Meme First!

[jamesq]

I think I'm the first among the local group to try this meme. Give it a shot.

Post a list of 10(ish) books/movies/TV shows that you've had a fannish love of at some time in your life.
-- Have your friends guess your favorite character from each one.
-- You can cross out the show/movie/book and put the character when someone guesses.

1) The Hilarious House of Frightenstein (Bwana Clyde Batty, guessed by evilscientist)
2) ElfQuest (Skywise, guessed by bungle_lord)
3) Titanic (1997) (Rose, guessed by evilscientist)
4) Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Xander, guessed by bungle_lord)
5) Angel (Wesley, guessed by nobody)
6) Planetary (The Drummer, guessed by spookiemonkie2)
7) House MD. (Wilson, guessed by nobody)
8) Firefly (Wash, guessed by stephtopia)
9) Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon series (Joe the PI, guessed by nobody)
10) Alice in Wonderland (The Chesire Cat, guessed by stephtopia)

2) Intriguing choices, but not the right ones. I always did have a soft spot for Two-Edge.

My biggest problem with ElfQuest is that the story went on too long (and god knows I was guilty of aiding and abetting that by buying everything WaRP put out. It's been over ten years since I've read EQ and I think I've forgotten the mediocrity that followed its initial greatness. I think it might be time to reread the original and remind myself why I loved it.

4) Right guy for the right reasons!

5) I liked Fred, but she always struck me as a character written with the fanboys in mind. I couldn't get past that. My favorite was someone else.

6) Book was always a bit of a fifth wheel.

9) Think less with the bar and more with the brothel.

10) Arthropod types with the hookah pipes? Nope.
