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) ;)

Yeah, the Shugo Chara ones tend to be rather odd considering there is:
Your rants on the Royal Capelets, the lack of cool eaopns on the girls' Character Transforms, and Death Rebel's awesome scythe
The cursing (that's my fault)
The weird things my teenage brain comes up with
The original storyline (that is Peach Pit's fault)
Ikuto Tsukiyomi (sort of says it all) (also Peach Pit's fault)
Hopefully the Cardcaptor Sakura ones are more appropriate and I will find one and post it tomorrow.

Unfortunatly, it will not load on here without messing everything up, and I do not have the patience to type it out. Oh well.

1. Who's your favorite author?
2. Would your second-favorite character ever consider a perm?
3. Your thoughts on the awful epidemic of texting while eating?
(September 29, 2012 - 5:00 pm)
1. I dunno. There are a lot of really great authors, and I can't pick a favorite.
2. What is a perm? I'm going to Google it. Oookay. Well, my favorit character and second favorite changes a lot, depending on what episode I'm working on (in my demon comic, chapters are called episodes becuase it is designed like an anime.) So let's see. Sakura is a girl, but I can't imagine her with curly hair. Heck no. Ani is technically female, but her hair is straight as can be and for suggesting this, I would probably get my head chopped off. Heck no. Blue is technically male, and even though he is rather weird (he's a bard, meaning he just naturally has to be craazy and spoony) he would never even think about it. Heck no. Sage is a boy and I don't think he would like it if his hair was really curly. Heck no. And Pochi, well, maybe he could get a perm in his grimit form.
3. Well, I don't have much experience with this, seeing as I don't have a phone and my parents would probably turn into flying elephants before they texted while eating. I don't think it is acceptable at all. If you were expecting a rant, well, I don't rant endlessly that often.

I. How often do you write?
II. If you could meet anybody in the world, who would it be?
III. Do you believe it is practical at this juncture in time to put human life forms on Mars?
(September 30, 2012 - 7:35 pm)
I. It depends on whenever I feel like it. That means about every day, because I have a rather bad habit of drawing/writing in the middle of class when things get too boring.
II. You. Mwa ha ha. No, I'm kidding. Um.... I don't know. Maybe.... umm.... Neil Peart, drummer and lyrics writer of Rush? To be honest, any Rush member would do.
III. Not at this time. First we would need to terraform Mars. We would need to attach rockets to a couple of asteroids, steer them toward Jupiter which serves as a giant magnet, and eventually release them and send them shooting off towards Mars. They would crash into Mars, realising tons of carbon dioxide in the soil. This would create more carbon dioxide in Mar's atmosphere, not oly thickening the atmosphere, but creating a greenhouse effect. As the carbon dioxide heats up the planet, the polar icecaps melt, realising more carbon dioxide, creating a runaway greenhouse gas effect. Eventually, Mars would have oceans, a proper climate, and a thick enough atmosphere. Then we send plants into Mars to create some life forms and oxygen. Eventually, we will be able to send in animals and then people.

So, Johnny Red (it's a joke), who's the next Author?

Whoever wants to be it next and posts wins.
Captcha says nmbt. Wombats rule!

As a very old user of the CB, I hereby give life to this thread! It is time for the new generation of CBers to have an Author of Every (Other) Day!
(Note: I was reading through old posts and the new posts and it was an amazing trip down memory road. This website inspired me to write and even helped me find NaNoWriMo. When I had troubles or just questions, I was so glad I could ask them in this tight-knit community! Thank you, Admins, for keeping this website up and running. You guys are always the best!)
You're welcome, Olive. We do it for all of you. And we're happy to hear from you again.
Admin
