...from getting my concealed weapons permit.

That seems to scare quite a few people.

Anyway, I've been getting asked a lot of repeating questions from people, and since my only FAQ is on my art shop thread in Gaia Online, I guess I may as well answer a few here?

.::Informal FAQ!::.

First off, are you still continuing Twilite?

Yes. It's immensely relaxing to take out my frustration on that series in short, harmless little comic strips. Also, it's helping me out with pacing and drawing, so I enjoy them even more. I'll try to figure out a schedule so I can get them updated regularly instead of sporadically.

You mentioned that you were working on a comic. How's that coming?

I've been saying that for the past decade or so. I have a ton of ideas in mind, but my faith in my artistic abilities to carry out what I see in my head is practically non existent. Er, my faith, not my head. Someday I'd like to start on a webcomic, maybe turn a few of my existing stories into one, but until then I'll stick with straight writing.

Oh come on, you know more about the Twilight saga than most of the fans do. Are you sure you aren't a fan? Or at least were one in the past?

I have never been a fan of that series. One of my friends introduced it to me long ago (you know who you are), and I took one look at it and didn't bother going further into it until the hype was so large I could no longer ignore it. As some of my old time friends would point out, my tastes were very similar to the general idea of Twilight back then, but I've grown out of it. Thankfully. I dread to think how I would be if the series had been so popular when I was younger and more naively impressionable...

I know so much about the series because I enjoy reading in-depth AnTwi blogs. My favorite is Vampirely, which is the basis for many of the current Twilites, most of which you haven't seen yet. It's an ongoing blog summarizing every chapter in the series. I've linked to it before.

What do you like to read then?

Everything worth reading, including text books, magazines, encyclopedias, and various websites, blogs, and journals throughout the internet. If it's interesting to me, I'll read it. I'm a fan of Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter, and an old fall-out fan of Terry Brooks and the Redwall series. I am also a less devoted fan of the Animorphs, which is still one of my favorite series to date. It might look and sound dorky, but if you want a series with great character development and interactions, then that's for you. I also do like Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia, and my bookshelf is stacked with a pile of other random books, including a few from the recently finished Pendragon series.

You're crazy. Does that mean most of what you say is sarcastic?

Yes, I am crazy, and yes, I speak in mostly sarcasm. I think I've come off as being serious one too many times in all the wrong situations.
