Yes on all but #13. And extra SPECIAL yes for pointing out that typo. ::facepalm::

Posted by [identity profile] nentari.livejournal.com
Ooh, I'm surprised I guessed all of those - #14 and #16 were the only two I was really sure about.
I'm looking forward to seeing what #13 is (if you think about it, the definition makes a lot of sense for Superman too).

Oh, hell yes. It totally fits. But I think someone will guess it. Anyway, VERY well done. :-)

I was also thinking Fables for #18 but am not too familiar with it, other than thinking "former celebrities" might mean old fairy tale characters.

Absolutely! Well done.

Hee. I used to have a friend who was insanely in love with Adrian Pasdar and she showed me the first two episodes. (And then I wrote a weird little crossover with Angel where I slashed Profit and Lindsey for great justice.)

Nope. (It was [livejournal.com profile] tiferet, actually. I still am friends with you, I hope.)

Oddly enough, though, I think the first time we interacted on LJ was over Profit. You left me a comment on said crossover.
