope.htm) was so very memorable (and you even won awards for it), I'll choose Shagrat/Human. I know who the "human" is, but I don't want to give away the plot.

6. This question is fairly random. Is there any slash pairing you wouldn't tackle?

7. This will probably come as a huge surprise, but I'm going to pick your "GrondFic" icon as my favourite userpic. *g*

[alysscarlet.livejournal.com]

Haha! Didn't you have a blue cloak as well? I thought there were several of you in them! Ah well. My aged memory. :-(

Pairing of choice - pretty much spot on! Doctor/Captain Jack definitely, and I don't mind if it's Nine or Ten. As Jack and Ten haven't met yet, it's interesting to imagine what they'll be like!

Random question - would I travel with the Doctor? VERY hard to answer! I'm really very much a home bod and I don't enjoy travelling, but how could you turn down a chance to be with the Doctor and in the TARDIS???

[grondfic.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Good question! Well I thought LOOOOONG and hard, and decided that anything involving Spongebob Squarepants MIGHT be a no-no (unless some sadist Challenged me to slash him with .. oooh .... Great Cthulhu .... Davy Jones ... Aqua-man ... Cap'n Ahab ..... ) *realises is actually getting a possible plotline for a Moby Dick/Spongebob crossover and runs away sobbing*

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

So...the real answer to my question is no. There really isn't any slash pairing you wouldn't tackle. *g*

Please let me know if you do write that Moby Dick/Spongebob crossover because that's something I've just got to see!
