4. Answer 11 questions posted by the nominator, and ask your nominees 11 questions.
01. When did you start writing? - I honestly can't remember when I didn't write. It's been a hobby since I was a child. I really don't know if I consider writing my legacy challenge as the true extent of my talent; it's more like a incentive to get me actually writing in the first place.
02. Are any of your characters or situations based on real people or events? - Simple women who not only blessed by goddesses, but have the power to complete their gestation period within a matter of days? Not particularly. :P
03. What inspires you to write? - I honestly just feel like I have to. It's probably not the healthiest motivation, but if I don't write, I know that I'll beat myself up over it later. I don't like feeling lazy, which really doesn't explain my taste for procrastination.
04. Which of your characters is your favorite? - I miss Carlos Veea from my old 100 Baby Challenge. He was always a voice of reason to my (admittedly bland) main character, and was a complete dork. Kind of like the IRL boyfriend of mine he's named and based off of. I do get inappropriately attached to the baby daddies I tailor specifically as donors for my MC, though.
05. Who is your favorite author? - There's a weird thing about me and favorites. I just can't choose one. And it's not a "I love so many!" sort of deal - it actually makes me anxious trying to sift through everyone I read and choosing one shining example to pin as my "favorite". I don't know if this is a strange byproduct of natural anxiety or if I'm just strange.
06. What kind of books do you read? - I am utterly, stubbornly eclectic. Rule of thumb - if I can buy it for a dollar, it'll probably end up in my collection. As for my library visits, I've recently been drawn to graphic novels.
07. If you could use the Sims Time Machine, where would you go and why? - This is probably boring, but I don't think I'd want to go anywhere in particular. Go back in the past, and women are horribly oppressed. I can't keep my mouth shut for a second, and I'd end up in a jail cell in no time - or worse. Go to the future, and you might accidentally ruin something that changes your past. I don't mess around with the butterfly effect.
Am I thinking too much about this?
08. You're stranded on a deserted island with 4 characters from your story(ies). Who are they and what do you think would happen? - I only need one. Spatia, my Goddess of Space, specializes in transporting the Goddesses from place to place. Let's hope my mortal body can survive the travel.
But in all seriousness. I'd probably want Marine and Neptune from my first challenge; they're twins who were whizzes when it comes to boat mechanics, and could probably help design something to help us get off said island. Seth Iterum from my current challenge has lived on a beach for the entirety of his life, and he's a great mechanic, so he's an obvious choice. Provided that's he's alive in this particular instance, unlike in my story (hey, he dies in the first few paragraphs, so I doubt it's much of a spoiler). Hensly Dukes, again from my first challenge, specializes in botany. It would help to know what plant life on the island was edible.
09. If you could be any character from a book or movie, who would you be and why? - When I was a kid, I really wanted to be Matilda, sans violent parents. Now older, I still feel a close connection with Matilda, but I don't think Matilda would really be Matilda without her horrid caretakers; it's a central part of her identity. I guess that's the closest I can really think of in terms of books. If extended to video games, I would no doubt want to live in Animal Crossing. It would be a simple, but fulfilling, life to live in the town of your choice with friends of your not-so-choice.
10. If you could marry the man/woman of your dreams, who would you choose and why? - I think it would be kind of weird to have the perfect person. Whoever I'm with needs to have flaws. This is an interesting question and all, but I don't really have an answer.
11. Sims have a lot of quirky and fun inventions and objects not found in real life. If you could choose one thing (for example, spellbook, time machine, Bonehilda) what would it be and why? (Feel free to choose from any of the amazing custom creations as well e.g. Pose Player, Pregnancy controller, lighting tweaks, etc.) - ...the ability to download free clothes from an online exchange would be pretty amazing, no?
