Another time-waster, because I'm bored out of my goodamn mind, stuck at work, and wishing I could go home --

What would you do and who would you be if you were a part of the world(s) or your favorite fandom(s)? Not as if you were another made-up person, but as if it were you specifically, with all of the same faults and skills, living with and interacting with the characters from those worlds.

EDIT: And you don't get to know anything extra, not what'll happen in the future or any family secrets you're not supposed to know. You just know the same sort of crap you'd know with your best friends in the real world.

Ha! I'd never interact with them because of their famosity. :P

Best I'd hope for would be a scrubbingmaid or a valet. woo.

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

If I can't get a library job in Minas Tirith, I'd probably starve. Or I might make ends meet living and building with the Dwarves in the North...

Not many places for engineers in the Third Age of Arda.

Although... if I learned enough civil engineering, there's a whole kingdom to rebuild... Hmmmm.

10 Things To Do In Various Fandoms

1. Sleep with Charlie Eppes.

2. Be terrified of Snape. He's a great character, but I have a feeling I would be just like Neville.

3. Be fascinated with all of my other Hogwarts classes and get a flat on Diagon Alley when I graduate.

4. Discuss conspiracy theories with John Munch.

5. Live in Rivendell because omgsobeautiful.

6. Marry Frodo because omgsobeautiful.

7. Do volunteer work with Alan Eppes and listen to his stories about Don and Charlie when they were little.

8. Have coffee and talk about life with Samantha Black Crow, hopefully becoming friends with her.

9. Get a job at Aziraphale's bookshop.

10. Sleep with Charlie Eppes. I thought that bore repeating.

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

9: Buy a book. :P

[kleenexwoman.livejournal.com]

Askewniverse:
Tease Dante and Randall at the Quick Stop.
Ignore Jay yelling obscene things at me.
Buy comics from the mall.

Re-Animator:
Sit next to Herbert or Dan in a Psych class.

Back to the Future:
1955: Be the only girl in school who likes science fiction, be friends with George because of it, thus messing up the movie. Seriously. Not a Mary Sue.
1985: Not have been concieved yet.

[elessar.livejournal.com]

Star Wars: Hook up with Han Solo before he meets Leia, have a Lightsaber duel with a Sith warrior (preferably someone who wasn't a very GOOD warrior), hijack an X-Wing fighter

Harry Potter: Hex the hell out of the Slytherins :P, seduce one of the Gryffindors, preferably Harry or Ron

Lord of the Rings: Shoot a bow and arrow at some orcs, seduce Frodo and Legolas and Aragorn and Faramir, smoke and drink with the hobbits, toss Gimli.

I'd so get kicked out of every fandom :P

[silly-dan.livejournal.com]

Buffy -- My life is essentially identical, except I was briefly concerned about colleagues studying physics at UC Sunnydale when the earthquake hit (but they were all in Illinois at the time, so it worked out OK.) Also, I had a bit more free time Tuesday nights, the abandoned Hungarian restaurant on Bloor Street creeps me out even more, and one of my cousins abruptly moved to Cleveland for reasons she won't explain.

The Lord of the Rings -- Transferring a grad student's skills over to the closest equivalent in late Third Age Rohan, I'd be a clerk who never swung a sword or shook a spear until King Theoden took every man who could ride into Gondor. I probably died in the first charge at the Battle of Pelennor Fields, halfheartedly yelling "Death!" while thinking that the King's speech was really not much of a pep talk. "Ride for ruin and the world's end?" I would have thought just before an Orc arrow went through my head. "I thought that's what we're fighting against here."

[ladysorka]

Things I would do in my main fandoms:

- Have no friends at Hogwarts and scare Professor Snape by loving potions and asking if I can come in and play around in the lab during my free time.

- Hang out with Benton Fraser and alternately hit him over the head for being an idiot and beg for him Inuit stories and help in Canadian immigration.

- Be the clinic patient who tells Dr. House "You know, I kind of like you." and have him be greatly disturbed. Alternately, be the secretary that keeps spreading rumors about Dr. House and Dr. Wilson.

I &hearts that answer!

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's an excellent question.

Highlander -- a hapless mortal who meets Richie, and hopefully, have the sense to ask him out...and he'd probably say no.

Charmed -- one of Paige's charges and possibly a future whitelighter.

[sabotabby]

I'd last all of three seconds in any of my fandoms.

This is Wonderland: Lose my case because I distracted Alice by insisting that she and Nancy are meant for each other. End up in the Don Jail. I'm sure I'll end up there in real life one day, too.

Oz: Convert to Islam in a misguided attempt to woo Said. Cower in the library a lot. Death by staplegun.

Doctor Who: Try to take down an evil government. Nobly sacrificed.

Twin Peaks: Dead from coke.

Buffy: I'd be the pissed-off nerd wondering why the library is always closed.

Angel: I bet I wouldn't make it through the teaser.

[robyn-ma.livejournal.com]

'Oz: Convert to Islam in a misguided attempt to woo Said. Cower in the library a lot. Death by staplegun.'

Bwaahahahaha. :) I'd be a guard just so I could watch Toby and Chris make out. :) I seriously miss that show a whole lot.

[dawning-star.livejournal.com]

In my fandoms:

Star Trek: I might make it through Starfleet Academy and if I were damned lucky, be posted to a ship. But, with my luck, it would be a freighter.

Harry Potter: I'd be a more tolerable version of Hermione. Yes, my head would be buried in a book, but I wouldn't harass other people to study. And I'd find a way to hex Snape and get away with it.

The Lord of the Rings: An intellectual, unmarried woman in that type of era would generate a few raised eyebrows. I suppose I could work as an archivist in either Minas Tirith or Rivendell. Assuming I could do so without murdering Denethor or Elrond respectively.

[the-jackalope.livejournal.com]

I'd go to Oz, the Land of Oz, not from the movie, and don't even get me started on the abomination that is the Oz of Wicked. Frank L Baum's Oz, and I'd just explore, cause it is so full of wonderous little hideaways. I've wanted to go since I was seven, and really hasn't changed much.

Alternativly, I'd be a Hobbit, I can pick a race right? Or is that against the rules.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

Lost: Assuming I was on the plane, I'd probably have a panic attack. Assuming I did not die (or was not killed due to said panic attack), I'd then proceed to stick to a small handfull of other castaways like glue. Hurley and Sun especially, because a) I'm a geek and Hurley'd probably not turn away someone who wanted to talk about music and TV and goof around on his golf course to stay sane, and b) Sun is hot. Yeah, I'm shallow. Pretty asian girls for teh win!

Fullmetal Alchemist: (Been marathoning the series this week, so it gets included hyar.) I'd probably be a writer or a librarian or something. Very interested in automail, though terrified of the prospect of ever getting it, because OW OW OW. Not so big on the military, because while their uniforms are very sexy, it's lead by a Fuhrer. FUHRER. (Though I maintain that "my Fury" is the coolest way to refer to your respective leader ever, and damn Hitler for ruining it.)

Law & Order: If I ever showed up, it'd probably be as a corpse. Big City Livin' would kill me dead. If it didn't, though, maybe a counselling job for the Special Victims Unit.. I'm very interested in psych, and SVU is my favourite series, so.. voila. (I'd probably also quietly lust after Dr. Huang because B. D. Wong is the most adorable man on the planet, and also Olivia, because.. well.. OLIVIA.)

[catystorm.livejournal.com]

We match! :D

[tv-elf.livejournal.com]

Star Trek: I'd probably end up working for the Orion Syndicate because Star Fleet gives me the blehs.

Stagate: I'd probably be an Army transfer in community relations, and be well-known as a stalker of Teal'c.

Lost: Unlike Locke, I wouldn't be able to keep myself from regularly pointing out the unused electric wheelchair. Many would assume I was some crip fancier.

Dragonlance: I am such a kender, there is no other choice.

[lots42.livejournal.com]

Unused. They used the damned thing to transport wood.

And Orion Syndicate instead of Starfleet? I'd rather have a bookstore on DS9. It'd work, Picard would be a loyal customer.

Then the store would be blown up by Bajoran fundies.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Ghost in the Shell: What I thought I'd do was, I'd become one of those deaf mutes.

[miladygrey.livejournal.com]

*sighs happily, plans*

Middle-Earth--I'd be a librarian in Minas Tirith with silmaril, probably with a shy lingering crush on Faramir. Would spend the entire siege of Minas Tirith making plans to protect the books and practicing abortive attacks with torches in case the orcs get in.

Firefly--I would attach myself to Malcolm Reynolds in some way. If nothing else, I would present myself as a spunky girl who needs rescuing, which would hit his chivalry button. After that, he's mine. Sorry, Inara.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer--I would be Willow's assistant research person and fellow nerd. I would also have been dating Graham from "The Initiative" onward.

Alias--Oh, Sark would have killed me by now. But I'd have died happy.

Lost--I'd be starting the Island Lending Library with Sawyer, and staunchly supporting Doctor Hero Jack despite his occasional bouts of idiocy. And planning to poison Shannon.

Law and Order:SVU--The sarcastic librarian whose good memory helps the SVU crack a case. And who flirted with Munch, Fin, and Stabler, because she could.

House--I'd be the patient who snarked right back at him. A date is probably out of the question, or a ride in his Mob-donated sexy car, but I can dream...

[lots42.livejournal.com]

Sawyer wouldn't lend out his books unless half the cast did a naked conga line for him.

[catystorm.livejournal.com]

Wolf's Rain: I would wander around obliviously and not realize that the world was ending. Until, hey, it did. I'd probably see some wolves and be: "PUPPIES!"

Lost: Assuming I survive the crash, I'd probably find a knot of people and stick with them, because my survival skills barely equals roasting a hot dog. Once I get used to the island a bit I'd probably poke around a hella lot. Because I'm curious like that.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Ten to one I'd blow myself up. Seriously. I'm knee-deep in alchemy books now, imagine if I was knee-deep in alchemy books with the ability to actually do something with it. o.O The Gate is not my friend. Also, not a fan of the military but research money for alchemy = good. Because I like suck and would probably have no money like I do IRL. I would so whore myself out to the military for research money and leads on the Philosopher's Stone.

I am so still not wearing my costume right now. Really. Shut up. I am not a huge geek.

[lots42.livejournal.com]

Someone needs to poke around. No less then two people know about the giant wire leading into the ocean...

[prairiedaun.livejournal.com]

LotR Stablehand/farm girl in Rohan. I'd probably be bored a lot of the time, but happy in general.

Lost If I had survived the initial crash, I'd probably spend as much time staying away from Shannon, and trying to get Charlie's attention. I'd then be eaten by the monster.

Black Hawk Down Seeing as how there really aren't any girls here, I'd probably be the niece or sister of a soldier.

Wimbledon Fan clamoring for Dieter Prohl's autograph.

King Arthur Barmaid in the tavern, or lowly Roman servant.

Buffy Anthro/Linguistics student at UC Sunnydale rolling my eyes at the "wiccan" gathering, then rolling my eyes at many other students in class. Probably get attacked by a demon while studying Native American artifacts late one night (or the ghosts of some ancestors...) and then rescued by the Scoobies. Be thankful, and then roll my eyes some more. (I'm an eyeroller, I can't help it.)

[lil1pinay.livejournal.com]

Fabulous question!

LOTR: I'd be chillin' with the hobbits, as we are the same size even if we're not of the same race but that's okay because I'm not racist like that Sauron guy. Merry, Pippin and I would form this gang of three that would sit around smoking the Longbottom Leaf all day (because we only smoke the best chronic in the Shire) and eating a lot. Especially mushrooms, because they're delicious!

LOST: I'd hang with Hurley. My closest guy friends are Hurley-like, in appearance and personality, so I don't see any reason why we wouldn't hit it off right away. Except for the occasional "I cannot believe she's wearing that again, this is the third day in a row she's worn that shirt!" comment, I'd be useless on the island. Kind of like Kate in a way, but less with the meddling.

Alias: I'd just be the analyst in the corner, trying my best to stop crushing on Vaughn as well as making sure I get all the work that has to do with Sark. Because he is hot.

Harry Potter: Harry and Ron wouldn't be the only ones that Hermione would be nagging to get to the studying. I am just as lazy as they are about work. We'd plot against Malfoy and the Slytherins. I will secretly crush on Seamus.. his accent wins!

House: I'm the lab aide that you never see, processing the blood, setting up the centrifuge, running the gels and titrations. House would be kind of intimidating, I think, but I would secretly crush on him. That's what I do best.. crush in secret.

24: Probably die within the first few hours because I have no survival skills whatsoever. If I'm lucky, the last thing I'd see is Jack trying to save me.

The OC: I'd replace Anna as Seth's geeky chick friend that likes comic books and video games. Again with the secret crush, because everyone knows he's got it bad for Summer. I'd angst for the rest of my high school days.

Er, that's it for now. I watch too much TV. O_o

[lots42.livejournal.com]

You'd be useless...until Locke wants you to be something else. Then you'd be Super Powerful Person.

(That's my theory, that people are whatever Locke wants them to be. That's why Boone fell in love with Mount Baldy)

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

Well, since Catystorm and Luckycat_r already made a story about what we'd all do in FMA, for my favorite fandom...

ZOIDS: I'd pilot! Okay, maybe not spectaularly, but I'd just love to be part of it. I wish I could get paid for blowing things up. If I happened to be in the war, well... I'd run and hide? >.>;

And pilot.

[backfromspace.livejournal.com]

Buffy: I'd have hit on Xander in his yearbook back in sophomore year. He wouldn't have noticed.

Firefly: I'm at college on a Core world and never, ever meet any of the characters. TOTALLY AWESOME.

Lost: I've only seen the first episode, but I'm the guy who sat calmly through the entire crash thinking "Well, panicking will hardly help," then totally flips out as soon as we hit the beach. Later, I screw up first aid in some minor way.

X-Men: If I have a power, it's something not particularly powerful but without any direct bad side, like the ability to understand all languages or go for months without food or water. I spend my time alternating between being glad I'm not in any direct danger and don't have operatic adventures and being really, really jealous of the people who do.

Star Trek: I wasn't ambitious enough to get into Starfleet Academy, so I major in art some other school. I'll join the Space Peace Corps and help rebuild Cardassia or some hippie crap like that, then spend some time bumming around the Alpha Quadrant.

Star Wars: I live in FEAR. One day, I suffer random brutality and die.

[drewbeartx.livejournal.com]

Lost: Assuming I survived the crash (natch), I'd slowly go insane from a combination of lack of medication and sleep deprivation. I doubt I'd take anyone with me (since Locke is far too smart to let me near the knives), but I'd probably wander off into the jungle in a fit of "I just don't care anymore" and get eaten.

X-Men (pre-"secondary mutation" crap): Hang around Xavier's, thinking that it's just SO COOL!! And probably be bugging the crap out of Hank by wanting to help him.

Buffy: Have done my damnedest to drag Xander & Willow out of Sunnydale when the weirdness started getting thick, thereby screwing the canon timeline over but major. Sorry, but the safety of friends trumps heroics.

[trishalynn.livejournal.com]

Lost: Also assuming I wasn't sucked out with Rose's husband, I'd be in the beach group because my daddy taught me how to fish (but not how to clean them) and I'd be cooking up a storm on the beach. I'd also have figured out some primitive way to extract salt from the sea (all I need is a bowl, really) so I can have salted, fried fish. And I'd be the chef on the the beach and protect what cooking implements I'd scrounged from Sawyer. And I would have eventually hit on Boone, Charlie, Sawyer and Jack, and geeked out with Hurley (if he's a comics geek like I hope he is).

24: In this season, I'd have been one of the folks who was not so quietly panicking and streaming for the border that's the furthest away from the San Onofree nuclear power plant, had I still been living in Cali. Out here on the East Coast, I'd have been doing the same thing with whatever nuclear power plant's the closest.

1990s X-Men: I want to say I'd be one of the kids the new Xavier School for Gifted kids once it was integrated with non-mutants. But I really hated that storyline, so I think I'd be one of the random reporters who shows up at every mutant-related press conference and writes it up for the webzine group I'm a part of.

[ex-zombieham605.livejournal.com]

Star Wars - If I had force abilities, I'd enroll in the Jedi Academy and sort of resent Jacen and Jaina for being the center of attention all the damn time. Eventually I'd move to Dathomir and get eaten by rancors.

Star Trek - Doing something vaguely interesting on DS9 or Bajor, maybe teaching.

Stargate SG-1 - The army wouldn't even consider someone like me, I have issues with being ordered around. So... being a civilian.

LotR - Stablehand who crossdresses in order to go into battle. I don't last long.

Harry Potter - Herbology nut, probably a Hufflepuff, maybe with friends in other houses.

DC Comics - Living in fear in Gotham City, but trying to make the best of it. Eventually helping out at Leslie's clinic I meet Batman and take up field medicine. During No Man's Land I'm all about making rooftop gardens.

[opportunemoment.livejournal.com]

This is way too much fun for this time in the morning :D

Harry Potter: I resist sorting. I'd probably be the stupidest ravenclaw, laziest hufflepuff, cowardliest gryffindor or nicest slytherin. And then spend most of my time running back to the common room because I'd forgotten something. Might, in fact, be quite good friends with Neville.

Buffy: Probably be victim of the week and end up chopped up into little bits and fed to a demon. Or, I could be fast friends with Jonathan and Andrew, though I hate Warren and would snitch on him to Willow or Xander if I could get up the courage to talk to them.

LOTR: I'm a hobbit. I drink beer and keep pigs and am very, very jealous of Rosie Cotton.

Good Omens: I'm a comedy footnote.

Sandman: I visit the Dreaming and talk to Eve and Merv Pumpkinhead but I don't remember in the morning.

Discworld: I live in the nice bit of Ankh-Morpork and am at school at the Guild of Alchemists because they have a good curriculum, though I don't intend to remain in the proffession. I haven't been blown up, yet.

Firefly: I'm a law-abiding core planet citizen who gets accidentally kidnapped and taken hostage by Mal. I'm comforted by Inara and Kaylee and Wash and have many of the good lines of that episode, turn out to be somebody important (but nice)'s daughter and get dropped on the next core planet and taken home. Cause one of these had to be exciting :).

[phoebesmum.livejournal.com]

They'd be far to busy and beautiful and glamorous to be arsed with the likes of me!

If I existed in the world of Sports Night, I suppose I could work in a bookshop that Danny frequented and be his favourite helpful bookselling lady. Else I'd have to settle for being a secretary somewhere in the building. I wouldn't mind being Isaac's PA - he must have had one. Don't ask me why I'm in America, though. I hope I brought the cats with me.
