Questions and Answers

So, I sent a note out to all of my watchers that I was holding a Q&A. I've gotten some pretty good questions, I must say. 

asks: What Genre of Stories do you like?
Action/Drama: I feel that people only see these two genres when they think of writing. Doesn't change that they're enjoyable to watch/read. I placed these two things together because they go so well hand in hand, as action scenes can easily lead to drama and drama can lead to action.
Comedy: I like to laugh. I have a soul. My favorite style of humor is dry humor, for what it's worth.
Slice of life: I LOVE this kind of thing when done right. You can have comedy, drama, and action with deluding the show/book/story.

asks: What do you consider to be art?
Oh boy... this one. It's going to be a long one.
To most people, they think of Art as paintings (The Monalisa), Really good books (Brave New World), movies (Saving Private Ryan), or even video games (Insert you game of choice). And that's understandable, since it seem every critic want to say what is and isn't art, and the certain things can't ever be art where as some things are.
Now when I think of art, I think of the mediums in general. I think movies have an art to them. I think drawing/painting has an art to it. So does writing. And animating. And video games. Almost everything has an art to it. That's why we have the phrase "down to an art."
To me, the mediums in which things are delivered have an art to it. That's what I think of when I think of art as an abstract concept.
One big debate is "when does something become art?" Well, for me, the medium becomes art when you have a defined set of rules. There are reasonable expectations for what art has to be. There are something things that can be art, and some that can't.
And then someone smashes those pretensions with a sledgehammer, to make their work a work of art.
To me, you've become a medium of art once you've been challenged. It's not a medium of art when the "art critics" give you standards to follow, but rather when someone tries to challenge that. Because at that point, you can evolve.
That's why I don't agree with most art critics - they're too closed minded to allow not just the mediums, but the idea of art to grow or evolve.

had a a lot of questions. I'm going to answer most of them.
Got any special ships?
Rather than go over all of them, let me show you one an explain why I ship characters in the first place.
I ship Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuuga. So, why do I ship them?
The First Layer: Chemistry! I think the first layer for a good relationship between characters is Chemistry. This is what makes me decide if I would ship these characters at all. After all, what good is a couple that can't interact in an interesting or meaningful way? So, of what most Naruto fans consider to be the main 5, here are my shipping ideas on the first layer:
Naruto and Sakura: I'd ship them. Naruto's eagerness mixes well with Sakura's carefulness. Both can be rather blunt.
Naruto and Hinata. The whole "Shy Girl who likes the somewhat clueless hero" is a cliche that I like.
Naruto and Ino: I don't see anything between these two. Honestly, Ino struck me as the kind of person Naruto would just hang around and that's it.
Naruto and Tenten: Based on Tenten's personality from the anime and spin-offs... sure. I could see these two. Both can be a bit obsessive and nuts for training.
Naruto and Temari: Maybe it's bias because I don't like Temari that much as a character... but no. I don't see much between these two.
The second Layer: Romantic Interest! This is what makes me WHAT to see a couple together. If one side is romanicaly interested in the other, than it makes the idea of the "ship" more likely to have a "smooth sailing" in my eyes. So, with that in mind, here is my Naruto shipping list for the main five - from "best to worst:"
Naruto and Hinata: Hinata straight up likes (loves after the time skip) Naruto. Naruto not only likes being around her, but even has a reason for it. ("You're very weird Hinata... I like that!")
Naruto and Sakura: Naruto for most of the series had an attraction to Sakura, and Sakura did grow more fond of being around him. However... Naruto's attraction was just that - an attraction to the cute girl in his village.
Naruto and Tenten: I think this couple would top Naruto and Sakura if these two interacted more in the main series. There's chemistry, but no interaction.
Naruto and Temari: These two have interacted more than once, and seem to be allies at most.
Naruto and Ino: I seriously don't get why anyone would ship these two beyond the idea that they are attractive blondes with blue eyes.
So... Yeah, that's my taking on shipping characters. The Chemistry makes me support the idea, but the romantic interest is what makes me WANT them to be together at days end.
Do you write non fan fics too?
*Cough* *Cough* Jack and Bonbon *Cough* *Cough*
In case you don't count that, I AM writing a novel. So... yeah.
favourite fan fictions
Oh... Tough one. Let me give you the first one I ever read that I liked. Hinata's Bravery. I can't seem to find this one on DeviantART anymore. Which is sad, as it was a "slash" fic with an actual story to it. If you can manage to find it, I recommend you give it a read.
Also, most Strike Witches fan fics that aren't porn are pretty damn fine.
Are you really a golden Unicorn from the far world of the urmawrild here to take over our minds and soul with fanfiction?
No. The Golden Unicorn part is just a cover-up for the mind and soul control through writing.
Will you be my valantine?
Uh... I need to know how old you are first. That's kind of a big deal.
When's your birthday?
Sept. 13.
Will you attend a really long but kinda interesting lecture or a very short boring one?
I fell asleep before I could answer this one.

asks the following:
What got you into Strike witches, and writing fiction in general?
I certain reviewer (whom I will not name) gave it a VERY negative review. (I plan to do a response to it someday... when I can find a copy of the review. But I watched it... and I hated Strike Witches. I actually made Strike Witches Assault out of spite and anger. Yeah... I then realized that I haven't seen the series in years. So I re-watched it. And... I'm not sure what changed, but I really liked it this time. Probably because I could appreciate the little things this time around. So I re-worked the story, ended up getting a co-writer, and ultimately ended up being my most serious work in years. And it got me so passionate about writing.
Favorite character, color, food?
Character: This deserves it's own Editorial.
Food: I like Chicken
Color: I can't think of one.
How do you write a chapter?
I plan an entire arc, giving each chapter a basic synopsis. Then I write each chapter with a general idea of where the entire thing is going. Which is how I can plan so far ahead. Now if only I could update my stories faster...
Are Bananas a good source of vitamins in a healthy Diet?
Probably. Although you shouldn't eat THAT many of them. Serious, 1 a day might be pushing i depending on who you are.

asks the following:
Why do you like Strike Witches Assault?
It's an openly silly serious with it's serious moments and some nice (albeit very simple) characters. I do wish there wasn't some much "fanservice" bits, but I don't think it ruins what I like about the series.
What is your fav anime?
I don't have one, but my favorites include (but not limited to):
Naruto
Fairy Tail
Squid Girl (~geso)
Strike Witches
Avatar: The Last Airbender ()
Have you every considered drawing?
Yep. My hands aren't very steady. I've considered trying to pick it back up and take some lessons.
Do you have any siblings?
Nope.
Hope thats enough have a great day
Thanks, Mate.



asks the following:
Who is your favorite male super hero of all time?
Deadpool's not much of a hero... but he sure is entertaining.
Who is your fictional female super hero?
I'm guessing this means favorite female super hero. I like the Powerpuff Girls. She's more of a villain, but I think Harley Quinn can be interesting. Most of my favorite female characters come from anime and aren't super heroes.
If you create a super hero based on life experiences who would you create?
I can't think of anything in my life that would make for a good comic character, but as for a super hero in and of itself... I guess a hero with dirty consciousness but who is more than willing to kill people.  Basic the opposite of Batman.
Which character of any movie or television show living or dead you admire? 
Interesting... I've never been asked this. I might have to give this one it's own Editorial. I'd give it to the cast of High School of the Dead (I call it "The GOOD Walking Dead").

Asks:
Why your username?
This was going to be a review channel at some point. Naturally, that didn't end up happening. So this account went used for at least a good year. Then I started writing for Strike Witches Assault, and I need an account to place it on. I then remembered that I had this old account, and decided I'd upload Strike Witches Assault here. Then... Well, it sort of just took off from there.
She also gave me some good advice for these I'll be sure to use next time. Thanks.

asks:
Any Ideas for future Fanfiction?
Ah. Hello, Co-Writer. Sorry I haven't been writing - life got busy and I have 3 stories to juggle on FFN alone.
But yeah. I have future Fan Fics planned out. The one I know I'm going to do is Squid Girl: Cyber Chase through Cyber Space. I'm waiting until I finish one of my other fics. Sounds Complicated will likely be first - I'll probably have it done by mid spring since that one will be 20 Chapters at most.
