1. How did you get into fan fiction? Why Robert Pattinson fan fiction?
I got into fanfiction from reading about in my school newspaper in high school and it was part of the banned websites at school. I took a glimpse at the site the summer before college and I found Living in LA which lead me to finding Christine's Ready and Waiting to Fall and the next thing I knew, I started an account and wrote the first chapter of my first story on FF and on this site.
2. What made you decide to start writing fan fiction?
It's something that I would never thought of trying and I thought, 'why not give it a shot?' and I haven't stopped since.
3. What is your writing process? Do you have a specific place you like to write, music you listen to, etc.?
I usually write at nighttime in my room or in the afternoons before I go to work where my one or two cats would keep me company and cause some chaos around me. I would write out a chapter either on my laptop or on paper so I wouldn't forget. If I'm in the car and the radio is on, a song would come on and sometimes that song would be an inspiration for the chapter.
4. How much research goes into the stories? Time spent on the internet? Personal experience?
It depends on how the story is going. I like to rely on the current or past events as something to read up on in case I get anything mixed up. My time on the internet is usually a few hours before work and when I get out of school/work at night I would be on here until 1 or 2am trying to type something. I only used one personal expeirnce for my story once or twice for my stories.
5. What is the hardest/easiest part about writing?
The easiet part is thinking up story ideas which pop out of nowhere in my case. The hardest part is knowing which direction to go to once your done with a chapter. You may know what happens in the beginning and the end but you just need to fill in the blanks so it'll make sense.
6. Out of the stories you've written which is your favorite? Favorite character? Why?
Gosh, there's so many to choose. My favorite story would have to be Summer Love in the Air because I liked writing about what goes on when you mix a dance studio at a college and a movie set and the outcome would be(not that I have any experince in dance what so ever.) Out of my characters, my favorite would have to be Mel because she has the goal of going for her passion which is art and she's determined to do whatever hard work she has to do to get to her goal.
7. What do you think makes a good story?
Good Summary and Plot. It's something that can catch an eye of the reader or potinenal reader if they want to try out a book or story.
8. Is there any story (or book) you wish you could have written? Why?
I would say Water for Elephants because not only I've read the book twice but I like the plot and that it's something I could picture myself seeing what's going on in the book as well.
9. Do you have any writing tips?
Write because you love doing it. Even if you get none or little reviews, you should keep going because it's something that you worked hard on and hope to have people like it.
10. Who's your pick to be the next author interviewed? (This person will actually be it.)
Silversky
From readers:
1. 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 I learned is when you write, you have to take critiques whether it's good or bad. Even at first if it trying to sound mean, it will help you out in the long run for future stories.
2. How would you react if you actually had a chance to meet Rob? (this is a Rob-related site, right?) - m244robp
I would have two reactions. My first reaction is to try to be calm around him and treat him like any other person and my second reaction would be when I'm home alone and I would be jumping up and down, screaming "OMGOMGOMGOMG"
3. 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
I liked him when I first saw him in Goblet of Fire. I thought he was cute back then until he resurfaced for twilight and I did admit to having a crush on him. I try to base Rob as the good guy or in my Lost and Found by Love story, he's the bad guy. My favorite story is (so many choices to choose!) on here is currently the Getaway by Hfrankz because it's something that I would want to read more.
