Actually, it's closer to 33%. There are about 2 billion Christians in the world. I have a Christian friend who claimed maybe 1 in 1000 Christians will be raptured because the others don't REALLY believe. I prefer to work with the havoc of losing 2 billion people all at once.

I want him to grumble about giving up hios rocker at the Old Spacers' Home...

I'm Angelia Sparrow, author and publisher. On my day job, I am an inventory clerk and a merchandiser. I'm the acting crone for a small pagan grove. Married byke with 4 kids, and 2 cats. I found Io9 when you linked to one of my pieces of fanfiction (yes, I wrote the Jabba/Luke) and have followed it off and on ever…

That movie is probably best watched on acid. It makes no sense at all when you're sober.

Not to mention leaving out the part where the prince find her, rapes her in her sleep and leaves her to give birth to twins.

When Rincewind dies, the magical ability of the whole human race will increase.

That's the problem I keep bumping into with my rapture novel. All Christians, only True Christians or only fundamentalists? Because I favor the first, which would wipe out about 1/3 of the world population and about 3/4 of the US.

I write erotica and got my start with werewolves back in 2005. Merfolk are hot in the erotica area right now. I think Fae are the next big trend. Tentacles are popular enough that one of my publishers is doing a second tentacle anthology this year. (My story is cyberpunk) My press just published a contemporary Beauty…

I dunno. _Manwich_ from Ellora's Cave struck me as about the worst title. Although Butt Pirates in Space is a close runner

They all take typing, and sometimes that is challenge enough. Good books, the ones you're supposed to write at that time and place, come deceptively easily. The words flow out of you like water, sometimes so fast it's hard to keep up, and it's only after they've been typed that you realize how deeply you're bleeding…

We (a group of horror writers, mostly female) decided wearing shirts must spread the zombie virus in women. It's the only explanation.

Jim Butcher's Death Masks. Just finished Bryan Smith's Depraved 2. Both are very good.

I'm not sure. My mother had brain surgery in October. I helped on her rehab. Luminosity was part of it and it seemed to get the gears turning faster than dot-to-dots, playdough or crocheting did.

People will always for a society of some sort. Whether it's a working one or not is a different story. I've often said I don't have a zombie apocalypse plan. Being eaten by a zombie is bad. But the aftermath is always worse because people? Those are the real monsters. (My last novel was post-apoc, where the…

The Walking Dead Crew has fewer primitive survival skills than your average 14 year old Girl Scout. They can't find water in GEORGIA and Rick Grimes is the Least Observant Lawman. Ever. I spent a season and a half shouting "Stupid! You're all too stupid to live!" at the television.

That was a terrible movie. I've seen most of Hamill's work and that was about the bottom of the barrel.

I use what science I need to tell the story I want to tell. If I am setting something 60 years in the future, I need to know what's available technology-wise now and what is in the works, so I can extrapolate. If I'm writing something far future, I use Clarke's Law. And as long as I can come up with a reasonable…

How the week has left the Inkstained Succubus crew. But here's our plan for next week:

It's the little pop the eyeball makes going down the drain. eeep!

Jesus is ethnic white, like a blond Swede or a red-headed Celt. If Italians are white, and Greeks are white, Turks and Lebanese are white. Diogo Mordalo is a pretty good choice, IMO. (After all, if Spaniard Francisco Bosch can look Persian...)
