Two Memes, Because

[browngirl]

Meme #1 from ladymercury_10:

Give me one character or ship and one of these symbols (or more), and I’ll let you know the following for that character/ship:

☾ : Sleep headcanon

☠ : Drinking/drunk headcanon

☼ : Childhood headcanon

⋆ : Sex headcanon

☮ : Bedroom/house/living quarters headcanon

☄ : Any AU headcanon (modern, school, medieval, and so on)

♤ : Cooking headcanon

☻ : Mood headcanon

♒ : Any other question of your choosing


Meme #2 from _samalander:
Pick any passage of 500 words or less from any story I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you’d expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

On meme #2, I'd love to know more about the Merry/vampire!Halbarad fic. I can't pick any one bit, though. Do you mind choosing any 500 words from that fic, or discussing the fic generally?

I figure you mean the Pippin/Halbarad fic 'A Dangerous Man'?

(I also wrote Merry/Halbarad but not with vampirism)

Tomorrow I shall write about that story for you. :)

Yes, that's the one. Sorry I mixed up the hobbits. For some reason that story has always intrigued me.

No apologies necessary whatsoever. :)

That was a fun piece of crack. I think it grew out of discussions with danae_b. I thought, "If a hobbit were to be a vampire from whom would they catch it? A Ranger!" and I'd been making up a Halbarad of tall smiling nobility whom I enjoyed tossing hobbits at. So I mixed that, Pippin's memetic flirtiness, the Scarf, and my headcanons about hobbit life ("playing tweens" as their conception of demi-adult non-monogamous sexuality, pasttimes like camping, hosting Big Folk guests, and so on) into a spicy Halloween brew. ;)
