PZ tagged me with an interesting meme experiment. Now, pay attention:
Below are a set of questions below that are all of the form, “The best [subgenre] in [genre] is …”.
Copy the questions, and before answering them, you may modify them
in a limited way, carrying out no more than two of these operations:
- You can leave them exactly as is.
- You can delete any one question.
- You can mutate either the genre, medium, or subgenre
of any one question. For instance, you could change “The best time
travel novel in SF/Fantasy is…” to “The best time travel novel in
Westerns is…”, or “The best time travel movie in SF/Fantasy is…:, or
“The best romance novel in SF/Fantasy is…”. - You can add a completely new question of your choice to the end of the list, as long as it is still in the form “The best [subgenre] in [genre] is…”.
You must have at least one question in your set, or you’ve gone
extinct, and you must be able to answer it yourself, or you’re not
viable.
Then answer your possibly mutant set of questions. Please do include a link back to the blog you got them from, The 19th Floor, to simplify tracing the ancestry, and include these instructions.
My parent is Pharyngula:
1. The best dystopian novel in SF/Fantasy is…

2. The best romantic movie in Historical Fiction is:

2. The best sexy song in rock is…

I’m spreading this meme to:
I know this is a little complicated, but you guys are smart or else you wouldn’t have your very own homestead on these here internets.
