ixx. :D
1) WTF is Sages of Chaos, anyway? ;)
Well, that's a good question - I'm not entirely sure myself, anymore! I know it certainly started as a place where people would ask questions and get answers + a judicial amount of snark from various people who may or may not have been fictional characters. Think of Conversatron, the original Master Ninja, or True Meaning of Life using Livejournal as a medium. (Though sadly lacking Jameel, King of No Pants.)
2) If Randy Milholland and Scott Kurtz got in a fight, who would win?
Having met Kurtz and gotten a fair appreciation of Milholland, I'm confident that Randy could take him down. Scott's a nice guy, when he's not on a tear, where Randy has a feral rage smouldering in his core, waiting to be unleashed on the unwary. The fight would likely be a fairly back and forth battle for awhile, since Scott has a leverage and weight advantage, but when Randy finally snapped, it'd be all over. (Think Ender's game. He'd do him with his shoe.)
3) You seem very hetero to me, so... what inspired you to write Gundam Wing yaoi?
Heh. :D I knew this would come up, some day. Some of it came out of the fact that, with the way the show was written, I could see the relationships people were speculating on working. (Well, mostly...) The non-lemon stuff was just a matter of playing with how the characters fit together. The lemon stuff came out of people challenging me to write it, and when people really liked my writing, I messed around with it a bit more because I liked the reactions I got as much as the writing itself.
4) Does anyone actually use the flap in the front of men's cotton briefs?
I certainly don't - I always though they were too cumbersome and uncomfortable. Boxers = Far better.
5) What do you think makes a romance 'work' in fiction? What does it take to make attraction between characters believable to the reader?
I think it's as much a matter of how the characters come across to each other emotionally, and how that plays to the audience, as it does physically. Not neccesarily a bunch of sappy stuff like "would you die to save me?", but simple reactions - what happens when someone burns dinner? Do they fight about money? How do they deal with one or the other having a bad day at work? You have to think about that stuff when you're writing them. You have to assume that things won't be perfect, but that they're willing to work with that. If that comes across, I think that's the key.
Interview, yadda yadda, etx, leave a comment, you know the drill. :D
