How do you cope with a lack of clean dishes/cutlery?
I never let my dirty dishes accumulate to such an extent in the first place.
15 (28.3%)
Once it's come to that point I give in and just do the dishes.
32 (60.4%)
I invite over someone who I know can't tolerate the sight of piled up dishes, and hope they'll volunteer to (help) clean up.
4 (7.5%)
That's what the reserve stash of paper plates and plastic sporks is for.
10 (18.9%)
I go out to eat elsewhere.
8 (15.1%)
I switch to eating food that can be prepared/eaten without the dishes/cutlery. (Or eat things that way regardless of custom.)
14 (26.4%)
I wash the single plate/fork/mug/whatever I need and leave the rest.
22 (41.5%)
If still possible I use related items that are clean if not ideally suited (e.g. all forks are dirty so I make do with a cake fork, or use a large plate instead of a small one etc.)
24 (45.3%)
I try to find a used item that might still be reasonably clean enough to be used again without washing it.
9 (17.0%)
I buy new dishes/cutlery.
0 (0.0%)
How willing to cuddle is (are) your pet(s)?
It is not the kind you cuddle (e.g. racing cockroaches or fish or the like).
1 (2.9%)
It won't tolerate petting or cuddling at all.
1 (2.9%)
It lets me pet it sometimes. If I'm lucky.
5 (14.3%)
I can bribe it with food to let itself be petted.
2 (5.7%)
If I force-cuddle it, it usually holds still and endures it.
4 (11.4%)
It voluntarily lets me cuddle and pet it for a short while, if I initiate.
7 (20.0%)
It sometimes voluntarily comes to me and initiates cuddling itself, but not for long.
9 (25.7%)
It initiates or even demands lengthy cuddles, but only on its own terms.
18 (51.4%)
My pet loves to cuddle at almost all times.
11 (31.4%)
It's not so much that it likes cuddles, as that it likes to sleep in a warm and soft spot that happens to be me.
16 (45.7%)
I dislike cuddling my pet, so this is avoided from my end, and I couldn't say what its preferences are.
0 (0.0%)
Do you ever redo old works?
Yes.
8 (44.4%)
No.
10 (55.6%)
I'm more complicated than your radio buttons, and will explain this in a comment.

for initial sketching (whether a study or the base of later picture), what is faster for you?
traditional media (i.e. physical pigments applied to surfaces in some manner)
3 (60.0%)
digital (i.e. whatever software you like best for a task: GIMP, Photoshop, Painter, ArtRage...)
1 (20.0%)
no difference
1 (20.0%)
don't know/can't say (b/c you never keep track of time, have only ever used one method for this, always mix both...)
0 (0.0%)
for a fully rendered drawing, what is faster for you? (presuming about equally detailed/skilled results are the goal)
for inking line art, what is faster for you?
for coloring line art, what is faster for you?
for a fully rendered painting, what is faster for you?
how important is such time/effort efficiency on average when choosing your medium for an artwork? 10 meaning "most important", 0 meaning "not important" compared to other consideration (e.g. wanting to have a physical object, not wanting to have a mess with paints everywhere, having some effect you can only get digitally etc.)

How much money do you spend on food per week per person? (in an average week, eating your average food, not an exceptional one with a holiday feast or a dinner treat at an for you unusually fancy restaurant or the like)
less than 20 € (currently exchanged to about 27.50 US$ or so or 17.50 UK£, convert € below accordingly, though I realize the exchange rate vagaries don't reflect local purchasing power for stuff like food necessarily)

What do you think of Santa!Cthulhu as merchandise motif?
Could be fun. I might even consider getting something with it if circumstances were right/I needed a Christmas card/...
3 (75.0%)
That seems all quite complicated and costs too much. If I wanted a Santa!Cthulhu card, I'd just email you and ask for the hi-res file to print it myself.
1 (25.0%)
Eh, don't bother. It's not great as a motif and Cthulhus are overdone anyway.

Should I freeze comments in that post?
How many WIPs do you follow?
none
5 (12.8%)
none in principle, but there is that one special story I broke my no-WIPs rule for...
8 (20.5%)
a few (say less than ten)
16 (41.0%)
more than a few but not that many (say more than ten but less than 25)
4 (10.3%)
more than 25 but (probably) less than 100
2 (5.1%)
more than 100
0 (0.0%)
more than 200
0 (0.0%)
too many for me to keep track the number even approximately
2 (5.1%)
I have no idea how many, but not because the number is too large

What is your reaction to religious quotes as blog signatures?
I like them.

I don't mind them/just overlook them.

How do you taste food when cooking?
I always use two spoons, anything else would be unhygienic/disgusting/getting into bad habits...
1 (1.9%)
I only use two spoons when I cook for others, I don't bother when I'm cooking just for myself, and I'm the only one eating the food anyway.
14 (26.9%)
It depends on some other circumstances (like cooking for family vs. guests, whether I'm sick and potentially infectious,...)
20 (38.5%)
I never bother using extra spoons, such a tiny amount of saliva transfer has never harmed anyone.
17 (32.7%)
Which combinations of sex & violence do you like in fiction?
none
15 (11.5%)
violence against outsiders is a turn-on for the characters, and followed by sex between them
76 (58.5%)
consensual, planned violence between partners (e.g. agreed upon rough sex, with bruising or hitting)
102 (78.5%)
unplanned, but mutual violence against each other (with both being equally aggressive/violent) then leads to sex
89 (68.5%)
unplanned, violent aggression (e.g. during an escalating argument) of character A against their partner B is a turn-on for B, and then leads to sex
34 (26.2%)
unplanned, violent aggression (e.g. during an escalating argument) of character A against their partner B is a turn-on for A, and then leads to sex
15 (11.5%)
violence with non-con sex
