F!S Anon Meme (the Fifth)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

(LJ's still lagging here and there, good luck.)

So, meme. What's the most pointless piece of fanon or worldbuilding you've ever come up with? For example, I have spent slightly ridiculous amounts of time debating the likely currency systems and calligraphic styles of the world of Avatar: TLA, and the linguistics of Cybertronian.

I think that's really cool, anon.

Fire Nation pop culture. Music, theatre, food, etc. I keep picturing the Mid-Autumn Festival complete with streetdancing flash mobs and it is glorious.

I would love to live in that kind of a FN. Seriously.

Oh dear lord.

Deciding which sorts of Scotches Cpt. MacMillan (cod:4) keeps in his office. (Laphroaig 18, MacCallan 15, Lagavulin 21...)

There are probably worse examples but he's a bit character from an fandom with zero fandom and no one on lj will care.

Laphroaig is my fanon too, anon.

But more importantly, what kind of cigars does Captain Price smoke?

Re: Post your fanon here

(Anonymous) 2011-07-30 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I see Price as the kind of man who's constantly changing what he smokes, but overall likes a good Havana.

...And occasionally has one of Soap's fags when they stop for a smoke break together.

LAPHROAIG.



(Sorry I don't know that fandom. But I know Laphroaig. IT IS THE NECTAR OF THE GODS.)

Well, after the first season of Heroes, I decided that future Hiro's real reason for traveling back in time was not to save Claire but to keep Peter and Mohinder from getting together. Putting Peter on a mission to find/save Claire would ultimately keep him from getting into a relationship that contributed to the apocalyptic future that was shown in Five Years Gone. Keep in mind this all stemmed from a frame in the String Theory graphic novel.

I once made a flow chart to show how the characters in The Vision of Escaflowne are related to one another.

I have an entire alternate timeline based on my personal fanon theory about the identity of the villains in my fandom, which I only started THREE YEARS after the sequel came out and Jossed my theory. Have yet to write anything in this verse.

Mostly I spend ridiculous amounts of time psychoanalyzing characters.

But I have spent an inordinate amount of time figuring out the logistics of a D.Gray-Man/Kingdom Hearts crossover world (the Keys are Innocence that fell through the holes in the walls of the worlds when the Darkness came; Darkness = Dark Matter; etc...)

I know next to nothing about KH, but this actually sounds fascinating.

SO MUCH fanon about Curt Wild (from Velvet Goldmine). I have his whole past mapped out and I use it in all my fics (have yet to post any of these, though). It's to the point where I begin to object when I see something different in fic before I remember, oh yeah, none of this is canon except the little we already know from the movie.

I'm considering putting together a full scholarly essay on the possibility of A Game of Thrones taking place on a post-nuclear war Earth.

I have spent entirely too much time writing the pseudoscience explanations of what ectoplasm is made of, how ghosts interact with the material world, what the different classifications are actually describing, and how the proton throwers and ghost traps work for the Ghostbusters/Real Ghostbusters universes.

I spent a lot of time determining the social status of other sentient creatures in the HP universe, like vampires and dementors. I spent a lot of time thinking about half-breeds and stuff.

I know the exact layouts and furnishings, down to the wallpaper and carpet style, of every room any of my characters have ever set foot in during the course of a fanfic. (They're all different, too.)

I have invented a back story for Carson Beckett from SGA that include alcoholic father, three younger brothers and an older sister. A habit of ending up in fistfights and experimenting with drugs.

Yes, I know it`s weird, but it makes perfect sense to me xD

I have a positively absurd fanon collection for Final Fantasy VII -- including languages, the nature of the Cetra, weather patterns, and why ShinRa is 神羅 when the company is Whitey McWhiterson oppressing the world's pseudo-Asian culture.
