Miscellanea
Jan. 10th, 2006 09:15 pm1. Now that Serenity is on DVD, can someone hook me up with some Dr. Mathias screencaps? Whenever I try to make screencaps, no matter what media player I'm using, my computer crosses its arms and refuses, and I end up with a blank screencap. (Advice on getting around this problem would also be appreciated.)
I've been using the actor's IMDb photo at my Firefly Character Index, but it's not actually Dr. Mathias and I'd like to fix that.
2. "Which characters/pairings could you write with your eyes closed?" Gakked from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
janedavitt and karabair, and in particular check out Jane's commentary. Now, just because I can write a pairing with my eyes closed doesn't mean I should, obviously. I think there's still plenty of ways to keep my oft-written pairings--Dawn/Giles and Faith/Kennedy at this point--fresh, new, and interesting, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm fluent enough in their respective dynamics that I could write a fic with those pairings without having to think all that much. I think this, all said, is a good thing: it allows me to think more deeply on other things in the fic, like plot and theme.
As far characters, I've been writing Dawn quite a bit since I've gotten this LJ; the voice I use for her is pretty much set. I think I've hit on a pretty consistent Book voice as well. I don't think there are any other characters I'm quite as at home in, although Kennedy might come close. There's a decent number of characters, like Eve, whom I could write with only one eye open.
No matter how often I write fics from their perspectives, Drusilla, River, and crazy!Fred will never be characters I could write with my eyes closed. Their voices take work, although personally I find it rewarding.
3. After answering the above question, and inspired byglossings' recent statistic-loaed geekery, I began to wonder exactly how many fics I've written with each character.
( Characters )
A few of these surprised me; I didn't realize I had written quite so many stories with Giles in them (they're not all Dawn/Giles, after all), and I thought I had written more with Roger.
4. To work up to watching Serenity, I've been rewatching Firefly. ( Spoilers for 'Serenity' and 'Shindig' )

(examples: "5 Sexiest Things About Ron Weasley" or "Top 5 things to drink"). Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Then you post this offer in your own journal. ETA: Anyone who actually gives me "5 Sexiest Things about Ron Weasley"? Will not live to tell the tale.
