primsong: (prim's drabble write)
With thanks - or blame? - to both [personal profile] thisbluespirit and [personal profile] john_amend_all - I picked up that 5 fandoms meme today, except I don't seem able to think in 50-word bits just now, so after much pruning I've wrangled each one into a drabble-size instead. Brevity isn't always my strength.

1: Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order. Okie-dokie...

1. All Creatures Great and Small
2. Doctor Who
3. Lord of the Rings
4. The Scarlet Pimpernel
5. Watership Down

2: Visit this site (http://plagiarist.com/poetry/random) to find your first RANDOM POEM OF POWER. Write down the 5th line (yes, even if it's an E.E. Cummings poem and you wind up with an apostrophe). Repeat five times and - you guessed it - list 'em in alphabetical order! (No cheating, mind! This is a challenge and it's always been about creativity.)

3: I think you can see where this is going. Write a very quick 50-word half-drabble
(Pfft! I need more words than that!) for each fandom (try to do it all in one sitting - make your brain explode!), using the line from the poem as a prompt. You don't have to include it in the half-drabble - it's just inspiration.

4: Bravo! Have a cookie.


Well, here's the results! )

How did I not know that Patrick Troughton was in All Creatures Great and Small?? 

I've been slowly working my way into the third season of ACGS, doling the eps out to myself as treats to make them last - What an utter delight it was to find the Trout there in Darrowby!  They hid him underneath a cartload of beard and wig, but he was still magnificent, of course.

Yee! It reminded me of the when I watched Meglos (I think it was?) and Jacqueline Hill walked in ("Ahhh! It's Barbara!!!!" *boing boing*), heh.
