About: This game is a fun one, and a nice way to get to know some things about people on this board. The way it works is you answer a survey question, then post your own and answer it. The following person answers the two proceeding questions, and then puts a third question and answers that.
For example:
And so on and so forth until the box can't hold the length of replies. We'll start out with an easy question:

Aside from Ben 10, what is one show you make sure to never miss? House, also. (Did you see the epi earlier this night with the cat?)
Ben 10 fan for how long? Only a couple months. Didn't like the original series.

Aside from Ben 10, what is one show that you make sure to never miss? House (And yes, I did see it. It was great.)
Ben 10 fan for how long? Since about August. I heard about it from my little brother (who is now 7), but had missed the original series. I have my DVR set to record them so I can catch up on the background info. I have to laugh at myself because my five year old daughter loves Alien Force as much as I do so we watch it together.
What do you do for a living? I work in the Security department at a Theatre/Performing Arts venue in Philadelphia.

What is your name?
Suhaila
Aside from Ben 10, what is one show that you make sure to never miss?
Samantha Who? (I love House, and Heroes, too, and the CSI franchises, but I only have time to see Samantha Who?)
Ben 10 fan for how long?
Since the premiere of Ben10AF. I watched a bit of Ben 10, but never really got into it for some reason. Maybe it was because I felt it was a little too young for me.
What do you do for a living?
Student at a university in Malaysia.
When did you discover fanfiction?
When my friend (HHr shipper in HP) convinced me to read a few stories there. I was hooked ever since.

Do you prefer romantic fics or action-based fics? I'm an action junkie. That's not to say that I won't enjoy a good romantic story, but I prefer stories that have good fight scenes as well as challenging situations for the characters involved.

Do you prefer romantic fics or action-based fics?
Both, and they must be well-written! However, I only write romance, and when it comes to B10, I write angst!Gwevin. I find it easier, and for some reason action doesn't sit well with me.
What other fandoms do you dabble in besides B10?
Cartoons: MSB, PPG, Totally Spies, Jimmy Neutron
Anime: Wallflower, Black Cat, Paradise Kiss, Saiunkoku Monogatari
Books: HP, Twilight, The Secret Garden, The Witch of Blackbird Pond
Movies: The Princess Diaries

Other than that, as far as fics, I enjoy Heroes fics and I've read some really good ones based on the movie Labyrinth.
How long have you been writing (if applicable)? I did a lot of creative writing just for fun back in Junior High and High School. Recently, over the past year, I've started getting serious about it and I'm working on my first full-length novel.

How long have you been writing (if applicable)?
I started fanfiction back in 2002 *gasp*. I do, however, want to write my own novel, although I want to be a doctor even more.
What are several unforgettable movies, in your opinion?
The two I really remember are Stardust and Odd Girl Out. Beautiful movies, in my opinion. Also, Gattacca and Snow Falling on Cedars.

What are several unforgettable movies, in your opinion?
Definitely Clerks. Having worked in both a convenience store and a video store in the past, I can relate to it. Aside from that, Labyrinth, The Green Mile, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Boondock Saints, and the Princess Bride are among ones that I would watch as soon as I saw them on.
What is your favorite genre of music? I'm a fan of rock, both classic and modern. Occasionally, I'll be in the mood for something harder, but times like that are rare these days.

What is your name? Melanie
Aside from Ben 10, what is one show that you make sure to never miss? House
Ben 10 fan for how long? Got obsessive around the time I moved back in with my parents, which was right before Thanksgiving, I think.
What do you do for a living? Unemployed, and I hate it, but being 7 months pregnant it's a bit difficult to find work.
When did you discover fanfiction? I saw them on nick.com at first.
Do you prefer romantic fics or action-based fics? I like both, but I spend more time searching for romance based ones.
What other fandoms do you dabble in besides B10? Codename: Kids Next Door, Jimmy Neutron (that's the one that got me obsessed with fandons/fanfiction in the first place), House (haven't written anything, though...not very good with anything medical)
How long have you been writing (if applicable)? As far as fanfiction, since 7th grade (...6 or 7 years ago). Writing in general for fun, 2nd grade.
What are several unforgettable movies, in your opinion?
The Princess Bride, Seven, Pan's Labrynth, Phantom of the Opera, and The Dark Knight (mainly for Joker)
What is your favorite genre of music? Give me a musical, and I'll be happy. But not quiet.....
Biggest pet-peeve with fanfiction? Romantic pairings with OCs involved. I can barely stomach most OCs as it is (mainly those ones you can tell so easily are based off of the writer themselves), but they're much easier to take when they're not paired with a canon character (Ladylasa - please do not for a moment think I'm talking about your amazing vampires. Those are a perfect example of how original characters should be created, and employed well within a story).

Biggest pet-peeve with fanfiction? Out-of-character portrayals. A challenge with fan-fiction is to place a character in a situation and try to determine how that character would solve it, not how we would solve it if we had the character's abilities. I also see this a lot in Slash (and please don't think I'm bashing it, I've read some really well-written slash fics). Some writers seem to think that one character has to be extra fruity in order to portray the romance. It annoys me to no end.
Favorite beverage? Coffee. Seriously, I can't get through the day without it. Aside from that, I mostly drink water.

Favorite beverage? Rose black tea. I'm addicted, and I haven't had it in months (and there's no where to get it out here...well, I suppose if I went to Houston, but that's 2 hours away)
Favorite kind of romance story (fanfiction, novel, or television, your choice)? I used to love denial, but I'm seriously addicted to the way they've done Gwen/Kevin...they're right on that cliff the whole time, and you know they're not ready to jump yet, but because they don't fight it, you don't mind so much.

Favorite video game? I grew up with the evolution of video games, from Atari to the Playstation. I always loved the Final Fantasy saga. A close second, though, would be Warcraft. I canceled my account about a year ago to free up time to write. I sometimes miss it, but just don't have the time for it.

Favorite Video Game? Knights of the Old Republic. I love that game.
Describe your perfect day: Seriously, starts with pancakes. I love pancakes. Add in having the baby (so this day will not be possible until late May/early June), and playing with him before hopefully catching a new cartoon while he naps. Finish the day with a medium rare steak and I'm good to go. (...I'm a bit food obsessed...)
