I Like To Imagine I'm Wearing A Cape Emblazoned With 'The Doorinator'.

[Poll #1274948]

I hate it when someone who doesn't truly appreciate the beauty of automatic doors reaches one in front of me. YOU HAVE ROBBED ME OF MY MOMENT OF AWESOME. (Seriously, if you've never 'opened' an automatic door with a dramatic sweep of the arm, you should try it. You look completely ridiculous, but you feel like the coolest person in the world.)

I cannot, alas, take credit for coming up with the mushroom question; it's a question my brother asked my father a few weeks ago. I laughed so hard when my father relayed it to me.

Mushrooms are evil and they must be extinguished!

[rionaleonhart]

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms as a food, but I thought that question was too excellent not to ask the wider world.

[calamitysxchild.livejournal.com]

oh jeez I didn't do the fanfic thing! :(

I don't pretend I'm doing it with my mind silently, really. Usually when I'm with friends at the dining hall here on campus, somebody hits the button and I go first, open my arms, and go "MAGIC!!" :D

[rionaleonhart]

FEAR NOT; go to this link and you should be able to change your answers!

I am ridiculously pleased that other people are also a bit silly around automatic doors.

[thrennion.livejournal.com]

Polled, girl. And why yes, I did pretend to open an automatic door with THE POWER OF MY MIND this very morning! It was awesome.

[rionaleonhart]

Psychic door-opening high five!

THAT IS NOT THE CORRECT WAY TO PERFORM SURPRISE BUTTSECKS, EDWARD. I DO NOT THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF 'SURPRISE'.

[serriadh.livejournal.com]

I don't do a sweeping gesture, because that would be showy. I just do a little palm-up gesture, like when Magneto is manipulating metal and watch the doors OBEY MY COMMAND! It amuses me far more than it should.

[rionaleonhart]

The extravagance of my gesture generally depends on how dramatically I know the door is to open, really. And, er, whether there's anyone else around.

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

I love your tiny!fic. You need to write that crossover. I would read it. Seriously.

[rionaleonhart]

You shouldn't want to read it! It cannot be allowed to exist!

Interesting fact regarding your tinyfic: relationships between cousins aren't legally incest in the UK, or indeed in most parts of the world. So you may feel free to pair up the Stigs! Perhaps you'll want to find a workaround for American Stig, though.

I COULDN'T GET IT DOWN TO 255 CHARACTERS, SO IT IS HERE INSTEAD:

Life isn't so bad with Chad as a dog. Jared isn't sure whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, how quickly they've got used to it.

“No,” he scolds, as Chad buries his nose in Jared’s crotch. “Go molest Jensen. He likes it,” he adds. But Chad just whines, and squints, and Jared can’t help but pet him. Jensen rolls his eyes and eats another slice of pizza.

[rionaleonhart]

WRITE THIS OR I'LL CRY.

[proleptic-fancy.livejournal.com]

I'm so relieved I'm not the only one who does the door thing. I just can't help myself sometimes!

And I would also totally read that crossover.

[rionaleonhart]

I was fully expecting just to get some weird looks and maybe a couple of people saying 'well, that never occurred to me, but maybe I'll give it a try.' I'm very pleased to discover that apparently many of us harbour secret ridiculous door-opening habits.

STOP BEING AN AUDIENCE. IF THERE'S AN AUDIENCE, I CAN'T USE 'WELL, NOBODY WOULD READ IT ANYWAY' AS AN EXCUSE FOR NOT WRITING THIS FIC. THIS FIC SHOULD NEVER BE WRITTEN.

SMALL BUT TOO-LONG THING FROM TEXTBOX:

Jeremy watched the bike roar off into the distance, rubbing his aching leg absentmindedly. Clearly the git of a Hell's Angel was a bigger threat than he appeared on his ridiculous petrol-gargling motorbike show - not just to the environment, but to ordinary citizens. He made up his mind to bring it up at the next Greenpeace AGM; clearly, for the good of the planet (and his own rosebushes), Bonesaw May had to be stopped.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

BIKER MAY AND ECOMENTALIST JEREMY!

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

The funny though, is that where I live mushrooms are not at all rare. It rains? MUSHROOMS FOREVER.

[rionaleonhart]

My dad is going to turn up on your doorstep any second now.

[kelly96.livejournal.com]

I have never done the door thing before.

I am totally trying it tomorrow.

[rionaleonhart]

IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Well, all right, it probably won't. But I hope you enjoy it anyway.

TELL ME IF IT CHANGES YOUR LIFE.

[rhosyndu.livejournal.com]

Feck it. I can't snip it down to fit in the box, no matter how hard I try.

The bad idea? Is Peep Show Slash. There's a reason it's night impossible to find on the web.

Mark woke first. Naked. His arm was trapped under Jeremy, who was, regrettably, also naked. Very naked. Particularly in the penis area. And, in a way, getting more naked by the minute if you considered it vis-à-vis the number of square inches of bare skin.

Oh, god.

Jeremy snorted, and one of his hands made a sleepy crawl towards his crotch.

Oh, god. Mark swallowed, and looked at his arm firmly wedged under Jeremy, all of his body weight pinning it down. Pins and needles started to prickle in Mark’s fingers, and for once he found it easy not to worry about loss of circulation.

Mark looked back up. And then away again. Jeremy now had things 'firmly in hand', as it were.

Is it more gay to wake him up, or to let him carry on?

--

[rionaleonhart]

MARK/JEREMY IS PURE AND TRUE AND THIS IS TOTALLY NOT A BAD IDEA. Is the Internet not flooded with Mark/Jeremy fanfiction? Clearly this must be rectified.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

I pretty much open every single automatic door like that. :D:

[rionaleonhart]

WE ARE THE COOL PEOPLE. WE'RE SO COOL THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T EVEN REALISE HOW COOL WE ARE.

[slasherfersure.livejournal.com]

O:!!

Now I wanna go to Fred Meyers and do that with their automatic doors. xD

[th-esaurus.livejournal.com]

Whoever wrote the Watchmen/Pokemon crossover in your poll is amazing.

[cryforthemoon.livejournal.com]

Damnit, one day I'll resist that ficlet-box.

[emmarrrrr.livejournal.com]

I HAS MAGNETO POW0RZ

trufax.

[harveytheayeaye.livejournal.com]

I like to pretend it's a Jedi Mind Trick...

[geekgirlofdoom.livejournal.com]

I more like to think it at automatic doors. About half the time, it's "open." The other half is "open sesame," and I am not proud.

Also, only Jack Harkness makes me use phrases like "sexy proximity situation."

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

I have never done the door thing.

I'd feel bad about the mushrooms running around like mice, because I'd be too guilt-ridden to eat them anymore, and they're delicious. But it'd be worth it, because they'd be so cute!

The problem is that all my mad or ridiculous ideas get written. Only my horribly traumatizing ideas get suppressed, and not very well.

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

YOU SHOULD NOT SUPPRESS YOUR IDEAS FOR YOU ARE GENIUS AND IF YOU DIDN'T WRITE I WOULD PROBABLY DIE FROM AWESOME!FIC WITHDRAWAL.

...

THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO RIONA.

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

You're not the only one. You're just the only one who apparently would still desire to eat them.

[the-funmonkey.livejournal.com]

The last scrappy remnants of my pride stop me from writing all sorts of shit, I'm afraid.

If mushrooms ran about, chances are they'd eventually start telling you that your princess is in another castle. Can't be having that.

[rionaleonhart]

For Sam Tyler and Jack Harkness-interaction (and I believe Sam is eventually to join Torchwood), you should totally check out damageverse. Here is the index of parts so far. (Scroll up to find them arranged according to individuals; there's so much time travel that it's impossible to arrange them in a single chronological order.)

[reipan.livejournal.com]

When approaching an automatic door, I make a sweeping gesture and pretend that I am opening it with the POWER OF MY MIND

ALL THE TIME, HATS. ALL THE TIME. The more flamboyant the better. I want everybody around me to know that I have superpowers. It's actually really annoying around those doors where the sensor is too high up to pick up the fact that there is someone trying to go through them who is not ridiculously tall. "I COMMAND YOU TO - oh for fuck's sake. -_-"

I would quite like mushrooms to run around, if only for the amusement factor of having some live prey to go after once in a while.

[savich-inc.livejournal.com]

I especially love going through them listening to REALLY EPIC MUSIC on my iPod and wearing some sort of badass coat. :D Especially when they open in time with the crescendo of the music. Yessss!

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

Bytheway, how many fics do I have to persuade people to write about inexplicable tininess before it is added as a category on the cracklist? Because there are not enough fics about people being made ineplicably tiny at all, let alone in the Top Gear fandom. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED LIKE NOW.

[rionaleonhart]

I'm afraid that inexplicable tininess, although it totally deserves its own category, is probably always going to end up under 'Transformations'. Please do persuade people to write it, though!

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

James does it. Have you seen the new episode of big ideas? It between ten and fifteen minutes in.

[rionaleonhart]

I didn't see it! Does this mean that I am secretly James May?
