[livejournal.com profile] sistercarrion posted: "Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given."

The subjects she gave me: I'm going to cheat slightly here and use one of my own ones, because, well, it's true! So: Your take on Captain John, your unusual LJ name, Writers Block questions ;), reviews, fanfic

Oooh. Fun.

1. Your take on Captain John Hart
I love him with a passionate passion. Now, everyone knows I love Torchwood, but if the show has a flaw - and yes, it has a few - it's that it sometimes lacks humour. Captain John Hart has enough humour to light up the sky.

But it isn't simple humour. It's dark humour, it's needy humour, it's joking-in-the-face-of-heartbreak-and-fear humour. It's defiant humour, because he's a defiant kind of guy. He's desperate, he's lost, he's vulnerable, he's rootless, he has no anchor - he wants Jack to be his anchor, but Jack isn't having any of that.

I'd love to explore John's ongoing story. I'd love to see him find the kind of redemption that Jack found when he met the Doctor - but I don't want to see John lose his edge. I want to see more of Captain John's adventures, minus interference from Gray. How much of what he said in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" was complete bullshit? And how much was based on truths clear enough that Jack believed it, knowing him as he did?

I wish people would write more Jack/John fic, including myself.
2. your unusual LJ name )
3. Writers Block questions )
4. reviews )This leads nicely into:
5. fanfic )

I usually only read stories in any one fandom for the duration of my involvement in that fandom, though I sometimes reread old favourites in fandoms I have followed in the past.

A few outstanding favourites of all time: "They Say of the Elves" by Brancher (Lord of the Rings), "Object of Desire" by Courtney Grey (The Professionals), "A Nice Friendly Game" by koimistress (Smallville). I've yet to find anything of quite that calibre in Torchwood fandom, but I live in hope and scrutinize rec lits - more, more, we need more!


P.S. Did I just write all that about Captain John Hart without mentioning the word "cheekbones"? Or using the word "sexy"?

I must be slipping.

From thefridayfive:

1. Are you related to anyone famous or do you have any famous friends? If so, who?
I'm related to a few people who are famous historically - Bishop Ridley, the Protestant martyr in Queen Mary's time; Black Peter Grant; Herbert Hoover. And yes, I have some famous friends, but I think it would be crass to talk about them as if I were name-dropping.

2. Do you have any autographs or memorabilia?
Yes. The autographs I value are all of authors or artists: Dorothy Dunnett, Lois McMaster Bujold, Theodore Sturgeon, Guy Gavriel Kay, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller, Jo Beverley, Charles Vess, Mike Kaluta, Stan Lee, Barry Windsor-Smith. I also have a few autographs from TV stars: Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, Adrian Paul, Michael Rosenbaum. They're sort of by accident.

3. If you could meet any 3 celebrities who would they be?
Currently? Picking ones I've never met: Karin Lowachee, Megan Whelan Turner, and Lois McMaster Bujold. Actors? John Barrowman, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant. Artists: Tim Sale, Rosemary Spragg, John Romita Jr.

4. What would you want to be famous for doing?
Writing.

5. Who's the most annoying celebrity?
How should I know? If they're annoying, I ignore them. I've no idea who is most annoying. Okay, for the sake of giving an answer, I'll say Mel Gibson, because of his homophobia, his anti-semitism, his drunkenness, and his religion-driven judgments. These qualities are annoying. And back when he played Tim or Mad Max, he was so damn cute!
