Questions for the General FAQ.

We've done music. We've done (and are still doing) horror. Writing is pretty solid. Now here's the amorphous one:

Who has questions for my GENERAL FAQ?

Be creative, but also ask what you'd like to know that isn't directly tied to music, horror movies, or writing. Thank you all so much for your help!

You, she said fondly, are a goose. :)

I know you once toured in "Into the Woods". What's your theatrical background?

And, just because I saw this and thought you'd like it:

Thanks for the question! It's on the FAQ.

Also, HEE.

Lo, I have answered one, three, and four, and left off number three as being just a little too specific. :)

Did you used to work for Disney?

[identity profile] seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com 2009-02-26 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. But that was years ago, and the past is another country.

Do you have a preferred brand of chainsaw?

[identity profile] seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com 2009-02-26 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Not so much! Whatever goes 'rrrrrrrrrrrm,' really.

- With your various forms of creative outlet, what/whom do you consider your major influences and how have they changed over time, if at all?

- How do you handle "failure" (by whatever definition you choose)? (I see this as different from "rejection," but it's up to you.)

- When do you expect the "Seanan McGuire" clothing line to hit the boutiques?

1. What branch of the services are you? If we enlist, will we be spared when the world is yours?

2. Which is your PRIMARY creative outlet? Cartooning, Singing, or Writing?

3. Any plans to ever make a comic, either sourced from one of your songs, or from one of the myriad books in your head?

[identity profile] seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com 2009-02-26 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Answered the second, didn't answer the third (it was redundant, given that we're going to be posting my comic strip archive), didn't understand the first. What services do you mean?

Sorry, bad pun.

You asked for a General faq, and the enlistment part was a reference to your glee for apocalyptic devices and stories.

Irish Gypsy? What's up with that?

So what's the deal with DDP?

So where's your inner child hanging these days?

Because this question has always interested me, and I only know you did it because of your 100 Surreal Things list; what character(s) did you voice in Rescue Rangers? :D

And also, what other colors besides orange do you love?

[identity profile] seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com 2009-02-26 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Not tellin', for fear of cranky lawyers.

Also, green.

[identity profile] ladyamber.livejournal.com 2009-02-26 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I make sad faces at the cranky lawyers. D:

Green is an awesome color. My engagement stone was an emerald. :D

What many and varied animals have inhabited your menagerie over the years?

What is your dayjob?

How many and what kind of siblings?

Your favorite book, song, poem, piece of art?

[identity profile] seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com 2009-02-27 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Good questions!

[identity profile] maverick-weirdo.livejournal.com 2009-02-27 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
Not sure if this is TMI for a "professional blog" so I'll just ask the questions and let you decide what's appropriate.

How is your back doing?

What type of exercise do you like?

What is your favorite food/flavor?

What is your favorite video game?

What Planet are you from?

Dinosaurs or Microorganisms?

Several of these have been answered -- thank you!

Since someone asked what your day job is, continuing that line of thought... Do you hope to eventually quit your day job and just write exclusively or do music exclusively or both? What types of day jobs have you had previously? Have any of your day jobs encouraged or discouraged your muse? How do you find balance in all of your hobbies and your real life? Is there a difference between your hobbies and your real life? Where can I get my very own Seanan? Wow I had a lot more questions than I expected to.

Several answered -- thank you!

The more I read on your website the more questions I have to ask for you. Your obsession with dangerous creatures... when did it start what are your favorites why Australia? And what about swamps? Did you grow up around them? A special penchant for dangerous creatures that live in swamps? How about the obsession with plagues and disease? Where did that start how deep does it go? Why do you have so many biographies? Are you enjoying all of these questions?
OK I need to go to bed and stop channeling my inner two year old. Goodnight!

Thank you -- I've answered several more.
