This was fun when I answered [livejournal.com profile] selenak's, and is a really clever way of thinking about our TV love.



Sum up your former/current fandoms in a few sentences, as if they were human beings/very convincing sockpuppets on your flist. Then let others guess "who" you're writing to.

1. You know everything I like, you push all the right buttons, and you're a wonderful thing to come home to, even when you're batshit insane. Stay around. SGA, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] fourteenlines first.

2. You are a charmer and player, and you're open to all sorts of new and exciting combinations, and, as if that wasn't enough, you've got all the best gadgets and toys. It's enough to excuse your occasional right-wing bent, and plus, you're just so adorable. NCIS, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] wearemany first.

3. God, you were hot. Brilliant and passionate, driven and emotional. You made me think we could have it all. Go all the way. I would have given my life over to you. And then you sold out, you schmuck, and I can't forgive you for that. You broke my heart. The West Wing, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] likethesun2 first.

4. You fascinated me as a young woman, in my tender years. I lusted after you because you were a dark new world daring to rub elbows with folks your family would never have touched thirty years before, and you rose to the challenge. I had a lot of respect for you -- still do. ST:DS9, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] ubixtiz first.

5. You scared me when I was younger, and it's only recently I've dared to get closer, and to take our relationship into something more. You're still new to me, and definitely scary as hell, but by god you're sexy as fuck at the same time. You're more than a little dangerous, and that is both sad and terrifying, and I know you're going to break my heart, because you do it over and over and over again. And still, somehow I come back to all the torture...for the love. Oz, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] likethesun2 first.

6. You're crazy, sprawling and incomprehensible and slapped together out of gum wrappers and space alien technology, and I love you so much my heart hurts. I will go with you, anywhere. New Doctor Who, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] ubixtiz first.

7. I thought you were so cool and so smart, and I would have died to hang out with you, and then I did, and it was everything I'd hoped for and more than I could have ever imagined. For a while I thought I'd found utopia. But, unsurprisingly, you let me down. You strung me along for years, and you let me down. It's a good thing I have fond memories of you, and some good friends from when you and I were together, because that makes the whole embarassing mess worth it. The X-Files, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] likethesun2 first.

8. You're so sexy I can't even touch you. You're so sexy I want to watch you have sex with other things that are sexy. And so I'll continue to stalk you, from a distance, because your libido and your politics and your dangerous edge scare me a little. But I will agree, you have never ever looked better, and this time you know how to make me scream. New BSG, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] likethesun2 first.

9. You'll always be my truest love. What we went through together -- you don't forget that. I saw you at your best, and I saw you at your worst, and I still love every inch of you. Nothing can take that away. Babylon 5, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] fourteenlines first.

10. You're like family to me. You're always here, familiar, intuitive, comforting. You know how to cheer me up when I'm down, and you're the only one I go to when I really need to be cared for. You make my world a better place. M*A*S*H, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] wearemany first.

Some of the others I have to think on, but these I'm pretty sure of:

3. TWW

5. Oz

7. ...XF?

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
All four, spot on, my girl!

[identity profile] christhetoken.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
Man this one was hard but I did my best. Sup, sab?

1. Rocky & Bullwinkle (GO PEABODY!)
2. Fraggle Rock Fic, mostly for the tales of Travelling Uncle Matt.
3. Starship Troopers (The Animated Series) Fic
4. This one is easy. Super Mario Brothers Incest/Slashfic
5. Dance Dance Revolution Fanfiction
8. Harry Potter/Dark Tower Crossover
10. Pokemon Slashfic

4. This one is easy. Super Mario Brothers Incest/Slashfic

The scary part is this actually exists and I have totally read it.

(#5 - ahahaha.)

Your mother must be so proud.

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Where IS my Uncle Travelling Matt/Dark Tower crossover, is what I wanna know? The one where Unca Matt accidentally finds himself on the path of the Beam of the Turtle?

Also HI YOU. HI!

6 - Farscape?

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Farscape did NOT make the list, for reasons I don't fully understand. I think mostly I just forgot about it? *g*

[identity profile] wearemany.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. I should rock at this meme. I should be able to do all of these. And yet I feel TOTALLY UNSURE OF THE ANSWERS TO ANY OF THEM. Also, if any of these are not TV, well, I'm just fucked.

Inspired by others, I'd guess #7 is Farscape. #6 could be Firefly OH EXCEPT I think it's actually SGA. #8 could definitely be BSG. I think #2 could be NCIS? #5 could be Dr. Who, unless it's not. #4 might be various Star Treks. #1 could be Bones, or not.

I think 9 could be Sorkin, unless it's 3, and 10 could be M*A*S*H. 3 could also be X-Files, but it's also possible at this point that I'm just projecting because your write-ups would match my fandoms like that.

Well, at least this will be good for a laugh and a live reenactment around Shoemoney Haus.

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
You fully did not totally suck! 8 is indeed BSG and you were the only one to correctly identify #2 as NCIS!

And 10 is MASH. And the rest are wrong. *g* And I love you!

Fun games.

[identity profile] ubixtiz.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, can I try?
1. Who
2. SGA?
3. West Wing
4. It's gotta be Trek -- DS9?
5. Oz?
6. No, wait, maybe *this* is Who. In which case I have no idea what 1 is.
7. XF
8. BSG03
9. SN
10. dS

Most of those are just flaily guesses, but it's a fun game.

Re: Fun games.

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
3 IS West Wing! 4 IS DS9! 6 IS Doctor Who! 7 IS XF! 8 IS BSG!

Go team Ubix!

Re: Fun games.

[identity profile] ubixtiz.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay!

Um, I had a thought about #1. It sounds like something new. Torchwood?

Re: Fun games.

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2006-11-17 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
It is NOT Torchwood. But I like yer thinking.

[identity profile] typicrobots.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
1. The Office?
6. DW!
7. XF?

I know Sorkin is in there somewhere, but eh, I'm tired.

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Is true re: 6&7...

[identity profile] thassalia.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)

2. SGA?
6. Dr. Who?
7. X-Files
10. MASH?

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
100% correct, hot mama!

[identity profile] thassalia.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee!!! Yeah!!!! (I will admit I had to read the list twice, for fear of misdirection and misinterpretation:)

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2006-11-17 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
WAIT I lied, #2 is NCIS, not SGA...

[identity profile] thassalia.livejournal.com 2006-11-17 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee hee! I went back to look at the answers for everything else and saw that:)

Hee!!!

But I had those few hours to bask in the false glow of being right:) (Mostly because I forgot all about NCIS!!)

[identity profile] boxmint.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
9--could it be--thirtysomething?

[identity profile] marinwood.livejournal.com 2006-11-17 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
I'll take a wild stab and say...#1 is Scrubs and #9 is BoB?

[identity profile] fourteenlines.livejournal.com 2006-11-17 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Is #9 Babylon 5? Is #1 SGA??

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2006-11-17 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Clean sweep from Shaye! So, so true.

[identity profile] fourteenlines.livejournal.com 2006-11-17 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Woo! I almost never get these right (at least not unless a dozen other people have gotten it right first.)
