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) ;)

Can I be the next author, please??? *smiles sweetly*
(August 15, 2012 - 2:57 pm)
Go ahead.
(August 15, 2012 - 5:30 pm)
It is not up to me, but I would like you to be the next author.

Okay, here's some info-mation on me:
Loves: Fencing, the story of the Titanic, reading, WRITING!
Likes: One Direction, going on the Chatterbox, emailing with my friends.
Dislikes: Condescending people and books that try too hard to imitate some epic saga like Twilight, HP, HG, LotR, etc.
Hates: BAD BOOKS!
Bad Habits: Biting my nails, talking to myself, talking to my characters when they get unruly.
Favorite books genres: Fantasy, historical.
Favorite Movie: War Horse
Greatest wish: Publish my first book before college.
Three things I'd want on a deserted island: My computer (so I can write my stories), my charger (because, unfortunately, I don't have a solar powered computer), and a Kindle (in a sneaky way to have every book I love in one little device. Unfortunately, I don't have one yet. So hopefully, no deserted islands in the near future.)

Didn't you go already as PiperC.? But anyway,
1. What is your opinion of Diary of a Wimpy Kid?
2. Thoughts on Key Lime Pie?
3. Binders vs. Folders.
4. Describe your toothbrush in complete sentences.
(August 17, 2012 - 7:54 am)
I went as PiperC. but not Everinne (mwah-ha-ha, by changing my name, I get to go again!)
1. Never read it, but by the title I gather it to be a slightly stupid book.
2. Okay...Limey.
3. Folders, to keep stories in.
4. My toothbrush is green and I use it to brush my teeth with. (???)
(August 18, 2012 - 6:36 pm)
Diary of a Wimpy Kid is stupid.
@ the toothbrush question:
A random writing excercise I made up.
(August 19, 2012 - 3:26 pm)
Go Everinne!
1. Do polar bears scare you, crack you up, or make you sad?
2. Does a character you created have a pet?
3. What are your feelings on Twilight?
(August 19, 2012 - 11:00 pm)
1. I don't really know... probably none, but most likely sad. It must be pretty hard and desolate for them to live in that frozen tundra.
2. None of them! Well, not a house pet; the closest is a horse for transportation.
3. I've never read it, since I'm not that into vampire fiction. Still, I don't like rip-offs, and I've seen a lot of books that are rip-offs of Twilight, which is why I said that.

If you could bring one of your characters to life who would you choose?
How often do you read nonfiction books?
Do you like frogs?
(August 28, 2012 - 6:16 pm)
I would bring Fira to life and ask her to teach me how to be her. I admire her as I don't admire anyone in reality.
I hardly ever read nonfiction books--unless it's something about the Titanic!
I like frogs; they are the only amphibian that doesn't make me cringe.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've visited this thread! Well, I'm back to supporting one of the greatest theads ever made!!!!!!!
Before I start (OMG YOU LIKE ONE DIRECTION?! I LOOOOOOVE THEM!) Sorry, I just had to let that out!
1) Any writing tips?
2) (Be honest here) Who is your favorite 1D member? :)
3) What's fencing like? Is it fun? (My mom may take us to a class htis year, so that's partly why I'm askin.)
4) What qualities in your opinion make a book a good book?
(September 1, 2012 - 10:46 am)
Yay! Fellow Directioner!
1. Write everything you think of. Write down everything you think that could fit in a book. Even if it doesn't it's kind of funny to reread things you thought of last year. Listen to people talking, too. Not eavesdrop, but if you hear someone say something interesting, write that down too. Bascially: WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING!
2. Zayn or Louis. Zayn because he's a good singer. Louis...he's cute, in all ways. Who's yours?
3. Fencing is really cool! It's kind of nerve-wracking and you feel like your body's all tense because you have to attack and block at the same time but it's exhillerating when you get the touch and the other person doesn't. Just be warned--if you're fencing against a tall person who's really good and not very nice, be prepared for a sore shoulder. It doesn't happen all that often, but it did twice to me. You should really try it!
4. Believeable characters that are all different...twisting plot that takes you where you would have never thought...a different plot, too, that doesn't have really commonly used elements (i.e. vampires, werewolves, dystopia)
Good questions Blackberry! Question for you: What's your favorite 1D song? Mine's Everything About You and One Thing.
(September 1, 2012 - 6:58 pm)
*hyperventilates* Directioners! I love Harry. He is amazing. Seriously. And for songs, I like More Than This. I can't wait to hear LWWY. And supposedly the new album should be available for preorder tonight at midnight! Yeep!
(September 2, 2012 - 11:48 am)
When I first saw Zayn and Louis, (Hey, I'm not a One Direction fangirl.) I thought you were talking about H20. X). It's this Australian TV show about mermaids my friend made me watch.
