The list

[apocalypsos]

Wheeeeeeee! I love making these lists. The possibilities that come out are freakin' hysterical.

Okay, for those who weren't on the friends list for the last one, here's the way it works. I picked a whole bunch of character names from fandoms you'll probably know and love out of a hat, and whoever ended up together, that's who made the list. The only rule was that they couldn't share the same fandom, which is why I had to re-do Westley and Buttercup (yes, I actually picked them as a pairing -- now that's true love) and Obi-Wan and Chewbacca (theirloveissoohmygodmyeyestheyburn).

So here's what you do. You call dibs on a pairing. There's no time limit on when you get the story done, but it must feature the pairing in a loving relationship. (The only exception? That last pairing. Dude, that one's so funny everyone who wants to gets a shot. ;)) Serious or silly, it's your call, just as long as it's entertaining.

I call:

39. Farmer Ted (16 Candles)/Dory (Finding Nemo)

Oh, oh, oh. How cute.

[dustbunnygirl.livejournal.com]

Can't decide who to claim yet, (leaning toward 76. Batman/Chiana. Really leaning toward Batman/Chiana. Ah hell, I'll take Batman/Chiana...)

But just had to say, can't wait to see how #92 turns out. Because I think Rogue, in any incarnation, would off Cassandra in about two seconds after meeting her, just to spare her ears the phony, alternating accent. Cuz MovieRogue got to suffer that enough from Halle Berry in the first X-men Movie.

[paradoxymoron.livejournal.com]

not that I'd pick it, but I want to read the Giles/Mulder. Something dark, smoldering, British, and committed when Rupert was a younger lad. >_>


And the Yubari/Dumbledore.
HOT.

[ardath_rekha]

Oh shit! Dibs on #87! Indiana Jones and Cordy!!! I must have it, LOL!

[deathpixie]

This is what being hopelessly bored at work will to do to you...

I'll take 45. Mystique/Xander.

*grins*

[echoingvista.livejournal.com]

Tis very random that I found this. But happy am I that I did.

Hence, I am claiming Mulder/Giles. Cause that's just hot.

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

*Giggles* I might just have to play with the Clark Kent/Piper Halliwell pairing.:D Is this the SV version or the adult version?

[apillarofsalt.livejournal.com]

Ooh. Can I have Methos/Darla?

And I'll be giggling over #95 for days.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Either one works for me. ;)

[andraste]

I read that one and thought 'you know, this is exactly the kind of thing that does happen to Xander. Demons, blue shapeshifters ...' I'm so glad someone is actually going to write it *g*.

*shoves the plot bunny back in your direction*

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

Okay, I just got bit by this plot bunny, and I'm also claiming Husk / Peter Parker. Unfortunately, that one looks liek a random angst bunny.

Cait

Re: *shoves the plot bunny back in your direction*

[paradoxymoron.livejournal.com]

ooooooooooooooooooooooo!
You're writing Giles/Mulder???
*puppydog eyes*

Really????

[contrariwise.livejournal.com]

Ooh. Can I have #5, Snape/Grissom?

Re: *shoves the plot bunny back in your direction*

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

If they quit making eyes at each other and give me a plot, yet.

Which I think they are thinking about.

Oh HELL.

Cait *beats off plotbunnies with a stick*

Re: *shoves the plot bunny back in your direction*

[paradoxymoron.livejournal.com]

bwahahahaaaa
*gives plotbunnies viagra-laced carrots*

[florahart]

Can *anyone*, such as for instance, me, who found you by way of stella there ^^^ and doesn't know you (yet...), participate?

[mayatawi.livejournal.com]

Ooh hell yes. Lex/Tara is making my brain melt. I wish I could write it. Perhaps I will, though I don't know enough about SV....

And Aeryn would whip Neo's pansy ass.

[mayatawi.livejournal.com]

p.s. Do you have a list of the results from the first go-round, perchance?

Am currently considering:

Lex/Tara (guh)
Bill Weasley/Pippin
Ryan/Chaucer (GUH)
Ron/Joe Dawson
Xena/Willow
Anya/Hermione
Aragorn/Iolaus (it's so perfect!)

Clearly my brain doesn't have ENOUGH to do. Hey, brain-- midterm, research paper, short story, problem set. Remember those? All due Monday? Dammit.

...I'm taking my issues and leaving now.

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

I'd like to participate, but I'm having trouble finding a pairing that features two characters and two fandoms I actually know of, and which is not slash, as I could not write slash if my life depended upon it. I don't know how.

First, the list of pairings featuring two people/fandoms I recognize:

1. Haldir/Inigo Montoya
2. Luke Skywalker/Buttercup (Princess Bride)
18. Cole (Charmed)/Drusilla
30. Gandalf/Remus Lupin
40. Lilah (Angel)/Dr. Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap)
42. Arwen/Faith
50. Rachel (Friends)/Captain Kirk
52. Westley (Princess Bride)/Harry Potter
57. Methos/Darla (Angel)
64. Bill Weasley/Pippin
69. Ron Weasley/Joe Dawson
70. Sarah Conner/Spock
77. Xena/Willow Rosenberg
82. Samwise/Wonder Woman
83. Sirius Black/Charles Gunn
84. Oz (Buffy)/Galadriel
87. Indiana Jones/Cordelia Chase
89. Anya (Buffy)/Hermione Granger
94. Joey (Friends)/Chewbacca

After eliminating all slash and femslash pairings, and all pairings based on movies or shows that I have seen but which I haven't kept up with, I come up with the following short list:

18. Cole (Charmed)/Drusilla
40. Lilah (Angel)/Dr. Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap)
57. Methos/Darla (Angel)
84. Oz (Buffy)/Galadriel

I believe someone has already claimed #57. I could probably do #18 or #40, if no one has picked either one yet. Has anyone picked either?

[runcible.livejournal.com]

31. Austin Powers/Chandler Bing
I SO CALL THAT.
I love you, TP. I mean, like wedding bands and marriage love. :-*

[anxietygrrl.livejournal.com]

Hee. Just reading this list cheered me substantially.

"How you doin'?"

"AaaAAOOOooooouugghh!"

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Sure, it's all yours. :)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely. Just tell me where the story is when you're done so I can link to it. :)

Why? Which one are you picking? *curious*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

As far as I know, they haven't. Actually, I'd love to see someone write #18. Now, there's another pairing that just seems to fit.

*blushes*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Aw, shucks ... and also, *dies laughing*.
