Q2. No, seriously, what the #&%# do you think you're doing?
A2. I dunno, really. It's kinda hard ta explain. It's not that I think they necessarily make a good couple, cause they don't. Their relationship is messed up in all sorts of ways. All SORTS of ways. That's why it's so interestin ta me tho. It's kinda...challenging. That's how I think of it. So what I'm tryin ta do is see if I can justify this without feelin bad about it later, and hopefully keep em both alive in da process.

Q3. You DO know that Johnny has intimacy problems, right? No way would he ever be in a relationship with anyone.
A3. Yes, I HAVE taken that inta consideration. BELIEVE ME. That's da biggest hurdle here, and I don't know if I can even clear it. I think what I'm gonna hafta do is veer way off da track and hit da finish line a different way. I'm pretty sure that metaphor made no sense.
They wouldn't have a normal relationship even if I DID get that far. I bet there wouldn't even be touching of any kind. That's just conjecture tho.

Q4. There's no way Johnny would ever be all snuggly like those pictures. What's wrong with you?
A4. They're just pictures. They don't mean anything. All my justification fer da pairing is in Vargas. Da pics are just fer fun.

Q5. Why Edgar?
A5. I dunno. He didn't even occur ta me until Spug pointed it out, actually. Da more I think about it, da more interestin it is. Edgar's one of those normal people that just accidentally got inta Nny's sights. He could very easily be anyone. Like I've thought ta myself before, da only reason that Edgar's interesting is cause Edgar knows Nny and interacts with him. Otherwise, Edgar would be terribly boring. Hmmm...how else ta explain it...
Well, Edgar seemed like a rather level, calming guy. I prolly just as easily coulda gone with say...Tess or something, but Tess I think has things she has ta do. I doubt she'd ever get inta a relationship with Nny voluntarily again anyway, and she HAS people in her life. She has a past and stuff. Edgar's just this big...blank. His whole life is empty.
Also, Edgar really does come off as just being a nice guy. And Nny liked him. Why not?

Q6. Is Vargas going to be slash?
A6. I don't know. I hope so. But I'm not sure how that would happen. I've been thinking about it A LOT, believe me, and I'm still not sure how ta get it ta work.

Q7. Is Edgar going to make Nny all happy and not-insane?
A7. HA HA HA HA! ::wipes tear from eye:: No seriously, what's yer question?

Q8. What's the deal with sidefics? Where do they fit in? Some of them don't match up with the main story.
A8. Any fic I write outside of the main Vargas story I consider a sidefic. Basically, I had an idea I wanted to explore in one way or another. All of them don't fit into the real story, not perfectly. They each kind of branch off into their own version of what happened (or what could happen, depending). Heh, AU's off an AU. HOW LAME AM I. But no, I wouldn't take anything stated in a sidefic as total hardcore Vargascanon, cause oftentimes I'll change my mind later about how things work. A good example of this would be Firefly and how Nny kind of "goes away" whenever he gets touched. I later scrapped that idea, but it's still in that fic.
On the other hand, the sidefics do present some insight into random pieces of Vargas I can't easily explain in the story itself, and often little pieces come into play later on.

Q9. What's Edgar's past?
A9. Not important. I said that ages ago and I STAND BY IT TODAY, even though it's slowly working itself out in my head. NOT IMPORTANT DARN IT.

Q10. Why "I'm Going to Kill You?"
A10. Cause I thought it was a funny name fer it. That and Nny's many attempts on Edgar's life, his bizarre perception of love, and I'm pretty sure that's how Vargas is gonna end.

Q11. Can I use pictures here on my website? Can I use them for icons?
A11. Sure, just credit me. If yer puttin em on a website, use yer own webspace.

Q12. Do you hate Devi? Since you like a slash pairing, it means you must hate any and all females in the series! It's a rule!
A12. Of course not. I love Devi. I think she's a great character. I just prefer her with Tenna rather then Nny. Heck, if it's done well, I'm okay with almost any pairing in the fandom.

Q13. Who's Chet?
A13. Heh. When I scanned and posted the little shot of Edgar from the Meanwhile in Issue 2 (here)to CherryDoom, Crow joked that it wasn't really Edgar, but his evil twin brother Chet (she later on gave him the last name of Aguila, I think it was). From there on, random goofing about went on about who Chet was, how he got there, what he was like. Mostly silly talk of him being a womanizer and the black sheep of the family, that kind of thing. There are a few Chets running around officially in people's stories (I know someone has him in their Zeitgeist mythology thing as the actor who played Scriabin in the Zeitgeist movie), but mostly he remains a little fandom in-joke. He's shown up in a few fics here and there (SWAN comes to mind, and so does Blender).

Q14. What's this whole Zeitgeist thing?
A14. Zeitgeist is the fake movie that Scriabin comes from in Vargas. Thus the action figure. There's no real Zeitgeist movie or anything.
As for the various Zeitgeist-related projects going around, a site will go up soon that'll explain all that. :D
There is a Yahoogroup though.

Q15. How do I submit stuff to the site?
A15. Just email me anything at Astronia@aol.com. Fanart, fanfics, music videos, icons, screensavers, ANYTHING Vargas-related (or actually, even just Edgar Vargas related, as this has become a pseudo-shrine to just him as well) is welcome here.

Q16. What if I support a strange pairing?
A16. This site IS primarily Nny/Edgar, so ya can understand my reluctance ta host other Nnypairings. I mean, if this was a generic JTHM slash site, then that wouldn't be a problem. However...
On da whole tho, I do wanna keep this fairly Nny/Edgar centered, altho anythin involved in da Vargas continuity is fine with me (i.e. Scriabin). Or anything involving Edgar, cough.

Q17. If that's the case, why is there Devi/Tenna stuff here?
A17. Because I like the pairing, and it's my site. Also, I'm too lazy ta go set up a second site fer em both, and if I throw em on da MSP misc page, they'll get lost in da shuffle, and I want that pairin ta get more attention, darnit.

Q18. What if I have some weird kinky stuff?
A18. That's fine with me, but there are two things that make me seriously uncomfortable, and might make it unlikely fer me ta put up yer fic/art. One is pedophilia and the other is incest. Both give me the creepy crawlies. I know that's a personal hang-up so I try not ta let it affect this kind of thing, but it'll still make me puttin up yer fic/art kinda unlikely. It just makes me uncomfortable, ya know? Ta each their own.

Q19. I have a great idea based off of some thing in Vargas/one of the sidefics. Is it okay if I write a fic/do fanart about it?
A19. I consider Vargas an "open universe" in that anyone can write anything they want in it. I don't care, I'm just thrilled that people are inspired by what I'm doing. :D Feel free ta write any weird thing based off of Vargas continuity you want. If ya DO though let me know so I can put it up here, and if you're throwing my original characters in there, give me credit for them.
If you have an idea or fanart based on someone ELSE's fic (LYX's SWAN for example), it'd be best to ask the respective author or artist about it before you go doing anything. I am but one person and cannot speak for everyone. :O

Q20. I don't understand what happened in [chapter]. Why did [character] do whatever? I'm confused.
Q20. If you have any questions or anything about any fic I've written, feel free to email me (Astronia@aol.com) and ask. I love answering questions and in general rambling about the story.
On the same lines, if you have constructive criticism about the stories, email me if you want as well. I can always improve, and other people's points of view on stuff I've written can be really educational.
Likewise, if you catch a typo or any kind of grammatical error in the stories, let me know. I'll fix it right away. Same for broken links or anything like that. I want to be as open to people as possible, so don't be afraid to email me about anything that you're wondering about.

Q21. Where's the other ficlets you mention? They aren't on the site.
A21. Some of the stories I draw pictures from aren't done. Most of the time this is cause I spend frigging AGES EDITING THEM ARRRGH.
Some of the things are from ficlets that I don't feel can stand alone as a real fic, so they end up in my temp directory.

Q22. I somehow got a hold of one of your fics that hasn't been beta'd and all the swear words are censored out! What the heck? They're censored out in your pictures too!
A22. I have personal issues with swearing, i.e. I can't do it. Blah blah I don't know why blah blah blah something something but yeah, that's why fics that haven't been edited are censored. Any fic that has been beta'd has the swear words put back in.
I know how annoying it can be but it's a personal thing of mine that yer just gonna hafta deal with. I don't care if anyone else swears (in fact I find it rather hilarious) but I just can't do it personally.

Q23. Why do you type funny? Don't you know proper english? It's not "Ya" it's "You", because you obviously don't KNOW THAT, retardo, and your fics must be written the same way cause you obviously can't speak english properly. Shall I point that out to you fifty billion times?
A23. And this is why I hate you.
