What should we call you?: I've always gone by Sinhe in this fandom, which is funny because almost everyone else calls me Maddy. Either is fine with me.
Give us a fun fact: I am a week and a half away from finishing my second year of college. Scary, huh?
Penname (on FFN): Sinhe
Favorite newsie: Dutchy. Always. Despite that Swifty/Bumlets is my favorite pairing. Oh well, whatever.
Favorite line in the movie: Probably, "So'd I spell it right Kloppman? <EM>Strike</EM>." Because really? It's Dutchy's only line, and I'm nothing if not biased.

Favorite (published) author(s): Charles de Lint, Neil Gaiman, Lynn Flewelling, David Mitchell, Dennis L. McKiernen. A whole lot more.
Favorite (published) book(s): The Onion Girl, American Gods, Watchmen (which, while it is a graphic novel, is actually considered a novel), The Sparrow, Otherland. A lot that I am forgetting at the moment.
Favorite quote: I don't really have a favorite quote, so much. I am, however, obsessed with song lyrics. So have some of those: "there once was a time I was sure of the bond/ when my hands and my tongue and my thoughts were enough/ we are the same but our lives move along/ and the third one between replaces what once was love"
---
Favorite (fanfiction) author(s): Stage, B, TSB, Hotshot, hilby, etc, etc. I must confess that I haven't read in this fandom in a long time, and should probably go back and reread stuff.
Favorite (fanfiction) story(ies): The VTones, by B and signpost, Vaudeville! (which is now being updated, yay!), by hilby, Forbidden, by lulu, Last Chance, by Hotshot. Against with the having to reread.
Favorite genre to read? To write?: Angst mostly, in both cases. I can't help it, I tend to like the darker side to things. I do like romance and humor and gen and just about everything else, but angst is what really gets me.
Recommend us one of your stories... (link, if you can!): I don't really like any of the stories I wrote for this fandom, mostly because they were written so long ago that I find them kind of hard to look at. Sorry? Whatever, I guess I'll put up the most recent one - It Figures (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/ )2196082/1/
Fanfic pet peeve: I have so many, which is part of why I can't look at some of the stuff I wrote without laughing. Unlikely characterizations, character bastardization, really really thick New York accents (which I am totally guilty of, but really, that was a long time ago! And I realized how annoying it was before the end of the fic, ahahahah.) I'm also, specific to this fandom, kind of sick of unoriginal plots, and how often the Newsies appear in modern times. Also, original female characters, just because they aren't done well often enough to make me want to read any of them.
RP?: I have before, quite a bit, actually. Haven't really done it recently, though.

Are you excited about NewsieChallenge? : Sure thing!
Any other comments: Uh? Just that I haven't written for this fandom in forever, I guess. Seriously, so long.
