Website updates pending, FAQ help requested.

So we've been working for a while now -- and by 'we,' I mean taraoshea and porpentine -- at giving my website a total overhaul. Because of the way my brain works (which is not like your Earth brains), this means Tara designs the new graphics and layout, Chris implements them, and then I start doing the new site text, because I can't 'see' where the new text should go until I have the old text in place on the shiny new layout. So poor Chris is going to do a huge amount of heavy lifting and then immediately get hammered with textual updates. Feel for him.

In an effort to keep him from killing me, I figure I should start prepping some of the text now, while I still have a little wiggle room. So I present to you...

What goes into my FAQ?

Obviously, there needs to be a section on filk, as well as the absolutely required section on writing. What do you want to see there? What makes sense? What have you always wanted to know, but been afraid to ask? What have you put into your own FAQs?

Help me keep Chris from killing me.

I don't have a FAQ, I'm not interesting. I only barely have a website, it's somewhere to hang my hat (er, put my software and a few links I don't want to lose)...

Things I'd be interested in knowing (some I know already but they are the sort of things I'd like to know if I didn't know them):

Writing:

What writing of yours is available (and from where)?
How long do you spend on average on research, writing, revising, etc. until you are happy (or it gets sold, whichever comes first)?
Who and what were and are your influences on what you write?

Zombies:

What types of zombie are there?
Where did you get your interest in zombies?
Who would you recommend as authors of zombie stuff?

Viruses, pathology, etc.:

Where have you found information?
Any good books or whatever?
I can has links plz?

Music:

Filk, obviously, probably several questions.
Your music, what it is, where to get it, who does it with you.
Recording tips, stories, etc.

BPAL, colours, clothes, etc.

Cats!

(That should be enough to keep you from getting bored for a while, and by then I'll probably have thought of more...)
