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) ;)

Chocolate chip! om nom nom!
1. What are your thoughts on this question?
It's very... meta. Very [title of show]. I like it.
2. Does your favorite character have a pet?
Mmm... no. Unless she went out and bought one without telling me.
3. What's your favorite book with a number in the title?
Assuming you mean one what is not mine (which I am, since I don't have any stories with numbers in the title), then The Fifth Elephant.

Here are some questions
1. What is your favorite kind of music?
2. What is your favorite movie?
3. Do you find it easier to think of things to write in the morning or at night?
(May 7, 2012 - 5:56 pm)
1. What is your favorite kind of music?
I listen mostly to musicals. I like Sondheim especially—anything complex will appeal to me over more simple fare. Jukebox musicals are the devil. I don't tend to like pop-y stuff very much, although I readily admit that I'm going through a bit of an In the Heights obsession because it's fantastic and stuff. I am, in fact, listening to In the Heights right now.
2. What is your favorite movie?
Um... It depends on the day.
3. Do you find it easier to think of things to write in the morning or at night?
At night. Always at night. 90% of the time when I get a burst of creative inspiration it's five minutes after I've gone to bed. I'm always so glassy in the mornings that I can barely think straight, let alone be creative. :P DSPD is like that.

1. Do you like Nightmare Before Christmas? /awkwardlyspecific
2. What is your least favorite book?
3. What is your favorite thing you've written so far?
(May 7, 2012 - 10:32 pm)
1. Do you like Nightmare Before Christmas?
That's... random. But yes, yes I do. In fact I have the collector's edition sitting on my bookshelf right now.
2. What is your least favorite book?
Hrmmmmm... Catcher in the Rye probably.
3. What is your favorite thing you've written so far?
I don't know. Perhaps the Tom Gaunt fic—there's a reason I can't leave it alone. The process or writing it is highly enjoyable/frustrating, at any rate.

Q: If you had to wear one outfit for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Q: If someone ventured into your room, what would be the first thing that sticks out at them?
