The FAQs, ma’am. Just the FAQs.
General Comment:
I am basically an old man with an opinion and a website. That pretty much should tell you everything you really need to know about me.
I don’t mind if you disagree with something I wrote. As long as you aren’t insulting, you may leave a comment critical of my opinion or thought and it will be here for you to show all your friends how wise you are. However, if your comment crosses the line, I’ll ask you to move on and not come back. I really hate to ban anybody, but I have no use for anybody who will come into my home (virtual or otherwise) to insult me. And I’m really not fond of folks who use my site to insult each other. So if you’ll play nice, I promise I will too.
By the way, if you have never posted here before or you post a message that contains more than one link, your message won’t appear until after I’ve okayed it — which generally happens within 24 hours. The purpose of this, of course, is to keep spam from taking over the site. If your post hasn’t appeared within 24 hours, use the contact form to reach me and I’ll see what happened.
Questions and Answers:
Who are you?
- Well, as my bio says that I’m the classic example of old in body and young at heart. Actually, the heart is not that young either. I was born in the last century and am fairly confident that I shall die in this one. I’m not too complicated to understand or really all that deep. That is not to say that I am shallow, but I try to get by and try to get along. That pretty much sums up who I am.
When will you write another Justice League story?
- When my muse gets out of prison, which should be around 2045. (Yes, I’m kidding! Serious answer: I don’t know, but I’m always working on something and am surrounded by stories in various stages of completion. When it’s done, I’ll publish – not before.)
Why are Terry Winder stories on your fan fiction site?
- TW & I kind of grew up together, so I’m really fond of him. Besides he’s a much better writer than I am and it didn’t hurt that he paid me a lot of money to host his stories. Just kidding, folks. Terry Winder is and has always been my sock puppet. That’s why his stories are here.
Will you host my stories if I pay you a lot of money?
I have an idea for a story I want you to write. Can I send it to you?
- No. Please don’t send me ideas for your stories. The story you want will be much better if you write it yourself so that it’s exactly what you want rather than hoping that I will write what you want to read. Thanks anyway, though.
Why did they take the show off the air and can you get it back on?
- I’m sorry, but I have nothing to do with “the show” (any show) and like you was disappointed when it went off the air. If I could have kept it on the air, I ensure you the story would have ended differently for some of the major characters.
Will you read my story and critique it?
- If you post your story on the major fan fiction sites, I’ll read it and if I like it, I’ll post a comment. But I don’t comment on stories in progress or stories that aren’t complete or stray too far away from reasonable canon. And as a rule I don’t “beta” except for a select few (and if you have to ask, you should assume you are not one of the few.)
You’re a bit of an ass, aren’t you??
- Yes. Yes I am. Thank you for noticing.
Why did you write such a stupid post (or story) about (fill in the blank)?
- You’re right. It was stupid and I don’t know what I was thinking. I’m sorry. I appreciate you sharing your opinion with me and I promise not to write something as stupid the next time.
Who would win in a fight between Batman and (fill in the superhero’s name)?
- Batman, of course – if he had enough time to prepare. Of course the way to beat Batman to kill him as soon as you see him.
You keep saying you’re old in body. How old are you?
- Old enough to know that I don’t have to answer that question directly. But if you read my blog posts, you’ll get a general idea as to my age.
Why do you have this site?
- The real answer is that I wanted to have everything I wrote collected in one spot. In short, having my own site allows me to broadcast to the world that I exists and that I matter. This blog is very much a work in progress and is not so much a personal daily journal as it is a repository of my personal interest and experiences. Its primary purpose is to serve as my own self-amusement. In other words, I’m my own intended audience. But I sincerely thank you for reading.
This site is really boring. Why don’t you spice it up a bit?
I sent you an email and you never replied.
- I’m sorry. Don’t take it personally. I get lots of email, and sometimes my spam filter is too efficient. However, I read everything I’m sent, though, and please know that I appreciate your kind words. One fan letter is enough to make my entire day. That said, if your email was important, don’t be afraid to resend it. Because sometimes, I just plain screw up.But if you wanna just be chatty, I recommend following me on Twitter. I’m a lot better about replying, there.
Did you make these questions up?
- I wish I could tell you that I did, but I’m afraid these are actual questions I’ve been asked over the last 4 years. Just wanted to share.
