4. Tell us about one of your first stories/characters!
I wrote an atrocious fantasy story about dragons for 6th grade English. Before that I wrote an atrocious fantasy story about cats for a 4th or 5th grade assignment. I'm a big fan of fantasy. And atrocities. My first story though, I think, was about a British solider from Revolutionary War who ended up in modern times. If I'm remembering correctly, I thought that up after a school trip to Lexington/Concord. Even as a kid I apparently had a thing for Brits.

Like a lot of fans, I had a cast of self-inserts and Mary Sues for my first fandoms: a Sailor Moon character (named Sailor Sagittarius, after my zodiac sign); a girl from Boston who moved down south for Tom & Huck; a client-turned-detective who impresses Basil from The Great Mouse Detective; a small-village girl who gets caught up in Link's quest; a chorus girl who rescues Erik from despair. Wish-fulfillment, basically.
