• 10:08:41: Top tip: If you want to find someone on Google, you will probably need their name and place of work
  
• 10:08:49: @Scarimonious Got a link to it?
  
• 10:17:16: @Scarimonious Never mind, found it!
  
• 11:28:31: @Scarimonious *goes to watch*
  
• 11:31:53: @Scarimonious Lol, I love the theory that people who hate LKH should go read Twilight. Pretty damn sound.
  
• 11:33:07: @SuHalfwerk Awesome! Well done ^_^
  
• 11:44:39: @Scarimonious And if we don't like it, we shouldn't read it! Or we should go write our own books! Ebert, dammit!
  
• 13:05:45: @Scarimonious Showing Them All is my number one motivation for doing anything ever
  
• 13:37:42: I can't feel sympathetic for people who don't take a full lunch break because they're "too busy" then complain they haven't eaten
  
• 13:37:57: Possibly this makes me a bad person?
  
• 15:43:19: A professor just tried to engage me in a discussion about string theory at the coffee machine! Can't they tell I'm an idiot?
  
• 15:51:09: @etaknosnhoj It may as well be Gordian Knot Theory for all I understand!
  
• 16:23:50: I'm so bored I'm considering setting up a Twitter account for Ethan to keep myself occupied... Does that cross a line? A crazy author line?
  
• 16:29:32: @janjonesauthor I've already killed 30 minutes just thinking about it. I think I'm onto a winner!
  
• 16:29:47: @emmaslaysvamps I thought she might!
  
• 17:20:25: So, it killed an hour and a half which makes it worthwhile. I gave Ethan a Twitter account - @ethan_banning. Follow for private dicking!
  
• 17:20:41: I'm going to get so many porn hits now...
  
• 17:30:48: @ktabic I don't think I have the mental dexterity for that!
  
• 18:49:33: @leatherzebra send it my way! When do you need it back?
  
• 20:02:27: @thetheoryof You must be looking for @ethan_banning. He gets all the porn

Writing Meme Day 2 - Characters For All!

2. How many characters do you have? Do you prefer males or females?

The lazy answer is, I really don't know. I have so many ideas dancing around my head, half-finished on my laptop, languishing all over the place, in fact, that the best answer I can give is "probably too many."

I don't have any gender preferences. The majority of my stories feature female protagonists, but there's no real bias in terms of how many of each I have, as far as I can tell. That said, if you asked me to pick my favourite characters from different stories, I think the men would win out... Ash from the Scarlett university, and Nicomedes and Ethan from AFTERLIFE definitely win there. But in the Urban Wolf novels, the ladies win the day - Ayla and Shannon are my favourites from that series. Hmm, this probably proves nothing...
