As If By Magic (La Roux) will forever be one of my go-to Tony/Steve songs. I think I had that whole album on repeat when I first got into Avengers fandom a few years back, actually. (See also: Fascination, Armour Love)

[liveonthesun.livejournal.com]

gonna have to see if i can find these on youtube when i get home!

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

I can email them to you later, if you want!

2 - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind

What is Chris Argent/Peter Hale and the internet. And the actors, too. No but seriously, I saw a couple posts about the pairing and I was SUPER SKEPTICAL, but then Ian Bohen posted a picture of him and JR Bourne in leather and with motorcycles, and I was like, "ACCEPTED."

True story.

11 - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom

I honestly haven't formed an opinion on people in Teen Wolf! I mean, you're awesome, but I've known that since our SG-1 days. The few other people I know are pretty cool too. People in Suits and H50 all seem really nice. I don't really consider myself a part of the XMFC and Avengers fandoms anymore, but the friends I made in those are generally Good People. I can't comment on any humans I haven't interacted with, anyway.

16 - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

Oh man, is there a Derek/Stiles Parent Trap AU yet? Because there should be. Actually, I would even go for a Parent Trap-like situation in a canon-based story. IT WOULD BE SUPER CUTE, OKAY.

[paper-tzipporah.livejournal.com]

I am trying to imagine how a Parent Trap situation would work in Teen Wolf fandom and failing miserably. Although I really hope Peter Hale and Chris Argent are the parents in whatever scenario you're imagining.

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

Like - Stiles and Derek date for a while! And then they have this huge fight and break up and years later the pack is like, "Derek, you're a bag of dicks without Stiles." So they trick them into admitting they still have feelings for each other, etc.

[paper-tzipporah.livejournal.com]

LOLOLOLOLOL, well, Derek IS a bag of dicks without Stiles! I would read that.

Ah, none. There are plenty of pairings I don't like or understand, but personally I think it's a waste of my time to sit around wishing I did like them? Especially when chances are I never will. So that's sort of that.

/zen and the art of fandom

16 - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

I firmly believe that there should be an AU where Danny is a vet and Steve is this random hot guy who keeps rescuing all these animals off the side of the road. One day Grace is at the clinic and Steve brings in a pitbull puppy that had been abandoned, and she and him make it their sworn duty to raise it properly. Danny, as always, wonders exactly when he lost control of his life.

IT WOULD BE ADORABLE. I AM JUST SAYING.

19 - Show us an example of your personal headcanon

Uhhhhh. Hmm. I like to think of Danny as a guy who likes swing dance - like, it's something he and his mother would do when everybody was out of the house and Matt couldn't make fun of him.

26 - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go

OKAY, SO, I have this thing about canon throwbacks - like in XMFC, everyone and their uncle used some variant of "peace was never an option" (among other things) in every other fic because it was the Big Line from the movie, you know? I just despise them, almost as much as I despise shipname portmanteaus. Very little else throws me out of a story faster than seeing someone refer to Derek (from Teen Wolf) as 'Sourwolf.' It's gotten to the point where I find myself editing my stories specifically to avoid using certain phrases and/or words I know that fandom has latched onto. They're perfectly good words, too! But I can't use 'peace' in a XMFC fic without second-guessing myself.

[tailoredshirt.livejournal.com]

16. OH MY GOD YES. Steve would be the most adorable ever. He just keeps bringing in kittens and birds and sea turtles and shit, and Danny is like, WHERE ARE YOU FINDING THESE ANIMALS.

19. That's cute. I totally imagine that Danny is a pretty good dancer and Steve is completely terrible and embarrassing at it.

26. I know what you mean. Every time I see "SuperSEAL" in a fic, or the Navy/Army joke, I roll my eyes. I'm sure there are some cliches I use when I should be more original, but fandom has put me off of some things entirely.

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

Oh man. Now I want a story where Steve has to go undercover at a dance (or something) and Danny has to teach him enough for it to be convincing.

I DON'T KNOW. I HAVE TOO MANY REQUESTS. BASICALLY I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO WRITE/DRAW ALL THE THINGS FOR ME. I guess it would depend on the artist/author, and the fandom I was in at the time. It would also help if I had favorite artists/authors, I think.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

18 pls!

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

I tend to ship popular/established pairings because I am highly unoriginal like that, but there are a couple that I haven't seen in fic so I might be the only one/one of the few to ship them. Moira/Emma comes to mind first.

[vanishing-cake.livejournal.com]

1 and 22!

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

1 - Your current OTP

I'm sort of multifandom at the moment, so I have a couple current ones. I guess Stiles/Derek would be the most current, seeing as I've still got that new fandom glare in my eyes. XD

22 - Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping?

Well...no, I'm not. That is to say, there are movies and shows that I've enjoyed but I'm not fannish about - Psych, for example - and there are movies and shows (and books) that have canon pairings (or don't) that are presented in such a way that satisfy the fannish parts of me - like the Parasol Protectorate books.
