oh gosh, I can't say I really think too hard on book covers...but I do like the Mistborn covers a lot:
I just love how dynamic Vin is in these sets, you can just see her sheer determination to fight even when the odds are against her, it just really portrays her well.
23: What’s your favorite & least favorite part of making characters?
ooh favorite, hmm, probably figuring out what'll make them cry tears of joy and anguish, in that order. Least favorite is figuring out their physical appearance--sometimes I can suss out what they're wearing, but I never think about their height or skin color or shapes of noses and things like that. I also sometimes get sucked into trying to find a face that looks like theirs but then I tear myself up over trying to find the perfect one.
I....I have, as well as fancomics. Most of them are from my preteen years which I will not speak of and you will not hear of. Of course, if you would like to offer up equivalent stories of your own, I'm open for negotiations... *wiggles eyebrows* Most recently I've done some Valdemar fanfiction that I do want to get around to finishing, but it's really far in my backlog.
39:What’s the weirdest story idea you’ve ever had?
Mmm, this one's hard because none of them are really that crazy, they're just normal fantasy fare. The cartoons come to life one was pretty good--but otherwise, maybe this one where there's this group of vampire-like dudes that can distill people into energy crystals and eat them, but their powers are stopped by the special music that some fresh-faced teenaged aspiring starlets make (it has something to do with their voices--their actual sound is c-rate pop).
47:If you could steal one character from another author and make then yours, who would it be and why?
So I assume we're discounting all the ones I'd steal so I could stop them from dying horrible deaths. I'd take Llian from Ian Irvine's View from the Mirror quartet--I thought he was a character with great potential, a prim, scholarly, charming chronicler thrust into the survival hero lifestyle that was exactly the sort of lifestyle that he was ah not prepared for. He then gets caught up in the intrigues of powerful, clever, ruthless people and ends up in the middle of it all, whimpering. Did I mention he was from a race of people known to be cowards and traitors? He had a lot of potential for growth and it was squandered--now Irvine is pretty fond of making depressing things like 'This person is considered mediocre...by the end of the novel he is still mediocre', but that doesn't mean I have to like it.I might also take Divergent's Natalie Prior and write her the book she deserves and everyone knows it.

D: ahhh I'd send you chocolate right now if I could!
aww thanks! I'm okay though, I was pretty amused to find out what my coworker was really up to, and later on another one came by and we ate a bunch of toblerone together but I'll take another chapter of EG thank you very much
