1) Make a list of fifteen characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment.

2) Ask your f-list to post questions in the comments. For example: "One, nine, and fifteen are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from four. Do they succeed?", "Under what circumstances might five and fourteen fall in love?", "Which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?"

3) After your f-list has stopped asking questions, round them up and answer them using the fifteen characters you selected beforehand, then post them.
  1. Jayne (Firefly)

  2. Teyla Emmagan (SGA)

  3. Merlin (Merlin)

  4. Kono Kalakaua (H50)

  5. Irene Adler (Sherlock)

  6. Tony DiNozzo (NCIS)

  7. Maria Hill (MCU)

  8. Hardison (Leverage)

  9. Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter)

  10. Nita Callahan (Young Wizards)

  11. Faith Lehane (BtVS/Angel)

  12. Bruce Wayne (DC)

  13. James T. Kirk (Star Trek)

  14. Vala Mal Doran (SG1)

  15. Steve Rogers (MCU)

this gets long )

And that's all folks!

Okay, brain cleared, ready to gear up for YT.

TITLE: Below Her Payscale
SUMMARY: Duty above ego. Steve can respect that.
RATING: PG
WARNINGS: None
CATEGORY: Vignette, pre-friendship?
NOTES: Began life as a snippet of a longer Steve/Maria fic, but is just interaction right now. Doesn't really have a home anywhere, but does a little bit to explain why Maria's dealing with the Avengers. For the [livejournal.com profile] avengers100 drabble Prompt #1 "Beginnings".

tielan: (Elementary)

It is taking a little longer to warm up than I'd like. Also, I may never quite get over the episode-by-episode format, simply because I love the EPIC and an episode-by-episode doesn't really allow for that unless there is MYTHARC.

There are various trailing threads in Elementary that could go places but which haven't really been properly pulled and displayed as Significant Threads, so I wouldn't say that it has MYTHARC.

on the other hand, there's the relationships )

I'm still wanting MYTHARC from Elementary, but I'm willing to wait. It took Fringe a while to get off the ground and look what they're doing now! The 40-minute episodic format can hamper, but it could be a benefit if the writers are willing to take a longer-term risk and put some long arc in there as well as the crime-of-the-week.

And yeah, the Holmes&Watson dynamic is reeling me in, slowly but surely.
