Questions Meme
This is a meme in which you TALK FOREVER. How it goes:
1. Make a thread for yourself in this post, listing the characters you play and your own name.
2. Go find someone's thread to jump and ask them A QUESTION. The question can be anything, RP related is common, of course, but not necessary. Who do you want to app most? What does Character A think about Character B? What's your favorite flavor of icecream?
3. Answer all questions asked of you! Once you have answered, end your response with a question for the person who first questioned you. This is important to keep the discussion going and going.
4. This goes back and forth indefinitely until someone gets tired and can't reply anymore.
5. Have a lot of fun! ♥
This game is a fun way to get to talk to people, headcanon, and learn things you didn't know before! Because it involves gives and take, it can go quite a while and everyone can participate and possibly make friends.
Here is an example.

Kara's approach to it all though is pretty great. It's nice to see some taking a more optimistic approach to it. For Maggie herself she's not quite as gung-ho, mainly because there is so much left unanswered. Right now that is her primary goal and she doesn't want to get directly involved. The main thing that is keeping her from just trying to ignore it is the fact that there seemed to be a lot of kids involved, and thus in danger, and she is having none of that. For now she is starting to get into things more subtly by helping Elian with his stories. Overall though? She wishes she could in good conscious not be a part of it because who knows what is really happening here.
SO SEVEN SIBLINGS DAMN. Where did Kara fall in this, agewise? How'd she get along with them?

Aww, poor Maggie. Hopefully that guilt doesn't come back to bite her in the ass someday.
I am not 100% on the age lineup yet since I'm still debating whether to have a brother or two younger than her, but Kara is definitely on the young side of the spectrum whether or not she ends up the absolute youngest.
She gets along really well with her brothers - Kara is not only younger than them but she's also the only girl, so in a lot of ways she's the baby of the family. Her brothers dote on her a lot, but at the same time they're still brothers and Kara is a very willful person; she spent most of her childhood roughhousing with them and working alongside them on the farm, so while they adore her and would do anything for her they also know that she's more than capable of taking care of herself.
They're all very warm and affectionate with each other, albeit kind of. Extremely loud, haha. It's something that Kara really misses about being home, because she's used to both that benign chaos and being hugged and kissed and jokingly tossed over people's shoulders all the time. It's been the most difficult thing for her to adjust to here in America, because that huge safety net isn't physically present anymore.
Her family is incredibly supportive and stupidly proud of Kara's aspirations, and it's part of why she's so driven to succeed. Her brothers aren't stupid by any stretch of the imagination, but their interests have typically been agriculturally-minded and not many of them went on to college. Kara wants to show them that all their faith and sacrifice is worth it, because she loves them so much.
She talks with her whole family every day, even though it means that she has to get up at stupid o'clock because of timezones. The Skype chats are usually crowded and filled with a lot of screaming in Ukrainian, which is unnerving to outside spectators but it's all affectionate.
What's Maggie's writing process like? How does she prep for a book, what weird habits does she have to help her write, stuff like that.
