Mm, posty.

melpomenes_mask asks - I tell all!

1: Given an opportunity to trade one artistic talent (drawing, painting, fiction-writing, poetry-writing, singing, music, etc) of yours for a different but greater artistic talent, which would you trade for what and why?

Goodness.

If I had to trade, I would trade singing for drawing. I desperately want to be able to draw well, and I don't think I'm ever going to get much mileage out of my voice.

I don't think I'd make any trade if I didn't have to, though. Even though I'm not going to get much mileage out of my voice, I still value my ability to sing.

2: What's your Worst Pun/In-Joke Ever in character creation for a RPG? Which game? What did the GM or the players think, if you've used the character?

Owlam, Malakite Archangel of Art. It's a pun that requires at least two languages to comprehend - Hebrew, for the word 'owlan ("long"), and Latin, for the proverb Ars longa, vita breva ("Art is long, life is short").

3: Personal biggest example of the Train Wreck Phenomenon? (Or, in translation, what TV show/book/movie/fanfic series/RPG/LJ-community/what-have-you do you keep coming back to and checking for updates and reading obsessively even though you know it's bad?)

Aie.

For a long time it was Piers Anthony's Xanth novels; I stopped reading them after the badness completely overwhelmed me. More recently, The New Adventures of Bobbin, which I utterly loathe but still couldn't stop reading. (I finally did, a few weeks ago - coincidentally, around the time the strip went on hiatus.) Now... well, I'm trying to cut back on reading things I hate. ^_-

4: You're being inserted into a single video game of whatever kind. Which one is it, and what kind of character are you?

Hm. Definitely a "role-playing" game (Final Fantasy Whatever), as either the engineer-type or the White Mage.

5: You can get the drive and inspiration to finish one personal project and do it well - but you won't be able to touch any of your other projects while working on the first, and you'll lose your inspiration for all other projects for a year, starting when you finish the first. Which project do you finish?

The one that I think I've mentioned all of once, anywhere - Progress: d20 Steampunk. ^_^
