Fandom quiz, because I can. And look: each one is from a different fandom.
Choose twelve characters from your fandoms, then answer the questions under the cut. Do not look at the questions beforehand.
1. Mickey Kostmayer (Equalizer)
2. Jack Bauer (24)
3. John Crichton (Farscape)
4. Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly)
5. Rick Simon (Simon & Simon)
6. Seeley Booth (Bones)
7. Illya Kuryakin (Man from UNCLE)
8. Jack O'Neill (Stargate)
9. Ray (Stingray)
10. HM Murdock (A-Team)
11. Mac Taylor (CSI NY)
12. Wolverine (X-Men)
1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 (Booth) or 11 (Mac)? What subjects would they teach?
Mac. As much as I like Booth, Mac is the more intellectual. He would teach science, biology, forensics... typical CSI stuff.
2. Do you think 4 (Mal) is hot? How hot?
Yes. Not only is he good looking but he's got that whole western "Yes, ma'am" vibe about him. When he's got his leather duster and the tied down revolver... very hot. Yeah.
3. 12 (Wolvie) sends 8 (Jack O.) on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Wolvie would send Jack out to
4. What is or would be 9's (Ray) favourite book?
"The Art of Being Mysterious"
5. Would it make more sense for 2 (Jack B.) to swear fealty to 6 (Booth), or the other way around?
Ah. Booth would end up swearing fealty to Jack, because no one can resist the Velvet.
6. For some reason, 5 (Rick) is looking for a roommate. Should he share a studio apartment with 9 (Ray) or with 10 (Murdock)?
Rick is always looking for a roommate. I think he'd stick with Ray because Murdock is a little crazy, even for Rick. Besides Rick would love Ray's car and Ray would be gone most of the time, anyway.
7. 2 (Mal), 7 (Illya) and 12 (Wolvie) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
They'd go some place that serves good food and good liquor and where there's a back room they could hang out in. They'd end up discussing philosophies of life and politics between games of pool and darts.
8. 3 (Crichton) challenges 10 (Murdock) to a duel. What happens?
Hilarity. Murdock (being the one challenged) would demand it be something ridiculous like water pistols at 100 feet. Crichton, prepared for this, hides a stash of water balloons nearby and bombs Murdock before the match.
9. If 1 (Mickey) stole 8's (Jack O) most precious possession, how would he get it back?
Jack's most precious possession would be his signed Mary Steenburgen photo. Jack would end up having to tell McCall what Mickey did and Robert would make Mickey give it back.
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 (Illya) and 12 (Wolvie) both attain what they most desire.
Gads... I suck at titles and that's after I've written a story. I'll say my working title is "Tilting Windmills".
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Jack B.) and 1 (Mickey) to work together?
Planned terrorist attack in New York would work just fine.
12. If 7 (Illya) visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Heh. Fine. As long as I didn't let some of my friends know he was coming.
13. If you could command 3 (Crichton) to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Let me meet Moya and the rest of his crew.
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11 (Mac)?
No. I'm much to eclectic and most of my flist don't even know who he is.
15. If 2 (Mal) had to choose sides between 4 and 5 (Jack B. and Rick), which would it be?
It would depend on what each side was offering – both monetarily and philosophically.
16. What might 10 (Murdock) shout while charging into battle?
Hee! It totally depends on who he thinks he is at the time....
17. If you chose a song to represent 8 (Jack O.), which song would you choose?
"Live like you were dying"
18. 1 (Mickey), 6 (Booth) and 12 (Wolvie) 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?
Mickey. Both Booth and Wolvie would wave off and offer it to the others. Mickey would just eat it. Then they would all order more. Booth and Wolvie would make Mickey pay for it.
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 (Mal) to use on 5 (Rick)?
LOL. The image of that scene amuses me greatly. I think "Buy you a drink?" would be a great way to start. I so want to know the reasoning behind Mal thinking he needs to pick up Rick, and why Rick would go along with it. It would have to be completely non-slashy, too. Because Rick and slash – so not happening.
20. What would 4 (Jack B.) most likely be arrested for?
Let's see: torture, murder, attempted murder, assault and battery, breaking and entry, multiple breaches of national security, interfering in a federal investigation, aiding and abetting in numerous crimes, assisting in a prison break... I'm sure there are more that I can't think of right now (and that's all canon, too). In the end, though, I think he'd be most likely busted for traffic violations. If only for the irony of it.
21. What is 6's (Booth's) secret?
Oh... Booth's secret. He has so very many, most of which we don't know yet. How 'bout: He and Angela met at a club one night and partied 'til morning, but parted as more no than friends.
22. If 11 (Mac) and 9 (Ray) were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
In New York, it would be Mac, everywhere else, Ray.
23."1 (Mickey) and 9 (Ray) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Jack B.) sinister secret organization. 11 (Mac) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 (Mac) is actually a spy for 4 (Jack B.). Meanwhile, 4 (Jack B.) has kidnapped 12 (Wolvie) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Rick), they seek out 3 (Crichton), who gives them what they need to complete their quest." 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.
This whole premise has great promise, if only because CTU could so easily be a "sinister secret organization". Title: "Chaos 24". I'm not sure if three people on my flist would read it as either fanfic in general or the type of fic I write just isn't their thing.
finabair would if I'd badger her enough to be a beta and if she's not too busy.
kitap and
rbonke might. That's probably it. With that in mind, I think I'd have to write it, so I don't think it's going to get done. I do have an idea for a SG-1 and 24 cross-over, though. *grin*
24. If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 (Illya) or 8 (Jack O.)?
Illya. I love Jack and I'm sure he could do a good job, but Illya's been the one to walk me down dark alleys for a long time. Man of UNCLE is one of my first fandoms, after all. Long before I knew what a fandom was.

Date: 2006-06-18 08:08 am (UTC)From:#3, you need to finish your thought, you stop dead here:
3. 12 (Wolvie) sends 8 (Jack O.) on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Wolvie would send Jack out to
And darn it, I want to know what Wolvie would send Jack out to do!
You really need to write these ones:
7. 2 (Mal), 7 (Illya) and 12 (Wolvie) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
They'd go some place that serves good food and good liquor and where there's a back room they could hang out in. They'd end up discussing philosophies of life and politics between games of pool and darts.
8. 3 (Crichton) challenges 10 (Murdock) to a duel. What happens?
Hilarity. Murdock (being the one challenged) would demand it be something ridiculous like water pistols at 100 feet. Crichton, prepared for this, hides a stash of water balloons nearby and bombs Murdock before the match.
9. If 1 (Mickey) stole 8's (Jack O) most precious possession, how would he get it back?
Jack's most precious possession would be his signed Mary Steenburgen photo. Jack would end up having to tell McCall what Mickey did and Robert would make Mickey give it back.
Particularly 7 and 9. Why wouldn't Jack (for the latter) just try to get it back from Mickey personally, instead of involving McCall? How do you think Mickey would react, to Jack trying to get back Mickey's ill-gotten gain?
12. If 7 (Illya) visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Heh. Fine. As long as I didn't let some of my friends know he was coming.
LOL! I'd be one of the ones wanting to drop in and chat with Illya. Gads, long, long, *long* time crush on David McCallum. Do you watch him in "NCIS"? If you do, I guess you've probably already seen the one with teenage-Jack-clone.
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Jack B.) and 1 (Mickey) to work together?
Planned terrorist attack in New York would work just fine.
You *really* need to write this one, too! Damn, just imagine the combined hotness! (Yes, I did see Keith's eps, and saw Geraint Wyn Davies a bit... I realized when GWD was on it, the reason why GWD, Keith S. and Kiefer S. would never be on the same screen, at the same time, is because it would cause televisions worldwide to explode at the same time)
18. 1 (Mickey), 6 (Booth) and 12 (Wolvie) 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?
Mickey. Both Booth and Wolvie would wave off and offer it to the others. Mickey would just eat it. Then they would all order more. Booth and Wolvie would make Mickey pay for it.
*snicker* This sounds like it could be a fun read, too, although I would think Wolvie would have grabbed it. Mind you, all I've seen are the X-Men 'toons with Catherine Disher, Chris Potter, Cedric Smith et al doing the voices of the characters, and the first two X-Men movies.
You *so* need to write this, too:
23."1 (Mickey) and 9 (Ray) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Jack B.) sinister secret organization. 11 (Mac) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 (Mac) is actually a spy for 4 (Jack B.). Meanwhile, 4 (Jack B.) has kidnapped 12 (Wolvie) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Rick), they seek out 3 (Crichton), who gives them what they need to complete their quest." 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.
This whole premise has great promise, if only because CTU could so easily be a "sinister secret organization". Title: . I'm not sure if three people on my flist would read it as either fanfic in general or the type of fic I write just isn't their thing. [info]finabair would if I'd badger her enough to be a beta and if she's not too busy. [info]kitap and [info]rbonke might. That's probably it. With that in mind, I think I'd have to write it, so I don't think it's going to get done. I do have an idea for a SG-1 and 24 cross-over, though. *grin*
So... when are you going to start writing, hmmmm? *hopeful look*
