Ask Slowswift Anything

I'm a younger sibling! I'll have you know us younger sisters are gracious, beautiful, articulate, and... Okay, fine, annoying, but so are older brothers!

Anyway, on topic, what's your favorite type of weather? Sun, rain, thunderstorms, overcast?

Thought I'd revive to see if anyone'd ask things. I like questions. For some reason. Introvert who loves people asking him questions. Weird.

What is your opinion on gay marriage?

[+Slowswift]

What is your opinion on gay marriage?

 

Ah, the Question.

 

I'm against the redefinition of marriage. I believe that marriage is between one man and one woman.

 

The Family: A Proclamation to the World and this letter.

 

Basically, as Brandon himself actually said, I wouldn't mind if civil unions were legal for gays. The question comes down to whether it's actually "marriage".

 

Also, I'm kinda annoyed at the Supreme Court because Tenth Amendment.

How is NaNo going? If you don't mind my asking...

[+Slowswift]

Um. I'm behind. Oops. I went camping for a few days (just got back, in fact) and didn't get a buffer up. So now I have to write ~4000 words.

What is your favorite fountain pen?  Fountain pen Ink?  Paper?  

[+Slowswift]

Ooh, them's good questions. For favorite pen, I'd have to say it's a tie between my Lamy 2000 and Pilot 823. As for ink, I don't know if I have a favorite single ink, but I tend to like blues and purples. And I'm a total convert to Tomoe River; it handles ink like none other and the texture is marvelous. I don't yet know how the new stuff'll stack up, but I'm optimistic. Either way, there's plenty of paper out there, and I look forward to trying more of it.

Cool.  I also have a Lamy 2000 (EF), and I'm lucky enough to have gotten some original TRP a few years ago.  I use it sparingly!

A canner can can anything that he can... but a canner can't can a can.

 

...Can he?

The only limit is your determination. It's cans all the way down, baby.

Why do you like Sanderson?

Sorry I've taken so long to respond! Honestly, I've been trying to think of an answer that isn't just "Uh...because I do?" My first Sanderson was Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians when I was, what, ten years old? Li'l gremlin me loved their rather unique sense of humor--I was (and am) a simple man. Given that I was already an avid reader, it was only natural that as I got older, I got my hands on his other books. I've always loved fantasy, so Brandon's best-in-class worldbuilding pulled me in, and his character work kept me there. Once I finished The Hero of Ages, I was in for life.
