1. How did you get into fan fiction? Why Robert Pattinson fan fiction?
I started writing fan fiction a very long time ago. I think I was ten or eleven when I first started. I had a big obsession with the boy band *NSYNC and that is where it all started! From there, I've just wrote about whatever my obsession was that month. I got into Robert Pattinson fan fiction because after Twilight, like most girls, I was smitten by him.
2. What made you decide to start writing fan fiction?
I have always loved writing! At a very young age, I would just make up stories about anything and nothing or anyone in particular. When I discovered being starstruck, I was like, "Wow. I can write about real people and make them do whatever I want them to do!"
3. What is your writing process? Do you have a specific place you like to write, music you listen to, etc.?
I don't really have any specific type of process for writing. I write when the inspiration hits. Once I get going, its really hard to stop or think about anything other than what I'm working on. I usually write in my bedroom when I'm alone and I don't have any specific type of music I listen to but there will always be some kind of music on! I'll usually find a song or a tune that reflects the emotions of a certain chapter. It makes everything so much more vivid while I'm writing.
4. How much research goes into the stories? Time spent on the internet? Personal experience?
Most of the stories I write, I go by things that I have witnessed or been through myself so I don't research much unless it's regarding a place or something (like childbirth) that I'm not familiar with.
5. What is the hardest/easiest part about writing?
The hardest part to me is making things that are supposed to be funny sound that way while its being read. I also find that trying to conveying very strong emotions with words can sometimes be a little challenging. The easiest part is finding the inspiration. I can find inspiration in almost anything.
6. Out of the stories you've written which is your favorite? Favorite character? Why?
My favorite story that I have ever written is absolutely without a doubt Ruby Red. The female lead in that story, Nicole, is my favorite character as well. This story is very special to me because I took most of the events in that story from my real life. I used to be in the position that Nicole was in during the story so although it was fictional, it was very real. I think that is the most grittiest and darkest thing I have ever wrote and those type of stories are my absolute favorite. I was very proud of Ruby Red.
7. What do you think makes a good story?
In my opinion, suspense and darkness. Generally speaking though, I think it's the way that words are used. If you can move someone with one sentence, I believe you to be mighty special and talented.
8. Is there any story (or book) you wish you could have written? Why?
There are two books I wish I could have written that I just could not pick between the two. "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey and "Normal Girl" by Mary Jong-Fast. There are dark, disturbing, graphic, and very detailed. Anyone who knows me knows that that is my thing. That is what I enjoy to read and to write.
9. Do you have any writing tips?
I don't have any tips to give out because the way people write is totally up to them. Individuality in writing methods is what makes each story different and unique.
10. Who's your pick to be the next author interviewed? (This person will actually be it.)

From readers:
1. Do you think that, now that sarachini has nominated you to be the featured author this month, you might consider letting us repost all of your stories on here . . . and maybe finishing "Damnation"? Pleeease? I'd love to see your stories back up on RPF. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way. - DeeDee777
Well, if you have an archive and can pull them out and send them to me to repost because I have lost my flashdrive that had ALL of my stories including Damnation. You have no idea how crushed I am. That had my life on it.
2. What is the most important thing you have learned about writing that you would like to share with the other writers here? - m244robp
The most important thing that I have learned is just to go with your first initial idea. Keep going. Don't keep deleting and starting over because you don't think it sounds right. Just keep it going. You'll be surprised at how well it turns out even though you didn't think it would.
3. How would you react if you actually had a chance to meet Rob? (this is a Rob-related site, right?) - m244robp
Gosh. I am really in touch with reality and that will probably never ever happen but if it did, I'd be cool. And then I'd seduce him. 
Nah, I'd treat him as if he were a normal human being.
4. What made you like Robert? Do you write Robert different then every one else? and what is you favorite Robert story that you didn't write? - queens_of_pattinson
After watching Twilight a few times, that's when I started thinking, "Damn, he's hot." And then when I found out he was British, I was a goner! 
I think I write him different than most. I don't go by this interview or that interview and I definitely do not go by the influence his friends have on him or anything like that either. I write him the way I would think Rob to be in certain situations. And I don't think I can really choose a favorite but I'm sure it's one of yours, Summer. My twisted sister.

Last Words:
"Unless it is mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life. Love should not be one of them."
Is there anything else you would like to say or share with us? Though the drama here is sometimes unbearable and completely unnecessary, I really do enjoy being here and am very glad that I have met a couple girls that I have became great friends with!
