Stupid jet lag. I need something to do, so we're going to do that shuffle meme thing again. Or maybe I'll actually find something new. How about a book meme? That would be fun. Never mind. Two memes, both pinched from Rhi.

Heh. I haven’t actually read any good Mary Sues, so…but I don’t think about them too much.

No.

Um, yeah. Mostly on that one really strange Balto story. …uh huh.

Choose twelve of your original characters, in any particular order. Then, answer the questions that follow, but DON'T LOOK AT THE QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU PICK THE CHARACTERS!
1. Othello (the extremely tragick, wangsty hero of my first novel length story. I love him, though.)
2. The unnamed beastie from a story I started but didn’t finish, who is not human and is probably sort of insane. We’ll call her Sparky.
3. Keearh (he’s crazy, winged, and savage. I love him.)
4. Aya (a sort of characterless girl from a story I wrote a while ago. There’s not much you can say about her.)
5. Taine (gentlemanly, snarky, and bloodsucking. Yes, he’s a vampire. I love him, too.)
6.
7. Viviane (she’s crazy, too. And werewolfly. I love her almost as much as Taine. Or Keearh.)
8. This One Girl from another story (she doesn’t talk, and she’s sort of weirdly…weird.)
9. Iris (Oh my god, the greatest Mary Sue ever written. She’s an elf – tall, perfect, and womanly. Ha!)
10. Kashira (the incredibly bitchy wolf-goddess made mortal in this one story I started writing that had really intense wolfliness and wolfly culture. She’s cool.)
11. Pavana (the lesbian lover in this one crazy harem girl story I wrote. Yes, I know.)
12. Kamaria (I know, don’t laugh. She’s a werewolf, too. But of a very different class.)
(this one is very amusing.)
1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11?
*snort*
2. Do you think #2 is hot? How hot?
Um. No. She isn’t.
3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
…somehow I can’t see those two anywhere near each other. Except for the fact that they both have convenient amnesia.
4. What is or would be 9's favorite book?
Her own, because it’s all about her.
5. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
*PLORT* Um. Probably Sparky to
6. For whatever reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should 5 share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?
Taine? Um. Probably with Kashira, because he wouldn’t kill her offhand. Taine would whup Iris’s ass. Hard.
7. 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Viviane would kill Sparky offhand and then probably Kamaria would roll over and show her belly, upon which Viviane would stalk off to find someone more interesting.
8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Keearh versus Kashira. Um, Keearh would kill her. Right away. Despite the fact that she’s a bitch, she’s not going to win that one.
9. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would 8 get it back?
Crying. They could cry together.
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
It would probably involve a lot of blood and death, considering that Viviane doesn’t like wimps at all, and Kamaria is sort of a wimpy werewolf.
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Othello would cry. Aya would feel sorry for him. They would work together so Othello wouldn’t cry anymore.
12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
I’d be dead within a day.
13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
There’s a few people I’d like to kill. And he’s sort of secksy, so…but I didn’t say that.
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw anything regarding 11?
Um, no. Mimi came up with the idea for her story, though.
15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Aya, considering that Taine wouldn’t really want to be on anyone’s side.
16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
She’d howl. Or something.
17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
Since she doesn’t talk, probably I would just have silence.
18. 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
"Nice…fur.”
20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Murder. Or espionage.
21. What is 6's secret?
He fathered an incestuous relationship and subsequently killed his son.
22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Iris, because she pwns all.
23. If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
Um, nonspeaking girl, because even though Viviane is hecka awesome, I don’t have a death wish.
24. 1 and 9 reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's sinister secret organization. 11 volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5, they seek out 3, who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
Othello and Iris team up against Aya. (ha! That’s some wimpy fighting there. Well, not Iris. But still.) Pavana’s a spy and Kamaria got kidnapped (no one really cares.) Following Taine’s advice, they look for Keearh, and are promptly all killed by the pair of them. Sounds like fun.
Aaaah the formatting isn't working! Sorry for eating your flist...really.

You named a werewolf Kamaria! For the win! We totally named a sim that once.
