drink from poisoned cup
Jan. 7th, 2008 09:09 pmI did this meme thing, if you want it too just leave me a comment or something, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
piecesofalice asked:
1. Would you seriously write Miss Parker/Lyle/Jarod? Why/why not?
Of course I would! Lyle is obsessed with his sister, and obsessed with Jarod. Miss P and Jarod would get it on any time there was a deserted alley and a gun in her hand, obvs. Jarod is repulsed by Lyle, but wants to know what makes him tick and Parker wants to love her brother even though he's a disgusting cockroach. She tries, though, and though when the revolution comes he will be first against the wall, she will miss him all the same.
2. Name your first fandom.
I nearly said The Pretender, but that was 1996 and I realised that I was fourteen at the time, and therefore it was not my first fandom. My first fandom was either Sailor Moon or Power Rangers. Yeah, shut the hell up. The first fandom I wrote fic in was Roswell, but that wasn't until I went to uni.
3. What is the fic you'd love to write, but don't have the stamina/guts to?
The Greatest Crossover Idea Ever (The Pretender/Firefly/Dune). Though by writing it here, I'm hoping to motivate myself into writing it. Of course, this answer is just hiding the real answer, which due to its current status as UNTOUCHED FOR THREE MONTHS, is probably the awesome fic of awesome that I am allegedly cowriting with some girl called piecesof.
4. What album reminds you of The Pretender?
I'm not sure an entire album is any good. Probably Powderfinger's Internationalist comes closest, though even that's not a very good fit. I KNOW you want me to say something by Hawksley, but I shan't.
5. And finally - how do you want our OTP to end?
It will end like this: Lyle will make his move against his sister and Jarod. Jarod will react, he will attempt to take Lyle out but he will miscalculate, and in trying to both take Lyle out AND save Parker and Sydney he will fail, and Lyle will capture him. Jarod will be his prize, and Lyle, triumphant, will find that he has succeeded. Parker, unsure, will attempt to rescue Jarod but she will fail, and Sydney will die during the attempt and Parker will doubt herself and she will run, run until her brother can no longer find her. Disappointed, Jarod will escape, and he will disappear, and he will make no attempt to find her for years. Eventually, he will realise that her failings are his failings too, and he should not fault her for them, he will attempt to find her but she will not be anywhere to be found.
The Centre will go on to become Blue Sun, etc etc etc, but Miss Parker will remain hidden and she will change the world wherever she lands but she will never see Jarod, and she will never see her brother, and she will be a better person for it.
Jarod will begrudge her for it.
That's not how I want it to end, but that's how it will end. How I want it to end: they bring the Centre down, looking hot and wearing very attractive clothes, and then they almost but not quite touch. Because the first rule of Pretender club: NO TOUCHING.
