juno_magic, and it probably works better for big fans of fanfic:
The Rules
First, write down the names of 12 characters. Then read and answer the questions.
You can't look at the questions (or click on the cut) until you write down the 12 characters you're going to use.
Juno was kind and used characters from the same place, but I can't bring myself to do that! This probably makes more sense if you're really into fanfic, though. I haven't been for some years, but I'll give it a shot:
1. Mina Harker (Dracula, Bram Stoker)
2. Friday (Friday, Robert Heinlein)
3. Mr. Dark (Something Wicked This Way Comes, Ray Bradbury)
4. Helva (The Ship Who Sang, Anne McCaffrey)
5. Straha (Worldwar series, Harry Turtledove)
6. Brandy (Liberty Meadows comics, Frank Cho)
7. Nikita (La Femme Nikita, Luc Besson)
8. Piotr Rasputin/Colossus (X-men comics, originally Claremont & Byrne)
9. Mr. Wednesday (American Gods, Neil Gaiman)
10. Koot Hoomie Parganas (Expiration Date, Tim Powers)
11. Queen Vashti/Esther (Esther, The Bible/Kethuvim)
12. One (City of Lost Children, Jean-Pierre Jeunet)
Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to?
Brandy/Queen Esther. Brandy is a cartoon animal psychologist and de facto pin-up girl. Esther was a beauty queen and queen of Persia. I've never read such a fanfic, but it could be interesting - they're both hot. I could actually imagine Frank Cho writing something like this into Liberty Meadows...
Do you think Four is hot? How hot?
Helva is very hot, in every way but physical. She is one of the most beautiful characters I have ever read, even though she was born deformed. She was put in a metal can immediately after birth, with electrodes interfacing to all of her nerves. The ship she interfaced with became an extension of her body. I fell in love reading that book.
What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?
Eeew! One is the loveable, retarded, French strongman from City of Lost Children, and Colossus is the loveable, organic steel, Russian strongman from the X-men. I'm sure pregnancy isn't an option, but someone would probably pay good money for those images...
Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine?
I haven't read any American Gods fics, but they must be out there. The world Gaiman created is just too cool to leave on the shelf.
Would Two and Six make a good couple?
Friday and Brandy? Hmmm... Let me just ponder that for a while... *sigh* As fun as the thought is to entertain, I don't think Brandy would fall for Friday. I'm pretty sure Friday would be game, though. Friday is a very sexy, futuristic female secret agent-type from the Heinlein book of the same name.
Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?
Former fleetlord Straha is a reptile, with eye-turrets like a true chameleon. Mr. Wednesday is basically the American avatar of Odin, and Koot Parganas is a pre-teen East Indian boy possessed by the ghost of Thomas Edison. Since we're talking about very serious inter-species relationships with deities, aliens, and human children, I'm not even going to entertain the thought!
What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?
Nikita walks in on Friday and One having sex? Nikita is an ex-druggie assassin, and would probably shoot someone. Friday certainly wouldn't get hit, and Nikita wouldn't miss, so One probably gets shot. He wouldn't die, but rather moan and whimper pathetically, breaking Nikita's heart.
Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic.
Mr. Dark and Koot Hoomie Parganas? Mr. Dark ran the evil carnival in Something Wicked This Way Comes. That shouldn't be too hard:
"Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show comes to Los Angeles, and this time they're not hunting the living! Aided by the ghosts of James Dean and Ronald Reagan, Koot Hoomie must rescue the recently departed of Los Angeles from being consumed by Mr. Dark's calliope."
Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff?
Mina Harker was the fiancee of Jonathan Harker, the protagonist of Dracula. Dracula was quite fond of her. She also appears as sometime leader (and vampire) of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The comic is FAR superior to the movie, BTW. Mina/Colossus fluff would be a LoEG/X-Men crossover, which could never happen except in fanfic. And fluff is happy, whereas both Mina and Piotr/Colossus are dark, brooding characters. Nope, no such thing.
Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic.
Nikita and One in a hurt/comfort fic? Isn't that what I started to describe above? How about "The Death of Innocence"?
What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four to deflower One?
Helva deflower Mina Harker? Mina's already been deflowered, either by Jonathan or Dracula. Helva would need special hardware.
Does anyone on your friends' list read Seven slash?
Nikita slash? I suppose it must exist somewhere, but most of my FList isn't made up of big fanfic readers. If anyone reads Nikita slash, please speak up!
Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?
Mr. Dark het? I seriously doubt it. Does Mr. Dark fanfic even exist?
Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?
Queen Esther? Again, I seriously doubt it. If anyone does, I'd love to read/see it.
Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five?
Friday/Helva/Straha? Not a chance. Friday/Helva slash I could almost imagine, but I don't think any of my FList is into Harry Turtledove alternate histories, so adding Straha is just two weird.
What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?
"Edison, help me!"
If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, which song would you choose?
A song fic for Colossus? How about word-jazz over the top of Peter and the Wolf? Gotta have kettle drums.
If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warnings be?
Mina/Brandy/One? LOL! Twelve is One!
"Warning: slash; wholesome romantic drama with vampiric elements"
What might be a good pick-up line for Two to use on Ten?
Friday picking up Koot Hoomie? Well, her ethics might allow it: "Hey, kid, want to see what I have in my pocket?"
When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
Today, when I was checking to see if they exist.
What is Six's super-sekrit kink?
Brandy? She secretly loves Frank, but she just works with the animals.
Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?
Would Queen Esther shag Mr. Wednesday? Ouch. How many religions would be offended by a tryst between Esther and Odin? Honestly, she probably couldn't help herself. He's Odin! I think swooning in the presence of a god could count as drunk, don't you?
If Three and Seven get together, who tops?
Mr. Dark and Nikita? Nikita tops, with a gun to his head!
"One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three." What title would you give this fic?
Mina & Mr. Wednesday in a happy relationship? OK, I'll suspend disbelief for now. Mr. Wednesday runs off with Helva. Believable. Mina has a one-night-stand with Queen Esther and a brief unhappy affair with One, then follows the advice of Straha and finds true love with Mr. Dark. Mina and Mr. Dark might not be such a bad pairing, but the rest is just wacky.
That's just gratuitous! No, too silly!!!
Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
None. And nobody on my FList even knows all of these characters at the same time (other than me). I certainly wouldn't write it!
How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon?
Nikita/Colossus: That would work really well, on many levels.
