30 Days Meme: days 8-11

[clocketpatch]

Catching up on a whole bunch of days at once. These are all short answers anyway, and probably happier sitting together in one post than being lonely little paragraphs on their own.


8. Crackiest Moment.

The whole show is such crackalackin madness that this was a bit tricky. I was originally going to just wave at Gambit, but I already gave it a post, and while the wig!hat and Servalan in red is undoubtedly one of the most random moments of the series, I am instead going to give the crack award to another firm fan favourite:

Avon's Epic Battle with the chair in Animals. Because what is that even? And they just keep on filming and acting like it didn't even happen. But it so did.

And I don't have a .gif of it, which is sad. If I did it would be right here.

Runners-ups include: The bits of Sarcophagus where the plot is revealed via interpretive dance, Avon being sold to Servalan that time, the furry, Zygon babies having their massive temper-tantrum at the end of The Web, and Colin Baker's massive gun.



9. How would you convert someone to your show

My attempts at this thus far haven't been that great. Apparently, "talking about it excessively" is not a good strategy (though I did convince a friend to watch up to Cygnus Alpha, she has informed me that I am a horrible person for stealing those hours of her life, so... probably not successful, even if she did like Avon). I am now contemplating writing cross-over fic with her favourite show that does not have much fic, but this would probably be evil, so maybe I shouldn't do that...




10. What show related fan works would you like to see?

For things that don't exist, but I wish did: There are several prompts on the meme I'd like to see filled, but the best way of making that happen would probably be to do it myself. I'd rather like a decent, "Which Blake's 7 Character are you Quiz", because I'm endlessly amused by those sorts of things. I'd also really love a graphic novel of some sort and wish that I had the patience/skillz to make one.

The last book of Hellhound (even though I've only read the first volume, I'm already sad about it not being complete), and that unwritten Susanne Lovette fic aralias has shown the summary for a few times.

For things that do/did exist, but are not on the internet: All of the Avon/Servalan fics from the Hip Deep archive which taunt me with summaries of their non-existence. the ability to easily skim through all of the fan era zines for the great fics I know I'd be super interested in if I knew they existed.



11. Worst Decision

For the show: Hiring Ben Stead three times and then not editing his awfulness. Whhyyyyy???

For the characters: You're an intelligent, educated man, Blake. Why did you think this was a good idea?!?!

I borrowed series 1 some years ago but didn't get very far. Then I picked up the second series and started again and was instantly hooked. I like season 1 but no, it isn't grabby.
