Ganked from [livejournal.com profile] kevinjdog and others.

Choose twelve of your original characters in any particular order (NO PEEKING AT THE QUESTIONS AT THIS STAGE!). Then, answer the questions that follow.


1. Grendel
2. Willie
3. Cujo
4. Brian
5. Cleo
6. Sybil
7. Bartle
8. Scotus
9. Jack
10. Roger
11. Eartha
12. Monty



01. Who would make a better college professor, 6 (Sybil) or 11 (Eartha)?

Sybil's already one, but that does not speak to quality. I can't see Eartha being any different though, although she might have more amusing stories of misspent youth for her inevitable digressions.


02. Do you think 2 (Willie) is hot? How hot?

I'm married to the model. Well one of them; the other one is my wife's cat.


03. 12 (Monty) sends 8 (Scotus) on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?

The mission is to make sure Cleo doesn't take up with any male outside her breed. Cleo, however, is such an elitist that this mission is irrelevant, and its success immeasurable.


04. What is or would be 9's (Jack's) favorite book?

Wilderness First Aid, by William Forgey


05. Would it make more sense for 2 (Willie) to swear fealty to 6 (Sybil), or the other way around?

Well, Sybil would sure like it if Willie would, but Willie wouldn't. The other way would make no sense.


06. For some reason, 5 (Cleo) is looking for a roommate. Should (s)he share a studio apartment with 9 (Jack) or with 10 (Roger)?

Jack and Roger are partnered and share a ranch house in Endicatt with an attached garage. Cleo can live in the space over their garage.


07. 2 (Willie), 7 (Bartle) and 12 (Monty) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?

They go to LaMingotiere, and they discuss discuss non-competes. Bartle surreptitiously reads Derrida through the whole meal.


08. 3 (Cujo) challenges 10 (Roger) to a duel. What happens?

Her GTO SMOKES his Corvette at the track.


09. If 1 (Grendel) stole 8's (Bartle's) most precious possession, how would she/he get it back?

He'd order a new copy from Powell's and have the Bursar deduct it from Grendel's assistantship check.


10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 (Bartle) and 12 (Monty) both attain what they most desire.

Presidential Power


11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Brian) and 1 (Grendel) to work together?

A team project.


12. If 7 (Bartle) visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?

It would be tense. I would have to kill him after the 4th "Heideggerian."


13. If you could command 3 (Cujo) to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?

Get my ex-Saturn running again. Damn, I miss that car.


14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11 (Eartha)?

Alas, she is such a minor character I doubt most could put a face to the name even when I was updating regularly.


15. If 2 (Willie) had to choose sides between 4 (Brian) and 5 (Cleo), which would it be?

Probably Brian; Pretention wins over institutional evil.


16. What might 10 (Roger) shout while charging into battle?

By Bob Vila's Gonads!


17. If you chose a song to represent 8 (Scotus), which song would you choose?

Hugh Blumenfeld - "The Phenomenology Sing-a-long" (Michael Fitzco)


18. 1 (Grendel), 6 (Sybil), and 12 (Monty) are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?

Monty, with three little words: "my company's scallions."


19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 (Willie) to use on 10 (Roger)?

(not that she would in a million years, but . . .) Oooooh! Can I ride in it?


20. What would 5 (Cleo) most likely be arrested for?

Either insider trading or patent infingement. Hard to say.


21. What is 6's (Sybil's) secret?

She was the Romper Room Lady!


22. If 11 (Eartha) and 9 (Jack) were racing to a destination, who would get there first?

Jack. He would just walk, or drive, or whatever while Eartha was still drawing chalk circles on the forest floor in an effort to teleport.


23. If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 (Bartle) or 8? (or Scotus)

On the premise that I don't need to be faster than an attacker, just faster than my companion, either will do.


24. 1 (Grendel) and 9 (Jack) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Brian's) sinister secret organization. 11 (Eartha) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he/she is actually a spy for 4 (Brian). Meanwhile, 4 (Brian) has kidnapped 12 (Monty) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Cleo), they seek out 3 (Cujo), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?

Hot Rods to Hell
