[Poll] The not-secret not-meme

[thefourthvine]

So, there was this secret questions meme going around. And of course I was curious - I am, after all, made mostly of curiosity (actual formula: 70% curiosity, 22% sarcasm, 8% cheese) - but you had to agree to post the meme to get the questions. And I don't do memes here.

And then a certain person rended the veil of secrecy. I won't name her. (Okay, I will. It was toft_froggy. All hail her!) And. Well. I was kind of disappointed. I expected AWESOME questions. I expected questions WORTH keeping a secret. ("Who is fixing the current presidential election?" for example.) Instead, they were - well. I didn't think they were optimized for fannish use, let's put it that way.

So obviously I had no choice; I wrote my own version of the meme (with extensive help from best_beloved, as I was actually nursing the earthling while I did this). But I still don't post memes here. Instead, I am posting a poll! Please answer with names selected from your friends list. And please do answer. Unlike the original meme, these are things I seriously want to know.

Best fandom questions *ever*!!

Oh, wow.

The detective summons your friends list to the parlor to reveal everything. Who is the detective? Who are the usual suspects? And who is carrying the gun?

HEE

Yay! Fun questions.

I ran into that problem before. There was a secret club in kindergarten that I desperately wanted in on, and then when I was, it was... not at all interesting.

Stealing. This poll.

i answered this poll with my whole flist, not just the fandom folks... and most of the answers came from the baen half of the list instead of the fannish half. hence, people no one may know in the answers. but the answers do fit, trust me. :-D

You're right, that poll was way more exciting when I didn't know the answers. This poll, however, is awesome.

[copracat]

Ha! That was fun.

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

Just when I thought I could not love you more. (:

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

Best. Poll. Ever.

[paceus.livejournal.com]

I love your questions! They're much better than the secret meme questions.

[jadelennox]

I love you more every day. Just sayin'.

I'm so glad you shared this with the world. ♥ It's great to see everyone else's answers!

[liddle-oldman.livejournal.com]

You need to allow the answer "Me! Me! Ooo, ooo, me!!".

I am stealing this not-meme! ♥

These are fabulous questions. How does one go about becoming the sort of person who is suspected of having alligator underpants? This is the life I want in an alternate universe.

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Hooray! People think I'm a pirate! And a ninja!
AND THEY"RE RIGHT...
*vanishes*

Hee, this was fun! Thanks to musesfool for sending me this way. TFV, you have the bestest polls evar.

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

You SO win at cephalopods! \isis/

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

*grin* Thank you! (And, hey, as long as they're better than the original meme, my work here is done.)

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

*grin*

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

You're a fine one to talk, as I observe from the poll that you are a ninja.

...Why don't I have a ninja icon? THIS IS AN ERROR ON MY PART.

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And, truly, I think that secrets have the obligation to be interesting. I have been disappointed in this way in the past. (Also, the best means of keeping things private is to make sure they're really boring and then tell everyone. So if something isn't interesting, there's no point to keeping it a secret!)

And, wow, secret clubs in kindergarten. Either we weren't that advanced when I was wee, or I was so out of it that I didn't even know there was a secret. (The latter is more likely, I suspect.)

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Please do!

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

I entirely trust you, and of course you're to use your entire friends list. (Although selecting a non-fannish person to rule fandom with an iron fist - well, that would be bad. Also, unlikely to work. But the rest can totally apply to anyone.)
