Answers! To questions! There were questions, and now there are answers!
Many thanks to everyone who submitted questions in response to this AMA poll! In gratitude, the following answers:
Do you think we'll actually get to meet?
Ye gods, I hope so! That's still the most surreal aspect about the LiveJournal fever dream: the realization that I've still never seen so many of my dearest friends face to face. We'll make it happen one way or the other.
A bird drops a wad of cash into your lap. It's about $500. What do you buy for yourself?
That's a great amount for this particular question, enough for a splurge but not enough to be either overly extravagant or overly pragmatic. Assuming I don't do something stupid like paying off a credit card or something, I would probably opt for something unsurprising, starting with one of the obscenely large Criterion box sets like the complete Agnes Varda or the Godzilla collection. Maybe a big chunk of board game or a decent video camera. A lot of wibbling either way, I suspect.
Have you read Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand?
I have not! I have done a couple of her other titles, though, and loved them, so I'm betting this would be in my wheelhouse.
Do you ever think you'd ever do the radio show host thing again?
I would LOVE to do more radio! I've been toying with thoughts about that Spotify service that lets you use build podcasts around their music library, but it would take more research (doable) and more time (less doable at the moment, albeit not impossible). I do know the structure of the show I'd like to do, though, which I may discuss at another time.
Are you using the beta (soon to be prime time) Dreamwidth update form yet? Do you have Opinions? Have you rearranged it to your liking?
Haven't even touched it, probably should. What are your thoughts on it? Good/bad/indifferent?
You've had a lot of pets (or at least, lived with them) over the years. Has any one in particular bonded with you as a kind of "soul pet" or familiar?
Okay, so here's what might be a failing of mine: I just don't bond with pets. I mean, yes, I love them, I like having them around, but I can't think of a single animal from my past that I genuinely miss. I don't know why.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!

I turned the beta on and promptly forgot it's the beta, and I find it very usable on mobile. I have arranged it to suit me.
