somebody explain "overkill" to me again?

[thelovemafia]

half_sleeping victimised me with D for the 5-character meme, which goes as follows:

I will give you a letter; now, think of 5 fictional characters whose name starts with that letter and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.

Really, for all my initial histronics about the choice of letter, this was quite easily done

Sleepy time, but:

[half_sleeping]

Bwa-ha-ha! >D

I win.

[thelovemafia]

Incidentally, that is true.

I did mine in an afternoon, while doing maths, watching a movie, reading Friedman and eating.

[half_sleeping]

Try again. XD

The icon? It is my stonedface.

hey! those are four activities I take four nights to do! one on each night... after work!

[thelovemafia]

Perfected first go. Second attempt unnecessary.

HAHAHAHAHA.

To quote Hibari, wao.

[starkissed]

Oh Door. ♥ I liked her heaps.

Also, bonus points for the Endless. *A*

[thelovemafia]

She was awesome, wasn't she? ♥ So young and so capable and so amazing.

*high-fives!* *grin* One should really never give D to anyone who's read Neil Gaiman: the Endless are a one-shot finish-the-quiz-off answer.

[nemesis]

HAHAHAHA THE ENDLESS--

Uhhh I can has letter? It looks like fun.

Just for you: A!

[thelovemafia]

The Endless. ;) Of course. Every self-respecting Gaiman reader should at least throw in one of the Endless in a D-selection; even if that doesn't figure in the final tally. ;)

Here you go with a letter: A! ♥

If you'd rather have another: I'll give you F. ♥

[nemesis]

ANATHEMA DEVICE AND AGNES NUTTER, ONE CHARACTER OR TWO-? Since they are from the same book and all. But. WHOA, must try to think of more names that begin with A. I'll see if I can use that!

You know, you overkill'd the meme.

Kind of hard.

[thelovemafia]

Sleep on it, maybe? Some of my best answers for the meme hit me just as I went to bed.

Anathema Device and Agnes Nutter are two characters to me, but why choose them when you could be doing Aziraphale?

Re: overkill: Good. *smiles* I am always determined never to do things by half-measures.

Also, I especially wanted to, because I was going WOE IS ME last night for thinking I wasn't able to make up five Ds.

I really like proving myself wrong when it's about things I thought I couldn't do.

[mmmketchup]

Ooh I did this before, but with songs instead of fictional charas :D

[thelovemafia]

I did too! ;)

[narugami]

Hmmm, my sisters are watching Supernatural right now, in fact :)

McKillip is really a genre unto herself, isn't she? I wouldn't say she's my favorite author, but she is always interesting.

And I don't think any version of Death can possibly be more charming (?!) than Pratchett's.

Can I have a letter?

you, lovely person -

[thelovemafia]

Letter game! : You get L. *smiles* Or G. Whichever you prefer. ♥

! WHY IS YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY SO AWESOME. DOES GOOD TASTE IN FANDOMS RUN IN YOUR FAMILY; OR WHAT.

I really love McKillip. ♥ I read Shadow of Ombria and it kind of blew me away: it's the kind of story I always wanted to read but never knew would exist. ♥

Who is your favourite author? *smiles* Pick a few! Most people who love books can't really pick just one.

XDXDXDXD IT IS TRUE. Pratchett's Death is so very, very endearing.

[narugami]

Hahaha I KNEW YOU WOULD PICK L XDDDDDD That's okay because I planned ahead and have answers for it. So there
