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.

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.

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.

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

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."

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.

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.

[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.)

- 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!

[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.

[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.

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

9: Buy a book. :P

[budclare.livejournal.com]

That's all that you can think of to do to Benton Fraser? We have got to get you some porn, you non-pervert, you.

[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...

[ladysorka]

But I like girls!

...I might be willing to have fun with Meg, though. Or Frannie. Or Meg and Frannie.

[budclare.livejournal.com]

Curses! Well, you're not allowed to have him in your little fantasy, then. It's bad enough having to share him with all the people who want to do naughty things to him. I refuse to share him with anyone who wouldn't try to shag him blind.

(Take Meg. Frannie's a flake. Elaine's not bad, either.)

(And I never stop loving that icon.)

[catystorm.livejournal.com]

We match! :D

[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.

[ladysorka]

But... but... can't I just chat with him about Canada? I've always wanted to live in the Northwest Territorities! Or the Yukon. Either's good. I mean, the man can't shag all the time.

(Ooh, Elaine. I forgot about Elaine. I'll take Elaine. Well, except, Meg in full dress reds... toss up.)

[budclare.livejournal.com]

You can talk to him when you run into him during the whole shagging-Elaine-and/or-Meg scenario, but he can't be the primary focus of the exercise. It just wouldn't be fair to us pervy Benton fanciers. Because how would you feel if I, as a reasonably straight girl, were to monopolize Elaine and/or Meg with idle chitchat? It would be terribly thoughtless of me, see?

(Why choose?)
