violet Marie: These are some excellent questions you've come up with! Though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that the character you chose for your first interview was Esme, should I? I love the idea of Jerome "snuggling" her as she's typing on her laptop. And she likes Skins! I haven't seen either the UK or US version, though I might check out the UK one (the US one looked kind of trashy, IMO XD). Invisible: It's very interesting how the pop culture from our time reflects in your ficverse, which I remember you mentioning was set somewhere around the 1930s. I can picture Kit looking like Avril Lavigne, yes, except with glasses. I also like the mentions of Kit's unusual cravings. XD

Catcher in the Rye would definitely be his favorite book. Also, his answer to the favorite TV show question made me laugh. Invisible: I loved your interview with Charles!

Oh, and I share her views on the political world. Seymour Glass: Nice interview! I loved Sunny's answers to the questions; they were so humorous, and really complement her child's innocence. And Klaus shares a birthday with one of my best friends. Invisible: I loved your interview, too. I also found it very sweet that Monty is so much shorter than Jo...awww. And who dares to laugh at one of the country's most respected herpetologists? Grrr. Monty and Jo would SO name their children after the Irwin couple if Jo would allow it. ;D No, Monty, you are wrong! Your good looks are right on par with Billy's! If you don't believe me, then ask Beth!
