You Know I'm Feeling Better When I'm Rambling About Crossovers.

Questions I Can't Believe I Have Genuinely Considered:

- If Pyramid Head had an accident that sent him back in time to when Silent Hill was an active town, who would his DCI be? (Let's set aside the question of how he could possibly have a severe accident if he's more or less invincible.) I'd quite like to see him under the command of Gene Hunt or Greg House. Or, er, Geri Halliwell, just to continue the 'GH' theme. Please do not actually write fanfiction about Pyramid Head working with the Spice Girls.
- If Sherlock Holmes and Watson visited Silent Hill, what would Holmes deduce about the nature of the town? Would he be able to solve the mystery of the disappearance of James and Mary Sunderland? (A while ago, [livejournal.com profile] thebaconfat wrote a beautifully mind-destroying fanfic about Holmes and Watson in Silent Hill. If you haven't already read it, I'd highly recommend it.)
- Why hasn't anyone written about Sherlock Holmes being sent forward to 1973 and meeting Sam Tyler yet?
- Are zombies permanently erect as a result of rigor mortis? (I tried to use this to break the ice on the day of the Canadian Invasion and can now pass down my hard-earned wisdom to you: zombie sex is never a good icebreaker.)
- The Top Gear team meet the protagonists of Withnail and I. Should fluffy-haired commiserating-about-insane-friends James/'I' slash ensue?
- During Oz and James' Big Gay Wine Adventure, James says something along the lines of, "That is the mystical cosmic energy in my penis. Oh, and it's gone off again; it usually does." Oz responds, "Yes, that was about four or five seconds; that's about right for you." HOW DOES HE KNOW? (A related question I genuinely can't believe I've considered is 'Why don't more people write Oz/James?' I mean, I know it's not a terribly attractive pairing, but it's so blatant.)
- "My name is Sam Tyler. I had an accident and I woke up in the eighteenth century." The very confused and out-of-place Tyler finds himself on a pirate ship with Captains Clarkson, Hammond and May, quite possibly the worst pirates the world has ever seen, shortly before they run into and probably eventually reluctantly team up with Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew. Would it be too much to have the Doctor turn up with the intention of sorting out the horrible tangled time-mess and recognise Sam as the Master?
- How is it possible for a programme that has a cyborg punching a pterodactyl to be so rubbish?

(Questions I almost included in the list but didn't because I can definitely believe I've considered them include 'What are Captain Jack Harkness' moral boundaries when it comes to shagging? I'm sure he wouldn't do anything nonconsensual. In my mental canon, he thinks of monogamy as a highly outdated concept, but he's aware that a lot of importance was placed on it in the past; would he have sex with a twentieth-century married human if the husband/wife were unaware?' and 'What the hell is the plot of Dark Chronicle, anyway?')

In entirely unrelated news: if you haven't read [livejournal.com profile] mistful's post-Deathly Hallows fic (I think a second half is forthcoming at some point), do! It has managed to make me not hate the epilogue any more, which makes me very happy indeed. Spoilers, obviously.

Ah. I see we will have to indoctrinate you there. (Tim Brooke-Taylor being all manly and butch and *skipping* arm-in-arm with a burly bodyguard is *hysterical*...)

Um, the Sherlock Holmes fic was one of those meme thingys.

I wrote Sherlock Holmes in 1973 (http://m31andy.livejournal.com/259807.html#cutid1) for you in the "ask me for something I'll never write" challenge, which prompted Janni to ask for both Holmes/Hunt (http://m31andy.livejournal.com/259807.html#cutid2) and Watson/Hunt (http://m31andy.livejournal.com/259807.html#cutid3). All of which is utterly disturbing and scary, and I don't blame you for blanking it out!

Apropos of nothing much, you probably therefore missed out the The Irish Rover with added fucking (http://m31andy.livejournal.com/259807.html#cutid14) I did for [livejournal.com profile] clanwilliam. Just saying.

Just as an aside, I love the Goodies (well, what I saw of them as a small kid, mostly my uncle's scratchy early video recordings), and I think I'll have to worship you for even thinking about crossing them over with TG. Erm... as you all were!

*grin*

I had to borrow [livejournal.com profile] darthfi's DVDs the other week and watched something like 20 shows back to back. You start to think of all sorts of really weird things if you do that. (Like Sam Tyler meeting the Goodies when they manage to accidentally dose Ivanhoe with the same growth serum as poor Kitten Kong)

But you see, it makes sense.

The Goodies = TG3 = Top Gear = TG3

Hammond=Oddie. Both are short, fierce about the countryside and like birds.

May=Brooke-Taylor. Proper English Gents, like tea, are slightly more gay than they feel comfortable with

Clarkson=Garden. Scatty, an immense talent for doing wacky things (and, incidentally, whacky things) and get the other two into far more trouble than they would ever do on their own.

Plus, it's just so cute. There's an episode where the Goodies manage to blast themselves into space in a lighthouse after drilling for oil in order to find fuel to light the lighthouse lamp.

Now, can you honestly say that Hammond, May and Clarkson have *never* done anything similar???

The Goodies are on DVD? *flies to Amazon like a mad thing*

May=Brooke-Taylor. Proper English Gents, like tea, are slightly more gay than they feel comfortable with

Oddly, this one makes a lot of sense...

...you owe me new ribs, these ones are broken now!
