Ask Me Anything December

[mhalachai]

In the spirit of getting to know all the new folks, I'm going to be doing a truncated December ask meme starting on Friday, so feel free to drop a question into the comments below and I'll queue it up!

Topics I'm particularly chatty about: Marvel stuff, Yuri on Ice, any of my fanfics (completed, wip, or rip), any of the old fandoms, the cultural zeitgeist of Buzzfeed Unsolved, Vancouver or BC, Sherlock Holmes, true crime.... and anything, really.

Ask away!

What do you carry with you?

Alternatively, if you'd like an entire post of post prompts to pick from, I just posted such a post!

[mhalachai]

I like that one! I'll add it.

And I saw that post - I think we were cross-commenting at the same time. I'll grab a few questions from that list :)

Posted! I mean it's a little depressingly introspective but that's where I ended up, so. https://mhalachai.dreamwidth.org/341841.html

oops, I was going to get this one done today but life got away from me (and the plot apparently is turning out to be loooong) so I'll get this done as soon as I can :)

[mhalachai]

OK posted now - thanks for your patience!

Wow, you remember a question from 2014? Kudos ^^
I look forward to your answer :)

[mhalachai]

I was actually going through my old entries to reorganize all my tags earlier this week and came across the 2014 listing and realized that I flaked out after 5 days :( so hopping to get to the answers this year, 4 years on...
