Delightful Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 Joe: Oh, I thought those were the same story. Kaladin because he's awesome. Like I don't think I'd want to be his friend because he's kind of scary, but maybe as a member of Bridge Four. Jasnah because she's smart, intellectually honest, and charismatic. She's also powerful, feminine and really cares about her inner circle. She would be a great friend, or at the very least someone with whom to have a really interesting conversation. Quiver: Not regularly, but I do know the feeling. 1
Quiver he/him Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Is your AMA title from the song by Queen? If so... is it your favorite Queen song? And if it isn't, what's your favorite Queen song?
Delightful Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 It's not, itIt's because I was feeling peer pressured into creating an AMA. So I thought I didn't know any queens songs; Wikipedia tells me I do (bohemian rhapsody, we are the champions, we will rock you). I couldn't say which is my favourite though.
Quiver he/him Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 (Oh, finally found the starter question! Well, I played Gold and Silver a few times, but my favorite starter for that series was usually Totodile; I liked Feraligator a lot. Since I had one copy and my brother had the other, we would always start and reset the games a few times so we could get all three starters from the begining lol) You managed to name three Queen's songs without mentioning my favorite. (Princes of the Universe) Do you delight in mocking my musical preferences? 1

It is my life's mission to purposely mock the unknown-to-me musical preference of my friends. How could you possibly think otherwise?

How could you possibly think otherwise? Please direct all questions to my largely inactive AMA, dear. Anyway... favourite animal?
Delightful Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 Not something I think about terribly much, but what came to mind was a giraffe, because they're so absurd and graceful.
Quiver he/him Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Do you have a nickname? What nickname do you wish you had?
Delightful Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 I do have a nickname which I'm happy with. If I could choose any other.......I have no idea.
Kobold King he/him Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Don't answer this if you don't want to, but... are you Jewish? You wrote an exquisite and realistic story about a Jewish girl for that writing prompt thing, you've expressed a desire to see Israel, and you've expressed personal hurt over the anti-Semitism that abounds dark corners of the Internet. Are you, then, of Hebrew descent? What's your favorite thing about living in Australia? Have you ever come across any of the unique fauna or flora of your continent?

Are you, then, of Hebrew descent? What's your favorite thing about living in Australia? Have you ever come across any of the unique fauna or flora of your continent? I am very much a Jew. And definitely of Hebrew descent - I know via family tradition that I'm a direct descendant of Moses' brother Aaron, which is awesome, if not uncommon. I've seen some Australian flora and fauna. I don't know if they're Australian, but I've seen these adorable tiny monkeys in the zoo - they're smaller than your palm. I've also seen kangaroos, in zoos, in the wild and once remarkably on the street (it was a pretty remote location though). I've aeen dingoes and platypuses, and once stroked the back of a tiny cute echidna. I'm not as good with flora, but I've seen a ton of eucalyptus trees and other trees I could define as "they look Aussie" but I have no idea what they're called. My favourite thing about Down Under.....it's a physically beautiful place, and also the people are pretty laid back and friendly. Also, Vegemite, and fairy bread. . Edit: and how could I forget the kookaburras? I don't see them too often, but I sometimes hear them. Edited July 11, 2015 by Delightful 3
Quiver he/him Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 What is be your least favourite book by Brandon, and why?
Delightful Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Toss up between Elantris and Warbreaker. Elantris actively annoyed me, I thought the prose wasn't all that good, and the POV structure drove me a little crazy. I've still read it twice, and I like the plot and characters. This is actually probably My least favourite, though it's still decent. Warbreaker doesn't exactly bother me, but I don't find it super memorable or immersive, I don't fall into that world like I do Scadrial or Roshar. I thought the whole Susebron/Siri thing was super awkward rather than funny. It's a cool book, and id read the sequel and recommend it, but I'd put it in a mental category of "hey, this was a great book and I'd pretty definitely read the sequel" as opposed to "ITS SANDERSON AND AMAZING FANGIRL SQUEAL", you know? 1
WayneSpren he/him Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) How do you get some of the endless hug supply? Edited October 8, 2015 by WayneSpren
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Sure! *big warm squishy hugs* Thank you! 1
Haelbarde he/him Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) The idea of getting hugs from someone who could disintegrate you with their hands is... slightly intimidating... Edit: Also, your avatar makes your title slightly ironic, don't you think? Edited October 16, 2015 by Haelbarde
Delightful Posted October 16, 2015 Author Posted October 16, 2015 Which bit of the title? I mean......anyone could like punch you or be violent and scary. And I assume you still accept hugs IRL? I only use my powers against bad guys and evil dragons.
Haelbarde he/him Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 'Pressure'. Fortunately she was so overprotective that she'd accidentally hurt herself. And yeah, no problems with hugs. Just wouldn't want to be hugged by Dark Pheonix from X3...
Delightful Posted October 16, 2015 Author Posted October 16, 2015 Oh. That title. Yeah I see your point. . I....don't know who that is. Ok.
