I didn't think I'd get thingie about OOTP, but I saw an article in mX today that reminded me about character death, and said it was (quote:) "a key character".

So, I warn you now. If anyone on my friends list spoils me, they will be dropped faster than a monk would drop Satan down a well. Even if they're Neil Gaiman.

1. What's your most interesting story you have going right now?
*wibbles* I have... I have to CHOOSE? Oh, the agony. The drama...
I really have no idea. The Unnamed Trilogy is the most complex. The creepy castle story is delicious horror. Maybe some sex too, I don't know. Haven't written a word of it yet. The Shadow Boys was STARTED today, which I am very excited about. I've been blocked about its beginning for a couple of weeks.

I'll pick Shadow Boys, because that's the one I'm in the headspace for most. That's the one with the heroine called "Lesley".

I always thought girl-Les[lie/ley]s were spelt LIE, like you... the Lesley in 10 Little Indians is female and is LEY. I am bemused, and I wonder which is originally the feminine spelling... I mean, FrancIs is the boy's, FrancEs the girl's in that case, and I always grouped Les[lie/ley] and Franc[e/i]s together in my head. I think I read about both of them in Enid Blyton, mebbe.

2. Best. dream. ever?
The one where I was friends with Neil Gaiman, and there were a group of us touring Europe. I remember a balloon trip over a cathedral, and having to wander around in some sort of crypt beneath, with open pipes of water (aquaducts?) filled with the bluish, slightly rotting limbs of babies.

...

Perhaps this is kinda wrong, but it was wonderfully gothy!horror (which I love), and Neil! I fantasise about being famous so I can meet him, possibly go for sushi. He's the sort of person I would kill my mother to get to have a conversation with (Neil, not my mother).

3. What's the creepiest villain you've ever come up with?
That's kinda hard. Most people would probably say Miranda, straight off, I guess... but I've been in her head (and vice versa) for too long, and she's much too much like me.

I think I'd probably have to go with scary!Draco from here, but he's not an original character per se. Otherwise, the person who cut up an angel.

It strikes me, as I write this, that I obviously don't have the best attitude to love. Hmm.

4. First words that come to mind when hearing, "GAY JESUS MOVIE!!!"?
Judas is finally gonna get him some.

5. What's your dream?
To make a living doing what I love. Ideally, writing. (Although I'd also love to be paid to act and sing, but that's neither here nor there.) And to move elsewhere. Preferably the UK. And to have my LJ friends nearby (especially Zan and Buhfly), so I could talk to them face to face at least once before I die. Is that too much to ask? Feh.


Hey, wouldn't it be cool if you and I went to see Matrix? We could sing exerpts from JC Superstar at all the boring bits. *grins*

Oh God, I know exactly what you mean. I just saw the article title and screamed, "Oh, you BASTARDS! What the hell is WRONG with you??" I mean, they're all nazi over security over this book, and then they print that article. >_

The one with spoilers in the possibly New York Times or similar? I ain't read it. *sigh of relief* Being in Australia and all.

Though I did read (over someone's shoulder) in our local daily trashy free paper that the NYTimes (or whoever printed it) is being taken to court over that.

1. Leslie is traditionally girls. Lesley is traditionally boys. BUT! Who the hell knows anymore. Alexis was originally a man's name. I'm still thrown when I hear it applied to a boy.

5. Heeheehee! I wanna move to London.

1. And since I wrote the above, I've come across a guy called Leslie. The fuck? *shrugs*

Alexis was the name of the son of the last czar of Russia, if I recall correctly.

5. We so have to. That would rock.

My libido is stoked by British accents. Want. Want now.
