Pragmatist of Squee

Stolen from jedipirate

Ganked from rallalon:

Comment with the name/title of a fandom I'm aware of, no matter how obvious you think the answers will be, and I'll reply you with the relationships - canon or not - from it I ship.

Gakked from wendymr, because why not, after all?

So, go on. Throw one word at me, and I'll write you a PotC or Doctor Who-related sentence based on that word.

Post a list of as many things that have made you happy recently as you feel like listing. 
Tag everyone who feels like doing the same.

Five things that have made me happy recently:

1. drbillbongo - I got your postcard!  *bounces*  Thank you!  I enjoyed the view of Augsburg's Christmas market (shiny), and if I choose to believe that there were lots of pretty pirates and commodores (and rum) inside the buildings, well, it can't exactly be disproved, can it now?  *grins*

2. Tennis.  Is fun.  And I'm almost to the point where I can hit the ball back in strategically evil ways some of the time, and not just hope it ends up somewhere in the opposite court.

3. Fandom in general.  Brilliant, brilliant place/culture/epidemic, with far more extremely good fics than I can ever (logically) hope to read.

4. Fandom in particular.

5. The plant on my bedside table with the bright, bright yellow flower that  reminds me a little bit of a miniature sunflower, but isn't - the name of which I've completely forgotten.  Rubiniya, or Rubidium or something.  But it's a bright splash of colour, and I've been enjoying it.  I should plant it sometime, before it dies.

Everyone who feels like doing this meme - consider yourselves tagged :-D

Guess which fandom goes with which number – shouldn’t be too hard, because I wrote it more to amuse myself than to be cryptic.

1. There can be only one.  Slash!  Stab!  Chop!  (Highlander, guessed by xzombiexkittenx)
2. There can be only two, and one of them’s your father.  Mwahahaha! (Star Wars, guessed by msp_hacker)
3. But it’s better with three.  Beware the giant pepper-pots of DOOM! (Doctor Who, guessed by msp_hacker)
4. Make that lemons.  Beware the lemons of DOOM!  Also, turn things on with your mind and get eaten by life-sucking space vampires. (Stargate: Atlantis, guessed by shrieking_ell)
5. Alternatively, get eaten by non-space vampires while trying to poke sticks into them. (Buffy, guessed by xzombiexkittenx)
6. And/or by life-sucking demons of apocalyptic proportions.  Stay dead for a month. (Torchwood, guessed by msp_hacker)
7. Make that a year.  For tax purposes. (Hitchhiker's Guide, guessed by xzombiexkittenx)
8. And speaking of money, how about returning that cursed gold?  The undead thing really messes with ones sex life. (PotC: CotBP, guessed by xzombiexkittenx)
9. As does dying, but if you must – murdered by pirates is good.  But your girlfriend will go and get herself engaged to a prince. (Princess Bride, guessed by xzombiexkittenx)
10. Also bad for the sex life: flirting with a jar of dirt.  It doesn’t have the equipment. (PotC: DMC, guessed by xzombiexkittenx)

Which is almost disturbingly exactly like something I would write myself :D

When you see this, quote Shakespeare in your livejournal.

Thou canst not say I did it.  Never shake thy gory locks at me.


There.  Done.  *shakes fist at peer pressure, and grins*

Snitched from shrieking_ell

I'll write a drabble or ficlet for the first five people to comment with a pairing or character and an image to be used as a prompt - you can either link to the image or use the image tag (< img src="url.of.the.image.goes.here" >) to post the image directly into your comment. The image can be anything, except it cannot have an obvious relationship to the source text (in other words, no stills or pictures of the characters or actors).

1. Preferred fandom PotC, crossovers welcome.
2. Don't count on the result to be in any way sane, though it is possible.
3. Deadlines and me... do not mix.  Poke me if I take too long.
4. Please propogate the pretty meme.
