Voyage of the Damned, stuff about Dance Britannia (and some fic rambling)

[redfiona99]

I knew there was something I forgot. The best thing about it was totally Bernard Cribbins's character.

Dance Britannia, a programme about the changing nature of dance in Britain, was so much more fun than that sounds. Lots of old footage and explanations and just lots of fun. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Sat down and wrote about 3 pages of the Gail and Petey fic that I refer to as not Rosenstern and Guildenkrantz are Dead. It's so nice to be able to just write something. Although at this point, the only fics moving in a forwardly manner are those that feature Miss Kim.

Finally 2 memes:

Name a character from one of my fandoms and I'll give you (a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon, (b) a reason he/she sucks, (c) a reason she/he is awesomecakes, (d) five things that never happened to that character or (e) five people that character never fell in love with and why. You pick the character. I pick the letter.

or

If you had me under your command and could make me write anything, regardless of whether or not I know the fandom or if anybody even writes fic in that fandom and no matter how crack-addled it might be, what would you love to see me write?

I'm not actually going to write any of these (unless something strikes me), but I am curious.

Name a character

Since you mentioned Petey, let's go with Petey. :)

A reason why Petey Williams is awesomecakes:

Simply, because, despite being in posesion of a briefcase that Scott Steiner wants, he hasn't headed for the hills.

I completely forgot about Bernard Cribbins' little guest role too, despite me loving the continuity and in joke of a deserted London because everyone was too scared of the aliens!

And the Queen *giggles* That made me laugh.

Because he makes us both squee: Sylvain.

Meme response - 5 things that never happened to Sylvain

[redfiona99.livejournal.com]

1 - He's still getting over the 'flu, and must not have been as well as he thought. His vision wobbled like jello in an earthquake. He decided to spend the rest of the day in bed so he was fully fit for the next competition.

When he went to it, Eric, who was a friend even while he was the one guy he knew he could never beat, said that Pat Patterson had been at the last one, scouting for talent for the WWE.

Sylvain could have kicked himself for not going, but he had to think that there would be other opportunities.

2 - So he finally met the guy he was supposed to be in a team with. The kid was ridiculously young. He thought they'd been okay but higher powers decided that they just didn't gel well. It was probably for the best, goodness knows whether he could have got on with the kid if had to travel with him every day.

3 - It was one heck of a let down. A week before they're due to start filming stuff for their introductory promo Cornette gets a call saying that the gimmick's been nixed. They're to stay in OVW until creative come up with something else. It hits Rene harder than it hits him, and while he's trying to cheer him up later, Rene explains that the reason he's so annoyed about it is because he thinks this really could have worked out.

4 - Thankfully they didn't split them up in the draft. It had been a close run thing, but they'd decided Rene wasn't quite ready to go it alone. Give him another year they'd said. Sylvain was not going to complain about that, even if Rene did.

5 - He'd never thanked God, and all the other deities, quite as much as he did after that match. Half an inch further along, and he would have been looking at a long injury lay off.

I'll go with Sabin for kicks.

Character meme response

Five people Chris Sabin didn't fall in love with:

- Alex Shelley - His life would probably be easier if he had fallen in love with Alex, he spent enough time with him, which meant he didn't have time to do anything with anyone else.

- AJ Styles - Everyone loved AJ, that was a given. So did Chris, but he really didn't get the lust thing. It didn't stop AJ being the coolest thing since, before and including sliced bread and skateboards though.

- Jay Lethal - If he was going to be imaginary boyfriends with anyone who wasn't Alex, then it would have to be Jay who liked the same kind of stuff, tv, music and the like as him, and was the only person who ever gave him a good fight at Pro Skater.

- Nash - Okay, so Alex was embarrassingly head over heels for him, but Chris just didn't get it. Once Alex got over him, they were so out of here.

- Petey Williams - It was like Alex, but worse and different. Mostly because Alex didn't try and drag his ass to the gym at seven in the morning.
