Do you have fictional buttons, character constellations, or themes that you particularly love to read (and/or write) about? Are there clichés that you love?
-rheasilvia

This will sound slightly absurd, but I didn't catch on till this year that I have a definite thing for thwarted apocalypses wherein the world (whether it's the microcosm of a relationship ( Read more... )

What are your thoughts about Sherlock series 3 and/or series 4?
-alltoseekI fear that my answer on this score is brief, and probably not terribly engaging. I didn't like Season 3 much at all, and I know absolutely nothing about Season 4. I love Seasons 1 and 2, still, and that's about where the scope of what I count as canon ends. The screenwriting ( Read more... )

Retrospective
-My choice (no write-in)

Today is one of the few days for which I didn't receive a topic from someone (if you still would like to request a topic, just leave a comment on that post with the open day and the prompt of your choice). That made the decision to trawl the very first year of posts in this blog, 2002, a relatively easy one ( Read more... )

What's a food you feel is under-appreciated, and memories associated with it?
-rinue

I'm not sure that they count as under-appreciated, but in the microcosm that is my sphere of influence, mushrooms seem to be. I can hardly remember a time I haven't liked them, and this is mostly because I have a fantastic early memory associated with them. I have ( Read more... )

You used to post link round-ups of your poetry acceptances at Strange Horizons as they got published. Can you link all of the published ones?
-AnonymousThank you for poking! I've been regular about posting the titles of acceptances and names of the poets, but you're right that I've fallen off posting links to these pieces once they're finally ( Read more... )

How do you go about structuring a poetry collection? Do you think about it analytically or do you let the poems come together in a subconscious way?

". . . this is how I feel about the act of writing, about all of the voices we pin to the page (we belong more to them than they to us)." Talk about how you feel about the voices you write, whether in fandom or original work?

If I recall, you were recently diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. Do you think your neurotype has influenced the ( Read more... )

Who is your ideal reader?
-wordweaverlynn

My ideal reader is someone who, like you (and like Brie yesterday, and like everyone in the days to come), is open-minded and great-hearted enough to engage with texts to the point of asking questions and offering prompts that matter. Without input from readers, writing is a lonely endeavor; therefore, the ideal reader ( Read more... )

Pick a date in December and give me a topic about which you'd like to see me write that day. As people give me their date and topic, I'll add them to the schedule below. I've never seen this meme before, but it looks kind of amazing. I'm trying to keep blogging, and this, I believe, will be a great motivator on the continuity front.
