A Title With Nothing To Do With The Post.

The Bible is a very, very odd book. Did you know that you're supposed to sacrifice a lamb and a pigeon after giving birth? Nobody ever tells me these things.

Also, Labyrinth is a very odd film, and my good friend

reipan just suggested Jareth/James Sunderland, thereby showing herself to be a very odd person. (You know, that could actually work. James going through the Labyrinth to find Mary? 'I did it all for you'? I am, of course, not actually going to write this. Because that would be insane.)

I am once again going to recycle the 'one-sentence fic' meme, because I am bored and it is pretty much my favourite meme ever. I have a very short attention span, so it suits me perfectly.

Give me a character (or a pairing, or a non-romantic relationship, or a theory, or anything you like, really) from a fandom (er, preferably one that I'm familiar with, although if I've never heard of it I'll still give it a go. Crossovers are absolutely fine, and in fact I am sort of hopelessly addicted to them), and a theme to go with it, and I'll write you a one-sentence fic. Repeat as many times as you like.

For those of you who aren't familiar with

characterhate, it is enormously fun. The idea is that of combining anonymous hatememes (which are bad) with roleplaying (which is good), resulting in (usually) fictional characters expressing rage anonymously (which, defying the usual laws of gooditude-mathematics, is awesome). There's always at least one Top Gear thread. I find that far more amusing than I should.

I have finished my Top Gear/Harry Potter crossover. I should probably be shot for actually being proud of this.

Hahahah, yup. And sacrifice a white dove every time you menstruate, I believe. A fact I remind anyone who insists on taking the Old Testament at face value.

Also, you're insane. Just so you know. *g*

The ending of that crossover is perfect. *glee*

Top Gear/Doctor Who (not the Stig theory, though I love it so)

The Doctor had, admittedly, been feeling rather lonely since Rose left; but as he watched his three new companions bickering over whether to go forward to experience the Cars of the Future, or go back to buy cars that they knew would appreciate in value, or just race the TARDIS against an Aston Martin ("I don't care if it can travel in time, it's still a telephone box!"), he couldn't help feeling that perhaps he had made a mistake.

TARDIS against Aston Martin? The TARDIS would get the time completely wrong. *grin* Not to mention the place.

I think in the end, the Doctor would leave with Tog Gear Dog.

"There's always at least one Top Gear thread. I find that far more amusing than I should."

I quite like it, it's a nice constant amongst the THOUSANDS of Harry Potter threads and the MILLIONS of Random Anime Threads.

"I should probably be shot for actually being proud of this."

No, no, you should be encouraged! Lots and lots of it. Any plans for a new crazy mad crossover?

Anyway, I've had a look at your interests list to see what sort of crazy crossover I can inflict on you and half of your interests are just you!

Okay, to sort of stick with the Harry Potter theme:
Phineas Nigellus is on Top Gear. I don't know, stick him in that 'reasonably' priced car or something. Because OF COURSE they're going to have famous witches and wizards on it now.

It was only after he had narrowly avoided being trampled to death by an angry rhinoceros - which had, until recently, been a Toyota pickup truck - that Jeremy realised he would probably have to tread slightly more carefully when his guests could do magic, and that some wizards took disparaging comments on their broom-buying histories very seriously indeed.

Hahaha :D

Are you saying they DIDN'T turn Jeremy into a frog? I'd be disappointed if I didn't love the image of Jeremy being scared to death of someone like Flitwick.

I have had the (rather unfortunate) requirement to study the bible (first, original one) since I was little. I can tell you waaaay weirder things then the sacreficial requirements.

For instance, did you know that one of the five books is dedicated solely to rules? All rules, all the time. COurse, sometimes they're written about in stories, but the stories have ~~morals~~ rules that you gotta figure out.

UM ER UM...Friend and Really Awesome Female. XD (at least it's something I know you're familiar with. Also, it was the first thing to pop into my head.)

Do you ever feel that maybe your life revolves around him a little too much? he wrote uneasily, and she read it, and shrugged, and said, "Why do you think he's called Hero?"

[I am once again going to recycle the 'one-sentence fic' meme, because I am bored and it is pretty much my favourite meme ever. I have a very short attention span, so it suits me perfectly.]

I am going to request James Sunderland/Jaereth, with James going through the Labyrinth to find Mary.

...oh, come on. You set it right up for me!

It seems I was misspelling 'Jareth'. Er, whoops. (Also, you are pure evil.)

You asked me to take her away, he said, I did it all for you, and James stared at the man whose stance was too like Mary's and genuinely thought it was a lie.

You are a genius, your crossover is amazing and I am in awe :) And I'm with Draco, we need to encorage you!

Hee, thank you! (I absolutely love your icon. It's so true.)

Hee, it turned out to be a running gag in the hatememe... (glad to have you back, btw!) ;)

The Bible is crazy, but especially the Old Testament. I mean, have you read Leviticus? Well, actually - don't. It's not a good idea.

As for the fic thing: JD/Cox using "Don't Stop Believin'" (http://thumpa-thumpa.org/music/02%20Don't%20Stop%20Believin'.m4a) as inspiration. I just rewatched "My Journey" for the fiftieth time and it had to be done. I can't stop imagining JD listening to this song to get up the courage to confess his undying love to Cox.

Er, at the moment I can only access the Internet through my laptop, which doesn't have any means of playing .m4a files. Is there anything else you could request?

Okay, then how about JD's first attempt at asking Dr. Cox out. It can be out of the blue and completely random or after they've been making out a bunch in the janitor's closet and JD is feeling used or whatever. I just need some Scrubs fic. :)

JD had thought that going out for dinner together wouldn't be too audacious a request, given all the times Dr. Cox had dragged him into closets and cubicles and empty rooms over the past few weeks, but he quickly learnt his mistake when Dr. Cox spent a full forty-five minutes explaining that sex was fine, sex was normal, but by God, Newbie, we are not dating.

Aww, poor JD. That is exactly how it would go. And Cox would spend forty-five minutes ranting because he was so terrified. Hee. :) Thanks!

I WILL GIVE YOU MY FIRST BORN IF YOU WRITE GOOD LABYRINTH FANFICTION OF ANY KIND.

FOR SERIOUS.

THAT MOVIE MAKES MY LIFE.

ARGH WHAT I

I'VE ONLY SEEN IT ONCE

I DON'T KNOW HOW

...oh, God, fine. If you give me a more specific request, I'll give it a try. Don't expect anything good, though.

That meme is fantastic. I am constantly hoping it gets recycled, and then of course I can never think of a cool enough topic.

JD and Dr. Cox! Courage!

First off, hello! And Labyrinth is an odd film, but also genius, if only for the crazy-but-strangely-attractive god that is David Bowie. And also because there are so many things that make me laugh in that film - most of them not purposefully, I think, but still. It's awesome.

Secondly, the true reason I am posting: to review your TG/HP fic properly, rather than leaving that rather rushed reply to it. You deserve it after all your nice comments, and also because it is absolutely fantastic. Seriously, be proud.

"Right," he said, flinging open the door of the little shop. "What's the longest wand you've got here?"

This is Jeremy, right there. He would completely, totally do this.

"Yeah, that reminds me. If you fall off the carpet, don't think I'm going back for you. This is a race."

James raised his eyebrows. "Good to know the spirit of Top Gear camaraderie hasn't been affected by all this."

Again, this is just perfect characterisation. Richard's competitiveness and James' long-suffering, dry comments.

“You know,” he continued, twitching the broom back on course, “being stuck in there wasn’t entirely a bad thing. I mean, obviously it was bad because it gave Hammond and Captain Slow the advantage – or at least it would have if they weren’t about to get locked up right now – but it gave me the chance to show you how well this thing handles. What’s really nice is that, even though I’m a bit of a Colossus compared to the skinny, Hammond-esque Quidditch players you usually see on these sorts of brooms, it still moves beautifully. While obviously a broom is never going to be a great handler if it was, say, cobbled together from sticks that were just lying around – Comet, I’m looking at you – the speed and manoeuvrability generally depend a lot on the size and weight of the rider, but on an MX even an American could turn corners. Not that they’d need to.”

Very long quote, I know, but perfectly done. By now, I was completely convinced that I actually was watching (or reading) an episode of Top Gear. Jeremy reviews cars exactly like this!

Whatever it was, something happened that pitched Richard Hammond off the carpet and into the cold night air.

Because a TG episode wouldn't be complete without 'The World's Smallest Man' having a near-death experience.

"Accio Hammond!"

My sides hurt after this bit.

“Poppycock,” James said. “If these were cars you’d go for the fastest, most insane one there is and damn the safety all to hell.”

This is just so what James would say - and, IMO, he is the hardest of the three of them to characterise. Yet you got him so right - quietly ironic and witty, and so very aware of what his co-presenters are like.

"I banish you from the Top Gear presenters’ presence.”

Have I mentioned how insanely brilliant your Jeremy is?

Anyway, suffice it to say, I loved it, and if you get a crazy urge to write more, please, please do!

You are incredibly lovely, and this review makes me want to squeal and grin like a lunatic and write fanfiction for you. I was actually really worried about this fic, because it was my first real foray into RPF, and I'm so glad that you think I've pulled it off. (I'm glad you liked my reviews, too, because you certainly deserved them.) Thank you so much!

No problem, it was a lot of fun to go back over it, I've read it quite a few times now. I have a feeling I'll be talking about Top Gear with my mate and suddenly say, "How funny was the one where they fell into Hogwarts?" and she will pull a rather bemused face.

Please write more fanfiction, and this was a fantastic RPF, one of the best I've read!
