1. What is the last book you read and what book(s), if any, are you currently reading?
The last book I read? Yay, my #books tag works LOL. The last book I read was a Slayers series light novel, Delusion in Crimson (Slayers #11). As for books I'm currently reading, I actually have a long list on Goodreads, but I've sort of more... given up... but don't want to tag them as given up... I really should just continue on to the next Slayers book, but I didn't want to just keep reading all these easy light novels... so the book on my Kindle now is The King's Cartographer by Jair Alcalay.

2. How about moving pictures? Are you a fan of any TV show or movie right now?
I don't think I'm too big a fan of moving pictures. Yeah, I had my stint on Netflix binging Criminal Minds, but I've reached a point where I lost interest... the whole side story of Reid getting framed by that other criminal... Cat? lady just put me off. The last movie/show I went to was.... erm... Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel. I felt it pretty weird. Then I had tickets for Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited... they are doing a Wes Anderson thing these few weeks. But I forgot to go LOL. Coz usually the night show is at 9.30pm but for that one night show was at 10:30pm.... so I forgot about it LOL. I couldn't compare the two, but just by The Grand Budapest Hotel... he has a very.... wide angle shots? Full room-view?? I think so.

3. What's your favorite genre, and why?
Any of the light-hearted genre, comedy, humor, young adult maybe. When the mood strikes I enjoy a good historical fiction as well.

4. If we were all evacuating the planet, and you could only bring 3 unique works of entertainment for posterity, which would you pick? Let's just assume that we've coordinated it so there are no repeats.
I don't know. If I say the Kindle, does it include the books inside? Or if I say Kindle and it's just the Kindle so it's just a husk and no content? I suppose I'll assume the existing content can be included. In that case:
- My Kindle (with the existing books.... quite a bit)
- My Nintendo Switch (with the existing games downloaded... not that many in there)
- My iPad (with the existing apps downloaded.... not that many games, but it's got a good puzzle one and I've pre-downloaded a lot of photos for the puzzles)
But then we need a power source! So I don't know if all these electronics are really a good idea. Let's assume electricity or power source is not an issue!

5. Do you make new works as well (fannish or original both count)? Or is that not your skillset/interest?
nah... I do have a piece of Harry Potter fanfiction written up and hidden somewhere. erm... I think I did 2 or 3 NaNoWriMos (completed!) so I can at least say... I've done it before! I think one was an original fiction and the other was a... Slayers fanfiction? Was it? I don't really remember. But I don't have any active... masterpieces or works or whatever. I like reading and enjoying stuff more than creating stuff.

Super cool you wrote your own Harry Potter fic :D Also, I agree, I would take my kindle and a music player full of music if we were to have electricity. Thanks for pointing out the possibility of not having any though! I've thought over my list accordingly :D
