    Just wondering how far plotted into Hellblazer you were before you left the book? Were you planning on staying on long?

    Cross-posted form the Work FAQ thread:

    Regarding comic scripting:

    When you start on a fresh story and brainstorm up new plotlines, do you start scripting immediately after inspiration or do you map out the plot like say through beat sheets?

    Thanks.

    Cheers,

    Chris.

    I guess the Marvel UK is not of interest to you then, as you have not answered my original question.

    But have you decided on that new (and I believe final) project for Marvel?

    And if you have got that ne project when will it be announced, and clues of what it will be?

    Warren, I don't recall hearing you talk much about theater. Any playwrights you particularly like? Do you ever go to the theater?

    Warren, is there any particular science fiction anthology you would recommend for someone who has an interest in sci-fi and its subgenres, but hasn't had the opportunity or know-how to dive into it?

    <strong>@Myles</strong>

    Try <a href="http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=460&page=1#Item_16">this discussion</a>. A few contributions by Warren, worth a look.

    Thanks! Relatively new (to posting here). But he does say "A futurist reading list does NOT include science fiction."

    So I figured I'd ask.

    Nah, was meant to be a suggestion really, haven't had any coffee.

    And welcome to WhiteChapel, by the way.

    Warren, having never drunken 'Red Bull' (I kid you not), does it more or less taste like 'Boost'?

    Mr. Ellis,

    If you were able to punch any one person, living or dead, in the jaw, who would it be?

    You may also choose to be wearing brass knuckles, barbed wire or a gauntlet made out of pure, unadultered hate if you'd like.

    As posted by <strong>JShilpetski</strong> in <a href="http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=498&page=2#Item_23">Warren's Work FAQ</a> thread:
    <blockquote><a href="http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=152556">From Newsarama</a>, Newsarama Note: When asked by Newsarama, Templesmith said in regards to Fell, his Image series with Warren Ellis: "Fell goes on as normal meaning, whenever Warren gets me some script, I find some time and I do it. Same as always. Fell's not something I'd ever abandon."</blockquote>

    We've seen a character based on Hunter S Thompson, and we're half way through a Desolation Jones arc based elements from the life of Philip K Dick. Any other authors whose life you could see as inspiration for a comics story?

    Bonus points if they have a middle initial.

    Is there any other form of expressive art besides writing you enjoy doing that you just do for yourself, like playing a musical instrument, painting, etc?

    Do you ever get tired of hating things? I used to find I could hate all stupidity equally, but it gets exhausting after a while. Now I use indifference and an evil sense of humor to get past most things and save hate for stuff that actually warrants it.

    hate is a self-replenishing energy source. indifference is for the weak.

    or something.

    He will put the hate back in you. Probably via Arse Eels.
