strangevisitor7One more time - because Icons are fun!!!
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.
pezgirl7 asked about these:
.
This is the oldest icon on my journal. When I started reading fanfic, I was all about Stargate Atlantis and SG-1. I wrote exactly one SG-1 fic before Supernatural took over my muse. But I still read a lot of Atlantis fics and I am a sucker for any SGA crossovers (always looking for recs). I do not forgive ScyFy (or what ever the hell that dumb ass channel is calling itself theses days) for canceling it
.
Quantum Leap is the first fandom I can remember ever joining a fan club for - this was way back when club newsletters were printed in someone's basement and mailed to you. My first big mulitchapter story was a QL/SPN cross. Scott Backula will always be Sam Beckett and Dean Stockwell will always be Al (he is not a cylon!)
.
I have a love hate relationship with Smallville. I love Chloe Sullivan and I hate (with the heat of a thousand burning suns) Lana Lang. I think this icon pretty much captures that feeling. Before I go on a 5 paragraph rant about what a Mary Sue Lana is and how happy I am she's gone - I'll just stop now
.
This amazing manipulation is of Ezra Standish and his cousin Charlotte Sparrow made by the very talentedjinxed_wood especially for ithildyn and the Aces Immortal series that we are writing.
.
Ezra Standish - I have 19 icons with Ezra on them. (And only 16 of Dean - when did that happen?) Anyway, I love this icon bybookaddict43 becasue he's looking down and the color makes him almost glow. The pic is from a great scene in "Vendetta" but the icon captures a vulnerability that I love about Ezra. If you really don't know why I love Ezra then read below where I answer Ith's five things meme.
Way back when, I commented on a "Five Things" meme fromithildyn - I finally remembered to answer her prompts.
Perfect evening with your hubby - I love going to dinner and a movie. We do it all the time and I always enjoy the time together. The movie theaters that have the big love seats are fantastic. I know it sounds cliche but I really just love cuddling up next to him and enjoying the movie.
Crackiest SPN crossover you've ever been tempted to write -Isn't my 60,000 word epic adventure that crosses SPN/HL/SV/Firefly with a dash of Mag7 cracky enough? Well, I am actually writing that... So the crackiest thing I never wrote would have to be the one time I tried to send the Winchesters back to the old west to meet the Mag7 boys. I was going to have them stop the tragedy that led to my story Ghost Town. When, after 1000 words, I realized that I would unravel the space time continuum of my own fic, I smacked myself back to sensibility. So no time traveling SPN/Mag7 Crossovers for me.
Iron Man - I have been a huge RDJ fan since "Chances Are" I love the guy. I am also a comic book fan. And of all the comic book movies and all the casting of superheroes through the ages, I think Robert Downey Jr. as Ironman is the best casting ever. Not only does he look exactly like comic book drawings of Tony Stark, he lived that life of drunken/addict millionaire movie star. Yes, I love Hugh Jackman as Wolverine but dammit he's too tall. RDJ is perfect as Ironman on every level
Ezra: Where to begin. I simply love this character. He's far and away my favorite of the Mag7 boys (sorry Vin). Before I ever saw an episode, I was intrigued by the character in fic I'd beta'd forlyl_devil. So, I was an Ezra fan before I even found out he was gorgeous too. Of all the boys, I think is the one who was the most affected by joining the 7 and the most fleshed out of the characters. He started as an untrustworthy conman to become someone who risked his life for friends. He's complicated and damaged - a deadly combination for me.
If you could get a fic written just for you, what would it be?: This is tough. I guess I'd like to see Dean and Ezra in another fic together (in a non-slashy way, people - geez). I've tried but have yet to figure out a way to bring these two together again and I am reluctant to write ATF Mag7. Another scenario I like to see is Ezra and Sophie from Leverage - I just know these two would get along - in a scary and dangerous way.

Date: 2009-04-07 04:26 am (UTC)I loved Quantum Leap, I think I was in middle school then. My fav eps were the ones where Sam was trying to save his brother from being killed in Vietnam. My best friend wrote an essay and won a trip to the set and met Scott. I was SO jealous!
I feel the same way about Lana as you do. I sorta stopped watching the show once Lex left. It just seems like they keep going around in circles, nothing really changes.
