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) ;)

Ohohoh!!! I wish you luck with French class! I've been taking it since I was four- nine years now- and I still find the masculine and feminine rule annoying. Mais la langue francais est tres belle. (but the French language is very pretty) Just be sure to always have a dictionary. ;)

@Olive- I hope you don't mind me choosing the author...
The author is... *drumroll* *trumpets* *drumroll* *fancy percussion stuff* TIFFANY W.!
Tiffany W. is a frequent poster and a lover of dragons. She hikes and took part in LBL, which she's also based a book on. She is a member on Pottermore and was sorted into Gryffindor, which she found quite odd. She is well known for portraying Draco in The Dragon RP Part One and Two, but also has other works including:
(Untitled) - A story based on LBL. Excerpts can be found in Pudding's Place.
Ukanite in A Mystery RP
My Questions, Miss W.:

3. What inspires you and your writing?
(April 30, 2012 - 10:46 am)
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
What is your favorite genre?
Fantasyfantasyfantasy. No doubt. Fantasy that involves dragons, magic, and long-lost brothers.
If you could step into the life of one of your characters, which character's life would it be?
Hmm... that's a hard one. I'd probably say Tiffany's in the ongoing and untitled Tiffany Wosapom/Wiralod books. She's the person I got my name on the CB from.
What inspires you and your writing?
The magazine and website of... CRICKET!
(April 30, 2012 - 5:07 pm)
Yay, Tiffany!

Questions for Tiffany W.

Go Tiffany!
1) What is your favorite Harry Potter book and movie?
2) If you could have three wishes, what would you wish for? (And not more!)
3) Who is your favorite actor?
4) What kind of exotic pet do you want, but can't have?
(April 30, 2012 - 9:14 pm)
Yay, Tiffany! :D
Q: You seem quite fond of the name Tiffany. Why have you named your Tiffanys Tiffany?
Q: What work are you most proud of?
Q: If you had to turn any of your works into a movie, which would it be and who would make up the cast? (assuming you'd need a cast)
(April 30, 2012 - 5:39 pm)
How do you feel about your characters watching the Titanic movie?
Well, all of my characters either live in the middle of the woods, are medieval, are what I call semi-medieval (knights and dragons, check. Baked hedggehog, let's do without), or don't watch many movies. So I'd look around and accuse the first person I saw of altering the story's setting and the personality of the character.
What is your favorite book?
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Discworld series, Terrier....
Does your third favorite character like ice cream?
Third favorite character would be Sirius, after Tiffany and Draco. Yes, yes he does. Vanilla and Heath Bar.
What's your dream job?
Something involving writing and outdoor group camps.
Where to you want to live when you grow up?
No idea, but I do know that I'll travel a lot. First five on my list are Germany, France, England, Yellowstone, and Rome.
Do you want to be famous? Why or why not?
I don't want to be so famous that everyone knows my name, but I do want to be relatively well known if it's for something like books and not, say, for having the longest toenails in the world.
Who is your #1 celeb crush?
Never had one.
(April 30, 2012 - 6:33 pm)
What would your least favorite of your characters do if he/she was charged at by a unicorn w/ a jetpack? (YAY! random dragon rp reference!)
(April 30, 2012 - 6:35 pm)
What is your favorite Harry Potter book and movie?
Half-Blood-Prince. No competition.
If you could have three wishes, what would you wish for? (And not more!)
An itouch, lots of money to donate to sea otters and and clouded leopards, and for people to discover a cure for severe allergies.
Who is your favorite actor?
Some Russsian guy.
What kind of exotic pet do you want, but can't have?
Gigantic talking parrot
You seem quite fond of the name Tiffany. Why have you named your Tiffanys Tiffany?
I've liked it for a long time, and my love of it increased after I read the Tiffany Aching books.
What work are you most proud of?
Inconvenient Alliances (at least that's what I'm calling it right now, it's the LBL thing).
If you had to turn any of your works into a movie, which would it be and who would make up the cast? (assuming you'd need a cast)
If it means group effort, then the dragon RP. If not, inconvenient alliances. In IA, I'd definitely want to play Tiffany... but otherways, I have no idea.
What would your least favorite of your characters do if he/she was charged at by a unicorn w/ a jetpack? (YAY! random dragon rp reference!)
Hmm... my least favorite character is Quartz (but I still LOVE her, which tells you something) so she'd scream for Obsidian, Spark, Chuji, and anyone else who happens to be around at the moment while sending a blinding beam of light toward the unicorn.
