Following Friday (8)

 
 

Q.If you could have characters from a particular book meet and form an epic storyline with characters from a particular TV series, which would you choose and why? 

 

1. I want Sam and Dean from Supernatural to meet the "vampires" from Twilight and go on a mass killing spree. Sorry Twilight fans.

 

2. I'd put teenage Savannah from Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Other World books in The Secret Circle. She's a more interesting character than any of the six teens in that show, and she could probably help them get their issues in order faster than they can by themselves.

 

3. Finally, just for fun, I want to transplant Harry Potter into True Blood for a season. It could be the evil wizard season! I think it would be hilarious to stick a relatively wholesome (but still pretty tough) character into the violent oversexed world of Sookie Stackhouse.

 

I could invent more, but I'll just leave it at three.

    #1. So much agreement. The whole Twilight thing just irritates me.

    Never seen True Blood, but I think Harry Potter would combine in cool ways with a lot of things! :)

    I love your combinations! I wouldn't mind Sam and Dean taking out a few Cullens either **runs and hides from legions of fans.** I haven't seen The Secret Circle, but I read the first book in the series, and I'd agree with you that Savannah is a much more interesting character (though, like I said, I can't speak for the new TV show).

    Have a great weekend!

    Hahahaha as long as Sam and Dean left Jacob alone I'd be cool with that! And seeing Harry Potter in anything outside of Hogwarts would be epic!

    #1. Yes it would be fun, even when I'm a fan myself.
    #3. Haven't thought of it. It would create hell when magick clashes with vampires. Especially vampires like Eric.

    WInchesters vs. Cullens--the ultimate showdown! I bet our favorite pair of brothers would win, despite being mortal.

    I loved the idea of putting Sam & Dean into Twilight (I'd pay to see that killing spree), but Harry Potter in True Blood made me spit Coke all over my desk . . . I love it!

    Hopping through. Harry Potter and True Blood / Sookie. That'd be a quick growing up for the Hogwarts kids.

    Burgandy Ice--I was mostly sticking with classic horror monsters, mainly the Universal ones. I did forget the mummy, which I'm kind of sad about. Also, I guess Big Foot might count. I think of dragons more as mythological creatures than monsters.
