5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb/Wikiquote search functions.


We've played this before here, but never with so many potential choices! Remember - no web searching for the answers!

1. Do you know what the definition of a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed. - Serenity (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] mizzy2k)

9. Oh, the reason I called... Could you find out who else is in town? I've made two spooks and a ghoul already, so if they've double-booked the job, and/or they're going to kill me, I'd like to know. If you could find that out, that'd be great. - Grosse Pointe Blank (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] mizzy2k)

10. Did anyone ever tell you, you look like a penis with that little hat on? - A League of Their Own (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] eccequambonum)

11. Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing. - Iron Man (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] mizzy2k)

13. Let me put it to you this way: try building something taller than three stories in the Tiangjin province, and see if his name comes up.

So, um, we're having a spam challenge over at [livejournal.com profile] leverageland. What this means is that I need you guys to click here and comment to the post with "I SUPPORT TEAM GRIFTER!".

That's it. Roll your eyes, laugh - I don't care what you do as long as you click and comment!

PLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Ordinarily I would offer bribes, but as I am deep in my commitments to [livejournal.com profile] leveragexchange, I'm simply going to have to settle for looking as pathetically needy and helpless as possible. [livejournal.com profile] mizzy2k, on the other hand, is offering fic here, and we're on the same team!

And she's an awesome writer, with a fannish bredth of knowledge that might actually exceed mine.)

Reply to this post with ICON ME! and I will pick five of your icons.
- Make a post (including this info) and talk about the icons I chose.
- Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
- This will create a never ending cycle of icon glee

Icons picked by [livejournal.com profile] alikat7.



I got this icon from a [livejournal.com profile] leverageland icon exchange. Aside from the striking, almost ethereal composition, it really captures for me how complex, tragic and gloriously fucked up the character of Nathan Ford is.



This one wss made for me by [livejournal.com profile] atatteredrose during the [livejournal.com profile] leverageland Halloween Gift Exchange. Faith and Dean are the first 'ship I've ever sailed that inspired me to create a world of fic. They're hot, sexy, and gloriously fucked up to write.



Made by [livejournal.com profile] faithforgiven. I picked this up during a hunt to increase my 'ship oriented icons. I love the composition, and the simplicity of the caption is so at odds with the nature of the couple that I couldn't resist it.



I actually did this manip myself. Nate and Faith's familial relationship is my current favorite writing subject. I'm still amazed that I made all the connections between them, and that they have so much potential fic material.

I often say that Nate + his daddy issues = my real OTP! The subtext in this icon is that the cap of Nate is from "The Three Card Monte Job".



This one was made by [livejournal.com profile] weaselett. Writing "The Ties That Bind Job" with [livejournal.com profile] hickumu gave us the first hints of Faith/Eliot subtext. Writing "The End of Days Job" gave us actual hints of Faith/Parker subtext - completely unexpected, and as yet virtually unexplored by either of us.

Swiped from [livejournal.com profile] whuffle - let's see if I can do this one better than I did with the "30 Days of Television"!

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
Day Ten: One confession.

Today is DAY 1
Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.

1: She's a really awesome person. Please don't be a psycho and please give her a chance.
2: The time you are spending at work isn't worth everything you're missing out on. I've been there. I know.
3: I guess it's your job to worry about things, but sometimes I wish you weren't so good at it.
4: I really do want to be you when I finally grow up.
5: I'm sorry you have such a small penis, but that doesn't make up for the hell you seem determined to put the rest of us through.
6: I wish there was some way to force you to see how loving and wonderful and amazing you are. You are one of the most beautiful people I know (inside and out), and it kills me every time you refuse to see that.
7: After all this time, my life still makes more sense with you in it.
8: I miss you guys too. You have no idea how much.
9: That time when you posted about nobody ever offering to write fic for you, and my offer was the only one you accepted is still one of the best ego-boosts I've ever gotten.
10: You are hands down the coolest person I know.

Two days behind...not bad getting to Day 20 without a miss. And, I posted actual blog content in the two days I missed, so...

30 Days of Writing! )

21. Do any of your characters have children? How well do you write them?

All of the original Terran Defense Star characters have kids. I think I write them just fine - but given the types of stories I write, character potential for young kids is fairly limited. Teenagers, natch, are a different story.

20. What are your favorite character interactions to write?

Anything involving conversations. Dialogue is my strength - anything where I don't have to plot out lots of action is aces with me.

19. Favorite minor that decided to shove himself into the spotlight and why!

Paul Cruthers. He was originally just a name to fill out the "second generation" of the Terran Defense Star. Then I made him Altrutian, and tied him into Antiro's story, and the possibilities just became oh so much more than they'd been.

18. Favorite antagonist and why!

Probably Shawn Beecher from the Elemental Mages quartet. He's the only clear-cut antagonist I think I've ever written. Maybe Secretary Michaels from Four Angels, but I haven't gotten far enough into that story yet.

I don't really ever set out to write individual antagonists. For me, the antagonist is typically some sort of institution - usually governmental or religious in nature.

16. Do you write romantic relationships? How do you do with those, and how “far” are you willing to go in your writing? ;)

*snort* How far? As far as the plot demands. Aside from the sex, yes, I've written romantic relationships in the past. I don't think I have any problems with execution - I haven't had any complaints yet.

15. Midway question! Tell us about a writer you admire, whether professional or not!

[livejournal.com profile] rachelcaine. Not only does she tell a kick ass story with incredibly fleshed out and realistic characters, she is nice, approachable, a fantastic conversationalist, and her discipline when it comes to her craft is something I constantly strive for in my own work.

14. How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us?

Unless I'm writing modern day, as in "Four Angels", my locations tend to be entirely plot driven. They grow and morph as the requirements of the story demand.

Then my writers' group smacks me around a bit and I tweak them into some logical final state.
