My Interview as done by
vampamber
1) What's the worst pick-up line you've ever heard? (doesn't matter if it was to you, to a friend, or just random, I'm still curious)
Wot? I thought it'd be an interesting question.
Well, I suppose the worst one would have to be the time I was walking about in Oslo at summer, wearing a 'tropical paradise' t-shirt - a man then comes up to me, grabs my boobs and says 'tropical size, huh?' while nodding his head.
Needless to say, he didn't get any.
2) Which part from the Lord of the Rings trilogy were you most upset that they left out of the movies?
I'm torn between Faramir and Éowyn's romance and Legolas taking Gimli with him into the West. But since the latter is only in the appendixes, I suppose I'll have to say the former.
3) What would YOU say to Tolkien if you were able to meet him today? Other than the obvious "Aren't you supposed to be dead?", that is.
Why he felt England needed a mythology - what was missing without it.
4) What's it feel like, knowing just how popular your OFUM fanfiction has gotten, and did you ever expect it to get this big?
Um... How I feel about it tends to differ, actually. Some days, when I get some particulary good feedback that isn't way over-praising I rather like the fic being well-known. Whenever I get fanart, I'm mightly pleased about it all. Other days, I find it annoying. And I didn't really expect much of it, I just wrote it on a whim. It got rather big rather fast, which did surprise me - if anything, I thought maybe I'd get a few followers over time.
5) (gonna resteal this from Beat The Geeks) What's the geekiest thing about you?
I own Star Trek tapes?
Incidentally, if you'd rather ask me five questions instead of having me asking, just ask away in the comments and I'll answer.
Norway's future Queen! Isn't she cute? ('Neste bilde' means 'next picture' - and it's the Crown Prince himself who has taken the pictures.)
Annoyingly, I'm (about) one sentence away from finishing the next chapter of OFUM (before the beta has a go, of course) and I've been stuck on it for hours. Heeeeeelp...

Date: 2004-01-22 06:46 pm (UTC)What's the sentence supposed to be conveying? Is it essential? Is the problem you're having with fitting words around an idea, or with putting the laughs in? If the former, maybe your beta can assist. Beta could probably assist with the latter, too.
Best of luck.

Cute little Queen
Date: 2004-01-23 11:02 pm (UTC)If I may answer that question about the restraining order on a song...
Where Is The Love by Black Eyed Peas.
I detest that song with every fibre in my body. I have no idea why-It just irks me. *shrugs*
Incidentally, what would be your song to be restrained?
Re: Cute little Queen
Date: 2004-01-25 03:10 am (UTC)I'd like an interview, please!
Date: 2004-01-24 06:42 am (UTC)Re: I'd like an interview, please!

3) The French - do their good wine and good food excuse their stubborn refusal to learn English in your opinion?
4) If you could make one day in their year a holiday, which would it be, and what would you call it?
5) What would OFUM-Legolas do to Orlando Bloom if they ever met?
Cloud of calm-sarcasm needed
Date: 2004-01-25 04:27 am (UTC)2) Hmm. Depends on the meaning of 'hell'. If you're in Dante's version, and time, then far better to be in heaven, even if you are serving. Also, if you have faith, then that would appeal. On the other hand, if you're ruling *my* original's version of hell- hmm. Actually, still better to serve in heaven. Better than getting your arse kicked by demons. (and I realise that makes no sense, but is thought process)
3) They *do* learn English. At least, they speak it better than we speak French. Some people from my country believe if they speak slowly, and loudly, that compensates for walking into France, and expecting to be understood without bothering to learn the culture, or the language. I speak French, not fluently, but passably, enough to make myself understood, and I find they are much appreciative of the effort.
Plus, food and drink there- surpasses most.
4)21st July (I think) the Coup of Thermidor. Because Robespierre was an evil, evil man. And overthrowing him, and the end of the Terror is a very good thing.
5) Hide him, before the fangirls could get to him, then suggest, very politely, corrective surgery- so they can both relax a little.
Know it's a bit late for me to jump on the train, but-
Date: 2004-01-24 05:43 pm (UTC)Oh, and your future ruler is insufferably cute.
Re: Know it's a bit late for me to jump on the train, but-
Date: 2004-01-25 03:17 am (UTC)2) You've snowed in. Food is scarce. Who would you first eat in your household to save your own life - or would you be eaten?
3) Sunrise or sunset?
4) You could rename your country. What would you call it?
5) What would OFUM-Legolas do to Orlando Bloom if they ever met?
