This is a game which works. Sometimes. I like these forum games for reasons I can't honestly explain.

Basically, you ask a question to the person below you. They answer your question and then ask a question to the person below them. I'll start:

How many continents have you been on?

Three. North and South America, Europe.

What bit of fiction are you ashamed of but really like?

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

I've been reading some of the Doctor Who tie-ins (the old series, not the new ones) for the eighth doctor, and I really like them. I mean, you get them for £1 and they're a tiny step up from really trashy paperbacks, but I still like them. I wouldn't want anyone else to know, though.

Favourite quote?

Drinking Song by Rob Dougan made somewhat ironic by the fact I'm basically tee total.

Last time you went to the cinema?

Adventureland, about two weeks back with my girlfriend. I really liked it.

Would you rather be reaped by Gaiman's Death or Pratchett's?

comment removed due to risk of self-incrimination  Umm, let's just say that it was pre-2001 and I'm pretty sure that it violates the Patriot Act (and several other laws).

Have you submitted an entry for ZARGA IV?

Because it didn't have to be a duck.

Absolute full immersion in the story line. I like to vanish into a story, regarless on what it's about.

what story/author/book in your personal library says the most about you as a person?

Oh, great and mighty Alasdair, Orator Maleficent, He of the Silvered Tongue, guide this humble fangirl past jumping up and down and squeeing upon hearing the greatness of Thy voice.
Oh mighty Mur the Magnificent. I am not worthy.

Mountains, Oceans or Plains?

Man - despite his artistic pretensions, his sophistication, and his many accomplishments - owes his existence to a six inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.

If you had to spend 24 hours stuck in an elevator with a person you don't personally know, who would you pick?

Gaiman. Only way I could actually ask questions for my thesis.

Ninja or Pirate?

Ninja.  Pirates are very bad people, and I can't understand why they're so romanticized.


Starship or time machine?
