ladybug_archiveDid this, am doing it again. Was interviewed by Stacey. ^^
1) What do you think of the Kleptotwins? The idea of Kaito and Yuffie being twins is very unique and fun! You and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
javits make it work so well. It flows, almost, and it doesn't seem strange or OOC at all.
2) If you had the choice between never being able to write again or never being able to listen to music, which would you find most tolerable? If neither, why? Oooh, tough one. But I'd really have to say I must be able to keep writing, if I have to pick just one. Writing is my passion. I'd really be upset if I couldn't sing or draw, but writing I love above even those things. However, music often inspires my stories, so if I couldn't listen to it, it might dampen my inspiration a lot. So above all else, I'd want to still be able to do both.
3) What's your irrational fear, if you have one? I have several. One is that I'm always afraid I'm going to screw something up and that when something does go wrong, it's always my fault alone. Which is irrational both because it takes two people to screw certain things up; it wouldn't always be just one person. And also it's irrational because some things are nobody's fault.
4) Favourite kinds of things to eat? Pizza, fried chicken, just about anything if it has cheese on it. X3 Mild cheddar ... yum.
5) Why do you think Zack and Sephiroth are often portrayed as being such good friends? Because it works! X3 Even in the original game, there were hints, since Cloud's memories were all mixed up and it was really Zack with Seph in the flashbacks. Their personalities mesh together so well, it's just amazing. Zack helps Seph to loosen up, and Seph helps Zack to mature. They both grow and learn from each other. And with Crisis Core out, and all the new scenes we've got, plus the creators' admission that Zack is one of Seph's few friends, well ... paradise. X3 Seph really is a good man, and he really does open up to Zack. And Zack really does seem to come to really like Seph as a person, not just idolizing him. Ahh, FF7 canon, I love you. Can't say Square Enix doesn't know their fans! ^^
And here's a second interview, by Lisa. ^^
1. What was your favorite school subject? Hmm.... Despite my love of writing, I really couldn't stand my English class. XD; Mostly it was the teacher making it unfun. But I really enjoyed the Science classes, both General and Earth. And Geography and History were pretty cool. And Literature was usually enjoyable. Out of all of those ... hmm.... Hard to pick just one, but maybe Earth Science. ^^ So many pretty pictures in the book, and such fascinating stuff. X3
2. Current favorite song? *is unoriginal XD* Current fave.... **muses.** God Help the Outcasts has been on Repeat a lot over the last few days, so maybe it would be that. XD I was really surprised when I watched The Hunchback of Notre Dame and heard it for the first time. Not what I expected to hear in a Disney movie! And of course, now playing it is inspiration for the fic.
3. I've been wondering for a while...What's a typical day like for you? You're so...nocturnal. XD; X3 I love being nocturnal, but I do wish I wasn't quite so much that way as I am right now. The schedule got even more nuts after we kept weird hours during the move. A typical day would be sleeping for a bit in the morning/afternoon, getting up and letting the computer boot up while I run in the bathroom, eating/chatting/writing/listening to music.... Usually there's a family get-together at some point, where we read books or watch stuff (right now we're on a One Step Beyond kick. It's like The Twilight Zone, only the cases have been documented and recorded as true, so it's very fascinating). Eating again, of course. And then writing some more, maybe watching something if I'm in the mood.
4. So, what's your favorite to explore, the relationship between Cloud and Seph in KH, or in FF7/T&D? *Ha! The tables are turned! XD* A good question. XD I go up and down with it. Sometimes I prefer KH, because it ... well, seems more *mine*, since I've crafted so much stuff, entire backstories and whatnot. Sometimes I prefer FF7, because it was the first and the most detailed, as far as canon goes. And T&D is such a fun verse to play in! So ultimately I'm happy with either one, but sometimes the inspiration flows more for one than the other. XD Or sometimes I'm particularly fixated on one set.
5. What would you do with a million dollars? Or you know, just any large sum of money. As much as it might be nice to give a completely unselfish answer ... I can't. XD I would definitely use some of it for me. But I'd also want to use it to help my family and friends, and cliché though it may be, I would definitely give some of it to charity, or use it to start some non-profit project of my own.

Date: 2008-01-12 04:43 am (UTC)Oh man, those questions about having to choose between one thing or another are so tough! I'm glad to hear you'd keep writing.^^ Though I agree about the music being really inspiring. If it were me, I'd probably choose music first, just because I don't write that much. But not being able to write would probably just make me want to write even more. XD
Ah, that's a difficult fear to work through. I know what it feels like! I'm often worried about letting other people down, or disappointing them in some way, when I really shouldn't be.
Ooh, pizza.^^ I actually like sharp cheddar the best, though.^^ And actually, my favorite food probably depends on what I'm eating at the time! If it's good, it's my favorite. XD
Yay for Seph and Zack friendship!^^ There's just no end to how awesome it is, and how awesome it is that *it's actually canon!*
no subject
Date: 2008-01-12 05:23 am (UTC)**nodnod.** Not being able to do something would definitely make me want to do it all the more. XD
It's really agonizing to feel such ways. Especially knowing you don't need to, but not always being able to stop!
LOL. Yeah, I always find new favorite foods! I love casseroles a lot, too.
It being canon is the icing on a cake they've been serving for the past ten years. X3 **huggles Seph and Zack.**
no subject
Date: 2008-01-12 06:41 am (UTC)Yeah. Sometimes I just have to find something else to do as a distraction, so I don't keep worrying about it.
Mmm, casseroles can be really good!^^ I haven't had one in ages. XD
Haha! It sure is.^^

Date: 2008-01-12 05:59 am (UTC)01. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
02. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
03. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
04. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
05. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And so on and so on and so on..
1. What is your favorite YGO story arc in the anime, if you have one?
2. Do you have a favorite YGO character, and if so, who?
3. Do you think Vincent will ever fall in love again, and if so, with whom? Or will he always pine for Lucrecia? **getting random here. XD**
4. For you, is Lucrecia a character with potential that failed (i.e., she could have been a lot better)? Or with her personality, would it have been impossible for her to be any different?
5. Do you have a favorite FF game other than anything VII-related, and if so, which one?
no subject
Date: 2008-01-12 05:01 am (UTC)#2 is very interesting. X3 And I totally hear you on the cheese thing. I...probably eat too much cheese, as it were. And yay, Zack/Seph friendship, especially it becoming nice 'n canon!

I didn't do Step 4, because I thought some people might just reply with "Interview me!" and nothing more. XD
Yeah, I had three pieces of cheese melted on a casserole last night. XD And I ate another one straight down.
**pets Seph & Zack friendship!**
Okay, questions. Hmm....
1. Who is your favorite FF character who isn't from VII/the compilation?
2. At the moment, who is your favorite singer/band, and why?
3. On the same lines, do you have a current favorite song?
4. **takes a page from Stacey.** What do you think of the Cloud and Seph friendship angle, in both T&D and KH verse?
5. Which new KH game are you looking forward to the most, Birth by Sleep or 358/2 Days? (Did I get that one right? XD; )
no subject
Date: 2008-01-12 06:26 am (UTC)Seriously, I don't get how people can like cheese. It's so... cheese! Ick. **snicker** Though I confess to enjoying it on pizza.
Interview me? :3
no subject
Date: 2008-01-12 06:57 am (UTC)Pizza will rule the world. XD
1. I ... don't remember if you ever mentioned this before, so are you interested in any FFs other than VII?
2. Have you seen the new DC drama? If not, do you want to?
3. How did the idea for the KleptoTwins first come about, anyway? XD (And what is their last name, anyway=Kisaragi or Kuroba?)
4. By and large, do you prefer the English cast or the Japanese cast for FF7:AC, or both?
5. What do you think started Kaito's obsession against fish?

no subject
Date: 2008-01-15 04:34 am (UTC)Interesting day! XD *can't quite imagine going nocturnal, but I guess that's because of school*
*nodnod* Yeah, I know what you mean about the KH stuff being more *your* canon.
Haha, I wouldn't be able to be completely unselfish with a million dollars either! *would probably buy a car, for one thing XD*
no subject
Date: 2008-01-15 04:52 am (UTC)**nodnod.** School would definitely interfere with being nocturnal. XD Since I had correspondence school, I didn't have to worry about that.
Yay buying a car! XD
no subject
Date: 2008-01-15 04:58 am (UTC)I didn't know God Help the Outcasts was in The Hunchback of Notre Dame! But then, I haven't actually seen the movie yet. XD And I'm wondering if I've even heard that song, now that I think of it... XD
I had actually wondered about #3 myself. XD Wow, your schedule is kind of crazy! Though I really like the idea of the family get-together.^^ We don't do that often enough, and it's an awesome idea! And that One Step Beyond show sounds really interesting! I'd be curious to see that.
XD. Well, at least you're enjoying both of them! That's the important thing.^^
I'd probably do something very similar if I had a bunch of money. And invest some of it too.
no subject
Date: 2008-01-15 05:06 am (UTC)I can send the song, if you want. ^^ Movie version. Then there's the Bette Midler version, which I don't have. It includes an extra bridge and chorus. I think I have a KH AMV that uses that version, though.
^^ Wal-Mart has a boxset of One Step Beyond episodes, and that's where we found it. Maybe yours would have it too? I think we found it in the cheap DVDs bin for $5 or less. I like it a lot better than the Twilight Zone, because most of the episodes' adventures seem more possible and plausible. And it's good fanfic material. X3
**nodnod.** They deserve a happy ending. ^^ And their banter is so much fun.
no subject
Date: 2008-01-15 05:33 am (UTC)Oh, that's awesome! Only $5? I'll definitely have to take a look. And we're actually going shopping tomorrow too!^^
Definitely! They deserve a happy ending many times over. And you can never have too much Cloud & Seph banter!^^
no subject
Date: 2008-01-15 05:36 am (UTC)Yay going shopping! XD
I think the low price probably has something to do with the episodes having fallen into the public domain, but it's still amazing. X3
Buwahaha. Chapter 2 has a lovely amount of such banter.
