I think I just answered you in a blog post. Is your question sarcastic?

Optimus Prime. Failing that, Grimlock, but only if he's willing to take on Bumblebee as an advisor.
-
Ra's, but only because I was never a big Justice League reader.

I don't have a preference either way, except perhaps in terms of "This print book requires paying shipping and handling." I still shop in print bookstores regularly, and By TBR is pretty evenly divided between 26 print books and 24 ebooks.

Interesting question, since it instantly assumes that all sexual communication encourages rape, and that there is no healthy expression of sexuality in fictional pornography. Further your question dismisses all sex and discussions of sexuality in fiction as porn.
Most of my writing which deals with sex does so with a "muted lens," and I tend to focus on the emotional and physical reactions to sex rather than concentrate on the visual connection. By definition, this would make most of my sexual writing something less than actual porn.
But, my writing does challenge readers to look at alternate views, even those that may be truly objectionable, such as with sexual predators. But my intent then is not to celebrate their stories, but to inform the public about how victims become the next molesters. Of course, a surface reading could still interpret some scenes as "promoting" sexual violence. But if this charge can be leveled at me for scenes in 2% of my work, it should also be leveled at Stephen King, Anne Rice, and Peirs Anthony.
Or, maybe you need to chill out and stop seeing all sex as porn. Possibly. -
I only have an iPod Nano 16 GB model, but hubby has the 24" iMac. It has a very nice screen, but I still prefer Windows. (cause I'm a PC nerd.)

Well I don't know about the best way, but I'm pretty sure edible panties and erotic massages are a poor choice.

Nope, I'm just a crumpled rope.

I get up in the morning and rant at my computer screen while reading the news, usually being told to calm down once or twice by hubby. Then I wander in circles and talk to myself until the committee upstairs decides what projects I'm allowed access to.
Then I either write, edit, play guitar, play video games, or play on my balcony garden. After the sun goes down, I like to drink heavily and cry, "Just one best seller, you stupid bitch. Why is that such a fucking hard request with you, huh?" (I'm not sure if I'm addressing my muse or myself when I get like this.) Then I smoke pot and chant to Satan, "I need a book deal, biyatch." (Which so far has not worked at all.) -
Yes, I am a fan, of two of the old series. I grew up on the PBS's limited feed of episodes, which for many years was ONLY Tom Baker. Later on, I got to see some John Pertwee episodes and also liked them. But I haven't seen anything in the new seasons that interests me. (I've now sampled Two of the new doctors, so this is not a definitive answer yet.) The grand scale of the episodes I've seen have been described by fans as "great romps," but to me the were just lousy CGI floods.

This answer would change monthly but right now, I'd love to open a Tex-Mex café here in Milan. Lots of places here claim to serve Mexican food, but not one dish resembles the recipes they claim to be. So I'd love to set up a place to sell breakfast taco in the morning, to run a taco and coffee bar during the lunch rush, and then to shift over to full meals for dinner, like enchiladas, fajitas, stuffed pablano peppers, taquitos and tostadas, and all of it served with huge piles of Spanish rice and refried beans and a pitcher of Texas sun tea.
But if I did that, I'd probably end up weight 300 for sampling all the recipes. -
I guess I'd start with a creative commons agreement freeing other writers to expand on my fantasy world. Then possibly an extended outline of all the events I'd meant to cover before the end of the Mystical World Wars.
Then if I had any time left after that, I'd write a few final random sex scenes, just to get them out of my system. -
Ebboks will become the "new paperback," but print will always have a place as there is always going to be certain times when you want or need a hard copy for whatever reason.

Yes, really considering potatoes. It depends on how much my check is next month. But if I can afford the planters, yep, I'm makin' taters. (^_^) (Enabler)

RLY? SRYSLY? Just once I'd like an actual question, even if it's just "how's the weather?" Or "Wat up, yo?"

I worked up the courage to do a dance audition for the high school talent show during my freshman, and ONLY year in hell. At the time, I was amazed I could move at all. But then after they smirked and said, "We'll let you know," well, they already let me know. And in hindsight, I often get flustered and think "why did I even bother?"
-
My trunk novel folder. Totally screws me and makes me look like a psychopathic junkie. (>.>)Then again, my published fiction doesn't make me look much better.
-
Huh? 1) This isn't a question; and 2) I never visit this site. I don't use the ask followers button.

I don't know you well enough to give a proper answer. Sorry.

Be aware of how much work is involved. It isn't just a matter of writing, editing, and packaging. Selling a book, even one copy, requires months and possibly even years of hard work. So if you're coming into this thinking it's a lottery ticket to riches, just go play the lottery. Self-publishing is a full-time job, and the sooner you accept that and plan accordingly, the less shocked you will be when you're swamped by work.
