1. What's the best and the worst things about living in Britain?
2. Other than Bruce/Clark, what's your favourite pairing and why?
3. Have you ever wanted to be something other than a jewellery designer? If so, what?
4. Your house is on fire. What three things would you take? (any living things are safe outside.)
5. When did you first get into comics? What drew you to Bruce and Clark in particular?
My questions fromarch_schatten:

Forquirky_circe
1. The best thing... well, for me it's the history. I like that my ancestors have been here for a long time. And that there are loads of historical ruins from quite a few different cultures that you can go see. I also, actually, quite like the weather. LOL. And the sense of humour. ;)
The worst thing... I hate it that America gets things before we do, and we have to wait. Be it films, or books, or dvd's, or tv shows... *sighs* That's quite annoying. I once had to wait 10 months for some dvd's to be released here. I mean, what?
2. Oooohhh!! That's a hard one! But I'm going to have to say Michael/Pieter. I love them!! *squishes them* They're just so good together! :D
3. Yes I have! For a long time I wanted to be a professional horse rider - doing showjumping, in fact. I was mad about horses, living and breathing them, but school started to get more demanding, and I gave up. I still miss it, though, and I would like to go back to it, just for the occasional ride, but I have no time! And the stables that I went to have closed down, so there's no where for me to go anyway. :(
4. My laptop!!! I must have my laptop. *strokes it* A stuffed toy. And... my grandmother's jewellery.
5. I saw the first Christopher Reeve Superman film on TV and I was hooked. LOL. So, I was reading some Clois fic from that, actually - shocking, I know ;) - when Bruce turned up. I was amazed to think that Superman and Batman were friends!! They seemed like such total opposites! They just fascinated me! And when I read about the amount of history they had together... I was a devoted fan of the World's Finest, even if I hadn't discovered people slashing them yet. ;)
Forarch_schatten
1. I knew I liked slash when I started actively looking for it, lol. No, I knew I liked it when I couldn't get the slash story I'd accidentally clicked on to read out of my head. Of course, it might have been when I continued reading the slash story, even when it became obvious that it was slash... LOL
2. That my family and friends live long and happy lives. For world peace. For an end to famine.
3. Lord of the Rings! It's just so awesome. I love the rich background to it, how it feels so much like it could actually be a real set of myths.
4. I would really like to visit Scotland! But I would also like to visit Switzerland. Pretty Mountains!!
5. I would steal all of chocolate in the world! And laugh evilly while doing so. Bwhahahaha!!!!
Forjen_in_japan
1. Heh. A bit of a long story. I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I dropped out of school when I was 14 to be home educated, thus I have no formal qualifications at all. I wanted to go to collage, more because it was... programed? LOL, into me that you went to collage when you were 16. So, I had to find a course that I could do with no qualifications. That was a very slim number. I also wanted it to be a part time course, because I was no longer used to being around people for long amounts of time, and I wouldn't have been able to cope with it. I also wanted to do a course where I didn't have to do a interveiw, and jewellery was one of them. I pondered a bit about doing a flower arranging course instead, but the Jewellery course lasted longer, and, at the time, I could get on it for free for 2 years, so that was another good reason. So... yeah. I got into jewellery making because I have no qualifications, don't like being around people, and because it was free. LOL.
2. I like living in this part of the UK because we are close to Wales! LOL. That's one of the main reasons. Um... also, I am only about 1 hour away from Glastonbury! And Glastonbury is awesome. I am also close to other sites like that, such as Avebury and such.
3. *laughs for little while, because she can not think of anything* Um... I would say making myself look like a idiot/stupid so my mum/dad/brother will laugh for a few moments when they are Thinking Serious Thoughts.
4. Erm... I don't know. I'm tempted to say the Gotham fic, because I think I'm blocking myself with that one, since I know how strong my Gotham!Muse is, and I don't want her to smother my other muses. *thinks a bit more* This might count too. I sorta want to write a Clark/Dick fic, just because my Bruce!Muse gets so incredibly depressed whenever I come across a fic with that pairing, because he knows how good Clark and Dick would be for each other, how much better Dick will be for Clark than he could ever be... so I kinda want to write a Clark/Dick fic with Bruce being all angsty to try and get it all out.
5. Oooo! Lavender. That's my favorite. Roses. Rain. Sweets. Chocolate.
6. Ooooohh! You mentioned the magic word. Arthurian. LOL. I haven't! *runs to amazon* Wow. Where do I start? Although... *checks bookshelves* I have a book by him! But it's not part of that series, I think. *pouts a bit*
Forvigilante_wake
1. Heh, I'm going to show my naivete here, since I don't drink at all, and I'm going to presume you mean the drinking games that I've heard of when you drink whenever something is repeated... anyway, working under that assumption, it would probably be whenever I say the word 'green', or 'DHL'. It's a family joke. *nods sagely*
2. I... can't really remember any dreams like that, woe! I have, however, dreamed that I was a member of the Fellowship of the Ring, and at a different time, that I'm Batman. And Superman's always there. And then I always become someone else when Superman starts to kiss Batman. That's a little unfair, I think. Oh! And of course there's the time I dreamed I was Robin and Batman let me drive the Batmoblie. That was fun.
3. Tolkien. I would love to know more about the Silmarillion, and the tales from the First Age.
4. Oooh. That's a very tough one. I'll go with... Babs! Since she's just awesome.
5. Wales! I want to live in Wales because I feel far, far, more at home there than I do anywhere else. There's a particular part of Wales, Beddgelert, that especially felt like home to me when I briefly visited there.

I'd never thought about it before, but it is pretty prevalent! When I was more into Clois fandom, I remember there being a sizeable camp of big S+B fans who never crossed over into the slash.
Seeing Bruce in Clois fic wasn't what seduced me to slash him and Clark, but I'm like you, Star, in that I never knew they were friends (or that they were even part of the same comics universe, lol--shame on me!) until I started seeing Bruce show up as a supporting character in Clois fic over, and over, and over again, lol ...
And horses! Ahh, they are such gorgeous animals; that's so awesome that you ride them! I've only ridden twice, and both times I was terrified of falling off O.o You are a brave woman, Star! *grin* I hope you get to go back soon, too--and when you do you must bring pictures! :D
no subject
I didn't know that Superman and Batman were in the same universe either! I remember laughing hysterically at the idea that they existed in the same world, and that they were friends... that was almost beyond comprehension. LOL. Clois writers seem to like having Bruce turn up, don't they? I wonder if they're trying to tell us something... ;)

Horses are so pretty! And they're fine once you get used to riding them. :) But maybe it's because I started to ride when I was... 9? so I didn't have any real fear of falling off... LOL. If I ever go riding again, there will be pics! :D
Do you want any questions? All of mine are going to be incredibly lame, so... I'm asking people! lol
no subject
Woo! Hit me! I probably won't repost the meme to my journal since I did this last year, lol, but ... if you have questions, I have answers. :B
no subject
1. If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?
2. Out of the fics you have written, which is your favorite, and why?
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
4. If you were transported to the DC universe for a day, what would you do?
5. What's the best thing about living in New York?
