Default People, new and old, please introduce yourselves - 08-22-2005, 11:10

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
It's the name of an old roleplaying character who was one of my favourites. I used it the first time I had to register a username online, since I couldn't think of anything else, and I've used it ever since.

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
Female.

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?
I'm 23 until this October, living in Hastings, UK (Hi, Donna!), with Garner, to whom I am married.

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)
Films and books are totally different media, and a book translated into film is never going to be the same. I would go to see a Discworld film if it were made, and expect it to be a decent film (providing Pterry had significant input in making it), but it would never compare to the books for me. In all likelihood, the film would suck though.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
Read TCOM and LF graphic novels when I was 13, then read the first novels up to Sourcery, which was far as our school library went. When I was 17, I found G!G!, read all the Watch books and continued from there.

6) what's your personal quote of the day?
I'm not tense, just very, very alert.


Mrs G
The Garner who cares.
