4: Huh, never thought about that in so many words before, bear with me a mo *ponders*
Responsibility, and the ways people deal with that - and as a related topic, family ties, the surprising ways they can often play out (for good and bad) and the contrast with ties of friendship.
During my time writing in the Robin Hood fandom, I had a lot of enjoyment working in the (basic - I'm not huge on massive research, too lazy) concepts of pre-Christian spirituality.
And of course, my best beloved theme of manlove. It's such a break from concerning myself with being a woman, and a boringly straight one at that.
8: I love writing 'Will' from my OF. He looks like he'd blow over in a strong wind, but to paraphrase his own words, if you crossed him, he'd stab you in the eye while you were looking the other way. He's loosely based on someone I was at college with, and a different person I was on an archaeological dig with - both of them were very, very funny, but used it as a reinforcement for the friendships they already had, and were inherently suspicious about anyone beyond that trying to laugh with them. I was enormously pleased, when posting the first few chapters, how much other people enjoyed reading him. Conveying humour isn't easy; it's so subjective *dons red nose and neon wig*
I'm not sure there's anyone I don't get something out of writing, but again from my OF, I 'have issues' with the mother of my main character. If I was going to be mildly deep about it, I'd probably say that as a mother myself, I recognise the possibility of her within me, but on a more basic level, I've seen far too many women like her, and I'm never going to want them in my kitchen eating cake. But there again, as a character I want to be believable, I have to have sympathy for her as well. She'd better darned well appreciate it.
Apologies for any typos/errors here, it's getting to my bedtime ;)

But there again, as a character I want to be believable, I have to have sympathy for her as well. that is a difficult perspective. i've ended up with more characters i wouldn't let in my house if they were freezing to death than not, but OH NO look at that i'm writing their stories from their POVs anyway. *sigh*
Harrrr, I like that very much about your writing - your characters have a lot of grub going on (I'm looking at YOU, Kyung Lee) and yet I simply want MORE of them on the page, because they're frankly bloody amazing to watch.
