I do have to give a couple of others their props, though. Spider Robinson helped develop my love of word play and puns and Anne McCaffrey helped shape my views of the world and my place in it as a woman.<br /><br />Following that feminist trail, my favorite Holmes adversary is Irene Adler. Smart and savvy, she is a great match for Holmes and reminds me a bit of an evil twin for Kitty.<br /><br />I connect with all of the "Alien" characters and would love to spend more time with any of them.<br /><br />bejeweledcatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499796569940981898.post-58950732643209432052014-10-23T15:08:58.623-04:002014-10-23T15:08:58.623-04:003....... hmmmm thats a tough one.

Most of the people here apparently missed the word FUNNY in the post and just put their favorite Sf author.

I haven't read all the shorts you've put out so far, so some of these may be a repeat.<br /><br />I'd love to see what Kitty did before the Alien series started. I'd love to see where Olga got all her training. I'd love to see the day in the life of a Peregrine or a Poof. I would love to know more about ACE and Algar and any of those other superbeings/consciousness things you have going in the series. <br /><br />And last but not least, I'd love to get into the minds of the villains for just a moment. Not so much to see what they think but to understand their reasoning for being asses. What happened to make them turn from the light? <br /><br />Hope that was enough for you!
