Weekend Entertainment: Burning Questions

[sky_child]

Ever wanted to ask someone about their canon? Maybe something their character said about their world or story confused you, or intrigued you, and you want to know more? Or maybe you just feel like interrogating a player about why they chose to play a character, or what they like about a character, or whatever.

Welp, muns: post in with a list of characters, and then check around to see if there's anyone you want to ask your burning questions to!

DUDE. This is an awesome idea.

Cata, Villains By Necessity (dark_dancer)
Sam, Villains By Necessity (never_misses)
Claudia Donovan, Warehouse 13 (claudiometer)
Apollo, Percy Jackson 'verse (iamso_awesome)
Imp y Celyn, Discworld (not_elvish)
Regulus Black, Harry Potter (no_martyr)
Red Riding Hood/Ruby Lucas, Once Upon a Time (itrunsinthefamily)

And from the perpetual state of 'maybe sometime' (read: needs a specific canonmate):
Rebecca St. Clair, Warehouse 13 (abetter_shot)

[ceitfianna]

Why Imp? He's one of those Discworld characters that changes a lot but that its hard to get a clear sense of. What about him caught hold of your imagination?

[aberration]

Elle [ellectrical], Heroes
Asami Sato [mix_it_up], Avatar: The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra
Leslie Knope [friendswaffleswork], Parks and Recreation
Manny Calavera [thisgrimfandango], Grim Fandango

[bjornwilde]

At Manny; Can you make me a balloon animal? (I know not he spirit of the DE but I couldn't resist.)

[not_my_sandbox]

Well since mine are all from the RuneScape canon, you get Amascut (death_gone_mad)

Well, maybe Fairy Fixit for fanon answers about magical theory, the multiverse, and portals. Fairies and nexus/borderworlds, too, if you wish.

I doubt answering questions about Evil Chicken is possible.

[gone_byebye]

All right.

[not_my_sandbox]

For the part of your brain that pays attention to Team Fortress (and maybe Half-Life too):

Were you caught up in the rampant speculation over the run up to the Mann vs. Machine update, especially in regards to GRAY MANN == G MAN OMGOMGOMG HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED OMGOMGOMGOMG ?

Well, probably the better question is what do you make of attempts to connect TF2 canon to Half-Life/Portal canon?

[lunamystic]

Ask me anything! Except why I don't get off my rear and post most of these folks in more or at all, because then I will weep piteous tears of despair. Or something. :D

Alanna of Trebond the_lioness
Thayet peerless_thayet
Grace Hanadarko headed4hell
Elizabeth Turner try_corsets
Jim Craig snowy_river_man
Doctor Evil doc_evil
Karou a_mad_hope
Lana Kane truckasaurus_mitts
And possibly this app cycle: Georgia Mason cantkill_truth.


Also any of the OOM/sandbox folks as well (becareful_boyo, the triplets, etc).

[ceitfianna]

Is it hard to have Alanna rebooted and meeting with people that she sort of already knows?

Also how did Abigail come about? I love her so much, but never got a good sense of where she began.

Phonin' it in from Dragon*Con (in the Eureka Panel)

[wanderlustlover]

Star (Tarot)
Maid Marian (BBC Robin Hood)
Jean Grey | Phoenix (X-Men)
Edward Cullen (Twilight)

[knightoftheswan]

What drew you to play a card from the Tarot? How did Star take shape for you as a character, being a/being based on a card?

[muji]

Mal Reynolds
Sallie Reynolds
Carlisle Cullen
The Phantom
April Ludgate
Iris

[the_gene_genie]

Gene Hunt
Ramon Salazar

...and I'll chuck Harry Potter and Bruce Wayne into the mix, though I'd be pretty surprised if anyone here had questions about either of their canons. I might be wrong! I can always be interrogated on whatever point, obviously. :)

Sending this in from holidays!

[battle_butler]

This isn't really a question about the canon, but, where is Bruce in canon?

(Appropriate journal is being apped this cycle).

[kd7sov]

Ask away!

Golden Sun (Felix, venusadept_2)
Final Fantasy IV (Kain Highwind, baron_dragoon)

[morethanprops]

Why do you like playing supehero/comic book characters so much?

[imagemist]

Interesting

Elrond (LotR)
Eric Northman (True Blood)
Clay (Passion of Darkly Noon)

[morethanprops]

Why Eric? He seems quite different from your other two.

I'm feeling a little off today and this looks fun.

[minkhollow]

Which aspects of your characters do you find the most challenging? The most rewarding?

(And can I just say again how amused I am that you have dames coming and going for Dem's icons, now? XD)

Okay, let's do this thing, brain.
