Because I haven't done a lj meme for a while. I got this one from [livejournal.com profile] akashasheiress .

Give me a character from any fandom, tv show, movie, book you know that I know and I will tell you:

a. My favorite thing about that character.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
f. Their ship from hell.
g. Their song.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
i. The last bad dream they had.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.

Mr Newman does indeed come across as a bit of a strange character - I've seen him on TV, as a talking head on BBC4-type-programmes (you know what I mean!) about cult TV and/or SF literature, and he does present the image of a great British eccentric, I'll agree. Nevertheless, he has written a lot of very cool stuff, both under his own name and under his pseudonym "Jack Yeovil". He wrote some tie-in novels for the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay RPG which, believe it or not, really transcend the boundaries of RPG tie-in fiction (no, really! I'm not kidding - they're really good!). ;D I'm kind of overwhelmed that you've met him, because I've for years thought of him as a pretty cool dude (you know what they say about never meeting your heroes)!

I'll see your Kim Newman and raise you a Cherie Blair! Yes, the former Mrs-PM is indeed the most famous living pupil of my former alma mater (from the days when it was a posh convent school back in the 60s, before it became a slightly disreputable comprehensive - her father was an actor in Til Death Us Do Part, so presumably could afford it!). I've shaken her hand and had a certificate off her! ;D It was her or our second-most-famous living pupil, Anne Robinson... O.o

It was 1993, though.
He had't written much.
Anne Robinson? 8-o
(We've killed the thread again!)

Yes...Anne @#?!ing Robinson, who will be forever dead to me for a) what she said in the Daily Mirror about Hillsborough and b) her suggestion that the part of Liverpool I grew up in used to be a nice area before people like my parents moved in there from less-posh adjoining areas in the 70s. So, really, Cherie was much the better choice. :D
