extrapenguin29: Favorite female protagonist.
OH FUCK I have loads. Um. Ummm.
Yoko Tsuno. She's an electrical engineer with numerous other competences. She encounters loads of weird shit, but, as an engineer, she just rolls with it. (If a thing doesn't fit the model, change the model) She's also supremely capable of forming friendships with seemingly every woman she comes across.
30: One book everyone should read
The dictionary.
Please, if you must use a word, know what it means.
31: Do you day dream about your favorite books? If so, share one fantasy you have about them.
My absolute #1 favorite book??? Do- do people have those? Shit, I have trouble picking my favorite series. Or favorite book from a series!
Well, I do daydream, mostly self-insert Mary Sue stuff. I am invariably the black-haired, white-skinned lesbian daughter/niece of a minor character who has a PhD in physics and minored in asskicking. I then find love in the arms of a redhead who also has a PhD in STEM, and together we invade a planet and get a Nobel prize. In the end, we will have murderated all of my enemies, and then we have kids.
32: OTP or NoTP?
99% of all canon het is a NOTP. My OTPs are generally either something along the lines of "two people who work together well and maybe have slightly different competences (battle couple)", frex Simon Illyan/Alys Vorpatril (lemme tell you how surprised I was when I found a canon het that worked!), or "dubcon-at-best fucked-up loyalty kink and command structures", frex Simon Illyan/Ezar Vorbarra.
Another way to become an OTP: have it not be too incestuous and have one of the people involved be Simon Illyan. (Essentially, all the Simon Illyan/X where X is not Miles or Ivan.) Captain Illyan is a very nice bicycle.
