Will Calculator be appearing in your Batgirl run?
Probably not…I like him, I just never felt I had the best handle on him. Sorry!
Do you ever get frustrated when there's a really problematic comic/show/movie/etc. with some really great women character but that has some really problematic and misogynist themes underlying the story? .... I'm trying to talk to people about Game of Thron
It happens a lot, and as an aside, I think I am actually done with Game of Thrones. It’s brilliant in many ways, but I have started to feel punished rather than entertained.
I don’t expect films and books to be ‘perfect,’ I don’t even know if that’s a goal anyone should be striving for.
I don’t think there’s a hard line, either. I seem to tolerate some books and films better than others with similar content. I don’t know if that’s something in me, or something in the media.
I don’t have any answers for this at all, I just realized.
Happy Birthday to the only Donut I really care about.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,...
Happy Birthday to the only Donut I really care about.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MISS!
I don't know if this is a weird/stupid question, but is there anything in particular you are interested in hearing about from fans when you meet them at conferences? What do most people say to you? (I may or may not be insecure about meeting you in London
The readers aren’t there for me, I am there for the readers. They can say whatever they like, or nothing at all.
Honestly, please don’t be insecure, just come up and say hello and if you want to talk about anything, please do.
Lots of people talk about things like; their favorite stories or characters, their activism, representation, their own creative aspirations, all sorts of topics. Please don’t feel you have to be particularly charming or wickedly clever, it’s very difficult to be any of those things in a noisy con line (and I myself routinely barely manage to be even remotely interesting most of the time).
Just relax, come and have a great time,feel free to say whatever you like!
I will be delighted to meet you, I promise.

I saw a woman at the Austin airport today who looked like you but I was too timid to approach. That wasn't you, was it?
I get this a lot, for some reason. Nope, I am home all day in Oregon.

I had the pleasure of writing an intro to this collection of romantic tales featuring superheroes and supervillains.
It’s a very entertaining, lively, and sometimes slightly saucy book featuring many different kinds of characters, told by some very, very talented writers.
It’s great fun.It just came out, and I hope you will give it a shot.
Paperback is just $9.45, Kindle edition is just $2.99.
Try it, you’ll enjoy it!
Reblogging for signal boost on this very entertaining book!
