gacked from [livejournal.com profile] yhlee :

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions.
3. You should then update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You should include this and an offer to interview someone else in the post [only if you want to].
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed you should ask them 5 questions [only if you want to].



1. Who is your favorite character in Avatar: The Last Airbender?

First, it was Zuko. It totally blindsided me, from from episode three, when we find out about his backstory, I was head-over-heels he was a smart, angry, bad guy who had reasons for what he was doing and was going about them in a clever way, and bonus points, he wasn't really bad, he was just making (dumb) choices because those looked like the best options at the time. So for a long time, I loved him just the tiniest smidge more than Katara. And then WAT and SR happened, and fandom got their hate-on for Katara (I am affected by what other people think, one way or another) and I decided she was totally my favorite character, for all the reasons I loved her before (the mix of sweet and tart, that she was the responsible one) and also because she had this delicious dark side, and if you wouldn't hunt down the man who killed your mother and want to make him pay, well, you clearly didn't love her like I loved her.

2. What first attracted you to writing?

Honestly, I can't remember. I was always telling stories (I can remember telling my mom about a dream I had, and then starting to tell her what SHOULD have happened next). I do remember when I first admitted to out loud that I wanted to be a writer, because I had really wanted to do something practical, and an English degree wasn't it. (That was when I was fourteen, and I was on the couch watching the rain.)

3. Shower or bath?

On a day to day basis, shower, but I do love a good long soak. (I'd actually kill for one right about now.)

4. What is your favorite season?

Summer

5. What kind of music, if any, do you listen to when studying?

Just about everything on my iPod is fair game while studying, except for Rasputina and a couple other very... talky songs. That said, I'll lean towards the more melodic and instrumental when I need to concentrate.

Yay, easy questions~ I was worried you'd throw something like 'Ino, Sakura or Karin' at me. Poor Bella...
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008 04:06 pm (UTC)
I know Bela pretty well, so it was easy to pick tortourous questions.

Sunday, October 5th, 2008 02:50 pm (UTC)
Zuko and Katara! Mommy issues FTW.

Interview me!

Monday, October 6th, 2008 06:16 am (UTC)
Yes! The awesome mommy issue mirroring! The Fire/Water family mirroring! So goddamned cool!

1.) What are bacon-chocolate bars?

2.) Favorite Mercedes Lackey series.

3.) Who to you prefer Elizabeth with in PoTC?

4.) If you could choose to erase one canon pairing in Avatar, what would it be?

5.) Are you a morning or evening person?
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008 07:06 am (UTC)
1.) Bacon-chocolate bars by Vosges, maker of funky chocolate bars! Basically a chocolate bar with bits of bacon inside. Better than it sounds.

2.)...As I glance at the bookshelf automatically to check out which ones I have. XD I liked the Mage Winds because of the focus on Elspeth, who was one of my favorite characters alongside Kero. (Who was also there, being awesome.) Firesong grated on my nerves, but I bore with it. Tayledras in general kind of rub me the wrong way. (Still better than Vanyel, who spends every book alternately whining and being a complete, smugly righteous martyr. I couldn't find that character likable at all. I think I enjoyed his appearance in the Mage Winds trilogy only because it made Firesong look like a fool, which he needed. Badly.)

3.) Will. Not because Will is my favorite character or that he has the most dynamic relationship with her, but because they are so blissfully happy together. They truly love and support each other, even when they have their problems, and aren't separated even with more problems than any couple should have to go through. Will scored extra points with me when he taught her how to fight, something Norrington would never have done. Jack wouldn't be faithful and she'd probably kill him. Again. They would both sacrifice everything for each other. (Elizabeth just happens to be craftier and better at the whole rescuing thing on the whole.) I didn't like how they showed her as waiting like a good wife with her son at the end of the movie credits, though. Left sort of a bad taste in my mouth.

http://reimars.livejournal.com/33490.html This is a nice take on it, though!

4.) Kataang. The characters have zero chemistry, Katara never seemed interested, the maturity gap is too great, Aang never supported her enough or saw things from her point of view, Katara shouldn't be tied down to be the Avatar's glorified babysitter and be dragged along into everything he does, she needs to have some life all of her own. She was mother to her family in the South Pole, and mother to Sokka, Toph, and Aang during the journey. She should have been able to have some time of her own with people she didn't need to don that role with. She needed to experiment with other guys who weren't complete assholes. Did I mention she didn't seem interested? That it looked like Long Feng pulled a Joo Dee on her?

5.) Totally evening. I just feel more alive at night.
Sunday, October 5th, 2008 03:43 pm (UTC)
