Since even including what I've posted only puts this at 6, the seven pages bit has to be put aside. But seven lines down, here are the next seven lines.

( BSG WIPness )

Damn it brain, why won't you let me finish! But I did stare at it until I finally managed to peck out a sentence. That's progress, right?

One year I'll do this on the first of December! But then again, would that have the same effect as dividing by zero?

Post titles for 2011!

( Lets see if any make sense out of context! )

Because anything more than copy and pasting is beyond me just now.

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

Remainder.wps
remix.wps <=Currently a blank document, but I think there may be an idea in my head somewhere now. Yay I guess.
wings of stars.wps
wip.wps and wip2.wps <=My scrap files. Currently still containing fic that's been done.

Now perhaps I can get some work done on these, maybe? Would help to have a document open, wouldn't it?

Because why come up with original content when you can do time wasters like this.

Go to your calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2010. Post the first 1-2 lines of it in your journal, and that's your "Year In Review".

( And this year I have twelve of them! )

...I'm taking you all with me!

the TV TROPES meme

11. Favourite male character?

Harry! At first he was just the boss, with the focus mainly on the pretty, angsty young things, but over 9 years and Peter Firth's wonderful performance he's become the back bone of the show. And that's not just because he's the only one who's been there from the very start.

Though I do also have a soft spot for Tom. He was the original pretty emo spy.

12. Least favourite male character?

Here I was stuck, as while Adam could get on my nerves I wouldn't say I hated him. Then I remembered Andy Serkis from that rock star episode. Poor Gollum, but by god that character was annoying.

New Apprentice, and it's the adult version so that means no Alan Sugar being nice because he might make the teenagers cry. Though since it's the beginning all the candidates are an indistinguishable mass of smug and sound bites.

But seriously, a sales technique consisting of a strange man going door to door asking if people wanted to buy his sausages? I'm surprised none of them got arrested.

And continuing with month of Spooks Day 8. Worst exit?

Zoe's was a bit of a muddle, but it's got to be Zaf. Captured at the beginning of series 7, what happened to him? Would it be that over the course of the series they eventually find out what happened and track him down, perhaps mount an epic rescue? No, we got to watch Adam have epic manpain and tuns out Zaf was just tortured and killed. Poor Zaf! Fucking writers!

And it's meme days 4,5 and 6!

4. Favourite female character?

RUTH! Oh how I love Ruth. I've had the biggest crush on Nicola Walker since The Last Train and Chalk (I know, shut up), so Ruth had me the moment she dropped her files. Then she battled a lamp!

Her development from enthusiastic and naive GCHQ plant to ruling the Grid to out in the field to the more world-weary, pragmatic woman she is now, she (and Harry) have added some good old fashioned spy intrigue and depth amongst all the snazzy camera work and face paced action. Plush, she's a cat person!

But I also have to mention Ros. When she first showed up I HATED her, and her involvement in Ruth leaving, even though that was down to behind the scenes pregnancy, did not endear her to me. But when I came back to Spooks in series 8 she won me over. Her leadership was a nice change of pace from the chronic manpain of Adam and Tom; she was cold, ruthless and brilliant, and the writers wisely didn't try and soften her with crying or irritating relationships (hello Tom, Adam and Lucas!), instead letting Hermione Norris bring the depth to her in her performance.

5. Least favourite female character?

Oh, that's got to be Not!Christine. So least that I can't even remember her name. Even if she did become slightly more interesting as the series went on, her American accent travelling across the states in a single scene was still irritating as hell. And you know it's a bad accent if I notice it!

6. Favourite location?



Go Thames House that is not really Thames House! The Masons certainly have impressive architecture. And when I spot similar buildings here I can pretend that MI5 agents are inside, saving the UK and having angst and being all secretive. Instead of just, you know, Masons.
