digitaldiscipline ◾ ◾ TYK's Qs

1) What will you do when you are King?
- Not look like the Piss Boy.
- Appoint smart, open-minded people with good ideas as advisers, and listen to them.
- Obey, in spirit if not in actual letter, Pete Anspach's list of things not to do as an evil overlord.

2) If an imperial government was formed with Alison as Empress and a proportionally represented Parliament, would you accept a position as a Minister Imperial? What position would you choose, if yes?
- Is this a world government, or just the United Empire of Ali-merica? The distinction is important.

- If the former, I'll assume the role of Eugenics Dictat. If the latter, I'm less certain of my usefulness beyond Court Jester, unless ritual execution of the vanquished bureaucrats needs a Master of Ceremonies.

3) Are you and K actually married, and if not, will that occur?
- No, we're not (and a few years out from common-law marriage, as far as I can tell). I don't know the answer to your second part; it's entirely possible, but if it doesn't happen, that doesn't mean we won't still be putting up with one another in close proximity.

4) Since your writing is superb, are you working on anything for publication? If not, would you be interested in doing so?
- That's kind of you to say, even if I'm skeptical. I'm not actively doing anything to get paid for banging on a keyboard in ways nobody has done exactly the same way before, but I certainly wouldn't be averse to it. I've got the seeds of a handful of short story ideas sprouting, but I've yet to see any of them take root in someone else's mind, much less someone with ducats to throw my way for infecting them so they might infect others in turn.

5) If I could do something for you, what would it be?
- Other than get your butts to Gothopia? Going halvsies on the next Powerball jackpot seems a shade impractical....
