fic exchange rec & a fandom meme
I still lack updates of any kind, though I did finish my fic for UR.org's Christmas fic exchange. Naturally it's still i posting and secrecy mode so I cannot link you to any fic of mine that may or may not be posted yet, but that's where I've been. Well, that and exams. I also have one tomorrow. I should study, yes? But it's philosophy and philosophy is stupid because a) even when you know it, you don't do really well and b) even when you don't know it you don't do really poorly. Or, well, that's been my experience, anyway. Huzzah for circular definitions and post hoc fallacy and blah blah...
Yeah, I'm enthused.
Also! The fic someone wrote for me was posted, so it is my duty to rec it here. Yay.
Title: The Final Stage
Rating: PG-13
Summary: 12 Grimmauld Place is nobody's idea of the perfect place for a party. Yet that is where Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Nymphadora Tonks find themselves spending the fourteenth anniversary of Voldemort's defeat. Overwhelmed by memories of that Halloween night, the three just want to drink brandy and forget.
It is basically exactly what I was going for, which is impressive since I am apparently incapable of writing a half-decent prompt. Yay, mystery author! (Yeah, no, I actually don't know who it was. Mysterrryyy. *waves fingers spookily*)
As another means of procrastination, here's a random meme! Yay! I don't know. Um, go wild. (Give me other ways to procrastinate!)
Pick a fictional character from a fandom I know and I'll answer the following questions to the best of my abilities.
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
Yeah, I'm enthused.

What was your prompt, exactly? I haven't read it yet but I like to see how the author uses the prompt as a base to write the whole thing.

Omfg POCAHONTAS? I haven't even seen that movie in like fifty years, but okay.
POCAHONTAS:
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
I think she was pretty cool. She could talk to animals and shit man, she KNEW THE LAND.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Um she's the titular character, you guess.
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
Uh, I don't remember. I can't really relate because I'm an evil pale face though. Sry Pocahontas. I don't think she ever gripped me TOO emotionally because if she did I would remember that movie better.
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
I am not familiar with it at all. Silly Sharon.
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
rofl. POCAHONTAS/JOHN SMITH FTW? I don't even know who else she could possibly be paired with. Also, did John Smith leave her in the end? Anyone remember? Man what an asshole.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
Naw she's cool.
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
Like I said I am an evil pale face so I would probably accidentally give her a white man disease and kill her, or something. But other than that I would totally hang out with her animal friends, animals are cool.
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
Um, she's not on any of my lists at all.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
lirl I'd be like "well she's kind of the point of the film what are you doing here if you don't like her are you just here for the Miko/Percy slash?"
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
I'd imagine she probably is!

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
In Twilight he didn't interest me, though I instantly thought "wow he is going to like Bella and shit is going to go down". In New Moon I liked him, but I wanted him to slap Bella silly for being such an emo bitch. In Eclipse I didn't like him as much as New Moon, because he was all... assholey, but he was hilarious and he's still better than Edward.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
UM YA HES PART OF THE LOVE TRIANGLE OF DOOM!
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
No one in Twilight gripped me emotionally. And.. no, I wouldn't say I can really relate to him. I'm not a werewolf or a guy or Native American (OMG JACOB/POCAHONTAS FTW) or even in unrequited love with anyone.
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
The Twilight fandom is made of 50% fail, 40% lulz and 10% competence. I like the lulz? And I stalk the lj comms for said lulz.
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
I think Bella should choose Jacob (LOL PRO-LIFE?!?!) but on the other hand she's a dumbass so her and Edward can be dumbasses together. I think if Meyer wants her novels to hvae ANY KIND OF OVERALL THEME AT ALL, though, she should go with Jacob/Bella. But she won't. I know. Also I think Jacob/Leah would totally happen for the hot unrequited angsty sex, and I wish there was more Jacob/Edward in the world just for the hilarity.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
Like I said, he was kind of a dick in Eclipse, but whatevs. Also, I don't really like Meyer's werewolf mythology -- it's more Hulk!wolf than anything, and I am so used to the normal myth, or at least Rowling's myth. And he would ditch that Bella bitch and go imprint on someone wicked-cool.
Except imprinting is made of fail.
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
I think we could be friends. At least I hope so, I am so much better than Bella, hahahaha. He seems like a COOL DUDE and he's funny so I'd like him. Funny people ftw.
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
He's high up for the Twilight series, but not high up overall.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Probably, in the sense that I'd be like "yeah he's totally better than Edward, ftw". But he was hyped up for me before I read the books and as a resultI was kind of underwhelmed.
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
Sorta. He has his fans but then there's the screaming Edward fangirls who are like OMG HE IS AN EVIL RAPIS I LUV VAMPIRES OMGOMGOMG.
