pink bows and the apocalypse

Here are the (very belated) results of the meme from my last entry where I asked people to posit scenarios with an unknown group of characters. I can now reveal the list:

1. Stringer Bell (the Wire)
2. Veronica Mars
3. Castiel (SPN)
4. Zoe (Firefly)
5. The Old Spice Man
6. Peggy (Mad Men)
7. Olive (Pushing Daisies)
8. Mark Zuckerburg (The Social Network)
9. Emerson (Pushing Daisies)
10. Troy (Community)
11. Katniss (Hunger Games)
12. Gus (Psych)
13. Brad Colbert (Generation Kill)
14. Leslie Knope (Parks and Recreation)
15. Omar Little (The Wire)

( and the answers )

I also did the Ao3 hitcount meme:

1. Meta Yuletide Fic - OSM (5126 hits)
2. Honey Pie - Telephone/Psuhing Daisies (761 hits)
3. Bordellos, Brothels and Berries, Oh My! - Pushing Daisies (447 hits)
4. It's Just the Way the Game is Played - The Wire (444 hits)
5. Just Moments - Mad Men (438 hits)
6. Those That Be Not What They Seem - Leverage/Othello (394 hits)
7. All My Wires Without Traces - Submachine (388 hits)
8. Today's Just a Day Like the Day that He Started - The Wire (280 hits)
9. Fine Dining in Baltimore - The Wire (247 hits)
10. The Rules of Roles - Entourage (235 hits)

( and now a bit of discussion about the results (including graphs!) )

I finally finally organized all of my gdocs into something resembling order. I am celebrating my new wip label by doing that WIP meme that has been floating around:

Comment with the name of one of these and I will post a sentence from one of my WIPs. Caveat, some of these are chatfics I saved in order to clean up.
( oldest to newest )
There are also three fics in progress for Purim Gifts, but those are still secret.

Also:

Music memes are my favorite memes, for you get new music from others, and get to share songs you enjoy with others. win win.

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List and upload 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

(i am uploading 10, because i know my tastes don't always match up with my flists. this way, i hope people will find at least one they enjoy.)

i was assigned the letter 'g' by moontyger

1. "Galvanize the Empire"- is a mash-up by Party Ben that is a must for any Star Wars fans. alternatively, "Graceland"- Paul Simon

2. "Glory"- from 'Pippin,' for the broadway fans. If that isn't you style, try Kanye's "The Glory"

3. "Gliding", from 'Ragtime' is such a pretty song, (for the uninitiated, even though the musical is called 'Ragtime,' not all the songs are in that style.) Or you can rap along with the Beastie Boys for "Girls." Don't front, you know you know all the words.

4. "Go Go Gadget Go", from the gentleman in my icon, one Lupe Fiasco, is fun and fast and proves he can incorporate just about anything into his lyrics, including DailyKos. Still sticking with Chicago muscians, empires' "Gift of Asylum" is great, even if it wasn't on their album.

5. "God Give Me Strength" from Audra McDonald. She could sing the phonebook and I would listen happily. (Please don't judge her on her television work. she is so much better than the shows she is/has been on.) Or you could shamelessly dance along to Cobra Starship's "Guilty Pleasure."
