Having gotten my millionth review on this subject...

Why in the world do people ask you where you get your ideas when writing? Or your humour? The simple and obvious answer is from my imagination. It's not like there's some great blackmarket trade in ideas. "Award winning plot, guaranteed to win you a Nebula!" Bah. So the answers obvious, why do people ask? All I do these days is refer them to Neil Gaiman's essay anyway...

Okay, now I understand. 'Where do you get your humour from' is a very... well, not stupid, but ridiculous question. The answer to that I would give would basically be '50% genes, 50% upbringing, but the scientist are still debating that'...

*grins* I like your answer. In my case, I suspect I'll just end up pointing the reviewer towards Neil Gaiman's essay.

Hmmm, I'm a fuure Biology student after all. That's my logical answer...
