Five questions from wlykyoti:

1. When did you first start writing fic?

The first story I remember writing was for...Year 2. Maybe Year 1. I'd have been 6 or 7. It was called "Princess Sunbeam and Princess Rainbow" and was handed in complete with hand-drawn art.

The first fanfic I remember writing was in Year 4. Complete with self-insert of me and some friends meeting the Transformers and She-Ra. That was after we found ourselves in medieval times telling knights how to joust.

I didn't actually finish anything other than assignment stories until I was about 21-22 - X-Men fanfic. I was really into Generation X and the X-Men: specifically Scott and Jean, but Asian Psylocke was a favourite, too. Jubilee had a little too much 'tude for my enjoyment. But the others in her group were cool. I had a real thing for Jono/Paige for a while there.


2. If you could live anywhere else (besides Australia) where would it be?

Oh, tough question. *thinks* Somewhere in Europe, I think. Southern Europe because I like it warm - Italy or Spain, perhaps. Countryside rather than city-side, although not completely rural.

I'd have said New Zealand, but I don't think I could take the cold.


3. Where haven't you visited in the world that you really want to?

So many places! Off-the-beaten-path Asia - preferably with a group entirely comprised of other Asians; the Middle East - from Egypt to Pakistan. Eastern Europe. Africa. South America... Truthfully, there are a lot of places I haven't been and if you offered me the opportunity to grab someone by the scruff of the neck and just head out there, I would. Unfortunately, my travel is done solo right now, which requires me to find people to stay with.


4. How do you see yourself in 10 years?

Published, I hope!

10 years wiser and more mature; with 10 more years of experiences and friendships that I don't regret. Gracefully accepting the weight of years, my sense of humour intact, and still writing!


5. What is your favorite American food?

Hm. How is 'American' defined? I mean, sjhw_tolerance's fried chicken with potato salad was OMG MORE. And the steak and sides at Seagrass steakhouse in Houston (Galveston?) was divine. I love burgers - albeit, not the ones you buy at McDonalds or Hungry Jacks, but the 'off-the-grill' ones with the lot: cheese, onion, bacon, egg, tomato, lettuce, pineapple... I don't know that having all that on a burger is very 'American', really.

*thinks*

I think the fried chicken with potato salad wins in the end. Home-made is always tastier!

Favourite restaurant in the US, on the other hand? The Melting Pot. Although that steakhouse/restaurant where andveryginger and her hubs and friends took me to in Atlanta last year was delish, too.

But, yeah. Melting Pot. MMMMM.


So, who's up? :)

Questions please!

[tielan]

I'm going to recycle at least one of my questions;

1. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
2. I've seen you put out a lot of ideas and snippets and bits. Is there anything that you've finished (original or derivative) and how do you feel about it?
3. If you could go back 10 years and tell yourself one thing, what would it be?
4. The zombie apocalypse is upon us! Pick one fictional character to help you survive.
5. Best meal you've ever eaten.
