Interview One: Standardised Stupid Question Set [not real time questions]

Subject of Torture: Kage

So how did you get interested in Prince of Tennis?

~ One of my friends introduced it to me via 10.5 and 20.5. It was during our summer term at university, and we had these awfully long breaks between the classes - not to mention the fact that our professor liked to take his time in coming to class. So when she whipped out these manga, I was fascinated and curious, since I'd been out of the manga/anime fandom loop for a very long time. Even if I couldn't understand a lick of Japanese, the art was good. I asked questions, my friend answered them, and she lent me the first season. After that, I was hooked, and have never looked back since.

When did you start writing?

~ I've been writing (as in with the goal of taking it seriously in the future) since I was twelve.

What started this interest in writing Dream Novels?

~ I came across the website Teni-Puri.Net, and had a lot of fun reading them. From there, it wasn't that long till I wanted to write them, and was looking for an avenue to post whatever work I had. After all, it's no fun writing DNs unless someone reads them right?

Favourite genre of writing?

~ Absolutely anything, though I prefer writing in third-person limited perspective. I can write in any genre, though I've always been good at writing historical, quasi-sci-fi, fantasy, and the occasional occult/supernatural fic - usually anything that requires even the least smidgen of research. Oh, and throw romance in there too - because nothing's any really ever fun unless someone gets kissed, or close to it, anyway.

Favourite Tenipuri character, and why?

~ Tezuka Kunimitsu, because although some people consider him dry toast, I see a man who just needs the right person to loosen him up.

Least Favourite, and why?

~ Um... No one, really... But if Shinjou were to come a-courting, I'd run in the opposite direction.

If stranded on a remote island with one Tenipuri character, who would you rather it be?

~ Tezuka, hands-down.

If you got to go out with a Tenipuri character, who would it be?

~ Again: Tezuka.

Character you think you are most similar to?

~ According to my best friend, I'm like Minami.

Favourite Tenipuri Song?

~ I have two: Driving Myself (2nd. Opening) and Brand New Days by the Guaba Trio.

Pointlessness of this interview/survey?

~ It's not really pointless, actually. *grins*
