OMG YES, that's how it's done!

If you read only one Good Omens crossover this week, make it this one:

Falling Without a Parachute
by musegaarid
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: James Bond/Crowley (!)

It's tense, tautly-plotted, rich with all sorts of prickly nuggets on good and evil and the liminality of secret agents, it's wistful and moving, and when it's funny it's very funny (vintage car one-upmanship!) and when it's hot it's very hot. And she does a spot-on first-person Bond voice.

Here's a silly meme from shadowvalkyrie via skull_bearer:

The Challenge: Assemble a superteam from your various fandoms.
Your team must consist of the following:
(1) Team Leader
(1) Warrior
(1) Smartypants
(1) Hottie
(1) Comic Relief
All your superteam members must be from DIFFERENT fandoms.

here's mine -- all of them from different fandoms.

The superhero team:
Team Leader – Sam Vimes
Warrior – Éowyn of Rohan
Smartypants – John Constantine
Hottie – Grownup Adam Young
Comic Relief – All the Democrats in the US Senate


The supervillain team:
Team Leader – Great Cthulhu (why settle for a lesser evil?)
Warrior – Anakin Skywalker at his whiniest
Smartypants – Stephen Colbert
Hottie – Young Tom Riddle
Comic Relief – Borat. And a bunch of owlbears.

OK, now back to the Porn Battle. Six days of it left to go. Why yes, I am hoping to do one a day. Why yes, they will all be different fandoms. I think. That's the plan anyway.

Holy shit, I want to steal this meme but my brain is fried from being halfway through the first week of classes.

I'm just going to add it to my memories. That way when I have some time I can do the meme and read the crossover.

Hmm, let's see.

Team Leader – Modesty Blaise (books)
Warrior – the Crow (original movie)
Smartypants – Mrs Peel (played by Diana Rigg)
Hottie – Spike
Comic Relief – Neo


The supervillain team:
Team Leader – Gerald Tarrant
Warrior – Xena (pre-reformation)
Smartypants – Dr Fu Manchu
Hottie – Alex Krychek
Comic Relief – Draco Malfoy

That JB/GO crossover is just amazing, isn't it?!? ;9

Fun meme, thanks -- my answers over on my LJ.

Links to your Porn Battle stuff? Pretty-please?

Your superhero teams rules. If I am ever in trouble, I'm calling for them. Eowyn would save me, John would snark at me for being lame, Sam would arrest whoever was in my face, Adam would make me feel better just by smiling in my general direction, and the US Senate Democrats would try and pass a law for me.

Comic Relief – All the Democrats in the US Senate

That would afford plenty of comic relief, although I would nominate Dubya as the comic relief of the supervillian team. A lovely clash.

Are you sure the US-Senate qualifies as a fandom?

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Slash fic and RPGs exist, so yes. :D

[http://users.livejournal.com/_silverfox/]

Senate RPGs? *tries to wrap mind around that concept*

[girl4edwards04.livejournal.com]

This meme is terribly amusing. XD I must steal it for myself!

Comic Relief – All the Democrats in the US Senate for some reason, Ted Kennedy comes to mind first. I've no idea why. XD

The supervillain team

BWAHAHAHA! Oh to be a fly on the wall during *those* strategy meetings.

Well, I'd certainly feel better knowing that your superhero team was patrolling the multiverse. Am forseeing a few clashes of personality between the members of the supervillain squad though (*pictures Tom constantly engaged in futile plots to upsurp his leader*).
