Fandom-Related Q&A Meme

[quaggy]

I was going to post my Harry Potter blatherings, but then I saw this meme over at zinke  and decided that that I so would rather do this instead.

Ask me a fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom, lj stuff, fic writing, etc. Questions can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want.

The last tv show you watched is about to be crossed over with the last movie you watched: What is the title of this epic movie and describe the plot in 2 sentences or less. Bonus! What is the movies tagline?

Would you rather be a wizard who trained at Hogwarts, a Jedi, or the companion of the Doctor?

Name a song that reminds you of something fanish you're into right now.

What is the title of this epic movie and describe the plot in 2 sentences or less.

*pout* This doesn't sound so epic unless you're familiar with the source material but trust me, it totally is: My Favorite Year with John Stewart. Tagline: "He's not a reporter. He's a comedian." (The famous quote from My Favorite Year is "I'm not an actor, I'm a movie star!")


Hogwarts, a Jedi, or the companion of the Doctor?

No contest. I get a light saber and a cool hoodie? SIGN ME UP!!


Name a song that reminds you of something fanish

Dude, how long you got? It generally takes me a while in the fandom, before I start associating songs with the show/movie. So most of these are classic fandoms for me. Here's a few just off the top of my head:

The Fray's "Cable Car" is so season 6/7 Josh on the campaign trail. If I had any fanvid making skills at all, this would already exist.

The Cranberries "Linger" makes me think of Donna after she joins the Santos team, but before thinks are okay with Josh.

KT Turnstall's "Other Side of the World" alway makes me think of Katara.

"Can't Let it Go" by Goo Goo Dolls makes me think of my Katara/Zuko ship.

Seal's "Crazy" (or better yet, Alanis Morissette's cover) really fits Witch Hunter Robin well.

And I have a LOT associated with Green Day:

"Warning" is so perfect for Life that I would pay someone to make me a fanvideo for it.

Likewise I can rarely listen to "Static Age" without thinking of Firefly.

"The Grouch" makes me think of Toby or Zuko, depending on whether I'm in a West Wing or A:tLA sort of mood.

And "Uptight" makes me think of either Dani from Life or Josh Lyman, depending.

There's a fair number (of non-Green Day songs) than make me think of LWD, but I won't bother with those, since that's SOOOO not your fandom. Besides, this list is way too long as it is.

The Jedi hoodie is quite epic indeed. I am often sad that I can't wear one all the time.

DUDE. I would watch My Favourite Year with Jon Stewart in a HEARTBEAT. (I'm totally familiar with it. Peter O'Toole=one of my favourite actors ever.)

Hahahah that's quite a song list you've got going there. faaaaaaaaaaaaaanmix tiiiiime! Or, you know, playlist. Whatever. :P

Peter O'Toole=one of my favourite actors ever.

He's wonderful, isn't he? I should have guessed you would be a fan!

Hahahah that's quite a song list you've got going there.

Heh, well it was years in the making. :-) You notice none of the fandoms or songs are that new. I think the fastest I ever started associating a song with a fandom was "Fill my Little World" by the Feeling. If found that fanvid I posted over at you LJ about six months ago and I was playing it a lot, just because I liked the song. As it so happens I was rereading one of my favorite mangas at the time... and I realized that the lyrics fit the character so well, I can't separate the two anymore.
