Not literally, we're a family site! But how do you relax when no one else is around? Comfy old t-shirt? Bunny slippers? Feet up on the couch? Show us a picture of your alone-time relaxing habits!

Setting survey! Answer as many or as few questions as you like. 1. How important a role does setting play in your stories? 2. How specific is your setting? Do you prefer to leave more to the imagination, or describe everything in detail? 3. Which of the five senses is it easiest for you to evoke with place settings? Which is the hardest? 4. How does your character interact with his/her setting? 5. What would change about your character if you changed the setting? 6. How would you classify your setting (Alternate history, Dystopia, Fictional Country, Real Country, Fantasy World, post-apocalyptic world, etc.)? What are some other works of fiction that you admire that use this type of setting? 7. What is the role of time in your setting? Weather? Environmental conditions? 8. What other characters share this setting?
