4. Tell us about one of your first stories/characters!
5. By age, who is your youngest character? Oldest? How about “youngest” and “oldest” in terms of when you created them?
6. Where are you most comfortable writing? At what time of day? Computer or good ol' pen and paper?
7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters?

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?
Rukia from Bleach hands down. She's both complex and easy to write for me - complex enough that I can do pretty interesting things with her in a storyline, and easy enough that I don't get frustrated when writing those complex topics. She's also well placed for a narrator - she's a shinigami, which means that she understands the spirit world, she stayed in the living world the longest out of the characters I like to write, which means that I can put her in almost any setting, and she's close to Ichigo, which is the other character I like to write about. Oh, and she's a girl. =)
Disclaimer before I go into my least favourite character - I am talking about the perspective of a writing on ease of writing, not so much about about the character itself. That's why my least favourite character is Raven from Teen Titans, even though I love her to bits. It's terribly easy to fall into stereotypes with her, because even the show is a little guilty of that sometimes. And getting the balance between getting the character right and getting a paper cut out makes me want to tear out my hair. So that makes her my least favourite character to write.
Rest of the Questions:
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!
16. Do you write romantic relationships? How do you do with those, and how “far” are you willing to go in your writing? ;)
17. Favorite protagonist and why!
18. Favorite antagonist and why!
19. Favorite minor that decided to shove himself into the spotlight and why!
20. What are your favorite character interactions to write?
21. Do any of your characters have children? How well do you write them?
22. Tell us about one scene between your characters that you've never written or told anyone about before! Serious or not.
23. How long does it usually take you to complete an entire story—from planning to writing to posting (if you post your work)?
24. How willing are you to kill your characters if the plot so demands it? What's the most interesting way you've killed someone?
25. Do any of your characters have pets? Tell us about them.
26. Let's talk art! Do you draw your characters? Do others draw them? Pick one of your OCs and post your favorite picture of him!
27. Along similar lines, do appearances play a big role in your stories? Tell us about them, or if not, how you go about designing your characters.
28. Have you ever written a character with physical or mental disabilities? Describe them, and if there's nothing major to speak of, tell us a few smaller ones.
29. How often do you think about writing? Ever come across something IRL that reminds you of your story/characters?
30. Final question! Tag someone! And tell us what you like about that person as a writer and/or about one of his/her characters!
