Kman999 asked David Wong:

If you were offered to be a show runner for a TV show based on one of your ideas (old or new), would you take it?

David Wong No, I'd be happy to work on scripts or break story ideas, I may even fly out there to see everyone now and then. But I have no desire to work in Hollywood. I've been offered writing stuff out there and have turned it down, that's just not where I want to live. Other people love it (including my co-workers at Cracked), it's not for me.

I guess I wrote all the above insinuating that I could actually do that job if offered, I don't mean it that way, my answer would be the same for an offer to take a spot on a show's writing staff. Just not my thing.

What are your feelings on flashbacks? I'm writing a story and I'm not sure how to work in a character's -relevant- backstory in a way that won't be clunky and distracting.

Dani asked David Wong:

I was rereading JDATE recently and I realized you almost perfectly articulated the shame that comes from beinging in a special ed student (that's even what they called it in elementary). Was it just a lucky guess or did you know/be in special ed class?

Betty asked David Wong:

One of the things I really admire about your work with Futuristic Violence is how well you wrote an authentic female POV. What is your process for writing a witty but vulnerable female character?
