cornerofmadnessBite the fattest part of my ass
Tonight they called (on time) and said they didn't follow thru on the claim because I was on line last night. YES using a weird ass code that they used to jump me on line. morons. I can't use that. the tech told me so. It would not connect the way it's SUPPOSED to.
However, today it's working (who knows why) but they want to rule out that it's my computer so I had to put the broadband in my netbook and wander around trying to get a better signal (I didn't, will take it to work tomorrow just to prove my broadband is defective) They're doing everything they can to avoid actually helping with the problem. But in Bean Ed the signal was worse than it was here so it's NOT Alphonse the Tower that's the problem.

8. What's your favorite genre to write? To read?
9. How do you get ideas for your characters? Describe the process of creating them.
10. What are some really weird situations your characters have been in? Everything from serious canon scenes to meme questions counts!
11. Who is your favorite character to write? Least favorite?
12. In what story did you feel you did the best job of worldbuilding? Any side-notes on it you'd like to share?
13. What's your favorite culture to write, fictional or not?
14. How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us?
15. Midway question! Tell us about a writer you admire, whether professional or not!

18. Favorite antagonist and why!

29. How often do you think about writing? Ever come across something IRL that reminds you of your story/characters?

Absolutely. Nothing makes me quit reading faster than characters that are not described in the least. I want a pictured painted. I might not tell you every detail about them but you will know hair/eye color, general build, age and any pertainent scars/tattoos.
You'll know that Makai is thin and gangly and sensitive about it. Maddelena has unruly curly Italian hair. Tarran has mismatched eyes and bi-colored hair. Placid is short with a prosthetic leg. Temple is a flaming redhead. Killian has suicide attempt scars on his wrists. Yukio has a tattoo of a dragon wrapped around an hourglass. I think these details are all important in their own way.

Date: 2010-04-07 01:54 am (UTC)Adao is almost an albino, as is Tully.
James has false teeth and braids.
Mato isn't very tall but has a great build.
Remy is too big. Just huge.
Ti-Jean is very attractive, small, and has Gulf War Syndrome.
Concetta has big boobs and a tendency to cook phallic things.
(Good grief. How many more of your characters can I pull out?)

Glad you're still doing the meme

Re: Glad you're still doing the meme
Date: 2010-04-07 04:12 pm (UTC)hmm yeah I probably am not. Didn't realize there was another journal, though there's the band story right or is that someone else. My brain is dead
