Ask me some questions

General
I do not like memes. Very seldom do I actually read journals on FA, especially when they're these memes that seem to be going around. I think they're pretty impersonal and often times either to long or too retardedly specific.
So ask me some questions. One or one-hundred. Personal, artistic, omg fetish meme, whatever. Just do try to make them a little interesting and personal. If I get a response that's a long list of things like "How many roads must a man walk down?" or "y u no draw my 47 taild foxgrrl :( " Then I will call you retarded and make fun of you.
Get to it.

Also, do you write stories (beyond the comic) in addition to drawing? I only ask because it seems like you've got some really interesting backstory to some of your drawings.
I don't think I try to mimic any single artist, I built my "style" by copying that of other artists, usually in fanart and such. I'm actually a bit of a tracer, I often look at photos and artwork and use the same poses and clothing lines, etc.
2) I started out writing stories before doing comics, but they were pretty horrible. There are a few still floating around online under a pen name, which I won't disclose. I have a horrible habit of seeing another story's universe and then projecting my own characters (usually the self-insertion ones) into said universe, then modifying them to fit better. I do have stories, but I very seldom commit them to paper or text, they remain in my head as ideas. I just try to think more and more about their lives and different things that happen.
Example: Admiral Awesome was made as a joke. I started to think more and more about his powers and how they'd be used. I thought about his costume; could he make it? No, someone else would have to. A theater student studying costume and prop design. Would she keep his secret? Yes, but she'd want to be his sidekick. And he wouldn't want her to be. The city he's in, is it ripe with crime? No, it's a small city, a harbour city. There's already a leading superhero there, and you need a license to do heroing. She's a classic hero, flight, super strength, the lot. Metallic gold skin. Very media friendly, but getting up there in years and wants to move onto a bigger venue, at the same time not wanting to relinquish the city to any other hero. Perhaps this has a darker side. What kind of enemies does he fight? It's a harbour city; drugs, petty criminals, smuggling. It's a city that had convoys in WWII, so how about a formerly-sunken U-boat and it's zombie crew? There's a harbour so there'll be dumping, mutated sea life.
And that's how my train of thought works. There's even more than that to it, and that's just one idea.
