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) ;)

Mine, too. I like the Readheaded League because I'm a Red Head, I like the speckled Band because I am the sort of person that likes murder and stuff like that. I also like the one that's called something like "The Four Orange Pips." It's about this guy who sends orange seeds to people he doesn't like.

*virtually chides self* It's the FIVE Orange Pips. tsk, tsk.

Everinne's questions
Do you always tell the TRUTH?
No. I try to, though. That was a question that I was often asked when I was about six years old.
Do you like classical music or do you totally hate it?
I like it well enough. But NOT the Hallelujah Chorus.
Where do you think would be the best place to be shipwrecked?
Umm....near Cuba or something like that.
Elizabeth M.'s questions
If you could make a movie about one of the books you wrote, which actor/actress would play your main character?
I have never gone to the movies/cinema.
Where do you see yourself in twenty years?
In America, most likely Texas, as a mother, and a teacher or author.
What is your favorite genre in reading and writing?
Historical fiction and mystery.
Saz's questions
Is the Truth the most importain thing in life?
I would say no. I think love is the most important thing in the world, as because of it, we were made.
Is 16 a good number?
Well, it's not a bad number, so, yes.
Have you ever worn gumboots?
If you count plastic rainboots, then, yes.
If so, what colour were they?
Black background and rows of rainbow hearts.
How often do you write?
Once a week? I don't really take my writing that seriously.
Melody's questions
Do you like the Beatles?
Never heard a song that they performed.
Turn your favorite character into a unicorn. Now describe what he/she looks like as a unicorn.
Katherine would have warm purple eyes, white skin/fur/hair. Her mane and tail would be chesnut. A proud, smart beast.
What dinosaur is your favorite? If it came across a plate, would it eat the plate?
I don't know...stegasauruses? Yes.

@ Gollum:
Do you play the flute?
No, although I enjoy hearing it. I play the piano and guitar.
Do you enjoy the beach?
I never really go but I did like it the few times I went. I love the ocean.
What do you say when you lose your train of thought?
I stare blankly and say "uh..."
Do you prefer pencils or pens?
Pens! I have a huge collection of pens that are waiting to be used. I use pencils for math only, it seems.
(June 23, 2012 - 3:53 am)
Could you tell us more about Everrine?
What are you wearing?
What is your opinion on chocolate?
What music, if any, are you listening to at the moment?
(June 23, 2012 - 1:15 pm)
@ Tiffany:
(Your questions are numbered, because this website doesn't seem to want to italicize the questions and so gets confused. Hope this makes things clearer.)
1. Everinne is my make-believe character who is the leader of the rebel band against the magician king, because he rules everyone with a rod of iron and uses his magic to twist the minds of the people to obey him and his rule, and the band is trying to dethrone him. She is a spunky, fearless girl who's wicked with a sword, has a quick temper that flashes on all alike without mercy when she's annoyed and prefers the company of the boys over the girls. The kingdom is called the Midnight Sun--which really just means the moon; I got that from the Odyssey--and they have to keep it from being entirely eclipsed.
2. I'm wearing my camp t-shirt from last summer and jean shorts. On my left hand is my lucky ring.
3. I never really did like chocolate, although I do eat a little on occasion.
4. I'm not listening to music although the song that's replaying in my head is alternating Bruno Mars's Just the Way You Are and 1D's One Thing.
