The rest of the questions.

OK, folks, they’re done. Sorry for the delay on these, but please know that having these to work on helped me keep my sanity during two exceptionally long flights to and from the Left Coast. Remember the rules:

MoonriddenGirl
1. A genie offers you three things:
– the word-smithing ability of any writer of your choice
– the story telling vision of any writer of your choice
– the family or group of artist friends of any writer of your choice.
These must come from three different writers. What writers would you choose for each?
2. Close your eyes and picture G in fifteen years. Describe what you see.
3. How would you explain why your enjoy role-playing games to somebody who thinks it’s all “Dungeons and Dragons played by geeks with oddly shaped dice”?
4. It’s the end of the world. You and a thousand others have been chosen to select items to be packed into a rocket that will be sent out to the stars as a memorial to what humanity was. You have total and absolute say on ten of these items. What do you select? Why?
5. What possession of yours have you owned the longest? Tell as much of it’s early history as you remember.

Antigone
1. You wake up one morning and your voice is completely gone, never to return. Would you still want to work in the music business as a songwriter, agent or in some other capacity? Is there another dream you’d choose to pursue instead?
2. You die unexpectedly, and your family has to write an obituary for the paper about you. They pool their resources and come up with enough cash to pay for a 150-word summary of your life.
– What would they write?
– If your ghost could come back and edit their work how would it correct them?
3. Describe the outfit you own that makes you feel best when you wear it. What does it look like? How does it make you feel?
4. Name a moment in your life that you wish you had a photograph of.
5. You’ve been given the chance to rewrite the ending to any movie of your choice. What’s the movie, and give a summary of the new ending.

Monstergue
1. “MONSTERGUE” can be rearranged to spell “some urgent” It can also be rearranged to spell “merges unto”. Put on your fortune teller hat, peer into your crystal ball, and imagine what significance DIAL-A-FORTUNETELLER might make of this.
2. Why did you choose your Dear Diary name?
3. A “binky” blanket, a stuffed animal, a favorite toy … we all had some special comfort item as young children. What was yours, and do you still have it?
4. Describe your dream get-away hide-away. Where would it be? What would it look like? What would you do there?
5. Name a person you have never met and who is not related to you who has made a major impact on your life. What is the significance of this impact?

Thubten

4. What was the single most beautiful thing you have seen in your life so far?
5. You have been given an acre of land and unlimited resources with which to build a monument of your choosing. What/who do you memorialize, and what form does the memorial take?

For Toverfee: I cheated a bit with yours. It’s one five-part question, but I suspect it ‘s going to be as much (if not more) work than five different questions.

Imagine you could write a note to yourself that you could place in a sealed envelope and know it would be delivered to yourself in twenty years. In this note talk to your 20-years-older self about the following things:

a – What are you afraid your 20-years-older self may forget about being the age your are now?
b – What do you imagine your older self’s life will be like?
c – What advice would you give your older self about “the younger generation”?
d – Write a paragraph to your older self that begins with the phrase “It’s OK if you…”.
e – Think of something that has happened to you in the past year or so that made you very happy and that you fear you may forget in twenty years.
