bronze_ribbonsNon-fandom readers should definitely skip this post -- extreme self-indulgence ahead. (In fact, I originally shelved it, period, but I can think of at least one LJ-friend who will find the results inordinately amusing, so who am I to hold back?)
Anyway:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mctabby let loose a fandom-modified meme that has been spawning some seriously three-eared, five-legged bunnies around the LJ warren. So, of course I couldn't resist playing. (Since I'd already seen the questions, I mayhemized my list by sorting the names into reverse alpha order.)
The Rules
First, write down the names of 12 characters. Then read and answer the questions.
You can't look at the questions (or click on the cut) until you write down the 12 characters you're going to use.
1. Will Stanton
2. Sherlock Holmes
3. Severus Snape
4. Remus J. Lupin
5. Mervyn Bunter
6. Lord Peter Wimsey
7. Ivan Vorpatril
8. Hound of the Baskervilles
9. Dowager Duchess of St. Ives (Stephanie Laurens)
10. Dowager Duchess of Denver (Dorothy L. Sayers)
11. Cordelia Vorkosigan
12. Bran Davies
Have you ever read a Lord Peter/Cordelia Vorkosigan fic? Do you want to? Could be interesting. Two hyper-intelligent war veterans and their ruthless codes of honor...
Do you think Lupin is hot? How hot? Depends on the image and/or characterization in question; I tend to be most attracted to fic!Lupins when they're demonstrating his ability to kick ass and/or kiss Snapes into stupors. When he's wearing Ralph Fiennes's face? Pass the ice cubes, please.
What would happen if Bran Davies got the Hound of the Baskervilles pregnant? Oh, dear God. What is it about the lad and supernatural canines?
Can you rec any fic(s) about the Dowager Duchess of St. Ives? I don't know of any Cynster fics, period. I admit I tossed Helena into this mix just to up the unstoppable widow quotient.
Would Holmes and Wimsey make a good couple? No. But they could probably manage a bottle of wine and a conversation about Lassus.
Bunter/Dowager - St. Ives or Bunter/Dowager - Denver? Why? St. Ives. Because Bunter with Peter's mother? No, no, no.
What would happen if Ivan walked in on Sherlock Holmes and Bran Davies having sex? Presuming Bran is of age, nothing. Not Ivan's problem.
Make up a summary for a Snape/Dowager Duchess of Denver fic. Hee! I see her dabbing iodine onto Snape's nose, cheerfully ignoring his protests about having a perfectly superior salve...
Is there any such thing as Will Stanton/Hound of the Baskervilles fluff? Ok, what is it about the Arthurian boys and that dog!?
Suggest a title for an Ivan/Bran hurt/comfort fic. Um. Unwilling Lords?
What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Remus Lupin to deflower Will Stanton? Two brown-haired, bookish, seemingly unflappable Arthurian specialists start reciting Tennyson to each other to pass the time during a blackout; parts of In Memoriam revive long-suppressed memories of lost loves, leading to cuddling and comfort sex. Okay, I just made myself ill.
Does anyone on your friends list read Ivan Vorpatril slash? Hell, I've written it (sortof).
Does anyone on your friends list read Snape het? Sure.
Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Cordelia Vorkosigan? She's shown up as a secondary character in the LoPverse and elsewhere.
Would anyone on your friends list write Holmes/Lupin/Bunter? Possibly. *eyes the three*
What might the Dowager Duchess of Denver scream at a moment of great passion? You know, she's Peter's mother. My mind is refusing to go there.
If you wrote a song-fic about Hound of the Baskervilles, which song would you choose?
Marcia Ball's cover of "Let Me Play With Your Poodle."
If you wrote a Will Stanton/Lord Peter/Bran Davies fic, what would the warnings be? Elitism, piffling, and excessive cribbing from Tennyson.
What might be a good pick-up line for Sherlock Holmes to use on Dowager Duchess of Denver? He wouldn't. He'd just let her talk and sift the kernels from the chaff...
When was the last time you read a fic about Bunter? earlier this spring, whenjamoche rec'd The Lost Chord.
What is Lord Peter's super-sekrit kink? *coughs* Harriet role-playing Bunter.
Would Cordelia Vorkosigan shag the Dowager Duchess of St. Ives? Drunk or sober? That could be interesting. They're both unshockable, after all.
If Snape and Ivan get together, who tops? Snape.
"Will Stanton and the Dowager Duchess of St. Ives are in a happy relationship until she suddenly runs off with Remus Lupin. Will, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Countess Vorkosigan and a brief unhappy affair with Bran Davies, then follows the wise advice of Bunter and finds true love with Severus Snape." What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it. Um..um... The Light Beyond the Ending? (Jesus, I'm pants at titles.) I have no idea if anyone on the flist is acquainted with all of these characters, let alone whether they would care, but in terms of sheer skill with peculiar pairings,helenish (Ron/Draco and Neville/Pansy) leaps to mind.
How would you feel if Ivan/Hound was canon? "I would have never suspected you of such Betan breadth of taste, Ivan."

3/9/05 02:15 (UTC)Um, hi back! (You saw the Sayers x Rowling index (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mechaieh/113316.html), yes? Not exactly LP fanfic but perhaps some of it will tide you over. There are also some links and mentions of other tributes to LP in this thread (http://www.livejournal.com/community/lupin_snape/326397.html?thread=2953981#t2953981).
