Yay! This interviewing thing is too much fun.
1. What fic are you currently working on?
Well, I have 27 stories with me on my work computer, which is a fairly reliable indicator of all the ones I've recently opened up and chipped away at (oh gods). I have about seventy-odd unfinished ones on my home computer. *stabs self* But the one I'm most actively writing is an angsty space pirate fic, post-apocalypse, where the original team have been stranded off-world, and are the only survivors of Earth, and they're all traumatised and not getting on, and Jack's gone kinda cruel, like he was in Shades of Grey but for real. All kinds of fun. I'm praying I'll get it finished by next week. I've got about another 3,000 words to write, I think.
2. What is one childhood dream that you would still like to fulfil?
Writing my Novel. I had a plan: age 17, I would have written my novel, and get published. Age 19 I would find my true love, get married, and start having babies.
Uh, it wasn't much of a plan, but I'm about ten years behind on it. Except for the finding-love-at-19 thing, which seems to be working out.
3. What is your favourite Jack/Sam moment from Stargate?
Hm. I think it has to be the bit in Divide and Conquer, where they're trapped either side of the force wall. It's so tragi-romantic. Oh, and the bit in Beneath the Surface where they're talking together, and there's just a long, slow pan in, and she puts her head on his shoulder - that's adorable. "I'm just sayin'." (I can't pick just *one*, apparently.)
4. You suddenly get dragged on stage at a Karaoke competition, what are you singing - and what was the audience reaction?
*faints ded*
Actually, I've done karaoke. I sang 'Talking In Your Sleep' by Crystal Gayle, mostly because a) I knew the words, and b) I could hit the notes. Well, I thought I could hit the notes... The audience was very encouraging, but I suspect it was just out of politeness - I know I didn't do very well, I can hear when I hit a bad note, and I hit a lot of them. Also, I sang 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' on a home karaoke thing, and did really well - I can sing that, for some reason. But I don't think it'd go down well at a competition. So I think I'll sing... 'Close To You', by the Carpenters. Again, I know the words and can hit the notes. At least, I can in the shower. *g* I like singing, but I try not to inflict it on anyone beyond my nearest and dearest. I would expect the audience reaction to be polite applause.
5. What are your top 5 names for any hypothetical children you might have? Boys and Girls
Ooh. For girls... Laurel is currently my favourite name for a girl (as in the tree, not Laurel & Hardy). Also... hm. Elinor, I like a lot. And Marion. And Robin, as a girl's name (yes, Robin Hood fan, can you tell?). And Poppy - but I don't think I'd choose that because it's been one of my nicknames. But I think it's sweet.
For boys... I've not got so many ideas for boys' names, 'cause I always wanted a little girl. I do like the name Jonathan / Jack (I tried not to, but...). But not Richard, because the shortenings are all horrendous. I also like Zachary, although it might be a bit cruel to give a kid a name like that. Jasper, too - cruel but I like it. Sean is nice. And, er... Thomas. It's cute.
edit: And holdouttrout asked me...
3. Did you ever make Jello just because you were feeling nostalgic for Sam/Jack? If so, which flavor?
5. If you could have anybody write you a letter saying they like your writing, who would it be?

Comments
She is hard to find, or at least many of her books are hard to find. I see the same ones on the shelves over and over, and I *know* she's written lots more.
I shall have to hunt down the Guide. Because really: Armour = cheating. That's just...so true.
The Guide is hilarious if you're a fantasy fiction afficionado, as I think you are. It has a section on the importance of Cloaks, and the fact that coats with buttons are for wusses, because apparently no one in Fantasyland will wear one. Also colour-coding. Green eyes = magical, brown hair = good, ditto blue eyes... And so on. It's so very well-observed. She's clearly read a lot of the stuff - especially things like Dragonlance, and the David Eddings books. Oh, and the inevitability of eating Stew. Cracked me up.
