From various folk:

Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.

Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.

Question can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want.

Fandoms include but are not limited to: HP, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Merlin, SGA, Firefly, SPN, Star Treks, T:TSCC, BSG, Legend of the Seeker and Leverage, though I'm not up to date on all currently airing shows either out of choice or lack of time.

*omg you guys, omg. This is so scary, I do not feel up to this! But it's about 2/3 done, maybe.

If you were going to host a dinner party to which you could invite your choice of any characters from HP, Merlin, Firefly, and Star Trek: DS9

--who would make the guest list?
--what food, drinks, and dessert would you serve? (you choose how many courses)
--what topics of conversation would you provide?
--what behavior would you expect to result?

OOH. Okay, I am going to limit myself to two per fandom otherwise I'm never going to be able to feed them all! *g*

HP - Sirius and Lily, for most entertainment value and because Sirius'n'James would no doubt be a nightmare. Merlin - Gwen and Morgana, obv. Firefly - Kaylee and Inara, and for DS9 I'll take Sisko and Dax. I think all of them would be excellent conversationalists, and hopefully by bringing them in friendship pairs it won't be completely awkward.

Food would have to be casual as I'm not the best of cooks - probably a hot plate of nachos with melted cheese and sour cream and so on to start, chili as a main course and something shop-bought as a desert.

I would hope to be able to let the conversation run free - I imagine that (working on the assumption that they're not in fact all in totally clashing worlds centuries apart) there would be conversations about politics - Gwen, Lily and Sisko; tech and engines - Kaylee and Dax; the aristocracy - Sirius, Inara and Morgana. In fact, all of them could talk about rebellions and fighting evil empires of varying sorts, which would be pretty awesome. I expect that by the end of the evening we'd have a revolution on our hands.

I AM ATTENDING THIS DINNER PARTY COME HELL OR HIGH WATER.

(even just to witness Sirius, Inara, and Morgana talking about the aristocracy. OMG.)
