I've got a deployment call coming up, help keep me from falling asleep at my desk!

Pick a question to ask me:
1. Describe yourself how you would describe a character you’re introducing.
2. Is there any specific ritual you go through while/before/after your writing?
3. What is your absolute favorite kind of fic to write?
4. Are there any other fic writers you admire? If so, who and why?
5. How many words can you write if you sit down and concentrate intensely for an hour?
6. First fic/pairing you wrote for? (If no pairing, describe the plot)
7. Inspiration, time, or motivation. Choose two.
8. Why do you choose to write?
9. Do you ever have plans to write anything other than fic?
10. What inspires you the most?
11. Weirdest thing you’ve ever written/thought about writing/etc.?
12. A fic you wish you had written better, and why?
13. Favorite fic from another author?
14. Your favorite side pairings to put in?
15. Your guilty writing pleasure?
16. Do you have structured ideas of how your story is supposed to go, or do you make it up as you write?
17. Would you describe yourself as a fast writer?
18. How old were you when you started writing?
19. Why did you start writing?
20. Four sentences from your work that you’re proud of.

What's a deployment call?  It sounds like you're going to war.      m       :)

Oh, I know, isn't it terribly dramatic? We had the Go/NoGo meeting today already. It's just what they call the conference call we all sit on while they drop a new version of the application code into production. It takes a while to deploy it and get all the moving parts to sync up and everyone to connect to it properly & we all sit around & wait for something to break. Suuuuper exciting.
