1. Name your ten favourite fictional characters of all time and what book, movie or tv show they came from. (in no real order)

1. Hawkeye Pierce - M*A*S*H
2. Remus Lupin - Harry Potter
3. Fenchurch (what was her last name?!) - So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish
4. Daniel Jackson - Stargate SG-1
5. Lord Vetinari - Discworld
6. Tobermory - yes, the Womble. Shut up.
7. Aziraphale - Good Omens.
8. Arthur Stuart - Velvet Goldmine.
9. Malcom Reed - Enterprise.
10. Angua von Uberwald - Discworld.

2. Name five fictional characters that you would like to have an affair with and/or marry, plus the source. You may disregard any pre-existing attachments for these characters. (in no real order)

A note - all of these except Carrot are "have an affair with."

1. Remus Lupin - what? Like you weren't all thinking it.
2. Nymphadora Tonks.
3. Daniel Jackson.
4. Captain Carrot. I can't spell his last name.
5. Crowley.

3. Name five books/literary works that you would like to live in.

1) Harry Potter.
2) Lyra's world in His Dark Materials. I want a daemon.
3) Discworld! Just so I can join the Assassins' Guild.
4) A Wizard of Earthsea.
Don't think there is a fifth one.

4. What classic/critically acclaimed work(s) of literature do you fully appreciate the artistic merits of but hate nonetheless?

Unlike everyone else in the world, I do not like Jane Austen. I understand how cleverly her books are written, the subtle digs at society and suchlike - but I don't like them. I do like Elizabeth Bennet. But that's it.


5. Name five books that you would recommend I read. (in the comments)
I'd be interested to see what you'll have me reading.

I have an overwhelming urge to slash Vimes and Vetinari. That is all.

Tipping the Velvet,
Fingersmith, - both by the same author; Sarah Waters I think.
Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden
and this is where my lack of reading ability shows. I can't think of any other books I've read and enjoyed. Also, I think you have already read these. Well memoirs of a geisha anyway possibly, that or tipping the velvet.

eitherway they are good books :)

Hannah also recommended Tipping the Velvet some time ago; I've never really read a femmeslashy book before, and I think that ought to be put round.

Memoirs of a Geisha is one I've been putting off for what seems like aeons. I've read the first chapter more than once, but have never had the book in my hands long enough to read the whole thing. I think I ought to(!)

would you like me to lend you the book? I bought it in the holidays. I could also lend you tipping the velvet as well if you liked?

Once I've clawed my way through the Discworld, I shall certainly take you up on that offer. I'd love to read both those books.
