Describe Ballad in five words or less.
Egotistical bagpiping teen tackles faeries.
What’s one thing you can’t live without while writing?
Music.
Would you rather see Ballad as a movie or TV show?
oooh. TV show a la Buffy.

What is your favorite adjective? Why?
Dark. Because it makes everything sexier. Witness:
1) There was a dark figure on the hill.
2) His expression turned dark.
3) She played a dark tune.
4) The dark duke darkly donned his dark dress to do his deadly dark duty.
See? Sexy.
While writing Ballad? I have a playlist (http://m-stiefvater.livejournal.com/128429.html) up on my blog for it: But it's safe to say that I listened to "Leslie's Tune" by Kila on repeat a lot, as well as "Forever Can Be" by Ashes Divide.
If you could meet any fictional character who would it be?
Bran from The Dark is Rising sequence by Susan Cooper. Because he's dark. ;p

I totally agree - dark makes everything sound much sexier! I've only just started reading Shiver tonight and I'm already in love with her writing, it's so beautiful.
