Interstices & Liminal Spaces

I am a happy meme-lemming, following killabeez over this cliff.

I'm soliciting questions for this year's December posting meme - surely you have an interesting (or boring - I don't judge) or unusual question for me? Can be about a fannish opinion or headcanon, about me, a top 5, or my thoughts on anything that strikes your fancy. Please pick a day and give me a topic!

Send me a character and I’ll list:

• Favorite thing about them


• Least favorite thing about them


• Favorite line


• brOTP


• OTP


• nOTP


• Random headcanon


• Unpopular opinion


• Song I associate with them


• Favorite picture of them

If I don't have/can't find these, I'll just say so.  (Particularly on those last two, it's possible.)

ETA: Getting to these slowly as I finish holiday shopping first...

I'm even writing Aidan-verse. It's not going to be done by Lammas, but I'm trying.  Meanwhile, so that I'm here, rather than Tumblr, have a meme I gacked from there:

• How I feel about this character
• All the people I ship romantically with this character
• My non-romantic OTP for this character
• My unpopular opinion about this character
• One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Go with fandoms I know, at the least, and if I don't know the character, I"ll ask for another one, but what the hell, let's do this!

Give me a fandom (or more than one to give me options) and I'll tell you:

1. the character I least understand
2. interactions I enjoyed the most
3. the character who scares me the most
4. the character who is mostly like me
5. hottest looks character
6. one thing I dislike about my fave character
7. one thing I like about my hated character
8. a quote or scene that haunts me
9. a character I wish died but didn’t
10. my ship that never sailed

(If I can figure out what the blazes 10 means.)

For the curious:

The ones that were identified and the first to ID them:

1. That's not a noun, that's a fortune. – Victor/Victoria, by senmut 
2. "Dear Sir, you are without any doubt, a rogue, a rascal, a villain, a thief, a scoundrel, and a mean, dirty, stinking, sniveling, sneaking, pimping, pocket-picking, thrice double-damned no-good son of a bitch." and you sign your name - what do you think? – 1776, by ilyena_sylph 
3. Mother pus-bucket! – Ghostbusters, by ilyena_sylph 
4. My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives. – Blazing Saddles, by archant 
6. I want peace on earth and good will towards men. -- Sneakers, by misbegotten 
7. Husbands should be like Kleenex: soft, strong and disposable. – Clue, by archant 
8. Yeah, and a wise man has enough sense to get in out of the rain! – Big Trouble In Little China, by em_kellesvig 
9. Are we to be two immortals locked in an epic battle until Judgment Day and trumpets sound? – Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl, by em_kellesvig 
10. What does 'Incompetent' mean? -- Highlander, by highlander_ii 
11. Now a Manhattan you shake to fox-trot time, a Bronx to two-step time, a dry martini you always shake to waltz time. – The Thin Man,  by misbegotten 
13. And now, you're a coat rack. – Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, by ilyena_sylph
14. Who knows, in a thousand years, even you may be worth something. – Raiders of the Lost Ark, by misbegotten 

And the ones no one could get.  Sorry about 12, yes, it sounds like it could be from several places, but you'd have all known "Why bother? I may die of old age."

5. Look we had a deal: You commit a felony, I go. -- Undercover Blues, Jeff Blue to Muerte
12. Since when has it been possible to insult you, Madame? -- The Four Musketeers: Milady's Revenge, Athos to Milady de Winter
15. Now I know what FBI stands for: Fucking Ball-busting Imbeciles. -- Hopscotch, CIA Director Myerson, played by poor Ned Beatty who hates cursing.

Thanks for playing!

For senmut 's prompt: Immortal and Mortal of your choice. How the mortal birthdays affect both halves of the pair.

Thank you. I hope I did it justice. At the AO3 here.
( This way to the fic. )

Yup, WIP again. Have a fic I will, eventually, finish for spook_me . Haven/Highlander, an AU of the Aidan-verse since i don't really expect them to end up in Haven and in fact I'm terrified of letting Haven into that universe. (Krycek in Haven. That'll make the hair on the back of my neck stand up.)

Anyway, yes: WIP. Enjoy! Over at the AO3 here.

( In the middle of the candlelit room, an old oak table supported a mass of mirrors suspended in a silver fretwork. )

I finally get to use my Miss Marple icon!! WIP, Case fic, will be finished damn it! Originally started years ago for Girl Saves Boy (Or The World) because Jane Marple is just that awesome. Enjoy part one; part two will go up in two weeks!

ETA: Sorry about the accidentally uncut post, guys!  Now shortened to save friends' page views!

At the AO3 here.

( It was just like the movies. )

ETA:  Oh, and yes, I took the 8th off from posting.  I was just tired, sorry!

How do I not have a Rachel icon?!? Anyway, you guys know the routine by now: WIP, probably will get finished (so I can find out who the hell is in NYC), please feel free to speculate/comment/etc. Partly for a prompt by mayireadtoday , partly for a conversation ymfaery and I had over Small Packages.  (Yeah, okay, I'm starting to think that and this may yet be part of the Opportunities-verse.  Damn it.)  Oh!  And available at the AO3 here.



( Rachel Ellenstein mostly worked for Nash Antiques. Occasionally, however, she had side jobs. )

Yet another WIP, chapter 1 is up now at the AO3; I ran out of time to finish fixing things in chapter 2, so it'll go up tomorrow at the AO3 and the whole thing to date will go here.  After that I know some of the impending madness, but not all.

Sorry to be so late!

Since I don't have a fic request or question for today, I'm posting an unfinished story again instead. I don't quite know how this ends, which is why it's unfinished, but there's a decent chance for this getting done. I like the characters, I like the story, I'm just temporarily baffled. (For, you know, four years of baffled...l That said, feel free to comment, ask questions, speculate, etc. It's the most likely thing to prod this along!

TL;DR? Have a WIP/Amnesty fic. Enjoy! (At the AO3 here.)

Nota bene: WIP: aka, 10 pages, it's not done, and it was supposed to be a PWP? (See that gen rating?) Also, set between Captain America and The Avengers, and now an AU. You know: I'd started writing this before I found out when Coulson and Cap first met, but I was having too much fun to change it back.

( Steve Rogers went from Project: Rebirth to the stage show to the fronts to SHIELD. He's way, way overdue for leave; he's just not entirely prepared for 2012. That shouldn't be too much of a problem when touring Washington, D.C. and its museums -- should it? )

Gacked from resonant & senmut , then combined:  Here's how it works. Choose a date in December. Ask me a question, or request a character/characters and give me a prompt of a trope, meme, words, image, lines of poetry, etc. I'll make a post about your question, or give you at least 3 sentences of a fic I'm (probably) not writing on the date you choose.

I'll cut tag this and start adding days/requests as I get them.
