Other places we can find you: If you visit me at home, I'm usually there...
Location/Country of Origin: Northern California, USA.
Age: 26, as of Tuesday this week.
Occupation: Unemployed. I'm trying to break into the fields of comic book writing and/or voice acting - preferably both - but it ain't easy, and I'm lousy at representing myself. At the moment, I'd settled for a part-time job that would make me some moolah, but jobs are tough to find around here.
Favourite Writer: Assuming this refers to comics, probably Alan Moore. Also Neil Gaiman, Stan Lee, various other people...
Favourite Artist: Er... toughie. Art, for me, is not as important a component as writing when it comes to comics. A few people I whose artwork I LIKE would be Jack Cole, Alex Ross, David Lloyd, Bill Watterson, Carl Barks...
Favourite Character: Lots and lots of 'em. Changes according to my mood. Among my favorites at the moment are Batman, Spider-Man, Captain Britain, Night Raven, the Nocturnals, Tom Strong, the Question, Uncle Scrooge, and a host of others.
Desert Island Top Ten Comics (series/issues): Probably lots of Golden Age stuff. I'll have to go with series, I suppose. Batman, the Metal Men, the original Jack Cole run on Plastic Man, some of Marston's Wonder Woman, perhaps, the original Silver Age Doom Patrol, Captain Britain, perhaps V for Vendetta, some Tom Strong, the collected Bone, some volumes of Carl Barks.
All time favourite panel/page/scene (scans encouraged): Good grief, I don't know. I guess I'm partial to the 'One punch!' scene from JLI, but otherwise, I can't really think of anything.
How do you feel about Rob Liefeld? Not particularly enthusiastic. If the man took anatomy lessons and learned how to convincingly draw expressions other than a scowl, I'd like him a lot better.
What's your stance on bees? My preferred stance when it comes to bees is the classic 'poised to run away' stance as seen in Looney Tunes. I dislike small, stinging things. Still, at least they make honey - wasps don't even do that.
Other fandoms: I'm iffy on the precise definition of fandom. Other things that I am a fan OF would include Firefly, the Oz books, gargoyles (by which I mean actual gargoyles, not the show 'Gargoyles', although I like that, too), Darkwing Duck, Bloom County, sci-fi and fantasy in a general sense, British TV mysteries, Monty Python, the Goon Show (just starting to get into that, but I've enjoyed what I've read so far), tops, rubber bands, miscellaneous fiddly things, the backscratcher I got in Chinatown a few years back...
Fannish activities: None, really, unless you count posting here. I'm not exactly what you'd call an active fan - I plan on going to the San Diego Comic Con one of these days, but that's in the future. Maybe.
Political Leaning: Generally left-wing. Certainly not right-wing. Politics make me want to do an ostrich impression.
Favourite Sports Team/Player: Don't have one. I don't like sports; not team sports, anyway. I used to fence back in high school, but if there are any celebrity fencers, I haven't heard of them.
Favourite Performer: Aaarrrgh, I don't know. I like Johnny Depp, and Scarlet Johanssen's a cutie-pie.
Favourite Writer (fiction/non fiction): Plenty. L. Frank Baum, S.M Stirling, Harry Turtledove, Roald Dahl, Hugh Lofting, Neil Gaiman, Bruce Coville...
Someone You Admire: Barack Obama, Will Eisner. Assorted other people whose names escape me at the moment.
What else are you into? Stuff?
What's one awesome thing you did this year? This year? Not much. If I can fudge it to last year, I recorded an audio book of the Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling, and I've done a few readings trying to self-market it - still haven't broken even, though. If anyone's interested in a copy, all they have to do is ask...

How do you feel about Rob Liefeld? Disheartening work. He doesn’t seem to improve much either. Though I guess you could call it “a style”. Not my kind of style anyway (I don’t like it, and I don’t look like it).
What's your stance on bees?
Are they Nazi bees?Well, they’re interesting, aren’t they? That complicated society, the royalty, all the chemicals and interpretive dancing. Still wouldn’t want to be close to them.Other fandoms: Farscape, Dr. Who/Torchwood, Stargate Sg-1, Supernatural, and to a lesser degree Star Wars, Buffy/Angel and Star Trek.
Fannish activities: Trying to learn how to write fics/comics/whatnot in case that counts. Hanging out here, dress up as geeky things at costume parties or generally whenever’s possible, making icons, read the occasional fanfic, done a few AMVs for the X-men movies (some crap, but proud of SexyBack with Mystique cus it’s fun and pun-tastic).
Political Leaning: Left (cannot keep up with all the terms in English). Social Democracy with a smidge of Environmentalism. Voted Green Party, will do again. Taxes, public healthcare and feeless education, pro gay marriage (which we just got here, yay! Now it should be easy peasy to just find a future husband) and pro women’s choice in regards to abortion. What else? Pro stem cell research and pro research into finding different ways of using nuclear power that is less unsafe and harmful to the environment.
Favourite Sports Team/Player: Don’t do sports. Don’t watch it. Don’t get it. But in all honesty, playing basket ball and badminton can be fun with friends though.
Favourite Performer: In various areas of performance: Eddie Izzard, Erasure, the unstoppable duo of Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen.
Favourite Writer (fiction/non fiction): Gosh. I seldom read actual books actually. …Don’t look at me like that! Started reading Gregory MaGuire’s Wicked and it’s pretty awesome so far. Terry Pratchett is good too. Kathy Griffins autobiography is hilarious and insightful.
Someone You Admire: Well Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson, Neil Patrick Harris and Emma Thompson all seem like successful, talented, bright, nice people with great personality and outlook on things. As for people I actually know, I guess my brother for his overwhelming confidence, my friend Emilie for her utter dedication to her studies, my mom for her out going-ness, and my dad for dealing with and succeeding in spite of dyslexia.
What else are you into? Drawing, dancing, SF, tv & movies, hanging out with friends. Hanging out is much better than actually doing stuff most of the time.
What's one awesome thing you did this year? Nothing springs to mind unfortunately. Been an ok year though.
Oooh! Ooh! Ooh! I'd like to add:

Favourite Writer: When it comes to comics, I don't really have a favorite. As long as they don't write my favorite character horribly, I'm fine by what they do.
Favourite Artist: Same as the writing. Although some is just plain awful. I cba to check whom I really like atm.
Favourite Character: Gwen Stacy! If she is written right, I will love her. And I wish in the future that I could write her correctly too. Another character that is often written badly and that I love is Raven. Beast Boy, Blue Beetle, Impulse/Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, Donna Troy, Wonder Woman, Superboy, Lana Lang, Spiderman, Chase, Molly, Karolina, Xavin, Victor, Powergirl, Terra III and that’s it

Political Leaning: I have no idea. All I know is that I have varying interest in either parties. I’m not that dedicated to any of them really.
Favourite Sports Team/Player: GO SAINTS! I’m a number one Saints fan since I’ve been in kindergarten, so it’s pretty obvious that they are my main team. :3 I’m mostly a football fan so I have to say my other favorites are The Colts, The NY Giants, and the NY Jets.
Favourite Performer: Varies. I have lots. I will say my favorite metal band is Opeth.
Favourite Writer (fiction/non fiction): Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstein, Louis Sachar, BKV
Someone You Admire:Don’t have one.
What else are you into? I love baking and cooking. I also don’t mind doing homely tasks. I like reading a whole lot and listening to music everyday. Exercising and dieting always get me interested and I love trying to do/reading different methods of each (that are safe).

What's your stance on bees? BEES! I love bees! I used to have bee patterned sleepy pants! BEEEES!
Other fandoms: I used to be really involved in the Harry Potter fandom. Ran a few online rpgs, wrote a bunch of stuff, participated in communities. That's dwindled to nothing. So now for the past few months, I've been getting BACK into comics.
Oh, but I also like Star Wars and Dracula and Venture Bros. (did a tabletop crack!roleplay for that once). I like Super Smash Bros. and old school!Zelda games. I'm an all around geek girl, I guess, but I'm not always actively involved WITH the fandom. I should remedy that.

What else are you into? Uh...reading? I dunno, I mostly do grad school stuff now. Thesis thesis thesis.
What's one awesome thing you did this year? I've read 52 books so far this year. Yeah, this year has kind of sucked. I need to get out of grad school.
