Coming Very Soon: The Scans_Daily 30 Days Meme

[sd_admin]

We're always glad to see member-led theme weeks and activities here on scans_daily. Following the success of One Perfect Moment Week 2.0, we're happy to announce that benicio127, with assistance from  shelleymaree will be running Scans_Daily's very own 30 Days Meme starting tomorrow (Monday).

For those of you unfamiliar with these memes, each day  benicio127, shelleymaree, or one of the mod team, will present members with a simple question. You can then answer it as a comment in the parent post with an accompanying scan if you wish. It can be a two word response or a complete essay! If you think you want to include more scans than a single comment will comfortably accommodate, you can also make a post of your own.

So you all have advance notice to think about your answers and get scans organized, we present the list of questions in full:

Day 1: Favorite Female Character
Day 2: Favorite Male Character
Day 3: Favorite Friendship
Day 4: Character you would bring back from the dead
Day 5: Favorite rogues gallery
Day 6: Power or Ability You’d Like to Steal

Day 16: Favorite LGBTQ character
Day 17: Favorite legacy hero (Hero that took on a previous hero’s ID)

But we already know the answer to Best Butt.

[From: kingrockwell]

Then you'll have plenty of time to get scans ready!

[From: nezchan]

I'm sure icon_uk already has them all.

[From: icon_uk]

I might deliberately choose to NOT supply scans for some days, since it's not fair to other posters... or other butts come to that. Besides, I'm always open to persuasion.. it won't be an easy sell I grant you, but....

[From: perletwo]

C'mon now. There's always Booster Butt.

[From: icon_uk]

See, now that's the sort of case that I'd need to see well presented, with plenty of evidence. cf also Kyle Rayner, and I'm sure there are others. Gratuitous Butt Shot week wasn't THAT long ago was it?

[From: nezchan]

Ah yes, not necessarily the greatest for me, what with the people insisting Spirou was a child.

[From: darkblade]

To those unfamiliar with the series and the character it is a somewhat justifiable assumption.

[From: nezchan]

At the time, it was presented as frequent accusation, which as you can imagine makes me hesitant to repeat the experience.

[From: benicio127]

Hey, hey now, we can't just instantly declare Day 18 to be Dick Grayson day! Some of us may prefer female bootys...

[From: icon_uk]

A fair and valid point.... You're hopelessly WRONG of course, but it's a fair and valid point nevertheless! ;)

[From: runespoor]

Isn't it a truth universally acknowledged that Dick has the best butt in the DCU? Now, if it were legs...

[From: retro_nouveau]

Definitely not universally, but I'll concede that it's extremely close.

[From: thebigapricot]

I think people should be forced to think outside the butt box and NOT name Dick Grayson. He really is in the hall of butt fame, isn't he?

[From: nezchan]

Sort of the Platonic ur-butt.

[From: icon_uk]

There's a expression of the morphogenetic field I'd never considered!

[From: morgana006]

I dunno, a lot of people seem awfully appreciative of a certain gold posterior...

[From: sleepymax]

This sounds really fun. I'm not the most active member and recently I haven't been posting at all. I think this will change that, though.

[From: benicio127]

Aww, that's awesome, I'm glad you're excited! shelleymaree was the one who started this meme over on Tumblr, so we thought we'd bring it here.

[From: punishermax]

Day 16: Favorite LGBTQ character

I've always been curious, what does the Q in this mean?

[From: sleepymax]

According to Wikipedia:

To recognize this inclusion, a popular variant adds the letter Q for queer or those questioning their sexual identity (e.g., "LGBTQ").

[From: punishermax]

AND NOW I KNOW!

[From: terrykun]

Now you just need some lasers, and you'll have BOTH halves of the battle!

[From: perletwo]

If the scene you want has already been posted, should we just post with a link to it and maybe a preview image? I'm thinking here of least fave male character.

[From: kingrockwell]

That sounds like a good idea, though in such a case, certainly feel free to expound on your thoughts regarding the character it's posted for!

[From: taggerung301]

this is gonna be fun
:D

[From: retro_nouveau]

benicio127, shelleymaree: This is such an awesome idea. I hate you both.

[From: benicio127]

:D

[From: pyrotwilight]

What's a PoC character?

Can we give more than one reply for each?

[From: kingrockwell]

PoC = Person of Color

[From: suzene]

So, for #29, what qualifies? Elseworlds? Fanart? Fanfic?

[From: angelophile]

You left out subtext.

[From: suzene]

...I may have to fight icon_uk for this one too.

[From: icon_uk]

Bring it on! ;)

[From: runespoor]

I'd say Elseworlds could count as canon, even if it's not the main continuity, it's still stamped with the seal of official material. I guess not-so-canonical could cover fanworks, subtext, reader's whim...
