Badfic meme and squee!

eponymous_roseI'm just gonna. Yes. There is a reason I went around all day with a stare even blanker than my usual vacant fare, and that is because, through some fluke of neurons firing and and who knows what else, I've managed to get the top mark in the class for the Computational Physics midterm. He wrote "outstanding" on my paper and everything! This continues to freak me out.
And it's time for the badfic meme! Because it's hilarious!
The Badfic Meme
The thing is, when people look for stories, they always make it sound like badfic. Now, often that's because it really is badfic, but sometimes it's good and they just suck at describing the story.
So, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to summarize badly any one (or more!) of my stories and I'll try to guess which it is. You could even pretend you don't remember the pairing or fandom to make it harder to guess.
This should be amusing, considering I went to check on a possible glaring mistake in "Argumentum Ad Metam" and had completely forgotten how it ended, so I had to read it again. Someday I will actually remember the plot of something I've written! Someday! :D
And! Bonus!

Reply to this post (or to the previous meme, whatever), and I will list three things I love about you. Maybe/Probably more than three. Then repost to your own journal and spread the love.

Date: 2008-02-27 09:43 pm (UTC)How do I count the waaays?
1. You love Ian/Barbara. It was your enthusiasm that encouraged me to actually go back to sitting through "The Daleks", at which point I was utterly and hopelessly hooked. Hooray!
2. You introduced me to The Dresden Files. I know it's a slow, simmering obsession so far (very slow), but it'll take off as soon as I finish the book/get into the TV show. You mark my words! :D
3. You take care of horses! I adore animals, but as a kid I never really got the chance to be around horses (I didn't find out until much later that my Mom used to ride all the time, but broke her arm pretty badly in a riding accident and so wasn't to keen on her accident-prone kids going riding). Now that I'm all grown-up (hah), I've had the chance to spend some time around horses, and I would love to learn to ride someday. SO THERE YOU GO - ultra-rambly response. Yay horses!

Date: 2008-02-27 10:01 pm (UTC)...maybe I should be the one posting fic requests! "Hey, anyone remember a fic I wrote? Had lots of random poetry and adjectives? And, um. People dying and some characters I can't remember?"
r/r OR ELSE!!!!!! *shakes fist*

Deeelayed response, because I am slow.
Date: 2008-03-10 05:06 am (UTC)2. I love your Doctor Who thoughts and reviews! Enthusiasm is always a good thing. And Jo/Three squeeage! :D
3. You are nice and you are funny! These two things, in conjunction with your awesome fic-writing abilities, mean that you should take over the universe and rule it as a benevolent dictator. Yes.
Re: Deeelayed response, because I am slow.
Date: 2008-03-10 12:38 pm (UTC)And of course there'll be much, much more. I'm starting to get the rythm, I shouldn't miss any more day in March, and seeing my current obsession with Doctor Who, I think you should have a lot to look forward to :D
2. At least somenone's pleased about my current obsession :3 (Nobody told me, but I know most people reading my LJ are bored with all that classic!Who obsession XD)
(I just finished downloading The Green Death. WOE.)(Fortunately, I still have Carnival Of Monsters to watch.)(But still. WOOOOE.)
[EDIT - woops, forgot 3]
3.*___* thank youuu agaiin ♥♥♥ And hm, I'd love to be a benevolent ruler-of-the-universe, but I've never been very good at politics. And if I believe what Doctor Who taught me, I have many rivals. And they're NOT benevolent XD

2. YOUR ICONS. They are gorgeous and your use of colour makes me terribly jealous. Terribly. *plots to steal your talent*
3. John Simm love! Sharing the pretty is always, always a good thing.

L8 REPLY ONOEZ
Date: 2008-03-10 05:16 am (UTC)...oh. "Five Lives the Master Saved". That... makes sense. Actually.
Reasons You Are Awesome:
Uno: Witty writing - fic and otherwise. I appreciate conversation that makes me sporfle on a regular basis, and you never disappoint. Even on late-night AIMs! (Moohaha.)
Deux: You have studied Peter Pan in a terribly in-depth sort of way, and this makes you my hero.
Three: You share basically all of my opinions of fandom in general - anti-bashing, pro-Classic-and-New-Who, and so on and so forth. I like knowing I'm not the only crazy one about. :D

No, I really can't. Sorry.
Lovin' meme sounds fun! :D
Late Reply! Slowly catching up on comments...
Date: 2008-03-10 05:18 am (UTC)2. Who fandom/enthusiasm! I love reading your reactions to various Old and New School episodes. Yay!
3. You are an extremely cheerful person, which makes me feel less weird about being the same way. ;)

Date: 2008-02-28 07:02 am (UTC)Delayed reply! Permit me to pester you in your writing mayhem!
Date: 2008-03-10 05:28 am (UTC)(I don't remember the ending at the moment, either. Oh, dear.)
Awesome things about you:
1. Your fanfic. I cannot say enough awesome things about your writing, and I never get around to leaving comments, because I am evil. I love your takes on the characters and the complexities of their interactions.
2. Music and math geekery. Need I say more?
3. You have RUINED SOMEBODY'S CHILDHOOD. That is usually a good sign you're doing something right. :D
(BONUS: I can bring up obscure Who-related stuff and you will probably know what I'm talking about better than I do. Hooray!)
Re: Delayed reply! Permit me to pester you in your writing mayhem!
Date: 2008-03-10 01:42 pm (UTC)Aww! *glomps you* I feel all warm and fuzzy now. Must remember to do something like this for my beta-ees midway through the week, because it's a great pick-me-up. You have excellent timing!
And, yes. I am especially proud of #3. *puffs out chest*
edited for truly unique spelling. "Warm" + "damn" = new Sniglet?

Date: 2008-02-28 08:48 pm (UTC)And a badfic summary:
There's some killer flowers and eggs and light and the Doctor has two companions, or is it three? No, perhaps it was four.
Late reply - sorry about that!
Date: 2008-03-10 05:35 am (UTC)*ponders* "Le quattro stagioni" has an eggbeater in it! Possibly that one?
*loses at guessing games*
Fandom love meme!
1. You write such thoughtful and kind reviews! They never fail to make me smile.
2. Assorted random stuff in common! I'm looking forward to commenting more on your journal once all this ficathon-related madness dies down, and then I think we might discover that we're long-lost twins or something. ;)
3. I had something more coherent to say, but: that pink Dalek icon. I adore it. So much.
(Plus - you're one of the people who keeps
Re: Late reply - sorry about that!
Date: 2008-03-10 03:22 pm (UTC)1. Thank you! I try.
2. That sounds good to me! Why are all the good ficathons on at the same time?
3. Hee. I am going to get it put on a t-shirt for Eastercon.
You help keep soniclipstick going too, filling in for people when they're away.
