The Blues of Flus

misscamI think I've come down with the flu, which annoys me greatly. I played some Diablo 2 and pretended the demons were the germs, which rather cheered me up. I'm not in the mood to be sick, darnit. Not that my body ever listens to my moods.
In today's "WTF" moments:
A fanfic starring the "Princess of Norway" and a Norway out of bizarro world
Oh look, Eowyn!
The latter did make me think though. So Cam's Meme of the Week (go as mad as you like):
1) In a previous incarnation, who was I?
2) In that time, who were you and how did we know each other, if we did?
3) If a book was made about that time and us, what would the title be?
4) Who would be cast as the Lust Objects in the movie based on the book?
5) And what would be the most common Sue in fanfics based on the movie? (Give a little description.)
(Feel free to nick, if you so desire.)

Date: 2005-02-05 05:02 am (UTC)So, now for the meme of the week:
1) In a former life, you were Maximilien Marie Isidore de Robespierre.
2) I was Louis-Antoine-León de Saint-Juste, your protegé, evil minion and companion on the scaffold.
3) I am quite sure that there are already a lot of fictionalized treatments of the French Revolution in literature, but let me think of a particularly lurid title. How about "The Devil's Advocate and His Angel of Death"? :)
4) If they did a screen adaptation of this movie, it would be starring Russell Crowe (who looks nothing like Robespierre, but, hey, that doesn't matter) and Jude Law (dito).
5) I think there wouldn't be many Sues, because the fangirls would be too busy slashing the Revolutionaries.
And last, but certainly not least: I hope your flu is not too bad and you'll feel better soon. Just snuggle up in bed with a hot waterbottle, your favourite sort of tea and some entertaining audiobook in the background. *hugs*

And yeah, I'm hoping for better times soon myself. But tea is an excellent suggestion.

Date: 2005-02-05 05:33 am (UTC)And, as for the meme:
1) You were Chandragupta Maurya, this random king who through sheer luck took over half of India. (Yes, he exists.)
2) I was Chanakya, the rather smarmy but clever court advisor.
3) Lessee...weird-sounding title...How about 'The Upstart and the Scoundrel'?
4) If they made this movie in India, it would so star Shah Rukh Khan.
5) The fangirls would be busy writing TEH HAWT Chandragupta/Chanakya slash, although the fact that India has arranged marriages and that C.Gupta married more than once is good Sue-fodder.
I hope you feel better soon. Use this as an excuse to dawdle around and be as lazy as you like with your favourite sort of hot drink and a nice book or something. :)

Date: 2005-02-05 06:33 am (UTC)The reviews from other Norwegians: *evil grin*
There is a dark corner in every clasroom reserved for people like you.
Do you even know who the King and Queen of Norway is?
Don't mess with things you don't know anything about, and just because you read in some magasine about the sweet little Maud Angelica and the two two marrages the last years, does not mean you should play with our royalty.
I'm shure you are tha type of person that would see that movie about the girl that gets the Prince of Danemark... wel one is taken, and no one want the othe, not even his wife.
If you wan't to use a special Mary Sue, use a the child of a superstar that OD'ed or the distant relative of a very rich guy.
If you really wan't to mess with royalty, DON'T USE COUNTRIES YOU THINK NOBODY CARE ABOUTH, because somebody allways do. Make shure nobody care.
Like, chose a country America is bombing.
Got me?
NO more messing with Norway!!
and
I know that you have your own fantasy world and all, but I do believe that you should at least have read a little about Norway before starting this story. Adianna isn't even a norwegian name, it would never had happened to someone in the royal family would get that name as they are all named after past kings and queens.
and the author's response:
Okay, I refuse to put anymroe disclaimers up here, but I will say that yada yada yada, I know...I have no idea about anything in Norway, please don't be offended and send me bad reviews or anything -Glares at the one first annoying person- Hell, I probably couldn't find the damned place on the map if it was for my life, but come on, it's a fan fiction, chill out
*snorts*
Yeah.

Date: 2005-02-05 07:44 am (UTC)You were the Dread Pirate Bobbin.
2) In that time, who were you and how did we know each other, if we did?
I was a deck hand.
3) If a book was made about that time and us, what would the title be?
"Those dead dudes."
4) Who would be cast as the Lust Objects in the movie based on the book?
Viggo Mortensen and Craig Parker.
5) And what would be the most common Sue in fanfics based on the movie? (Give a little description.)
The 'Brave, Sassy, Independant But Sensitive Nice Pirate Lass'.

Date: 2005-02-05 10:24 am (UTC)2) I was one of your advisers, but you never learned my name.
3) "Let's kick some German arse"
4) Ola Rapace Norell!
5) Queen Margareta's unknown, younger sister (who happens to be very very pretty), who comes out of nowhere one day when the Queen is feeling a bit low, pep-talks her into fighting spirit and thus saves the day.
Muhaha. This was a good meme!

Date: 2005-02-05 07:47 pm (UTC)As for the meme...
1. You were the Moste Evile Ande Carnivorouse Queene of Physicke-Thingiese, determined to take over the world as soon as you thought of your Evile Planne, which was so evil you couldn't ever concieve of it.
2. And I was your personal calculator Bob.
3. We lived in Olde Englishe, back in the good ol' days when everything needed extra 'e's.
4. Lust Objects - Orlando Bloom in drag would play you, I'd be voiced by Alan Rickman.
5. Example summary... "Bob thought he was the only electrical thing in the land of Olde Englishe... until he met Milandromielinaria, a beatiful pocket organiser who fell into Olde Englishe one day. Can the power of love overcome the lack of rechargers? Or will Olde Englishe fall into darkness until sunrise the next day?"
Is it certain that you can't catch 'flu over the internet? Because I was feeling a bit delirious a few moments ago...

Not (quite) yet...
Date: 2005-02-06 10:50 pm (UTC)fangirlingresearching Orli in drag and found this. He's got the necklace, the hair clips and the dress...I'm not sure if blue is really his colour, though. Although I suppose in comparison with some of the other stuff he's worn, this isn't too bad.

2. And I was your personal calculator Bob. We lived in the language of Olde Englishe, back in the good ol' days when everything needed extra 'e's.
3. Hmmm, the book... "Bob - A Personal Calculator's Tale". A giant rollercoaster of a novel, with some fiery gypsies thrown in.
And yes, you have Blackadder 3 to blame for that. The episode with the dictionary, to be precise.
