Get to know your fellow FoGer!

[Shekinah]

Plain easy really:

Ask each other a question! This means: I'll be posting one question now and the next poster answers and makes sure to post one new question as well, which another person can answer and post a new question too, etc. etc...

Favourite movie(s)?

[ImmortalSin]

Sounds fun!

Some of my favourite movies are -

Sweeney Todd
V for Vendetta
UP
Nightmare Before Christmas
Hot Rod
Blades of Glory
Stardust

Most watched TV show?

[The Melancholy Spirit]

I love the movie Stardust... is that weird?

Most watched TV show... hmm... probably these:

Naked Science
Fight Science
Planet Earth
Taboo
... ok pretty much everything on National Geographic and Discovery, and History before they started playing crap.

My question: If you could chose any world ever created for Sci-Fi or Fantasy (or any other genre, for that matter) to live in for a month, or to travel to whenever you please, what would it be?

[Acid Varrakin]

Congratulations, ImmortalSin; you are a fan of the greatest movie ever created - V for Vendetta.

Now, if I were to live in a fictitious setting for a month... It'd have to be Avatar. Ever since watching that movie, I've wanted to live amongst the blue guys. Does that fail?

Okay, similar question:
The postman knocks at your door. With him is a parcel you ordered 6 to 8 weeks ago, from Utterly Fictional Magazine. It contains a real, life-size, fully working device from your favourite book/movie/RPG/video game.
The question is, what is the device you ordered and what do you plan to do with it?

[Bird of Hermes]

The question is, what is the device you ordered and what do you plan to do with it?

I would pick Hawkgirl's belt of Nth metal that allows her the gift of flight with her wings. I would use it to fly, obviously. The heightened senses and vision would be quite useful.

If this same company offered you the power of any superhero, whose power would you choose?

[MoiraofWords]

This would be a conundrum, but I'd probably choose the super-psychic powerpack-- Telekinesis, Telepathy, Empathy, Psychometry and Clairovoyance-- but that pack would probably not be offered...

I'd have to see a full list ._. but Photographic reflexes would also work.

If you could erase anything, what would you erase?

[Kalon Ordona II]

pen ink. xD

If you could go anywhere that no one has ever been on Earth (not space), where would you go, and why?

[Acid Varrakin]

The molten core, to roast marhsmallows! :p

It's no secret that everybody has a guilty pleasure, be it 70s wushu movies, the complete series of McGyver, or - god forbid - the works of Stephane Meyer.
What's yours?

[Bird of Hermes]

Manga/Anime. Be it good, bad or ugly. Even those really bad furry ones or yaoi.

What is your pet peeve? (Not to be confused with the pet named Peeve.)

[Kalon Ordona II]

different "than"
It's supposed to be 'different FROM.'

What would you name your country, if you suddenly became the leader of a new nation on Earth? ^^

[Guest]

The Imperium. I just personally like that phrase.

If you ruled the world where would your capital city be?

[Kalon Ordona II]

Somewhere in a temperate climate. If you're going to be ruling the world from a certain spot, you might as well pick one you'll like. ^^

What's your least favorite candy? (not worst-loathed; just least-liked)

[ImmortalSin]

Licorice. Ick.

If you could pause the world permanently in one season, which one would it be?

[The Melancholy Spirit]

None. Change is the greatest thing we can ever ask for, else boredom would quickly consume.

What is your favorite sound?

[Guest]

Honestly it depends. I like the sound of certain bells personally, while other bells give me really bad headaches. It sort of depends.

If you could have 1 wish what would it be?

[MoiraofWords]

to be able to warp the world with my mind :O

if you could be in a fictional world, what world would it be?

[Blackrock]

Interesting question. Lots of possible answers too, but, overall, I think I'd settle for Middle-Earth. Be a hobbit and live in a comfy hobbit-hole

If you could change (remove, slightly tweak etc.) one event in the history of mankind, what would it be?

[Acid Varrakin]

Every human is faced with a conundrum at that question, which usually boils down to one of two choices. Will I:

a) Prevent, or at least dramatically reduce the effect of some terrible tragedy, like the Holocaust or the publication of Twilight,

OR

b) Enrich myself?

I will say this: I could, as much as it pains me to say, choose b) and still sleep at night. I, like most Western people, have the incredible superpower of "forgetting," when it comes to the people in third world countries that I have indirectly wronged. I am fairly sure, however, that I would choose option a). The event I would change, I think, would be the rise of Adolf Hitler.

Now, a question...

Everyone here is a writer. What would you give to get published? If you're already published... Well, that's awkward for me then, isn't it?

[Shekinah]

I already published, so I'll just say what I published

A little book consisting out of a combination of short stories and poetry without a common subject, but all somewhat philosophical written. I'm a very minimal writer.

If you'd be in a collapsing building, would you rather want to be on top or on the bottom of the building?

[Blackrock]

Bottom. Bigger risk of the whole thing falling on you, but the chance of reaching the exit is also greater.

You really, really want a certain, very rare book and you see it in a store. Only a few copies remain. But you have no money to purchase it at the present. As the minutes pass, you notice how the amount of copies grows ever smaller. There's no telling when they'll have this book in stock again, this may very well be your last chance. Do you steal the book, knowing that 80% of the people who bought it probably have no intention of reading it?

[Gadreille]

ungh, I had to pop in here.

I often battle the desire to steal, so this is a really difficult one for me. If it was a privately owned business, I would not do it. If it was a chain bookstore, like B&N, I might think about it. But I haven't stolen in a long while, and I'm trying to never do it again unless absolutely necessary.

>.< Bad Ryona.

You wake up to the doorbell ringing. You open the door, and outside is Obama with one of those giant check things you see on TV shows. He says he's giving you the chance to open your own business, regardless of the cost.

Question: What sort of store do you open?

[MoiraofWords]

Oh snap, this ones good ! But hard as well. Based on my locale, I guess a bookstore (including used). There are none other than major chains but that's a town over. It'd be fun... kinda >>.

On the other hand, Obama goes on the radio and says hes reenacting the draft. What would you do?

[Bird of Hermes]

I would ask who he thinks he is joking.

What is your favorite quote or saying?

[Shekinah]

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes, meaning: who will guard the guards?

What are you allergic for?

[Bird of Hermes]

Penicillin.

Are you a morning or evening person?

[Shekinah]

Evening all the way!

Most embarrasing moment in your life?

[Hello Danger]

I don't think its happened yet.

If you could only see black and white except for one color, what color would you choose to see?

[Shekinah]

Hmmmm....

Blue I guess

If you'd be of the different sex, what would your name be?

[Kalon Ordona II]

Hmmm.... Michelle? ^^

What natural terrain formation thingy whatever-to-call-them (e.g. mountains, plateaus, inlets, peninsulas, rivers, streams, gulfs, etc.) would you like to have by, say, your dream house?

[ImmortalSin]

Lots of snow-capped mountains, I think.

If you could have any creature (be it fictional, mythological, real) as a partner/pet/friend - what would it be?
