Looking for my fandom ships meme?

Looking for the 70 Questions entries to [livejournal.com profile] nemo_gravis's challenge?

Okay, back to real life... I have two more characters in my head demanding to write their answers to the questions. I may have to submit - they're kinda scary! edit Phew! Someone else has claimed one of the ones I was going to do - what a shame! Although... I might still do it, just to see if I can capture the voice) end edit

Now, I have a question (and a suggestion I guess) for those involved in the challenge/impromptu ficathon/madness that is the 70 questions thing - would you be willing to have them all archived in one place? As in, not just on LJ but on a specific site made for the purpose? (With links back to the LJ entries for feedback?) edit I've created a site. I'll wait to hear back from more people before I give out the address, but in case you were thinking it'd be a lot of work it really won't be. *g*(end edit) (Oh! And [livejournal.com profile] bellatemple wants to know if people would be interested in doing a version for Firefly/Serenity as well!)

and... completely different topic, anyone in the UK know of any shops which still have stock of the 'Galactic Heroes' Millennium Falcon? (It's a chunkier version designed for little kids). My nephew is desperate for one and my sister didn't even think it would sell out. Guess what? It's sold out pretty much everywhere! The Forbidden Planet site has it (and it's been ordered) but they didn't indicate whether it was in stock or whether delivery would be made before Christmas so.... help?

Doesn't have to be the UK - so long as I can get it delivered before Christmas. (There is one on EBay which I'm watching but it's point of origin in the USA so...)

I may be a little absent at short notice for a while - I was up at sister's house most of yesterday and she swears it's just Braxton Hicks but her due date is Wednesday and ... Pretty much I'm just waiting for the phone to ring (and why did an old Deacon Blue song suddenly jump into my head there?!)

I could take a look in the big new FP Megastore in Bristol. Unfortunately I'm not paying a trip to London before Christmas.

{{hugs you hard}}

Thank you so much for looking for me Sam! Even thought they didn't have one - thank you!

*hugs back*

I feel bad for getting your hopes up. It was betting on that vs. having the guy look through stocks and then saying "sorry, not buying it after all" if I couldn't get hold of you or you'd found it some other way or whatever. Silly to debate with myself now whether that was a good bet. But still.

And thanks.

I'd be okay with a 70 questions site. And I'd like to see a Serenity version, though I doubt I'd play, since I don't really have the voices.

Cool! And I'd love to do the Serenity one as well - I think I could be convinced to write at least one of them... *g*

I'd be okay with a site too (even though I haven't done them yet! First time online since briefly on Friday night...). Serenity sounds good as well, considering at least two of the girls talk to me occasionally, I too could be convinced.

*g*

Is nect week going to be slightly less manic for you?
[identity profile] willowmina.livejournal.com on December 11th, 2005 09:12 am (UTC)
Slightly - Monday and Wednesday I should be around, except for short periods. Tuesday I'll probably be around after 8.30 (going to take stuff to Dad's). Friday completely out, and Thursday singing lesson so maybe after 9.30 - but possibly not as we haven't decorated yet. But the week before Christmas I think we're relaxing.

It's just such a busy time of year, but hopefully now we've got the busiest period over with.

heh! Make sure you're not getting too stressed with things though, that way lies madness. :)

Thank you so much for the site. I can't get over how completely beautiful it is :)

I pimped it to the PYGS Y!group and will also pimp it to the [livejournal.com profile] su_herald too.

As for the Firefly version, I'm not up on the canon involved but a few of the questions will need tweaking, won't they? Imagine Jayne's response to the Lego question.

... Although, I fully expect they would know what McDonalds is though. That's one craze that will outlive the cockroaches *g*
