[melayneseahawk]

- Comment with "I see what you did there!"
- I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
- Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
- Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

from verizonhorizon:

1. If you could only eat 3 foods for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
Pasta. Chocolate. Strawberries. I don't even know.

2. What first drew you to shipping Kirk/Spock?
I watched TOS and the movies when I was little, and have been shipping K/S as long as I knew what shipping was. But I didn't get involved in this fandom until after STXI came out; for some reason that movie made me want to write in a way that TOS didn't. *shrugs*

3. What was your first fandom?
X-Files. Specifically Krycek/Mulder BDSM porn. Don't judge me.

4. Have you ever been in love?
Yes, actually. And got my heart broken, squashed, and then stepped on a few times for good measure. And yes, I'm still not over it.

5. What do you enjoy about writing?
I love being able to take stories from my head and show them to other people. I love being able to fill in the gaps that I see in canon, and I love creating new worlds and characters, too. I love when a story starts beating against the inside of my head, begging to be put on the page. I love challenging myself, whether it's writing in a different style or fandom or tense. Writing is awesome. :D

1. You started early, didn't you? :P

4. Heh.

5. Dunno. On the one hand, I've never GMed before, but on the other, I know the canon a heck of a lot better than you do. Again, I need to look at the play system; that'll have a lot to do with whether I'd feel comfortable GMing.

The gaming interest started even earlier, with a D&D choose your own adventure book from...2nd grade? That sounds right. Played my first elven fighter from that.

The system is d20-based, right?

It's probably best if you GMed, then, because I don't know the Stargate feel. I could watch some episodes, check a wiki, but I'd likely wind up creating an adventure which didn't feel overmuch like Stargate (or even "how I think Stargate should feel," which is even more tricky). I could do those with the franchises I follow, but definitely not SG.

Regardless of who's GMing, the first game is probably best run without any of the supplements, creating basic characters with minimal CharOp.

I can give oodles of GMing advice (in both writing adventures and running 'em) whenever you want. I kinda like going off at the drop of a hat on that score... :P

I do not recall, but I suspect it is d20.

Yes, I would totally run it straight-up the first time.

Advice would be awesome.

We'll see my thoughts on the system and stuff and reassess.
