PAIRING MEME: "Give me a pairing and I'll answer these questions for them"

Who cooks normally?
How often do they fight?
What do they do when they’re away from each other?
Nicknames for each other?
Who is more likely to pay for dinner?
Who steals the covers at night?
What would they get each other for gifts?
Who kissed who first?
Who made the first move?
Who remembers things?
Who started the relationship?
Who cusses more?
What would they do if the other one was hurt?

Because I really can't do a simple meme without going deep into meta territory with multiple images for each question, I'll be posting my answer throughout the week. Because just those 2 questions took me FOREVER.

Come on, y'all. You KNOW you wanna chip in to see animated versions of Ba'al (Cliff Simon), the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker), and Commander Ivanova (Claudia Christian) confront Davros (Terry Malloy) in a reboot of ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US, the great-grandmother of all Internet memes.

[Originally posted by

talcMedia describes ALL YOUR BASE as "A monumental stupendous animated comedy parody mock trailer state of the art flat-two-dimensional animated short film in full Technicolor® and, even, Original Soundtrack!", which neatly encapsulates their off-the-wall sense of humour. Then again, since the thing exists down to Colin and Lizzie overacting, perhaps that's not such a surprise.

Yes, it's bonkers nonsense, but D:I6 is very serious and won't get off the ground unless AYB does. It's a bit of geeky fun, using one of the oldest memes around. If you don't know, "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" comes from the European Sega Mega Drive version of Zero Wing. The original Japanese was poorly translated with hysterical results. People pasted quotes on screencaps, posted them on the internet, and a cult meme was born.

For more information on AYB, visit the website or the Kickstarter page.

What style of narration do you usually write in?

3rd PPoV limited: 18 stories
1st PPoV singular: 11 stories
3rd PPoV omniscient: 2 stories (both are crack)
script format: 2 (both crack)
2nd PPoV: 1 recipe (crack)
1st PPoV plural: 0

FYI: 5 fanworks included above are in VERSE. bwahahaha

Which do you prefer to read?

Whichever style suits the story best. :D

Are certain styles superior to others? Why or why not?

First person singular 99% of my email, blog posts, and Tweets are written in 1st PPoV, so it's a natural style for my writing. I love the immediacy of emotion, the behind-the-eyes point of view when I read something done well in this PoV. Narrating action in this PoV is a challenge, and I love when an author handles action sequences seamlessly in this style. However, I HATE when this style is exploited for monotonous introspection AKA navel-gazing. UGH. fap fap fap
first person plural We must stop procrastinating, Our Beloved, and write Hathor fic.
second person singular You know you wanna dooooooo eeeeeeeeet!
third person limited campy sure needs to stop using this style as the easy default for achieving a fic deadline.
third person omniscient campy & shakespherical use this style for crack & badfic because that's how they roll.

This meme was designed by

pristineungift based upon the chapters of the book How Fiction Works by James Wood, as a gift to

pristineungift , who enjoys Writing Memes. It is meant to aid writers, both of fanfiction and original material, in understanding their writing process through exploring different techniques and styles of writing. This is roughly the first half of the book. If this meme is popular, another will be created using the second half of the book.

So, campylobacter , your LiveJournal reveals…

You are… 0% unique, 16% peculiar, 50% interesting, 21% normal and 13% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy science fiction). When it comes to friends you are popular. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are keen to please. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is conventional.

Your overall weirdness is: 22

(The average level of weirdness is: 28.
You are weirder than 50% of other LJers.)

Find out what your weirdness level is!

Guess I'd better stop ReTweeting and Reblogging content if I wanna be unique! ;D

fawkesielady_ed came up with a fun SGA/SG-1 meme. Put your music list on shuffle and use the song title to answer the question(s). Be sure to add a new question at the end!

I stole this from

shakespherical who added the Vala question. Her shuffle gave her cool answers! I added Teal'c. I got really random answers. :(

According to iTunes, I have 2275 songs (includes audio book chapters, podcasts, sound fx, show quote clips) that weigh 8.21 GB for 5.6 days of solid sound. This meme is the perfect example of why I never put iTunes on Shuffle.

"Denn alles Fleisch es ist wie Gras" from Brahms's Ein Deutsches Requiem.

Denn alles Fleisch, es ist wie Gras
und alle Herrlichkeit des Menschen
wie des Grases Blumen.
Das Gras ist verdorret
und die Blume abgefallen.

For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man
as the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower thereof falleth away.

shakespherical gave me yellow when she posted her color meme.

magnavox_23 F-locked her yellow, probably because she waxes rhapsodic about Nuttelex. And bananas. :-D

hummingfly67 also F-locked her black, which is the ass-kicking-est color ever, and gave us a double-dose of Claudia.

Comment, and I'll give you a colour
- Post ten things of that colour that you like
- Sharing is encouraged, even preferred.

1. pineapple-flavored gummi bears

From the Daniel/Vala March Month of Love Meme:

#14: If Brad Wright let you pen 15 seconds of dialogue for Stargate Revolution (the 3rd movie) to explain Vala's absence, what would it be?

JACK: (looking at a photo in Daniel's wallet) The kid's lucky he looks like his mom.

DANIEL: Jaaack... (snatches wallet back)

SAM: When's the next little one due?

DANIEL: Um, five months, two weeks.

SAM: (calculating the time effortlessly) Daniel! Those kids'll be less than ten months apart in age! You're supposed to wait six weeks before...

DANIEL: (turns red)
