fablespinner:
1)Why do you like the series?
The characters. It's all about the characters. I love some of them, hate others, but almost everyone is really interesting. And while I'm not a huge fan of mech anime, GW has this sci-fi like aspect to it that's also cool.
2) Favorite character and why:
Lady Une. She is her own evil twin. No, but seriously- from the very beginning Une is the one I've most easily been able to figure out. I understood her, connected with her. Not that I'm like her; in a lot of ways she's...not what I would want to be. Half-crazy, a murderer, Princess Leia hair and the pink jacket... Also Treize, because he is arrogant and mad in the old-style sense of the word, death and grace in one. And the looks don't hurt.
3) Worst character:
Oh boy. That's a five-way tie. Tubarov, Otto, Duke Dermail, General Septum, and Dekim Barton. Tubarov is a creep. Otto just...argh, it's Otto, you know? Dermail- hell, let's not go there. Septum annoyed me. And Dekim Barton- argh. Endless Waltz was several hours of crap, for the most part, and I think he was the worst of it.
4)Favorite part of the series:
Treize and Wufei's sword duel, and the whole Lady Une lets the pilots escape, gets shot by Tubarov, goes into coma, comes out of coma- oh hell, I need to watch this stuff again, it's been too long and I don't remember.
5)Most hated part of the series:
The first few episodes, before the story really gets going.
6)Sanest person in the series:
You're kidding, right? They're all nuts. Um... Okay. Catherine. And Noin.
7) Craziest person:
Right. Zechs, Dorothy, Treize, Heero, Duo, Quatre, Wufei, Tubarov, Duke Dermail, Relena, Lady Une... you get the idea. But really...most crazy. Okay...Zechs. Jeeze, blow up the world why don't you? Oh wait...been there, tried that. Nutcase.
8)Most exciting part of the series:
The last few episodes.
9)Most boring:
The narrator's introduction. Also Relena's school stuff.
10) Yaoi or Het, list parings and explain your reasoning:
Trowa and Quatre- What, are you blind?
Treize and Lady Une- my own pet obsession. It was the bathtub thing that started me on this, probably. I don't know about you, but I sure as hell wouldn't be drawing my boss's bath, unlesss...
Treize and Zechs- Come on. Two guys that good looking have to be getting some soemwhere.
Zechs and Noin- I think it's the way they talk to each other. Like all the others, I just...see it.
TTDSDG, Mariemaya and Delane- if you have to ask you wouldn't understand. I claim total responsability for this one, though Ash, D, and Orla created Delane. All the other kids were hooking up, and Mari was lonely...and a little nuts, and... yeah.
Along the same lines, from my fics, Walker and a semi-OC, Alice McKenzie (my extrapolation of the OZ officer we see doing Une's hair) Because I wrote them working together in Greater Angels & Lesser Demons, and they made it clear they wanted to be more than friends. Who am I to argue?
11.) Favorite fanfiction author:
I like so many that I'm not going to list them, because I'm sure to forget somebody.
12)Favorite fanfiction and why:
See above. But there are a lot I could read over and over again, some obscure character POVs and a couple multichapter epics, TTDSDG being the largest of them.
13)Favorite pairing and why:
Treize & Une, because it clicks for me.
14)Worst pairing and why:
I don't really have an answer for this one. Offhand I can't think of a pairing that bugs me- okay, I take that back. Saw a Zechs/Relena once that scared me. Also anybody/Dr. J or ome of the other docs...or Howard. I just... it's the squick factor. NObody needs to go there.
