Everyone else seems to be chucking their hat in the ring or for this and I need something to do which (a) is not work (b) is not mindless consumption of media and (c) which might spark a flicker of creativity.
So give me something to talk about or even show you (I'm up for taking and posting snaps of suitable subjects).
Pick a date and tell me what you want me to talk about or post a pic of. Feel free to have a punt after more than one date - I don't expect these to fill up all that fast!
Jan 01: for sperrywink: Any New Year's resolutions? Or just things to look forward to in the New Year. Jan 02: for james what movie, book, or Some Other Media Thing are you looking forward to this upcoming year? Why, and are you expecting to be fannish about it? Jan 03: for i_kender why did you and the Ex break up? And who was the Love of Your Life? (so far) Jan 04: for ravurian Talk to me about fashion and interior design. What are your watch words? What do you like? What suits you? What are your colour aesthetics/fabrics/materials? Who are your influences? What are you three favourite items of clothing/furniture/art that you own? What would you change if money wasn't a concern? Jan 05: for finisterre what was your first fandom and what's your favourite fandom of all time? Jan 06: for ravurian I want a moment of insight — a moment of startling, unsettling, or unexpected realization in your life, the more painfully personal and embarrassing the better (stolen wholesale from fabularasa). Jan 07: for colls talent you are most proud of and/or a talent you wish you had. Jan 08: for james a picture of something that answers the question "The First Thing I See When (fill in the blank)" Jan 09: for lonelybrit Your favourite theatre trips of 2013: which ones really stuck in the mind and why? Jan 10: for ravurian Talk to me about faith, religion, 'magic', and science and your experience of them. What is your personal ontology? Do you have one? Jan 11:ravurian asked another following on from the Snowflake Challenge Day 02 after finding I have 70+ books in the o Be Read pile: what are the 70 or so unread books in your To Be Read pile (title + author + series, if relevant)? Which ones will you, in all honesty, never read? Which one will you start with? What was it about each that prompted you to get them? Jan 12: for moonlettuce The 12th is Feast of Fabulous Wild Men Day. Take this and run with it Jan 13: for gingerpig You win the lottery, one of those staggeringly huge EuroMilions amounts that have people running away into hiding. What's the first thing you'd do? And would you tell anyone, or keep it a secret? Jan 14: for ravurian The snippets of original fic that you wrote back in the day were some of the most astonishing and inventive that I'd read. What is it that you fear about writing original work? What is it about it that delights and surprises you? How does it differ (if it does) from writing fanfic? How does your 'voice' change between the two? Jan 15: for sperrywink: Favorite fandom ever, if you have one. Top 5 if it is too hard too choose. *g* Jan 16: for lonelybrit What was the last book/film that made you cry? Jan 17: for gingerpig If you could go back in time without the inevitable wibbly wobbly timey wimey problems and talk to yourself at any age, what age would it be and what would you say? Jan 18: LET THESE Jan 19: DAYS BE Jan 20: KNOWN Jan 21: AS THE Jan 22: DAYS OF Jan 23: TOTAL Jan 24: FAIL Jan 25: for rei_c I'd love to hear about Wales - it seems like you and ravurian are always setting off on a Welsh adventure. How did that start, and why do you keep going back? Jan 26: for vic_amy_z What's your favourite, go-to, never-lets-you-down recipe, and what is it that you love about this recipe? Jan 27: for ravurian Talk to me about family, in theory and practice. What was your family like growing up, and how has your concept of family changed as you've grown older? What would you have liked, and what did you get? How does family feature in your fic? Jan 28: for vic_amy_z where has been the best place you've ever traveled to and why? And what's the one place you'd love to visit but haven't got to go there yet? Jan 29: for ravurian You're given the go ahead (and funding) to produce and develop your own TV show. Who do you recruit in terms of writers, directors, designers, actors? What is the series' premise, who are the main characters, what are their relationships and circumstances, how many episodes in the first season, and what is the first season arc? Do you get renewed? Jan 30:vic_amy_z What has been your favourite gig ever, who was it and why is it your favourite? Or your 'Top 5' if you can't pick just one! Jan 31: for lonelybrit Your dream Shakespeare production: what would be the play, who would be the players, and where would be the venue :)
