- Comment with "Hit me!" or whatever else you want to comment with.
- I'll respond by asking you five questions.
- Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
- Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people (if you want).
1. How'd you get into Transformers?
I watched Beast Wars when it aired, but I have a terrible memory, so when I re-watched it recently, the only thing that I could remember very well was the music for the opening credits. In 2007, when Liz and I first saw trailers for Transformers, we laughed and figured it would be silly (we assumed that they would be using the G1 robot designs, which would look pretty goofy and clunky). And then we actually saw it and it was pretty darn cool.
2. What's the easiest part of writing for you?
If you mean the components of writing, then writing dialogue. I'm horrid with writing action, and my descriptions feel lifeless and repetitive.
If you mean the process of writing, then capturing the idea/point for the story. When I get an idea, I can usually something that expresses that idea and what I want to do with it. After that, it's like pulling teeth. So I've got a buttload of prompts I want to do, but as soon as I open Word, all my juice is gone. I might pound out a few paragraphs, but they feel awkward and stilted and I erase them.
3. If you could live in a fictional world, which one would you pick and why?
Well...at first I would say a TF 'verse, because it would increase my probabilities of having sex with a giant alien robot by some small percent, but it would also increase my chances of getting killed by a giant alien robot by 10000%.
So instead I'll say Mass Effect, which may sound stupid because I haven't played it, but I would love to go to outer space and chill with aliens and explore their cultures. And also bang sexy Turians.
4. What's something you used to think was cool that you think is ridiculous or embarrassing now?
Most manga/anime. There's a few series I still like, but most of it is just formulaic and shallow.
5. Are you a thrill-seeker?
I am the least thrill-seekingest person ever. I worry obsessively over the most mundane things that could be dangerous - for example, when I drive, I am always nervous that if I don't hold my hands in certain places on the steering wheel, my arms will be snapped and mutilated if I were to crash. If I can't get in contact with someone when I need to, my first instinct is that they are dead. I'm afraid of everything.
