Give me a character from any fandom you know I know and I will tell you:
1. My favourite thing about that character.
2. My least favourite thing about that character.
3. One person I would ship them with in their own 'verse.
4. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
5. Their ship from hell.
6. Their song.
7. The title of their biography or autobiography.
8. The last bad dream they had.
9. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
10. Would I shag them? (Because of course you all care about this last one. ^_~)
Fandoms: Babylon 5 (including Crusade) Buffy/Angel, Firefly/Serenity, James Bond: Goldeneye, LotR (mostly movieverse, recently) Robotech, Star Wars (movies, some Clone Wars, Timothy Zahn's and Karen Traviss' novels.)

Date: 2008-01-23 01:41 am (UTC)2. My least favourite thing: how he forces himself on Natalya. (Though I do have my own mental work-around for that scene.
3. One person I would ship them with in their own 'verse: Bond. James Bond. Of course.
4. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat: Lilah, from Angel. They're both conniving, untrustworthy, and look good in a suit. What's not to love?
5. Their ship from hell: Again, James. (Literally, in the fic I'm working on.) For all that they're each other's perfect match, they're each other's worst enemy. The mirror their shadows.
6. Their song: For fanon!Alec: Right Here by Staind. Though a more canon-compliant song might be Voltaire's "When You're Evil" which is damn sexy. (It's fairly close to the top of my "if I could vid" list.)
7. The title of their biography or autobiography: Payback with Interest
8. The last bad dream they had: The same one he always has; walking in to the grubby little flat where he spent the first six years of his life, to find his parents dead; his mother with the back of her head blown away, the gun, covered with blood, still in his father's mouth.
9. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already. N/A, unfortunately!
10. Would I shag them? Definitely and a HALF.

Anakin Skywalker
no subject
Date: 2008-01-23 01:57 am (UTC)1. My favourite thing about that character. Her selfless heroism.
2. My least favourite thing about that character. Her tendency to become self-absorbed. Which, oddly enough, does not cancel #1; somehow, she manages both.
3. One person I would ship them with in their own 'verse. Grown-up!Xander. By the end of season 7, he'd gotten over the crush and had matured into the most adult of the scoobies. He'd be a good anchor for her.
4. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat. Zoe from Firefly. There would be much ass-kicking and name-taking, and it would be good.
5. Their ship from hell. Andrew. Nuff said.
6. Their song. Hero by Chad Kroeger featuring Josey Scott (from the Spiderman soundtrack.)
7. The title of their biography or autobiography. She Saved the World. A Lot.
8. The last bad dream they had. Buffy doesn't have nightmares; nightmares have Buffy! /norrisisms She still dreams sometimes about finding her mother.
9. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already. Permanently? After being retired from active slaying for many years, a threat will arise that only Buffy can handle. She'll kiss her grandchildren good-bye and walk into the maelstrom one last time.
10. Would I shag them? There's no way I'd be able to keep up with her -- but I'd have fun trying.

Date: 2008-01-23 02:09 am (UTC)1. My favourite thing about that character. That sheer reckless bravado, with a side order of wisecrack.
2. My least favourite thing about that character. His whininess.
3. One person I would ship them with in their own 'verse. Palpatine, the spider to his fly.
4. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat. Buffy Summers. They could asskick and wisecrack their way through both 'verses.
5. Their ship from hell. Jar-Jar Binks. Or Mace Windu. Or both.
6. Their song. "What I've Done" by Linkin Park. It's angsty and driven and there's a REASON there are so many vids with it on YouTube.
7. The title of their biography or autobiography. Vader: Before the Mask
8. The last bad dream they had. Since his fall, he's told himself that he doesn't dream. That he doesn't see Master Windu, or the younglings, staring at him accusingly. He can deny that -- but when he wakes, he still remembers Padme staring fighting for breath, and the satisfaction he felt when he did it.
9. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already. (Shh ... don't give Lucas any ideas.)
10. Would I shag them? Not my type -- even before he got the suit.

Date: 2008-01-23 01:33 pm (UTC)Yes yes YES! I think the two of them just have so many interesting and compelling parallels. It's on my list of fic ideas, but I'm not sure I could ever do them justice. I might just stick to my soon-to-be-posted essay on those parallels for now.
And I'm totally shallow: I'd do them both.
Great answers once again. This was fun.

Date: 2008-01-23 07:28 am (UTC)2. My least favourite thing about that character. He loves them, they get killed, and five minutes later, he's taking up with another one.
3. One person I would ship them with in their own 'verse. Alec, of course. :D
4. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat. My first thought is a character from my current origfic project, but that's useless. Maybe Dureena Nafeel, from Crusade; if nothing else, watching the pre-boink mutual disarm would be amusing.
5. Their ship from hell. Alec, naturally. Or any woman who was truly determined to be clingy. (Which might be amusing.)
6. Their song. Ex-Girlfriend, by Gwen Stefani. (Another one on the "if I could vid" list.)
7. The title of their biography or autobiography. [CLASSIFIED]
8. The last bad dream they had. Walking into M's office and realizing he'd forgotten to put on his pants.
9. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already. Either in bed (with three women) or shot by an angry ex-girlfriend.
10. Would I shag them? I'd worry that I'd catch something. Like maybe a bullet. (Besides, Alec would kill me if I tried anything.)

Date: 2008-01-23 09:19 pm (UTC)Hah! Good one. And James would definitely be shot by an angry ex-girlfriend.

Date: 2008-01-23 07:41 am (UTC)2. My least favourite thing about that character. Nothing, really. I suppose the fact that he made so much trouble for Our Heroes.
3. One person I would ship them with in their own 'verse. I've never really thought of him in the terms of "shippiness" but maybe Mon Mothma? (She's his equal; I can't see him with someone who can't hold his interest.)
4. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat. M, from James Bond. I think her mathematical mind would be an interesting challenge for him.
5. Their ship from hell. Joey from Friends. The stupid ... it burns us!
6. Their song. VNV Nation, Joy. *shrug* Just like the imagery.
7. The title of their biography or autobiography. "The Art of Victory"
8. The last bad dream they had. Sensory deprivation.
10. Would I shag them? No.

Date: 2008-01-24 06:23 am (UTC)2. My least favourite thing about that character. The whole "From a certain point of view" thing.
3. One person I would ship them with in their own 'verse. If things had turned out differently, I can see how he and Padme might have been good for each other.
4. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat. Galen, from Crusade. The Technomage and the Jedi might have an interesting time discussing their different ways of using the energies of the universe.
5. Their ship from hell. Palpatine.
6. Their song. Yellow Dancer's Lonely Soldier Boy. (Since we've already got crossovers in here.)
7. The title of their biography or autobiography. Next-To-Last of the Jedi
8. The last bad dream they had. He still dreams of Anakin, burning on Mustafar.
10. Would I shag them? Maybe, around Episode III-ish.

Date: 2008-01-25 12:26 am (UTC)My favorite thing about him: if there is any Decepticon that could be labeled as "good," that would be him. He just seems less evil than the others.
My least favorite thing about him: he's paired with a girl named Alexis, who's on a human team working for the Autobots. NEVER associate with the enemy.
One person I would ship him with their own verse: no one. Absolutely no one.
One crossover ship for him I think would be neat: nothing, because his disuise is a fighter jet, and so he already has the ability to fly and does not need a ship because he is one.
His ship from hell: I don't know what that means. I am just copying were_lemur.
His song: either "What I've Done," "Numb," "In the End," or "Somewhere I Belong," all by Linkin Park. You choose.
The title of his biography/autobiography: In the End.
The last bad dream he had: his last nightmare was real - Megatron the retard just had to kill him.
Would I shag him? NO!!! He's the AWESOMEST Decepticon that ever was!!!
