4. Books or Movies: Books

5. Windows or Mac: Mac. I am hopeless with Windows. 6. DC or Marvel: DC, aka: Alan Moore. 7. Xbox or Playstation: Xbox. We just got a PS4, and I am playing Horizon Zero Dawn and like, the buttons?????? I keep getting confused lol. 8. Dragon Age or Mass Effect: Dragon age (I am just not as into space and lasers and aliens as I am into forest and arrows and and elves.) 9. Night Owl or Early Rise: Night Owl. 10. Cards or Chess: Cards. 11. Chocolate or Vanilla: Chocolate. 12. Vans or Converse: Ha! No. Neither of these work for me. Docs? 13. Lavellan, Trevelyan, Cadash or Adaar: Lavellan. Though I loved my Trevelyan who married Sera. <3 14. Fluff or Angst: Both. I think @thevikingwoman said it best in her comment on my last update for TDS, “a deep sated weary happiness.” 15. Beach or Forest: Forest. 16. Dogs or Cats: Dogs. 17. Clear Skies or Rain: Rain. (Where I live, you learn to appreciate moisture.) 18.Cooking or Eating Out:  Eating out. 19. Spicy Food or Mild Food: Not too spicy! But I like spicy. 20. Halloween/Samhain or Solstice/Yule/Chirstmas: Christmas. I love Christmastime so much. 21. Would you rather forever be a little too cold or a little too hot: A little too cold. Probably just because I’m used to it. I run kind of cold. I am always a little cold. 22. If you could have a superpower, what would it be: No sleep. Like the vampires in Twilight. 23. Animation or Live Action: Live action. 24. Paragon or Renegade: Paragon!! (Sorry I am just no renegade.) 25. Baths or Showers: Showers. 26. Team Cap or Team Iron Man: I agree with vikingwoman: “Tony Stark is an arrogant sexy bastard so Iron Man.” Mostly though it’s because of Robert Downey, Jr., who is hot as hell.

27. Fantasy or Sci-fi: Fantasy. But I really also very much love sociological scifi, or the slipstream between the two. Like I have written a great deal of fiction about a time-traveling cowboy but it is no scifi tale. It is much more dreamy than that. My scifi tends to also have ghosts or folklore attached. So...a little of both, I guess. 28. Do you have three or four favorite quotes? If so, what are they?

“A picture may be worth a thousand words. But a thousand words is worth four thousand words.” -Ron Carlson (author and my grad school mentor)

“We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the ideas with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.” -Joan Didion, The White Album

“Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream.” -John Steinbeck, Cannery Row

“You’re tearing me apart!” -Jim Stark, Rebel Without a Cause

29. YouTube or Netflix: YOUTUBE. Netflix just got rid of Buffy the Vampire Slayer like I am on my last straw with these folks.

30. Harry Potter or Percy Jackson:

Idk who Percy Jackson is. Harry Potter for sure.

31. When Do You Feel Accomplished: After submitting a new chapter for The Dead Season, but the feeling is very brief and quickly followed by a small flutter of anxiety over the fact that I now need to stfu with my pride and go do the whole damn thing again lol. 32. Star Wars or Star Trek: ....neither. Sorry. 33. Paperback Books or Hardback Books: Paperback. I liked what bird said about being able to just manhandle a paperback book. I feel the same way. I love that there are creases in the binding, and that those creases are representative of the places in the text I love and have read the most. 34. Handwriting or Typing: Typing.

35. Velvet or Satin: Velvet? Neither, honestly. I love cotton. 36. Video Games or Movies: Video Games 37. Would you rather be the dragon or own the dragon: I’d rather be the mother of dragons.

38. Sunrise or Sunset: Sunset? I love the end of the day. I love night. 39. What’s your favorite song: That’s a serious question. I honestly do not know. My favorite catalogs are by Neko Case, Fiona Apple, Ben Folds (Five), Regina Spektor, and Fleetwood Mac. 40. Horror Movies, yes or no: I used to be intensely into horror movies and still look forward to them when they’re very well made. I used to love watching horror movies alone, on my computer, in the middle of the day. But for whatever reason, ever since I had a baby, I can’t deal anymore. My emotions are so close to the surface. It’s like, my empathy overloads. I also can no longer deal with gore. 41. Long or Short Hair: My hair is very long. Like almost down to my ass. 42. Opera or Theatre: Theatre. But I haven’t been to the opera.

43. Assuming the multiverse theory is true and that every story ever told has really happened somewhere, which one of the movie/book/tv show/game/etc worlds would you pick to travel to first: Stars Hollow, Gilmore Girls. 44. If you had to eat only one thing for the rest of your life what would it be: french fries 45. Older guys or young guys: Oh dear. Classically, I am more drawn to older men. But I also have an intense thing for professional athletes, especially basketball and (American) football players and most of them are younger than me, so... 46. If you could erase any show from TV history, what would it be: Erase? None. It’s all necessary.

47. Singing or Dancing: Singing. 48. Instagram or Twitter: Instagram. I used to be super active on Twitter. I had to stop. I came here instead lol. 49. Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit: Lord of the Rings, because Aragorn. 50. If you could create either a sequel or bring back any tv show/movie, what would you choose: The Sopranos. But I just want more episodes from the same run. Because it’s so fucking good. I also want Lost, only remade and made perfectly, but with all the same cast. I love that show, but it got so rushed in the end like, I want to see it revised and perfected. Also, Party Down. Like that show I could watch forever. I pray to the gods they make a movie. I love Ken Marino.

51. Who is your movie/tv show character that you are looking up to and why? Buffy Summers, because she is vulnerable and she feels so much, and she uses her emotion to make herself stronger. She does not hide it away in an effort to simply appear strong. 52. If you were ever convicted of a crime, what would it be? Public drunkenness? lol. 53. Anime- subbed or dubbed? I have no idea what this means! Sorry.

54. City or countryside? Countryside. I really don’t like cities at all. I like the open road.
