A meme, nicked from djcati

[active_apathy]

The original meme, near as I can divine, calls for people to guess fandoms from a list of ten summary sentences. djcati had 19, some of which were fairly cryptic, and not all of which were summaries.

That way seemed fun. There'll be 32 of them, ranging from stuff I like to stuff that provokes all-out fangirlishness. And while they're all references, they aren't necessarily summaries.
