That's entirely inspirational! :)

My favourite flowers are heather, lilac, freesia and iris.
I'm not very good at indoor plants, either. I just bid adieu to one today :( I have some bamboo that is four years old and nearly my height :)

Who is your favourite person to read about in a biographical text?

There’s just so many! James Madison was quite interesting.

Favorite autobiography?

The Letters of Charlotte Brontë, which isn't a true autobiography but could be regarded as such.

I can't think of any other autobiographies that I've read, but I'm sure I'll think of some in due course.

Same question

I don't tend to read biographies at all, but I'm very interested the lives of a few authors I like.

Have you ever had a manga/anime/video game crush?

I like damask if it is faded and genuinely old. Very pale olive is nice.

No, I'm sorry Kuraudo, I don't know any of the characters :(

Do you think there's any chance you will be famous posthumously?

I don't know if I'd want to be famous at all. That's why I have pen names.

same question

No chance. I’m too apathetic, and I tend not to follow through on things. Maybe if I’m lucky....

The most I can hope for is some remembrance through Wrongplanet, plus I had a few articles published in the Oxford University Magazine in the late 1970s/early 1980s.

Same Question.

I sometimes think that my private FB messages or my correspondence with a woman friend on WP (up to 10 000 words) might have some value in the future. I write about a lot of issues that affect women and / or autistic people. I have also written a lengthy autobiography, quite a vast selection of poetry and much literary criticism. I'm not necessarily a great writer but someone might appreciate my ideas one day. I should probably erase it all, because that would bother me.

Do you like happy endings?

What did you study, Deep?

Yes, though I'm also partial to bittersweet endings. The whole 'star-crossed lovers' bit and all of that.

same question

You’re already famous on WP, Deep Hour. Literary articles?

I like happy endings.

Would you like to be a classical composer?

I don't know a thing about musical composition. I suppose if I had the talent I would enjoy the ability to express myself through music.


Yes Deep. You're famous on WP.


I like endings such as the one in Villette, which could potentially be called bittersweet. Charlotte rewrote it in haste to please her father, leaving it quite dubious.

Would you like to be a classical singer?

I studied Classics - with the emphasis on Latin and Ancient Greek Literature and History.

Thank you, kraftie, much appreciated. One or two literary-related things, but mainly current affairs stuff and interviews.

I would....but my singing voice sucks.

Do you believe classical howlers should fight for better wages?

Do you classify at least some of the Bible as “history,” Deep Hour?
