thelibraniniquity... or, as t_eylaput it, The Amazing Way To Make People Answer Embarrassing Personal Questions.
Basic Rules:
1. If you want to be interviewed, leave a comment here.
2. I'll ask you five questions.
3. You'll post the answers on your own blog or lj, along with these rules. (or you post them in a comment. Whichever you prefer).
4. If anyone replies, asking you for five questions, you'll ask them.

1) Answer this question as quick as you can: What was the best thing that ever happened to you in your life?
Leaving home to go to university. Sounds cliche, but everything's changed. I've changed. I'd like to think mostly for the better.
2) What would you say is your most endearing quality?
I should have known this would be one of the questions! To be perfectly honest I have no idea what people do or don't find endearing about me (aside from Laura's somewhat bizarre revelation about the paranoia ;) ). And I largely think it's for individual people to decide on (assuming they don't have better things to be thinking about).
What I do know is that I have a sense of loyalty that actually scares me. There was a point last summer where I would have willingly dropped everything, and travelled halfway across the country the next day just because a friend was having a crappy week. It doesn't happen often, but there are a few people I would do anything for, within reason of course.
3) Imagine fictional characters were real. Which one of your favorite characters would you want to meet and talk to the most?
Um... Cameron, to find out why she's such an idiot? ;)
Okay, seriously. Um... could I host a small dinner party for a selection of fictional characters?? (Not that there would be much difference between that and what already happens in my head... except for the food, maybe.) Been thinking about this one for a while, and I can't think of any women I'd want to talk to (mostly because most of the lead/other female characters in books and shows grate my nerves), but I'd definitely have Rodney McKay, Tim McGee (from NCIS) and assuming that timelines are of no relevance, either, Felix Gaeta from the Galactica (I'd take him over Apollo any day ;) ). If nothing else, I'd learn a hell of a lot tech-wise from them!
4) If you were working on a TV Show team, which position would you want to have (director, actor, writer, producer etc), and what kind of show would it be?
I'd want to do all of them! Well, all the behind the scenes stuff, anyway. I'd love to direct, but if I did that my anal-perfectionist nature would kick in, and I'd have to at least edit, and maybe sound mix afterwards as well. Somehow I don't think I'd get on very well with any major production company! But yeah, I'd love to have a go at directing.
5) Name the kind of scene that you find the hardest to write of all (angst, humor, interaction, adventure etc).
Romance. (That was easy!)
I used to think I'd never write a credible action scene, but my SG-1 beta reader walked me through how to do one (and not to do one) while I was writing "Mundus Vult Decipi", and as a result, the mission to P7J-wherever to rescue Colonel Jackson is one hell of a lot better than the original version! But romance... that's different. It's a whole extra level on the friendship and interaction I can usually manage, and I've never written a romance-centred scene that I've actually liked.
