> > Hello and welcome to our THEN and NOW survey, in which we reflect upon where we were when the Parodyverse was born in September 1998. We therefore require answers to the following questions:
> >
> > 1a. Where were you in September 1998? What were you doing at the time?
>
> without remembering exact specifics, i was somewhere along the lines of having a near-complete psychological breakdown.
>
> and dealing with being in a new city, the loss of what amounted to my friends group at the time, etc, etc.
> >
> > 1b. Where are you now and what are you doing?
> >
> the same city and in ways still trying to pierce together remnants of what happened then.
> > 2a. What was your favourite media character, book, song, and/or comic in 1998?
>
> batman will probably always remain tops in so far as media and comics, but lately it's been more about my own personal interpretation of him as opposed to what creators have done with him in comics.
>
> musically, i actually still like a lot of what i listened to then, though i don't listen to music nearly as often anymore, which is a shame.
> >
> > 2b. What is it now? And how do you feel about the things you liked in 1998?
>
> right now, i'd probably have to go with michael garibaldi from babylon 5.
>
> musically, when i do have the chance now, i tend to listen to a lot more classical.
>
> but i still have a soft spot for rock.
>
>
> >
> > 3a. If we’d have asked you in 1998 to predict what would happen to you and the world in the next ten years what would you have said?
> >
> given that i've gone almost a complete 180 from the mindset of then, i would have completely been off.
>
> > 3b. How right would you have been?
> >
> > 4a. If you could go back to 1998 and give yourself a piece of advice what would it be?
>
> take four to five years off, go anywhere that isn't montana--best bets being oregon or possibly seattle--and just try to relearn how to have fun again.
>
> >
> > 4b. If future you came back from 2018 what one question would you ask him or her?
>
> "do you regret the lost years?"
> >
> > 5a. What were your Parodyverse characters doing in 1998?
>
> undergoing a transformation from the dark knight to the chronicler that still hasn't really been resolved.
>
> which, pending available time...
>
> >
> > 5b. Where are they now, and what’s going to happen to them next?
>
> keep your eyes to the skies, reader.
