Jan 1: resonant: A character who would make New Year's resolutions, and a character who wouldn't.

OK, doing this in the form of a list, haha.

Clark: One resolution that he takes pretty seriously and tries to actually stick to for the whole year.
Lex: No. Too trite, too easy to discard. If there's something you resolve on doing, you do it, you don't wait for the new year.
Lois: A half-dozen casual resolutions mostly having to do with doing more yoga and getting massages and drinking less coffee and smoking less, all discarded within a couple of weeks max because shut up, Kent, she's onto something BIG.

Jane Foster: Like Lois, but her resolutions are about talking to normal people sometimes and not spending so much time in the lab, and they don't last past waking up on New Year's Day.
Thor: Listens as Jane and her friends discuss their various resolutions, doesn't entirely get it, but after Darcy explains, agreeably accepts one of her devising, vows to uphold it, and proceeds to stick to it like grim death and gets really horrified around March when he finds out none of the rest of them have stuck to theirs.
Loki: Pathetic mortals really bother to mark one single revolution around their star? Also, to kill Thor.

Tony Stark: He has Pepper for that kind of thing.
Pepper: Makes a resolution to do more yoga and keeps it with sensible exceptions in case of crisis situations. Flatly refuses to come up with a resolution for Tony.

Harold: Oh, is it New Year's Day? Goes back to coding.
John: Privately makes his annual resolution/vow that nothing is going to hurt the people under his protection. He knows it doesn't do any good but he can't help doing it.
Carter: just like Clark. *sniffles*
Fusco: A bunch of casual resolutions which all peter out bit by bit through February and March.
Shaw: Are you kidding me?
Root: Always! Usually to try something new, like hacking a nuclear site or something else really fun.

Dale Cooper: Diane, while I've never been much for making New Year's resolutions, after last night's celebration at the Roadhouse, I returned to my room at the Great Northern feeling mildly light-headed -- possibly a consequence of the interaction between the three slices of pie I indulged in along with the champagne -- and despite the late hour, rather than falling immediately asleep I found that my mind felt strangely open and receptive to forming positive intentions towards the year to come...

Jan 8: appleqb: Any unrealized plot bunnies, WIPs, or sequels in some of your old fandoms you still thinking about writing?
Jan 9: athynto: the time Thor managed to get himself into trouble and Loki realized it right away but had a hard time getting anybody to help, because they all thought it was a new trick of the liesmith and Loki then kind of flipped out and said they had to go and f. help right now if they wanted Thor back in one piece.

Jan 11: amber1960: What made you think of mixing dragons with history, and what was it that drew you to the Napoleonic era?

and/or what fandom is giving you the most joy right now?
Jan 24: neery: talk a bit about the process of writing the Temeraire books. How much of that huge overall plotline did you have planned when you wrote the first book? How much did you know about the characters? Was there anything you regretted establishing as canon later on because things changed on you? Anything you wished you could have included but couldn't fit in for some reason or another?
Jan 25: luminosity: how you keep your creative juices flowing
Jan 26: error: what you think of superheroes or superpowered characters navigating what's 'normal life' for other people, like superheroes working out things such as groceries, insurance (how do you even calculate premiums on an immortal, anyway), social media, pop culture and so on.

Extras:
avidrosette: I'm wondering about your process of world-building, particularly for fandoms like Merlin or Thor that have strong historical or legendary aspects. Do you do a lot of research, and if so, what sort? How do you find yourself interweaving the historical/legendary material with your original plot and character ideas?

killalla: any thoughts or comments on Aubrey/Maturin (the series or the pairing!)

chelletoo: What are your plans for 2014? Must see movie, vacation, etc.

imwalde: What makes your OTPs your OTPs? (Or OT3s, don't want to leave out Haven...) Do you recognize common characteristics across your fandoms?

laura47: Where do you want to see the marvel cinematic universe go, or specifically thor and loki

silksieve: Video games: how you prefer to play? Favorite themes or characters in games? Games vs. tv/movies? Dragon Age in particular?
