Watch me be a lemming

The Top 5 list meme is going around.

You know the rules. Ask me for "top five" lists of pretty much anything, and I will list you my top five of that thing or things.

Top 5 favorite LJ icons (your own or other people's).

1) Songs that are louder than a trainwreck, and more dissonant.
2) Over-use of effects until the floor pitches under me in a most alarming way.
3) Re-use of the same clips, over and over and over. I get that there are classic 'ship moments, but at least vary the other parts?
4) Metaphor? Random clip choice? over-caffination? I have no clue, but I can't follow that one.
5) Evanescence. Period.

I don't know you; simply stumbled upon your journal. Thought I'd get to know you a lil' bit. Hmm. Here we go:

Okay, I'll bite:

top 5 fanzines you would sooo buy, but know will never be made...

1) Great characters, some I can identify with, believe in and enjoy. They don't all have to be good. Alexander DeLarge of Clockwork Orange was one of my favorites in my teens because he was a vessel for my own darker side

2) Engaging plot. Don't make me throw things at the screen (Bodybags), don't use stuff I was writing as fanfiction at the age of 15 and KNEW was cliche even then (Haunted Mansion)

3) Accurate costuming. Dear GOD do not put anorexic women into leather bikinis and call it "historically accurate" (King Arthur)

4) Snappy dialogue.

5) Effects appropriate to the era. I can watch Harryhausen's workwithout irony, but it has to be in an older film. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen failed this one rather spectacularly.

All of these are things I have been fannish about for at least a decade if not three Date marks the date of fannish involvement.

1) Star Wars (1977)
2) Star Trek (No bloody lrtters! Real Trek) (1982)
3) Indiana Jones (1981)
4) Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997), my reintroduction to fandom
5) General Harrison Ford fandom (1980)

1) The All Dark Luke zine that I won't have time to edit. This is not jkb's Luke abuse zine, this is all Luke, all Dark all the time. Whether he fell at Bespin, fell above Endor, or was raised by Vader, there is no redemption.

2) Flip of a Coin, Special 2006 edition. Celebrating 40 years of Harrison Ford's Career. Encompasses all the Ford movies from Dead Heat on a Merry-go-Round to Water to Wine and Firewall. (I have some of the older FoaC zines, and I love them. Some really great Indy stories)

3) A Year on the Loose. All Sirius/Remus during the time when Sirius is on the run, and Remus has resigned from Hogwarts. Each month is assigned to a different author.

4) Another zine like "Rest of the Garbage." Multipairing SW erotica, het, slash, multi pairing, Prequel, classic, original characters, etc.

5) Nothing you can possess. All Indy/Belloq.
