In other words,
Chatterbox: Blab About Books
CB Author Interviews AKA Author of (every other) Day!
In other words,...
In other words, a way for us to flatter each other immensely.
A lot of big shot writers- and debut authors and Other Authors- get interviewed and those interviews sometimes make it to a publisher's website, fansite, YouTube, TV sometimes, etc. etc.
Well, now it's time for the authors of the ChatterBox to get star treatment!
Every other day, someone will get picked to be Interviewed. Fellow CBers will post 3 questions i.e. Why did you start to write? and then the Author of (every other) Day will answer them (for their alloted 2 days of CB Stardom!). And then after their 2 days are over, they'll choose someone else to interview (or they could let me choose since I have too much time on my hands... *hinthint*)! And repeat repeat repeat. This is a good way to get everyone prepped and ready for their future real-life author interviews. And it's also fun. And flattering.
Try to pick someone who posts frequently, since they only have two days to answer des questions. (an easy way to do this is to click "Last Reply" on the thread twice so you can see who posted recently_
Now lettuce begin!
Let's start with... (*searches Inkwell and BaB for frequent post'er*)
SC!
From the information that I can gather in a few seconds, the intelligent SC is a frequent post'er on RPS. She is currently a part of the Deaderlands RP (which she also started) in which she plays/writes as Peter Pan. She is also part of the RP started by the phenomenal ARPS which currently has no title. She writes as Juliet Butler in said RP. There is a countless number of other RPs and RRs which she is a part of and/or started.
She was a participant- and winner- of the 2011 NaNoWriMo. Her hobbies include the delicate and renowned art of Running Like a Maniac, playing the piano and chorus. The music she novels to includes: New Divide and Famous Last Words, and the music she listens to when she is not novel'ing includes Muse, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance and- occasionally- Greenday. She currently lives Somewhere In the Universe but also vacations to Narnia on occasion.
Her works include but are not limited to:
The Guardian Angiks of Demok High (a novel written for NaNoWriMo)
Endeyrory Pracea also known as Endey the Slayer in An Untitled Dragon RP (started by the amazing Tiffany W.)
Cartmer Tylara Animesti Tasbreeyard vika'Drom in New Character Lounge (which she also started)
Hephaestus in Mythology RP (started by the ever-so-smart Choco)
Nyx in Mythology RP
Shade Chase in Put-Your-Character-In-A-Room (started by the amazing Quintus) Shade Chase was also featured in another Character Lounge
Dante Rossi in Steampunk Fantasy Circus That Definitely Didn't Copy The Night Circus By Erin Morgenstern (started by yours truly)
Q&A Time!
(try a minimum of 3 for Maximum Flattering but more is always appreciated I'm sure)
Q: When did you start writing?
Q: Who is your favourite character that you have written? Including both original fiction and RP characters.
Q: Which character that you wrote would you say is most like you?
(sneaking in an extra few questions)
Q: Which character that you didn't write would you say is most like you?
Q: If you could write a story of your life, what would be the title?
And I probably stole half those questions from some interview or English worksheet. ;)
Now let the games begin!
(and if you were wondering, when I do my research, I do my research well) ;)

Melody!!!!!!!! Where are you??
(April 18, 2012 - 10:53 am)
Sorry... I was on vacation in Maine with no Internet. I shall answer now.
Olive's questions:
1. I am working on a book right now. It's about a princess who goes on a quest to save her brother and meets all these mythological creatures. It is not as bad as it sounds, I promise.:)
2. RPs. I love making the profiles.
3. Willa from Kingdom Keepers because she is the best person ever! Or Harry Styles. Yeah, dinner with Harry Styles would be fun.
Elizabeth M.'s questions:
1. Kingdom Keepers, because it means being in Disney World and fighting Disney villains all day.
2. I am very proud of Sonny, since she's hilarious. In SI role plays, I liked the villain one because I got voted most heartless, which is totally not true.;)
3. The crazy writer girl obsessed with Disney
Blackberry E.'s questions:
1. Willa from Kingdom Keepers!!
2. Just one, but I've started countless short stories, few of which I've finished, I'm sad to say
3. Fiction. Sorry, that's as specific as I can get. I'm slightly partial to fantasy and sci-fi. Ooh, and blends of different genres!!
4. A fourth question. Tsk, tsk. I have to force myself to get my laptop out at first, then I kind of get drawn in. I don't need motivation to continue. And it has been scientifically proven that chocolate and peanut butter motivate me.
Gwynne's questions:
1. The book I am planning to send to a publisher. I will find some way for it to become a Disney cartoon and for me to play the princess.
2. My secret talent? Hmm. I'm good at acting comedic roles. For my fall play, I was given a role that had pretty much no personality and my friend and I took it to the extreme comedically. I will do anything on stage to get a laugh.
3. I would probably ask my future self if I end up marrying Harry Styles coughcoughorthatotherguycoughcough. Just kidding!! I would probably ask J.K. Rowling if she'd like to lend me some money for a trip to Disney World.
Good enough answers? Ooh, that was fun. How much longer does my reign last?

What is your character's opinions on dragons?
Do you think trigonometry is the worst thing that has ever happened to this world?
What is the best RP you've ever joined?
(April 18, 2012 - 9:09 pm)
1. P. would probably be excited.
Sonny would probably complain that it didn't match her boots.
M. would probably try to ride it.
D.... Well, I don't know about her. She's a mermaid, so she probably wouldn't come across a dragon normally.
2. I haven't had to take trig yet. If its anything like geometry, then yes.
3. I think that would probably have to be NAME's Academy role play.ws

Sorry for that random ws at the end. My keyboard was malfunctioning and wouldn't let me fix it.
(April 19, 2012 - 4:46 pm)
@Melody- Sonny really is awesome. :D
(April 19, 2012 - 10:39 am)
Why thank you!
(April 19, 2012 - 2:27 pm)
Oh, and thanks for the encouragement and great questions, guys!
(April 19, 2012 - 8:14 am)
Melody's reign started on the 14th!... and today's the 19th. Right. Blame Michael Grant (Gone is so amazing) and my piano exam.
Anyway in SC's words, Melody, The Daily Phog of choosing the CB Author of Every (other) Day is up to you now! Choose wisely...
(April 19, 2012 - 2:39 pm)
I'm here and saw something telling me to read it, but its not posted yet, so...
This is awkward.
(April 19, 2012 - 4:44 pm)
@Olive: This was a really great idea!!!!!!! I will always contribute questions!
Please pick me sometime! It is one of my greatest PASSIONS to be interviews. I wuld be extremely happy to be interviewed!
(April 19, 2012 - 4:58 pm)
Aw, that was fun!:(
@Blackberry E.
In that case, it should be your turn:)
(April 20, 2012 - 9:33 pm)
I want to join! It looks fun! And Melody has been asking me--no, begging--to do it.
(April 21, 2012 - 1:21 pm)
TOP!
(April 21, 2012 - 1:59 pm)
This sounds like so fun! Sometimes when I can't fall asleep I pretend I'm on some show and ask myself random questions to answer. It would be so cool if I got chosen!
