Q: What exactly is 'The Author Pairs Movement'
A: 'The Author Pairs Movement' otherwise known as the TAPM is a place where authors to come and look for an other similiar to them in level and genre and pair up with them to write a poem, song, short story, chapter story, etc.
Q: So...how are they paired up with their match?
A: Well first the TAPM managers view the forms that authors have filled out, and judging by the quality of the sample story (poem, song, etc) and the type of genre they like, the TAPM managers will pair them up with someone who is on the same level and likes the same genre.
Q: So, in the forms, do you have to give out any real information..like last name, address, email...you know, stuff you could track me down with?
A: Nope! You just have to give out your name (first name only) or your nickname, a sample story (song, poem, etc.), and likes and dislikes!

Christie sat down to a bowl of steaming hot carrot soup. Trina the cook was telling her regular lunchtime story. She listened, sipping daintily like her mistress Princess Kitty.
“And in the midsummer’s eve moonlight danced the fairies, in circles. Their wings were made of silver and spiderwebs and dewdrops. And they sang and played silver flutes, and their music was haunting and sweet and pure and enchanting and wonderful. Then the girl looked and saw her lover was dancing with them. And she called his name, but he did not hear her, mesmerized as he was by the enchantment. And when the fairies left, he was gone with them. She went home to tell her parents, but they thought her mad. They were sorry, though, when they found her run away. Perhaps,” she said, “She tried to find him. But that was two hundred years ago.”
“You believe in fairies, then?” a small boy asked.
“Of course I do, child!” answered Trina. “But they don’t reveal themselves much anymore, oh my, no.”
Favorite genre of stories, songs, poems, etc. Fantasy/mysterious

Name: Emma
Belle Fianne stared at the murky black water. "It couldn't be true! It just couldn't" her mind screamed. Her family had to be okay! She tried to reassure herself, but her heart knew the truth. Her family had been killed by The Others. It happened to every seer in Azulla... And Naene and Ezzoonell and Leianne and Lonea and Opekkea and Zeloona. It happened to every seer in the whole Kingdom of Anelloz! Belle was a seer. She thought that she had gotten out in time. She thought she had come to Anelloz School of Science soon enough. The School of Science was actually a secret school for seers, like Belle. She thought she had come soon enough, that the Others wouldn't be able to track her and her family down by the scent of her seer's blood. She had hoped that her family would be able to burn every piece of her belongings, even her room, so that there was no scent. She thought that her story would be different. She thought, but she was wrong. As the very first seer, Anelloz, had foretold, every seer's family wouldn't be able to burn every bit of their things. Belle's mother had kept a single lock of her deep auburn hair. It was the Fianne's undoing.
Genre: Fantasy!!! <3

Genre: Fantasy
Story sample: A young girl walked through the woods, not sure where she was. Little did she know that she was being watched. "Poor dear, she's lost," said the largest of the group, who was 5 in. tall. "You don't supose that-"
"It's her work?" replyed another. "Mercy me, I hope not."
"She's got the signs though,"put in a young scholarly-looking one, "sleepy eyes, the hopeless expression; we're going to have to warn the king."
"He's not going to be pleased." "I know."
