      Fanfiction is literary masturbation. It's fun to do, you get better at the real thing by doing it, and someone might even enjoy watching you, but in the end you're really just pleasing yourself.

      I was a fan of House of Pain, but Kriss Kross gets points for getting all that attention simply by wearing their pants backwards.

      1994, because the music was better. Kids these days wouldn't know real gangsta rap if it sneaked up and popped a cap in their ass.

      I'd honestly rather be a morning person, but I have this bad habit of not getting tired until 2AM, so yeah, that doesn't work out so well.

      I cross platforms. I'll use Windows, Mac, and various flavors of Linux, but my main machines are Windows 7.

      These days, I'd say it's critical. I can't name very many successful current webcomics that stick with black and white, or even grayscale (or bluescale/brownscale, etc.) We're on the internet and we all have good graphics programs. There's no reason not to go color.

      I once put up a poll on the TG site asking if the readers would give up color in exchange for updates 5 times a week instead of 3. Over 70% said keep the color.

      These days most sketches are done with whatever mechanical pencil I can find and some copy paper, then scanned in and inked and colored in Photoshop using my Wacom tablet.

      I prefer to work all-digitally when I can, but lately I need whatever headstart I can get, so I like to squeeze in sketching time when I'm sitting at Starbucks after lunch

      The art takes generally anywhere from 4-6 hours. Writing is a wildcard, though. I can get a strip done in 5 minutes or have nothing come to mind for days at the time.

      Whichever, as long as it comes with ice cream.
