Meme, baaaaa.

[brigdh]

From b_hallward: Name your 10 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.

Except I tried to do this, and just simply could not get to 10, even when I was counting Spike/Buffy, Spike/Drusilla, and Spike/Dawn* as three different couples. So, I decided to change the rules to suit myself. Because I should get to participate in every single meme that vaguely interests me. Go me!

Name your 10 absolutely favorite characters and ask people to see what trends they notice about your characters. Try to pick different characters.

1. Hisoka (Yami no Matsuei)
2. Alec (Swordspoint)
3. Sanzo (Saiyuki)
4. Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
5. Dawn (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
6. Jack (Pirates of the Caribbean)
7. House (House)
8. Mercutio (Romeo and Juliet)
9. Death (Discworld)
10. Drizzt Do'Urden (Forgotten Realms)**

there is a definite jack-alec-spike-mercutio-house thing there. I'd put house and spike together, and alec and jack and mercutio together, but words art failing me to describe the connections. baby ate my brains.

[pukingtoreador.livejournal.com]

Sanzo and Spike are both blond.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee. As is Hisoka! And Mercutio could be, if you wanted! And Drizzt's hair is white, which is sorta like platinum blond! Clearly this is the link.

I don't believe that I've ever seen a blond Mercutio, he said dubiously...

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

I have, in a high school production. I don't necessarily think of Mercutio as blond, but there's no reason why not, unless the director is going for some specific type of look with the character (like in Baz Luhrmann's version, casting Mercutio and the Prince as the only two black characters, since in some interpretations they should be related to one another).

I kinda sorta LOVE this reframing of this particular meme. I feel it's more relevant to my interests. ;-)

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

You should do it, too! Since, once I could not come up with 10 OTPs, it was thinking about your concept of OTC that inspired me.

[ranalore.livejournal.com]

Done!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

It's clear from your list you like people with snappy wit.

Also, when I was a social worker, I had a case with a kid who was named Drizzt. No kidding.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

I notice a lot of rogues and angst. Sometimes angsty rogues.

I liked Spike/Dawn too. I'm still half-convinced one of the reasons for the attempted rape was to kill Spike/Dawn shippers (ha, like anything could).

[darkelf105.livejournal.com]

Okay, I have nothing relevant to say except, ZOMG! You're a Drizzt fan?! Lol, I guess from your journal, which I must admit, I only started reading recently, that you wouldn't be, lol.

...also, I was twelve too...and do not guiltily have the newest book pre-ordered on Amazon...nope...not me...

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

I don't currently talk much about it, admittedly, but OMG, I read those books to shreds.

Hee! I haven't read the newer books. I really should.

[darkelf105.livejournal.com]

I must admit, they've only gotten worse and if possible, more embarrassing, but I can't stop. It was a love from my childhood and it won't die...just like my sixth grade crush on Bruno Catalano...if he walked into my life right no, even after all these years, no matter what's happened to that Italian bombshell's looks, I'd still drool. Some feelings just can't be helped.

Spike/Buffy, Spike/Drusilla, and Spike/Dawn

See rec post that I just put up? :D Also, if you have any recs in turn, let me know.

Also, we should all love Death.

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

I THINK SO TOO.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee, I did see. It was awesome.

I haven't read Buffy fic in so long, I don't remember many specific recs. And, searching for some, I find that my favorite author has taken all her stuff down for RL reasons, siiiigh. kita0610 has awesome stuff here (http://www.ficbitch.com/almightygah/).

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

Best slash footnotes ever! 8D

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, with possible exceptions of 1) and 3), about whom I know nothing, they are all quite brilliant, and highly verbal.(Dawn is bright, she's just young, and she used to be a key.Jack isn't dumb, just under the influence of rum.))

[pineapplechild.livejournal.com]

I kinda wanna see House mentor Dawn now.

The one similarity I can see among all of them is that they're all a bit brilliant, and more then a bit sharp-edged.

[lynndyre.livejournal.com]

Snarky with some cases running towards mean? Tendency to focus on self, with a few exceptions? (not Mercutio or DEATH, but a lot of the others)
