Here are the questions I got from cherith

1) I have only known you through LJ, so how did you first get online, and then what brought you to LJ?

I didn't get online until college but rapidly fell in love with the medium of online communication. LJ was initially a way for me to keep up on the lives of a couple of long distance friends. Envious of the fun they were having, I signed up too.

2) If they made one of your stories into a movie, and you got free range to pick the cast of your dreams, what story would it be, and who would play the characters?

I make wishlist casts for stories in my head all the time. Since Apocalypse Woman is my only published work ATM I'll use my cast for that:
Abryax...Costas Mandylor
Selkines Ondine...Radha Mitchell
Erasmus Archaty...Cilian Murphy
Brisins De Mar...Zooey Deschanel

3) I don't see you talk about television a lot other than occasional mentions of LOST. Are there are any TV shows you're currently following?

Given my intense fondness for LOST it's probably no surprise that I'm eagerly following FlashForward right now. And of course I'm also enjoying V. There are several procedural dramas I really enjoy but don't follow obsessively: all the Law & Order shows, CSI Miami, NCIS. I'll also usually stop and watch House if I'm channel surfing and come to it. I was really into Battlestar Galactica in its first two seasons but lost track. Someday I'll get caught up.

4) I know you're a big fan of the Dune series. What makes them so appealing to you?

I saw the David Lynch movie as a child and even though I had no clue what was going on I was very drawn in by the set and costume designs and could tell this was a movie about something really important. I like it because it's such a naked critique of the human condition; about how what makes us great is unavoidably tied to the failings that bring us low.

5) What are your top 5 non-metal musicians?

Tori Amos, Loreena McKennit, Mary Fahl/October Project, The Medieval Baebes, Sarah McLachlan
