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.

no subject
Dwight! YES
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
Dwight is fantastic. FANTASTIC. Nothing more needs to be said.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Dwight and Jim interacting basically makes the show, so yes. Yes he is.
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
Lol I guess in some ways I've been the weird kid before, though never to the extent that Dwight is. Um, I love Harry Potter? (Dwight + DH = amazing!) I do feel pretty bad for him with the recent Angela/Andy development. :(
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
I don't know much about it but it makes good icons and they seem like a pretty clever lot.
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)
DWANGELA = OTP. That is the keyword for the icon I am using. Oh Dwangela is love. Lovelovelovelove. Jam is cute and all but WTF DWANGELA FTW! And I also quite love the Dwight-Jim dynamic, the Michael-Dwight dynamic, and... shit I love Dwight-Everyone.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
Uhm, not really. He is pretty hilarious as is, I think.
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 doubt we would be BFF because Dwight isn't really BFF with anyone. I would probably think he was weirdly fascinating and it would kind of be like Pam-Dwight interaction only when Pam is not conspiring to prank him in some way.
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
Um yeah def. I need my "all I want for Christmas is Dwight Schrute" icon on lj.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Yes. I would banter on and on about how Dwight is my hero and he is so amazing and hilarious and they would be annoyed with me forever.
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
Yes. I don't think you could like the Office if you hated Dwight.
