( Memeage! )

As always, thanks to everyone who wandered by to read and/or comment this year. I love having you all around and chatting to you. It's been almost ten years of this journal (I think in March? Or May?) and you all have really brought wonderful things to my life over the years.

Since my flash drive crash, I've been trying to rebuild some of the character development stuff I lost, and I'm going to post it for sake of insurance.

These are all the character memes combined together, for Steve Rogers, and Nora Rogers, from the Super Kids 'verse joonscribble and I have going on.

( Nora Rogers )

I had this done before the Great Flash Drive Crash of 2015, but I lost it then. Which is actually not terrible, because I can recreate it with new canon that fits better!

( Howard Stark is super excited about the wedding of Ana [Maiden Name] and Edwin Jarvis, and thinks you should be, too. )

Happy Almost New Year! A huge, ginormous thank you to everyone who reads, comments, takes a glance at, or just hangs out silently around my journal, I love you all, and I’m so delighted that you take time to put up with the strange things that come from my head.

( Memeage! )

Sorry for the lack of posts, lately. Everything I'm trying to write lately is quite long, and I'm having that problem where I'm bouncing around stories. Which means it's time for memeage!

Give me the name of a character I write or have written and I'll tell you:
- What they are like when they're drunk
- If they have any tattoos/scars/birthmarks
- What frivolous thing makes them really happy
- What stupid thing makes them really annoyed
- Special skills (languages they speak, instruments they play, etc)
- Prized possession(s)
- Medical conditions (allergies, injuries, chronic complaints, etc.)
- Comfort food/activity/object

OCS and AUs welcome, as always. Feel free to ask for a couple of characters.

Previously I have done Q, Sherlock, and Mycroft Holmes, Bruce Banner and Nemi, Tony Stark and Demira, Alec Thornton, John Watson (Abby!verse), Harry Dresden, Sarah Sawyer, Abby Watson, and Edwin Jarvis and Haddie.

Putting this here to make it easier to respond from my iPad if necessary:

<b>What they are like when they're drunk:</b> <b>Tattoos/scars/birthmarks:</b> <b>Frivolous thing that makes them really happy:</b> <b>Stupid thing that makes them really annoyed:</b> <b>Special skills:</b> <b>Prized possession(s):</b> <b>Medical conditions</b> <b>Comfort food/activity/object:</b>

Okay, I'm done now. Probably.

Shippy Meme Part 2 for Angie and Bond.

( James Bond + Angie Martinelli )

Seems like a while since I did an audience participation meme, so I'll revive one of my faves. I've done a lot of characters for this one in the past, but I think I've added newer characters to repertoire, so hopefully you can find one you'd like to hear about!

Give me the name of a character I write or have written and I'll tell you:
-What they smell like
-How they sleep (sleeping position, schedule, etc)
-What music they enjoy
-How much time they spend getting ready every morning
-Their favourite thing to collect
-Their family (siblings, parents, extended, etc.)
-A weird/obscure fear they have
-A secret skill

OCS and AUs welcome, as always. Feel free to ask for a couple of characters.

Putting this here to make it easier to respond from my iPad if necessary:

<b>What they smell like:</b> <b>How they sleep:</b> <b>What music they enjoy:</b> <b>How much time they spend getting ready every morning:</b> <b>Their favourite thing to collect:</b> <b>Their family:</b> <b>A weird/obscure fear they have:</b> <b>A secret skill:</b>

In the past I have done: Anderson, Mummy Holmes, Arthur Shappey, Kevin Ryan, Molly Hooper, Sarah Sawyer, Abby Watson, Mycroft Holmes, Q, Sherlock Holmes, Tony Stark (and Demira), John Watson (Abby verse), Alec Thornton, Siger Holmes, and Steve Rogers (and Issie).

My brain is jumping for story to story again, so time for some memeage to get it to chill.

Character Questions Meme

1. Go here to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 100.

2. Choose a character that I write or have written, be it a canon person, an OC or whatever. Feel free to pick a character that was used before, as the questions will most likely be different this time around.

3. Comment with the character and the numbers, and then I will answer the corresponding questions from here

OCS and AU versions of characters are welcome. If daemons are requested, I'll figure something out.

I think I now write enough couples for this to be play-alongable, and this meme intrigued me, so:

Give me a couple/ship that I write or have written (or created or whatever) and I'll tell you:

How differently do they think of each other now compared to when they first met?
Where was their first date?
What do their friends/family think of their relationship?
How do their personalities/skills complement or contrast with each other?
What is their favorite aspect of each other?
Do either of them have pet peeves about each other?
How would each reconcile with each other after a fight?
What would be their ideal vacation getaway together?

OCs and AUs and all that jazz are cool.

As I mentioned recently, the plot bunnies are running wild, so it seemed like a good time to do this meme again:

Post a fragment from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick).

Unedited, please don't judge. Contents may be subject to change.
