1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you read part of but never finished.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them.

The unguessed favorites from that characters meme, mostly because some of the ones who weren't guessed were the ones I wanted to talk about most.
Babylon 5-Lennier. True story, my first Mary Sue was in this fandom and got with Lennier. Don't judge :( I am a sucker for the unrequited love aspect, and that's why for a long time I loved Marcus (also I was twelve and v. v. shallow), but at some point Lennier overtook him. I adore Lennier.
Honey and Clover-Takemoto. See, the thing is. I love a huge number of characters in H&C (NOMIYA AYU MORITA YAAAAY) but. You can't beat Takemoto for me. Especially first season Takemoto. He's just so...sweet and nice and normal, and I always, without exception, love his voiceovers, which I don't think has ever happened to me with any other character. He's kind of a stealth favorite too--I started writing up my response for why I love Nomiya best, and then halfway through I was like "Oh right, actually, Takemoto."
Phoenix Wright-Maya Fey. What. Adorable sidekick is adorable.
Princess Tutu-Rue. I really love all of the main four in Tutu, but Rue wins out for me because I really love her voice actress in the Japanese. Which is kind of weird, but...I love the job she does with it.
Card Captor Sakura-Meilin. See, the thing is, I've got a type. For anime boys, it's retards who dye their hair (see: Nakatsu, that guy from Ai Shiteruze Baby, Tidus), and for girls, it's the I love you therefore I will yell at you and later have an emotional scene wherein I show weird maturity and give you up (see: Meilin, Kagura). Runner up here is Nakuru, for being Nakuru (and not Nakatsu, as I originally typoed), and Eriol, for being Eriol.

1. My username is ______ because ______.
chash because it is my childhood nickname, and I like it.
2. My name is _____ because ______.
Charlotte, because that's what my parents named me.
3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
"So when you say forever, can't you see?" with the subtitle "You've already captured me," which is from "The Sun and the Moon" by Mae, because it is a kickass song of kickassery.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
"Painted Skies," which is also from "The Sun and the Moon," because I like to have themes. I can't remember why I chose that particular phrase for my flist.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
because I loev Rydia forever. When FF4 first came out my brother played it, she was the character who was named after me (being 1. young and 2. female), so I always loved her.
6. My LJ name (you know how you can change that sort of sub-name thing?) is:
"Just like the sun, but more like the moon," still from "The Sun and the Moon," because it was one of the ones that was about the person. I change all of these fairly often--I liked my last LJ name ("I feel like getting confessional") better, but also have LJ name ADD. Alas. Life is hard.

ANOTHER MEME WHY NOT stolen from Box even though I have weird American fandoms :(
- post a list of 16 fandoms.
- have your friends list guess your favorite character from each one.
- when guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.
01. Babylon 5
02. Runaways: Chase Guessed by
phrenk. I mean. It's Chase. He is retarded and amazing and funny and fucked up. I can't even describe my love of him.
03. DC: Kon-El/Superboy Guessed by
gaisce. Well. Clearly.
04. Lord of the Rings: Pippin Guessed by
phrenk. I like happy characters who grow up and remain awesome, and Pippin is cute and fun and has an awesome character arc, so yes.
05. Final Fantasy X: Tidus Guessed by
laserdragon. Tidus was that annoying whiny kid who I hated, but then by halfway through the game I was grudgingly fond of him and then three-quarters of the way through I realized he was my one true video game boyfriend and amazing. None of these are really reasons, just rambling.
06. Hanakimi: Nakatsu Guessed by
gaisce. Hanakimi is actually a pretty hard call for me in terms of favorites, but I'm a sucker for hyperactive boys with unrequited loves. Also, retarded ones. loev nakatsu.
07. Heroes: Ando Guessed by
phrenk. Ando and Hiro are both basically my favorites, and their relationship is amazing, but I do love Ando most for being special (except not) and awesome friend while also being terrible friend.
08. Honey and Clover
09. The Office (US): Jim Guessed by
othercriteria. See, the thing is, I'm not a huge fan of season four Jim, or even season three Jim, but my love of season two Jim is so strong it overcomes it.
10. 30 Rock: Tracy Jordan Guessed by
sninkle. See, I love Liz Lemon long time, but Tracy Jordan is INSANE and also I'm not kind of afraid sometimes that I will grow up to be a way less cool version of him, which lets me enjoy him more from an objective standpoint. Also: Samurai I-Am-Awry. Yes.
11. Jonny Quest: Jonny Guessed by
annagail147. I have a type. That type is...Jonny Quest, basically. :(
12. Veronica Mars: Wallace Guessed by
phrenk. I LOVE YOU WALLACE I am a big fan of snarky, loyal best friends, and Wallace is one of those, who is also adorable. Yes.
13. Friday Night Lights: Saracen Guessed by
phrenk. Not so much in season two, but I love Saracen's season one plotline, getting confident, getting his girl, and still always looking out for his grandma.
14. Phoenix Wright
15. Princess Tutu
16. Card Captor Sakura

The Hypothetical AU Meme: Take any one of the fandoms you know I write in, and give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU,superhero AU, Ancient Rome, etc). I will then explain what story from your chosen fandom I would write for your chosen type of AU.

Meme. That I am doing. I swear. Of course, I keep saying that and then failing at memes, so I figure you guys will someday stop believing me. In which case...I won't get comments? IDK. Anyway! From

I have tons and tons of card-making materials leftover from Christmas, so! Leave your address here if you want a Valentine's card. If you leave a fandom/pairing as well, I'll include a sappy Valentine's drabble. Comments are screened.
Alive! In North Carolina! Was failing at Christmas spirit, but we watched Love Actually, and now I feel better about the world. Happy holidays, everybody!
PS: I never comment to these kinds of things, but. I did comment to this OTP meme thing, mostly because I had to explain to my cousins yesterday that I had several people whom my family referred to as my internet girlfriend.
Other highlights, their language in which every word rhymed with douche. Nothing that followed that was my fault.

Dear Santa...Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Wednesday on a flight to Colorado Springs, I stole the emergency flight information card (-40 points). In July I stole Overall, I've been naughty (-5740 points). For Christmas I deserve a lump of coal! Sincerely, |

For the first five people who reply to me and re-post this challenge, I will send you something.It might be something I've made just for you, or something cool from my collection, it might be a mix CD or a book, a graphic or something else that I think you might like. Whatever it is, I promise that I will get it to you in 365 days or less or you are encouraged to constantly insult and harass me.The only thing you need to do in order to participate is to be one of the first five to reply to this, AND post this entry on YOUR live journal - 'cause it's fun to give people stuff
Also, those letters I said I was sending? Those are going to happen. Eventually. When I am less out of it. I even have some written (had them weeks ago!) and failed to send them. Good times.
