@briannajean and @norella-novik Welcome again! So glad can be a part of us.

I suppose it’s only fair if I answer my own questions as well as the rest of you (I’ve really enjoyed your answers, btw!).

1. What’s your favorite genre ? If you have favorite genreS, list them and include a favorite work from each.

Fantasy! Tolkien. Next question.

No, seriously. Fantasy is my favorite genre, and the more that I have written, the more firmly I am convinced that the majority of my writing life will be devoted to my fantasy projects. I’ve gotten into the philosophy behind it a bit by reading Tolkien’s On Fairy-Stories, and I must say that I am completely hooked.

At the same time, I’m always up to enjoy some well-written sci-fi, or to digest a classic novel (they’re usually classic for a reason, and I always love to find out why). Oh, and I can’t forget Russian novelists, who almost created a genre for themselves: Very Long Books. Tolstoy and Dosteovsky for the win, y’all.

2. How long have you been writing?

I began my first story as a *ponders for a second* 11 or 12 year old. A few years later, I picked up storytelling as a hobby that continued to grow throughout high school until I was confronted with the terrible reality that it would be an integral part of my life until the day I died. I recovered from that realization very quickly. That’s been a ten-year journey, but I think it’s fair to say that I’ve only really been writing for about half that time.

3. What’s your favorite color, your favorite flavor of ice cream, and do you like oreos?

Orange is my favorite color, my favorite flavor of ice cream is inmystomach, and I really do enjoy oreos.

Just kidding, black raspberry ice cream usually takes the cake  cone for me. But I will eat any ice cream. I’m warning you. It doesn’t even have to be mine. XD

4.  Have fun. This is not a question. But has it become a question now?

If we divide the entirety of point 4 into its distinct parts, we find two complete sentences which are not questions, and a third which is. Now, seen by itself, the second sentence is true. But we cannot always accurately isolate the individual components of a point.

So, in another sense, the entirety of point 4, taken together, forms a question, thus rendering the second sentence false.

I think I’ve had sufficient fun with that for now. XD I have fulfilled the main objective of point 4. 😀
