yet another fandom meme

[salinea]

Summarize 10 of your fandoms in one sentence, then see who on your friends' list can guess each fandom. ganked from sakanagi

1. Rescue mission of 19 children, but you still got to look good and smile at the camera! - Card Captor Sakura

2. She's black, she's quick, she's beautiful, she went down and went back up and never mind the tentacles - she never said she was faithful, though, what woman is? - Pirates of the Caribean

3. Freedom is a question of peace of mind. - Firefly

4. An eye for an eye, a soul for a soul, a sin for a sin. - Full Metal Alchemist

5. Catering to fetishes or deconstructing fetishes? Either way, the fangirls will love it. - Ouran Host Club

6. Breaking curses, learning kindness, releasing from the cycles of abuse - in the end, Humanity isn't out of grasp for anyone. - Fruits Basket

7. Sacred prostitution, the European tour - now with bonus, Minor Asia and Northern Africa! - Kushiel series

8. Some things never end, but everything may die. - Sandman

9. Fourfold unity stance is stronger than fire palm prana. - Avatar: the last airbender

1. CCS
4. ...XXXHOLiC?
5. ...Tsubasa?

...And I'm too stupid right now to make more guesses, I get the feeling I only got the first one right anyway.

[after-nightfall.livejournal.com]

7 has to be the Kushiel books. :-) Could 5 be Lady Oscar?

[elihice.livejournal.com]

2- ...Pirates of teh Caribbean?
6- Fruits Basket
10 Doctor Who

I have to admit, these are difficult

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

it wouldn't be funny if it wasn't :p

you're in the lead!

[solesakuma]

2. POTC
I'mk bad at this, I've just realized.

[rackhamrose.livejournal.com]

Would 7 be the Kushiel books? ^_~

I want to say 6 is Princess Tutu, but you've done that already... it does sort of remind me of "The Ice-Cold Demon's Tale" but I have no idea whether you're into that manga or not.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

you're not really worse than anyone so far.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I've no idea what "the ice cold demon's tale" is, but it sounds intriguing. Now I want to look it up XD

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Take your time :)

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

2. It might be my own obsession speaking, but that sounds like PotC. Specifically Tia Dalma.

9. That should be Avatar.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I meant to be talking about the ship, but the wording was intentionnaly vague XD

[rebbe]

9 is Avatar, and I feel sad for not being able to guess any of the others ):

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

yeah, you're one of the person who would have the most difficulties with this meme :( sorry.

[scriva.livejournal.com]

4. X/Tokyo (it's the eye thing. ^_^)

After this, I cheated and just looked at your user profile. ^_^
But I'm less sure about these:

6. Buffy?
8. A Song of Ice and Fire?
10. Avatar?

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid you didn't get any right. Remember I did the meme before and I'm not repeating any of the fandoms I had people guess that previous time.

[goldjadeocean.livejournal.com]

I think 10 is House.

[shiinabambi.livejournal.com]

4 is Fullmetal Alchemist, 6 is Fruits Basket.

5 could be SO MANY THINGS.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

about 5, good point. However it's especially true in this case. Do take your two points though ^_^

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

You think smartly :D

[quietliban.livejournal.com]

I think #2 is Pirates of the Carribean, but honestly, I haven't got a clue about the rest of them. These are tricky (and I don't know many of your fandoms).

[darksumomo.livejournal.com]

#2 looks like Calypso from Pirates of the Caribbean III, but the rest have me stumped.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I admit they're a bit difficult ^^ but you got that one right.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I meant the Black Pearl, not Calypso, but that works too XD

awwww. maybe i should give clues to people...

[lacyintx.livejournal.com]

7) Kushiel (Jacquline Carey)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

yeap!

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I didn't get 1 and 4. DDD:

Glad to see I'm not the only one who mixed the Pearl and Tia Dalma, though...

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

haha, I was pretty vague, although I was surprised only amewarashi got CCS. FMA was very vague though.

I think I spinned the Pirate metaphore wayyy too long XD

[solesakuma]

Oooooooh, damn. I played it too safe (I was going to go for aVatar and FMA). XP
And I love your summaries. XP

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

haha, you might have won!

i think i was turning them more into enigma than summaries XD but i loved doing it ♥

[solesakuma]

that's the fun part: 'Duh, what does that have to do with... OH, I see!'

[scriva.livejournal.com]

Lol. I meant 9 was Avatar, I have no idea what swallowed my brain. But it doesn't really matter.
I would never have guessed CCS, even though I have seen several episodes, I don't know the complete number of people saved by Sakura.

I also hadn't thought that you used all your major fandoms already for the other riddle.

[shiinabambi.livejournal.com]

I should have gotten 8, 9 and 10. The rest I don't feel bad about, since they're not really my fandoms.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

oh, well. 1 retroactive point ^^

I meant the cards by "children", and I had to check it on the wikipedia. I think looking good and smiling to th camera was more of a clue anyway.

I also hadn't thought that you used all your major fandoms already for the other riddle.
It was written on my post!

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

more luck next time!

My, you have lots of fandoms ^^

[scriva.livejournal.com]

It was written on my post!

I must have overlooked it. ;) (I had missed the first riddle, so it didn't stick to my mind.)

Anyway, this kind of riddle is really nice, and now with the solution revealed you get the usual "Oh, yes, why didn't I think of this" answers. (That was my reaction to the Kushiel sentence.)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you find it fun, I might do it again ^^
