Tough one

If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?

*sighs with regret*

Terrible question. Too many to count.

*thinks about it*

Actually, the fun part would be existing in the fictional world with equal ability and a great story.

Say, if you fell into Narnia or Middle Earth, Deep Space 9 or The Expanse, Jade City or The Interdependency, or any other fictional universe: You get to experience the world in full book form and live to tell the tale…

Imagine the stories.

How would you improve your community?

Show up consistently, even when it’s tough.

Take time to spend time. It may seem like a small thing, but taking the time to spend time together shows you value the people you want to connect with.

Talking about it is not enough. You actually have to do it.

Do you have a flag?

If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

One of the nice lakes on Mars, so that when humanity inevitably colonises Mars in the 2200s, and Mars becomes its own superpower in the 2300s due to continuous antagonism to Mega-Coloniser Earth, native Martians will holiday at Lake [My Name] and have long conversations over Pathfinder Beer that end with arguments about “Goddamn Terrans and their $£%&ing colonial BS!”

Martian Authorities and the Martian populace, however, will not question Lake [My Name]’s naming because the majority agree it’s actually quite fitting and gives the place a kind of mystic feel. Lake [My Name] will be known for restful getaways where Martians relax and recuperate from their forever-war with “those Terran bastards.”
