Hello, Drabble Lovers!<br />
<br />
We have a big surprise for you all! This month we got one author that wanted to participate on the Drabble Wars. She was so excited to do this, that we just couldn't say no to her.<br />
<br />
These questions were submitted by members of the Drabble War Forum on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/drabble.wars/" target="_blank">facebook</a>. Thanks to everyone that submitted a question, we wish we could ask all of the questions you guys posted, but unfortunately we can't. Thank you for submitting.<br />
<br />
It's time to meet our <i>Lone Warrior, </i>so<i> </i>let's give it up for <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/3498345/cloemarrie" target="_blank"><b>Cloemarrie</b></a>!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Why did you decide to participate this month in the Drabble Wars? </span></b><br />
<div>
<i>I joined the drabble wars to branch out of my comfort zone and do something fun. Beside I LOVE challenges and drabbles, to me, are challenging AND being the Lone Warrior is so cool!!!! Hmmm...makes me think back to my childhood.</i> <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">What was the first thing you wrote and when? </span></b></div>
<div>
<i>When I was about eight years old I'd written a song titled "Rainbow" that's one thing I love to do the most is write songs...so emotional. I put my heart into writing and writing songs mainly is where most of my feelings go unless I want to kill off a character or make a character hurt. LMAO </i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Do you write for any other fandoms? </span></b></div>
<div>
<i>I haven't posted anything aside from Twilight but like I said before I'm branching out and have a couple of different stories going for another fandom. </i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>Have you been published? If not, is it something you would like to do? </b></span></div>
<div>
<i>I've never been published before, although I won a medal when I graduated eight grade for a fanfic I wrote, but I would love to be a published writer. I'm writing a book with a co author that I hope to publish one day. </i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>Can you tell us about your entry for the Drabble War? Title, pairing, are we going to need kleenex or fresh panties on hand? You know, the juicy stuff! </b></span></div>

It is with with a heavy heart that we announce that due to the decreased interest the Drabble Wars are sparking, we are putting them ON HOLD for a few months.</div>

<br />We only have one warrior for this month and we love you for it, <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2120357/Wants2BeACullen" target="_blank">Wants2BeACullen</a> since your story might be the last drabble to be posted here for some time.</div>

If we see renewed interest in the DW, we'll be here for you. The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/drabble.wars/files/" target="_blank">sign-up sheets</a> are up there for the whole year; but if we don't have at least 6 authors for each month, it won't launch. <br /><br />Nevertheless, we will still be accepting members in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/drabble.wars/" target="_blank">Facebook Group</a>, and if you have a question for any of us, you can reach us through the blog by commenting below, or tagging our names in a wall post on the group.<br /><br />All the stories can still be found at the <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/community/DRABBLE_WARS/97678/14/0/1/" target="_blank">DW Community</a> in Fanfiction.net and here on the blog. If for some reason one of the links here on the blog don't work, contact us immediately and Mina, who is the blog master, will fix it as soon as she can.<br /><br />SPREAD THE WORD about these amazing stories. If more people knew about them we could bring the DW back to its shining self.<br /><br />It has been our absolute pleasure hosting and writing and reading alongside so many talented people.</div>

Hello Drabble Lovers!<br />
<br />
As the month of May ends and June starts, several authors have asks us to give them a little visual help.<br />

These photos are a way to inspire the <span style="color: orange;">Summer Travels Prompt </span>for the <span style="color: orange;">2013 June Drabble Wars</span>. Authors aren't required to use them, they only serve as a mean to inspire the plot bunnies.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We look forward to reading what you drabble authors can come up with, and if you have any questions, hit us up with a comment below or visit us at the <span style="color: blue;">Drabble Wars Forum</span> on <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/drabble.wars/">Facebook</a></span>.</div>

That's right! We want to celebrate this great season and we want YOU to write about it!<br />
<br />
Road trips, backpacking, traveling, anything goes, just take your characters out of their hometown and have them explore the world! You can write about going to the beach, visiting new cities, visiting <i>your</i> hometown, climbing mountains, riding a train, getting on airplanes, anything goes... as long as you write about traveling during the summer.<br />
<br />
We cannot wait to read what you guys come up with. If you have any questions, drop us a comment below or visit the Drabble Wars Forum on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/drabble.wars/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Facebook</span></a>. Anna, Michaela and/or Mina will be more than happy to help.<br />
<br />
Now go and write! We will be keeping you all posted here on who takes on the challenge.<br />
<br />
Till next time,<br />

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I
can read any genre as long as there is small dose of romance in the story. I
have read from the scariest of thriller, to the most sappy romcom. I don't have
a preference at all. To write, like I said, romance is gonna be a fixure in
everything I write, haven't stretched out of the AH zone yet, but maybe in the
futere. We'll see...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

idea, really. I had been reading for a while and I just thought I'd give it a
shot, I was completely clueless and had no idea what the hell I was doing, but
it felt wonderful. The most I have written before was a children's book in
Spanish, so I guess you could say I started writing to practice and improve my
english.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

have read several fandoms, including crossovers. I have read Harry Potter,
Vampire Academy, Hunger Games, Twilight, and a few Code Geass
fanfiction. I have written for both Twilight and Vampire Academy so far,
but I'll see if I write in a different fandom soon... maybe Hunger Games. I
have no plans as of yet, I still haven't gotten bitten by a Hunger Games plot
bunny, but the idea is my head, mostly thanks to my friend Ro.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for me it's easier to write shorter chapters, but I tend to drag the story a
bit, which is not cool. I try my best and I hope this month's drabble will be

school and have a job, so I try to make the best of it on my free time, but
sometimes the mood isn't right, so I either re-read what I have written to get
into the mood or just make a banner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Thanks to Mina for answering all the questions. Don't forget to put her on alerts and be brave enough to try a different fandom with her drabble.<br />
<div>
<br />
Be sure to leave her some love in a review if you read her drabble... and remember the golden rule: <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.</span></b> These authors are providing FREE entertainment for you... appreciate it!<br />
<br />
Till next time,<br />

Thanks to Lost for answering all the questions. Don't forget to put her on alerts so you don't miss out on what it looks like is going to be a very funny drabble.<br />

<br />
Be sure to leave her some love in a review if you read her drabble... and remember the golden rule: <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.</span></b> These authors are providing FREE entertainment for you... appreciate it!<br />

What your favorite genre to read/write fanfiction?</span></span></b><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"> </span><br />
I will give anything a chance (almost) but I usually read Romance (or RomCom).
With writing I usually do more Drama with romance.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>2. What made you take that first 'step' and write fanfiction?</b> </span>
I always loved writing and as a young child would write out my thought of what
I thought should happen in shows and movies. Then I learned (once I was much
older) that I was writing FF and I learned about all the great people that love
to read it and thought what the heck why not.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>3. Are you a one fandom only author/reader? If you are, would you be willing
to read/write for another fandom? If you aren't, what other fandoms have you
read and/or wrote for?</b> </span><br />
I tend to stick with one fandom (Twilight) but have branched out to see what
else is out there. I haven’t written for any but I have read some (Harry
Potter, Once Upon a Time).<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>4. What is your writing process for drabbles? Does it differ from full
length fics?</b> </span>
I take the same approach for most of my stories. I come up with an idea
randomly and mostly like at inappropriate times lol. Then I try to get as far
as I can with the story and plot in my head before writing. Most of the time I
change the story about six times, by the time I’m done but oh well.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>5. Where do you take inspiration for your stories? Music lyrics? Movies?
Real life?</b> </span>
Everything. I can get an idea from a song then I’ll see a movie and that will
light fire to the idea then someone will say something and BAM story done in my
head. (Mostly.)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>6. How do you get into the mood for writing? Where do you write? (paper,
laptop, napkin, post it).</b> </span><br />
The mood strikes at any given time and I always carry paper and like a million
pens and pencils in my bag. I love to not only write but draw so I find it best
to always be ready when inspiration strikes.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>7. Is there anything that helps to get you into the characters mind to write
them?</b> </span>
Music. I put music on that fits the theme and mood of the story.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>8. How do you come up with the title for your story?</b> </span>
I like to have most of the idea thought out first then I will pick a name that
fits most of the story or at least the main point. Sometimes that’s the first
thing I think of and ill write a story about the title.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>9. If you could be a part of any of your stories which one would it be and
why?</b> </span>
I think a little of me is in all of my stories but if I had to choose just one.
Coffee Shop, I loved writing it and I still go back and read it. (must warn you
I should go back and fix things but I’m being lazy.)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>10. Do you have a beta? If you do, what do expect from them? If you don't,
why not? </b></span>
I don’t. I’ve had a hard time finding one I like. Most of the good ones are
busy and I hate bothering people.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">11. Tell us about your Drabble War Entry: Fandom, Title, Category, Pairing,
Summary. What is it about? What can we expect from it? (Please attach a link to
your banner or you can upload the banner here in the group) </span></b></span></div>

<br /></div>
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">1. What your favorite genre to read/write fanfiction?</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love to write romance and angst I think that when writing them it's more intense, and a lot realistic then any other genre. I love to read anything with a Darkward, Brokenward, or anything that "feels" real to me. I'm a very picky person when it comes to reading fanfiction it has to have a good plot and lemons in it, along with grammar, spelling, etc.</div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">2. What made you take that first 'step' and write fanfiction? </span></b><br />
<br />
After I read Twilight I all the sudden had a ideas for Bella and Edward what if she was this or what if this happened instead of this? I wrote over fifty pages in fanfiction alone, never posted any of it, instead I read fanfiction online and it went from there. After four years of reading I decided that I would finally attempt to write a fanfiction and that's how it happened. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">3. Are you a one fandom only author/reader? If you are, would you be willing to read/write for another fandom? If you aren't, what other fandoms have you read and/or wrote for?</span></b><br />
<br />
Nope, I've read pretty much anything I could get my hands on after I found out the FF.net didn't just have Maximum Ride on the site. I love to read Harry Potter slash, Lord of the rings, Maximum Ride, Hunger Games, True Blood, Twilight, X-Men, Percy Jackson, and Inuyasha.<br />
<br />
I tried to write a Snarry and Drarry fic once *laughs while blushing* let's just say it sucked and I'll just let the professionals to their work. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">4. What is your writing process for drabbles? Does it differ from full length fics? </span></b><br />
<br />
I have never, ever wrote a long length story always stuck with drabble style, it looks so crammed and sloppy when it looks full length it bugs the hell out of me. I normally write a thousand words or less then pick where I'll end it for a chapter and go from there. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">5. Where do you take inspiration for your stories? Music lyrics? Movies? Real life? </span></b><br />
<br />
Everything, music is mostly where I get my ideas for my stories take WFLID for example before it was an original story I listened to "We Found Love" for a whole week and decided to write a Bella and Edward pairing based on my experience and the song.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">6. How do you get into the mood for writing? Where do you write? (paper, laptop, napkin, post it)</span></b><br />
<br />
My mood for writing is any mood it just hits me and I let my hands/fingers do the writing for me I have no control over it. <br />
<br />
I normally start on paper then type it up but if I do that then it between the two something happens and the things I wrote on paper won't be typed it will be different. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">7. Is there any thing that helps to get you into the characters mind to write them?</span></b><br />
<br />
Not really sometimes they scream, cuss, and rant about how I NEED to put them into the stories , or I listen to the song that's based off the stories. Other then that no. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">8. How do you come up with the title for your story? </span></b><br />
<br />
I mix albums, songs, and band names together or randomly pick a word and combine them together.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">9. If you could be a part of any of your stories which one would it be and why?</span></b><br />
<br />
I would love to become Bella from my story <i><a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9233445/1/The-Dark-Side-of-Love" target="_blank">The Dark Side of Love</a></i>, she's trying to figure out what the "Game" is and also struggling to find herself in the process and that's what I'm doing for myself at the moment, plus I would love to have a Darkward any day in my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">10. Do you have a beta? If you do, what do expect from them? If you don't, why not? </span></b><br />
<br />
No I currently do not have a Beta, if I did have one I would expect them to take the time and get to know me as a reader and writer instead of just here you go edit and give back person, I hate that some people do that to their Beta's it makes me think what if you were treated like that, I bet you would like it. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">11. Tell us about your Drabble War Entry: Fandom, Title, Category, Pairing, Summary. What is it about? What can we expect from it?</span></b><br />

<i>What can you expect from it?</i> Well you will need a tissue and some moment's you will be cheering other times you will want to kill a person or two. It is very angsty, dark, and the ending will make you wonder why. </div>

<br />
I have participated it last year in May and loved it, I met amazing people and gained a lot of information about writing a drabble. <br />
<br />
Yes I will be doing it again every month it just depends on RL and if the evil plot bunnies are plotting.<br />

Thanks to Misfit for answering all the questions. Don't forget to put her on alerts and better start stocking up on tissues, seems like you are gonna need them.<br />
<div>
<br />
Be sure to leave her some love in a review if you read her drabble... and remember the golden rule: <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.</span></b> These authors are providing FREE entertainment for you... appreciate it!<br />

<br />
<b><i>1. How did you discovered fanfiction? What was the fist ff you ever read? </i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;">Mona: Oh man, how I came to be here? A girl I know was like you must read Twilight, I did, loved it. Read them all and then was like, it's not enough. I found this fic called, <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5058215/1/Last-Love-Found" target="_blank">Last Love Found</a> by Oracle. There were many other fics, but this one got me hooked. I love it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><b>Krazi: </b>I discovered fanfiction from my friends on twitter... Umm... <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4810274/1/" target="_blank">I'll Be Your Lover Too</a> by EdwardsBloodType. She's the one who started it all for me. Then TaraSueMe sealed the deal. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>2. What made you take that first 'step' and write fanfiction? </i></b><br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>Mona: </b>My ideas, are one of a kind, odd and weird. I showed a few 'friends' what I had, they of course loved it. But, my grammar stinks. -shrugs-</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><b>Krazi: </b>I was obsessed with Twilight, and I was reading a story that I was reading ended and left me wanting more, so I decided if I wanted more, I should write it myself. Lol.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>3. How long have you been part of the fandom? If you have been part of this for awhile how do you feel about the changes? </i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>Mona:</b> I've been around since the beginning of 09 and it's been amazing. I don't feed into the drama and never have gotten into the politics/popular crowd. Fly low and you squeak by.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><b>Krazi: </b>I've been a part of the fandom for three years now. Changes... let me just say that I've been lucky in that none of my stories have ever been pulled, but we're all adults here... if you don't like it don't read it, or fix it where underaged readers can't get in.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span><b><i>4. How is the writing process different for full length vs. drabble?</i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>Mona: </b>I hardly ever write a full length, I have ADD. I forget halfway thru what I'm writing. NEVER will I attempt that. -shakes head and runs-</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><b>Krazi: </b>For me it's harder to write drabbles than full-length fics. One would think that writing shorter chapters would be easier, but for me... it's not.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>5. How hard is it not to write more that the expected word count in a chapter for a Drabble? </i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>Mona:</b> Not too bad, I am good at keeping it short and sweet. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><b>Krazi: </b>Extremely! I'm so into giving detail normally, and with drabbles you can just skip all that and get to the point, but, sadly, I don't always do it.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>6. Do you write off the cuff, or are your stories outlined and well thought out? </i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>Mona:</b> Cuff, always the cuff. I'm crazy like that.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><b>Krazi: </b>I'm definitely off the cuff! It's a terrible habit that I am trying to break, but I find it difficult to write an outline and stick to it. Lol.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>7. What is your source for inspiration when writing a story? Music lyrics? Movies? Real life? </i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>Mona: </b>It's usually just seeing, hearing things that get me into the mood. like hearing a song and seeing my characters come alive with it. Or seeing a image that just clicks.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><b>Krazi: </b>Anything and everything... Sometimes it may be a movie or a song, or maybe just a story that I've already read, and want to see the characters go in a different direction without discrediting the original authors POV or choices.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>8. Where do you get your inspiration when writing a lemon? And which point of view [guy vs. girl] do you prefer to write them in?</i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>Mona: </b>-shifty- I don't write lemons. -hears boos and backs away- I'm horrible at the sexy parts. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><b>Krazi: </b>I am a lemon whore, and I love to make them as juicy as possible, sue me! Lol! I write them in whoever has the mic at the time. I'm afraid I'll suck at third person pov, but I do want to try it in the future.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>9. If you could be a part of any of your stories which one would it be and why? </i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>Mona: </b>I have so many in the works or published on FF, but it would have to be a sci-fi one, love the unknown and crazy. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><b>Krazi: </b>Well, I would have to say, my story Cockiness, which unfortunately has not been uploaded yet. And I would take on the role of Bella... be on the look out! It's coming soon!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>10. What writer (FF or OF) do you look up to? And what would you ask them if you met them? </i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>Mona: </b>Ugh, this one is like horrible. I don't want to meet many of people, never even thought of it. I know how rude of me, but it's the truth. Why be fake and name someone and know it will never happen? I have girls I'd love to meet if the opportunity arose, and they know who they are. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><b>Krazi: </b>Umm... that's a tough one! I have too many to choose just one! Lol.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>11. Tell us about your Drabble War Entry... What inspired you to write it?</i></b><br />

Hello again Drabble Lovers!<br />
<br />
It is almost time for the next war to begin and we are pretty excited about this month's participants We have quite the variety in stories and we hope you all enjoy them.<br />
<br />
These questions were submitted by members of the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/drabble.wars/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Drabble War Forum</span></a> on facebook. Thanks to: Leigh, Samantha, Christina, Loopy, Kris, Ana and Audrey for submitting. We wish we could ask all of the questions you guys posted, but unfortunately we can't. Thank you for participating and I hope you come back with more questions for the next month's drabble.<br />
<br />
Today we have another new warrior, it's her first time in this battle of the words, so let's give up for... <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1938037/hismysticmuse" target="_blank">Hismysticmuse</a>!<br />

<b><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">1. How did you discover fanfiction? What was the first ff you ever read? </span></b><br />
<div>
I discovered Fanfiction in 2009 after one of my friends urged me to read The Red Line, but she had altered it by putting it in a word program and changed the names and certain scenes that she didn't like (LOL) so I didn't really know it was fanfiction until much later. The first real FF I read was Wide Awake<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">2. What made you take that first 'step' and write fanfiction? </span></b></div>
<div>
After I read Twilight, I really got into writing. I wrote an 80k word rambling Sci Fi story but was too nervous to take the next step in publishing, so I started writing small one-shots and such to try things out.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">3. How long have you been part of the fandom? If you have been part of this for a while, how do you feel about the changes? </span></b></div>
<div>
I've been part of the Fandom since 2009... I think there's good and bad about the fandom but I have met some AMAZING people in the fandom and in RL so I have had a positive experience.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">4. How is the writing process different for full length vs. drabble? </span></b></div>
<div>
I've never written a drabble fic, but I find it easier. More opportunity to fade to black rather than creating filler. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">5. How hard is it not to write more that the expected word count in a chapter for a Drabble?</span></b></div>
<div>
HARD! I like to write so I often just go on and on and delete later! :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">6. Do you write off the cuff, or are your stories outlined and well thought out? </span></b></div>
<div>
I like to write off the cuff with a general idea of where I want to go with it. My stories are usually 3rd person so I don't have to deal with multiple POV's.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">7. What is your source for inspiration when writing a story? Music lyrics?Movies? Real life? </span></b></div>
<div>
Most of my stories start with a prompt. They are never (hopefully) the usual romance. There's usually something mysterious/supernatural/ mythological in my stories.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">8. Where do you get your inspiration when writing a lemon? And which point of view [guy vs. girl] do you prefer to write them in? </span></b></div>
<div>
I usually find inspiration off the web on various sites.. heh heh… and writing them in 3rd person. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">9. If you could be a part of any of your stories which one would it be and why? </span></b></div>
<div>
Ooh… I would want to be Bella from <i><a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6806261/1/It-s-all-Greek-to-me" target="_blank">It’s All Greek To Me</a></i> since she gets her Adonis and gets to live in Mt.Olympus.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #d0e0e3;"><b>10. What writer (FF or OF) do you look up to? And what would you ask them if you met them?</b></span></div>
<div>
Hmm.. Good Question.. <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2280945/texasbella" target="_blank">TexasBella</a> and <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1795233/Breath-of-twilight" target="_blank">BreathofTwilight</a> are two of my favorites for lemony fun… I would ask which scenario they would be a part of in their own stories..</div>
<div>
<br />

Edward is forced into working the faire with his brothers, when he keeps seeing a petite woman around the faire, his attention is peaked. He begins a quest to woo the allusive fair maiden! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was inspired by a recent trip the AZ renaissance festival made me think it would be fun to work it, as I had heard they roam the country and have a blast during and after hours. I thought it would be a fun story to read/write.<br />
<br />

Today we have two warriors for the price of one, and it's their first time in this battle of the words, so let's give up for the lovely Kasi and Nikky, known as <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/3340409/WeeKittyAndTAT" target="_blank">WeeKittyAndTAT</a>!<br />

<span style="color: #ffe599;"><b>1. How did you discovered fanfiction? What was the fist ff you ever read?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Kasi:</span> found fan fiction from the friend who introduced her to the Twilight Saga and first fan fic I read was Wide Awake.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Nikky:</span> I stumble upon it by accident when I was searching for Twilight stuff. The first fan fiction stories I read was Wide Awake and My Sisters 3.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #ffe599;">2. What made you take that first 'step' and write fanfiction? </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Kasi: </span>ButterflyBetty and Jess2002 Both telling me to give it a try that I could do it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Nikky:</span> I wanted to give writing a shot, so I started writing A Year Of Hell and was ready to throw in the towel and give up by the second or thrid chapter, something made me contact Kasi and ask her for pointers and help, from there I found the ability to tell a story and someone to help me find the flow I needed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #ffe599;">3. How long have you been part of the fandom? If you have been part of this for awhile how do you feel about the changes? </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Kasi: </span>3 years, and the changes have been big in some cases anyway. I think the growth has been OUTSTANDING, however some of the hatred is unsettling.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Nikky:</span> almost 3 years, too. Some of the changes are good, some not so good. I think the writers need to have a bigger voice and not have such a small percent of people trash them down. Writing is a form of expression and sometimes a small percent can hold you back.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><b>4. How is the writing process different for full length vs. drabble? </b></span><br />
The writing process that Nikky and I (Kasi) use together is not much different at all. We talk over ideas and Nikky writes things out how she sees it and I go through it re-write, tweak and move stuff around. In a drabble we write it out as one big one shot first and then go in and split the chapters. I guess it is not the typical drabble fic in that case but we have enjoyed the 2 we have written.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #ffe599;">5. How hard is it not to write more that the expected word count in a chapter for a Drabble? </span></b><br />
When we get down to splitting things it is sometime difficult--especially for me (Kasi)--I tend to be wordy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><b>6. Do you write off the cuff, or are your stories outlined and well thought out? </b></span><br />
I would say that with every story we have written together that in most cases we are off the cuff writers.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><b>7. What is your source for inspiration when writing a story? Music lyrics? Movies? Real life? </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Kasi:</span> Imagination and a little of all of the above.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Nikky:</span> The same as Kasi really, but I would say once I get a plot idea in my head I run through it a few times and then go to Kasi and we skype it out and from there we sort of build together.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #ffe599;">8. Where do you get your inspiration when writing a lemon? And which point of view [guy vs. girl] do you prefer to write them in? </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Kasi:</span> I write 90% of our lemons in every story, and I would say when I write a lemon it is a little life experience fantasy, other books and fics I have read and a good healthy libido. As for what POV i prefer to write in it depends upon what story I am working on, however for some reason I have always been able to channel Edward's POV easier when writing anything.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><b>9. If you could be a part of any of your stories which one would it be and why? </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Kasi:</span> I think I would have to say <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7734130/1/His-Cimmerian-View" target="_blank">His Cimmerian View</a> and I see myself more of the Zafrina character.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Nikky:</span> <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8939069/1/Diamond-Doll-s-Kitty-Cave" target="_blank">Diamond Doll's Kitty Cave</a>, and Bella because I love her sassiness and how she is so out going, shoots from the hip, isn't afraid to say exactly what is on her mind.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #ffe599;">10. What writer (FF or OF) do you look up to? And what would you ask them if you met them? </span></b><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Kasi: </span>My favorite author has pretty much always been <a href="http://jackiecollins.com/" target="_blank">Jackie Collins</a>, and I think I would want to know how much of her stories about Hollywood are based off of stuff she has witnessed herself. As for fan fiction there are so very many talented writers and the list of my favorites is so long it would take days to read the list.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Nikky: </span>There are a lot of authors I look up to, both on and off FFN. <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2240867/TeamAllTwilight" target="_blank">Kasi </a>would be at the top of the list but that is more because I work well with her and I know that she would tell me the ugly truth about stuff if need be. Writing alone is great and works well for many people, but the truth is when you find yourself writing with someone and the stories always seem to write themselves you really have a good thing going. Working together for us is as easy as breathing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #ffe599;">11. Tell us about your Drabble War Entry: Fandom, Pairing, Title, Summary. What inspired you to write it?</span></b><br />

This story was completely Nikky's baby and she asked me if I was willing to work on with her and I agreed because well I love writing with Nikky.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: #ffe599;">12. Have you participated in a DW before? If you have, what have you gained from the experience? And if you haven't, will you do it again after this one? </span></b><br />
No we haven't and we have so many projects on the line right now it is hard to say if we will do another one anytime soon.<br />

Hello again Drabble Lovers!<br />
<br />
We are five days away for the next war to begin and we are pretty excited about this month's paticipants. We have quote the variety in stories and we hope you all enjoy them.<br />
<br />
These questions were submitted by member of the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/drabble.wars/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Drabble War Forum</span></a> on facebook. Thanks to: Leigh, Samantha, Christina, Loopy, Kris, Ana and Audrey for submitting a question, we wish we could ask all of the questions you guys posted, but unfortunately we can't. Thank you for submitting and I hope you come back with more questions for the next month's drabble.<br />
<br />
So, let's start and meet our first warrior, who has participated before and is returning for another battle of the words... <a href="http://whitewolflegend.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">WhiteWolfLegend</a>!<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a><b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">1. How did you discovered fanfiction? What was the fist ff you ever read?</span></b><br />
Uh, I think It was completely by accident I’m not too sure on how I came about it but have been writing since 09 and reading since 08… My first read was Isabella Ice Angel by midnight chaser, an Edward/Bella fic.<br />
<div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">2. What made you take that first 'step' and write fanfiction?</span></b><br />
My friend came up with the Sam/Bella story I had and well I liked it and decided to write it considering it was right up my alley.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">3. How long have you been part of the fandom? If you have been part of this for awhile how do you feel about the changes?</span></b><br />
Since 09’, there have been plenty of changes, rises and falls of the twilight world…I don’t know how to feel about it really, I’ve been through two purges that I know of and so much more that honestly has made me lose a little interest in it all.But I love to write and I stick by it.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">4. How is the writing process different for full length vs. drabble?</span></b><br />
Writing process for me is not much different, I just open a document and write… its all Point A to Point B.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">5. How hard is it not to write more than the expected word count in a chapter fora Drabble?</span></b><br />
Not very hard, I struggle to get more than 1500 words and same goes for Drabbles, I guess sticking to a writing word limit for me is the struggle.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">6. Do you write off the cuff, or are your stories outlined and well thought out?</span></b><br />
As stated in 4, I just open the document and write whatever comes out of my fingers..<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">7. What is your source for inspiration when writing a story? Music lyrics? Movies?Real life?</span></b><br />
Everything, but normally I try not to listen or watch TV because it spurs plot bunnies… vicious little fuckers.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">8.Where do you get your inspiration when writing a lemon? And which point of view [guy vs. girl] do you prefer to write them in?</span></b><br />
Fuck… I don’t do lemons, I suck at it… But the lemons I have written they are in 3rd POV, I just find it easier because you can do both POV’s at the same time.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">9.If you could be a part of any of your stories which one would it be and why?</span></b><br />
Ohhhhh, maybe <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8402897/1/Unseen-Events" target="_blank">Unseen Events</a> or any of the <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8863826/1/Unyielding-Love" target="_blank">Unyielding Series</a>, I can’t give you any reason bar the fact that Nahuel is sexy and Caius (my Caius is <a href="http://skyethelimit.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/alexander_skarsgard09.jpg" target="_blank">Alexander Skarsgård</a>) is so sinful that I envy Bella… haha<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">10.What writer (FF or OF) do you look up to? And what would you ask them if you met them?</span></b><br />
Hmm,FF would be <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2315965/mama4dukes" target="_blank">Mama4Dukes</a> and <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2136357/Speklez" target="_blank">Speklez</a>… I’ve spoken to them both but yes so I willgive you my reasons why…. Mama4 because she writes kick ass Jasper and Peter stories AND PAUL cant forget him that I just love to read over and over again and Speklez because of her dark and wicked mind, all the unique random things, her wordings, plots and so on so forth…<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Summary:</span></b> Her whole life she was alone, never knowing truly about what she was.. Now as she finds herself in forks with the Cullens, with vampires know who and what she is. Can she find her mate on her journey for peace and the vengeance for her supposed fathers death? What if she - a siren - found love with a Succubus?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I had read the mere Tanya/Bella fics and decided I wanted to write my own but I didn't and can't write a full story on it… Sirens had been on the brain for quite sometime since I read Mama4’s Peter/Bella and wondered what would happen if I paired a Siren and a Succubus together.<br />

<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">12.Have you participated in a DW before? If you have, what have you gained from the experience? And if you haven't, will you do it again after this one?</span></b><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<b><i><span style="color: #d9ead3;">1. Tell us a bit about yourself. How old are you? Are you married or single? Have any children? Does your family know about your writing?</span></i></b><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm a teenager... never too early, never too late ;) (HA! THAT'S ALL I'M GIVING YOU!) I'm about to graduate HS this March and take up AB Psychology in June (THANK FUCK!). Am I married or single? I sure as hell am not married but I'm not so single, either ;) :P My family knows about my writing, and they support me (that's a good sign, right?) and actually even tells me to make some money out of writing and beta'ing. I hope to God they're not checking FFn, though, 'cause they also know my penname, but I let my sister read some of my shit SOMETIMES.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i><span style="color: #d9ead3;">2. How did you discover fanfiction? What was the first ff you ever read? </span></i></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Interesting question you got there. I actually discovered fanfiction because of my sister. My YOUNGER sister -_- It was T-rated, and, well, I didn't know shit about M-fics and the FFn site--because it was kinda a blog site that my sister found--so it was cool at first. We had something to bond about. The fic was entitled The Untitled Continuation of the Twilight Saga (I think xD). And THEN I found the M-fics--that's only months after my sister introduced me to fanfiction.net). I think it was Alphabet Weekends that was the first M-rated story I've ever read, so I was introduced with a bang (pun intended? lol). And let me tell you, when I catch her reading Lolo84's stories, I'm fast to be like "Oh, hell no! You're not reading that shit. That's M!" LMAO Don't get me wrong-Lolo84 is a great writer with a VIVID narrative. You guys understand my point, right? I cannot let my BABY sister (at least when I catch her) read stories with porn (even though she keeps telling me she skips those parts... but I know her. We came out of the same womb. She's also only a couple years younger and a is now a pre-teen, and it's only too soon when she begins to be curious...about stuff. I may be the one to talk to her about the "sinking of the Titanic", if you know what I mean. *shudders*) Okaaaaay! Moving on!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i><span style="color: #d9ead3;">3. What is your source of inspiration when writing a story? Music lyrics? Movies? Real life?</span></i></b><br /></div>
<div>
I get my inspiration everywhere. Sometimes I add a few personal experiences (despite the the fact that it is futile), sometimes I make playlists for a story, sometimes when I watch movies and a plot (a far lot different from the plot of the movie, mind you). I'm young, wild, and free, and loving it...while it lasts, and I use them to the best of my ability.<br /><br /></div>
<div>
<b><i><span style="color: #d9ead3;">4. How do you choose which characters to use in your story especially if it is for OOC (out of character) situation? </span></i></b><br /></div>
<div>
Oh, that's an easy and difficult feat at the same time. When creativity strikes, I see almost the full movie of the story in my head. I think of which character says it better, acts it better, and if he or she (or sometimes they) should do that. I get stuck sometimes, though, because I stop writing about it for a few months and my plan is shaken up a bit, but it's good 'cause it still sound three-quarters funny in my head. HA!<br /><br /></div>
<div>
<b><i><span style="color: #d9ead3;">5. Have you ever written a story knowing where you want to go with it but not able to get there because the characters went in a different direction? If so, does that change how you feel about the story? Are you mad about the change or happy or indifferent? </span></i></b><br /><br />Like what I've said earlier, I see the whole shizz when I try to make an overall look at the plot in the story, so when I write the thing down, I try to make it a point to still be able to put my original plan no matter how bent the direction became. It kinda confuses meand terrifies me at some point because when it changes it direction, I think, "How the hell did that happen?" or "How on earth will this story end?" or "Uh oh. Shit just got real."<br /><br /><br /><b><i><span style="color: #d9ead3;">6. When you write a lemon, what POV (first/third and guy/girl) is better to write for you and why? </span></i></b></div>
<div>
Definitely first person POV. It's very draining for me to write third person 'cause when I write that kind of narration, I attempt to show both their sides and it's exhausting. As for the girl or guy choice, I take a look at it by how the story is flowing and who would say it better. I do get a bit awkward reading girl POV lemon, though. I mean, seriously, the girl tends to narrate more about what she feels and it's weird for me to read her saying the guy/girl is doing stuff to her. Just sayin'.<br /><br /></div>
<div>
<b><i><span style="color: #d9ead3;">7. What is your favorite genre/category to write in and why?</span></i></b><br /></div>
<div>
Good question. I tend to lean more on the lighter/darker side of humor and romance. Honestly, my story is multi-genre'd. It's mostly rom-com-drama-angst-family kinda thing. I'm crazy, I know ;)<br /><br /></div>
<div>
<b><i><span style="color: #d9ead3;">8. What is your favorite pairing to read? Got any drabbles with that pairing you can recommend? </span></i></b><br /></div>
<div>
Oh, I'm so E/B shipper. I like reading R/Em sometimes, too. I think authors should make more A/J stories, though, with a more dramatic note. LOL Hmm... recommendations? I don't read a bunch of drabbles, actually. But I like <a href="https://www.google.com.ec/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fanfiction.net%2Fu%2F3122214%2FLolo84&ei=Do4eUY6vDZOO9ASbu4GgDQ&usg=AFQjCNGfeTmbk_rKKaoAzync2jfYwxmC0Q&sig2=94jmxmp0Q9uqU-kb50Taww&bvm=bv.42553238,d.eWU" target="_blank">Lolo84</a>'s drabbles, some <a href="http://caranofiction.wordpress.com/pdfs/" target="_blank">CaraNo</a> is good for the health, too (Laughter-and porn, haha, I guess-is the best medicine)... I honestly, don't know. I'm sure all the <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/community/DRABBLE-WARS/97678/" target="_blank">DW drabbles</a> are great in every other aspects of twific literature, so... *shrugs* ;)<br /><br /></div>
<div>

<div>
<br />Ooooh! Can't tell you my drabble entry *zips lips*. I'm kinda celebrating my first year of being in the Twific Author Universe so it will rock y'all with a bang! I can assure you, btw, that it's Twilight, E/B, and a sorta darker or different turn on <i><a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7890640/1/And-With-Luck-Comes-A-Kiss" target="_blank">And With Luck Comes A Kiss</a></i>, my first drabble. *insert happy dance* <br /><br /><b><i><span style="color: #d9ead3;">10. Have you participated in a DW before? If you have, what have you gained from the experience? And if you haven't, will you do it again after this one?</span></i></b></div>
<div>
Like I said earlier, my first drabble is And With Luck Comes A Kiss, written for the 2012 DW February Prompt Challenge "LUCKY". Since then, I've been actively writing drabbles and one-shots, pre-reading and editing stories, and drafting full-length stories :D I know, I know. I grew a lot in that matter of months. I discovered my passion which is writing and reading, and I now understand the author's side on things. It's really the best of both worlds for me-writer/author and/or twific universe/RL. </div>

<br /></div>
<i><b><span style="color: #fce5cd;"> 1. Tell us a bit about yourself. How old are you? Are you married or single? Have any children? Does your family know about your writing?</span></b></i><br />
—I’m in my late twenties … Single, bilingual, and ready to mingle! Watch out now! ;-) and yes, my family knows about my writing!! They also know never to read it because I need to be able to face them afterward.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #fce5cd;">2. How did you discover fanficiton? What was the first ff you ever read? </span></i></b> <br />
—I discovered Fanfiction Summer of ’11 when I was looking for an extended version of Midnight Sun. For the first couple of months, I only browsed here and there through the C2’s and completed T fics. (I didn’t understand the rating thing) … So, though I can’t say I remember the first story I read—other than the Midnight Sun’s, and the other’s in EPOV—I think Red Line/Coloring Outside the Lines was one of the first M rated one’s … There wasn’t much turning back after that point.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #fce5cd;">3. What is your source for inspiration when writing a story? Music lyrics? Movies? Real life? </span></i></b> <br />
—Anything and everything, really. Real life plays a big part in a lot of my stories. In every single one, I can pin point at least one thing I drew from a personal experience. But, yeah—music, movies, other stories … they’ve all dropped plot bunnies in my head.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #fce5cd;">4. How do you choose which characters to use in your story especially if it is for OOC (out of character) situation? </span></i></b><br />
<br />
—I don’t really pick and choose, to be honest. At least not that I can think of. The usual suspects always find a way in there somehow, they’re just normally OOC because I take sick pleasure in messing with them. A cheating Esme who lied to Edward about who his dad really is? Coming right up! Haha<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #fce5cd;">5. Have you ever written a story knowing where you want to go with it but not able to get there because the characters went in a different direction? If so, does that change how you feel about the story? Are you mad about the change or happy or indifferent? </span></i></b><br />
<br />
—For the most part, I can say my stories—the end result— always end up where I want them to. The “how” is always a surprise to me, though. LOL. Like, I’ll think my characters are going to do it one way, and then by the time a chapter, or story is over—I read back and think, “Well, that was unnecessary, you really should have just listened to me.” And yes, I do have talks/arguments with my characters when they’re being stubborn.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="color: #fce5cd;">6. When you write a lemon, what POV (first/third and guy/girl) is better to write for you and why? </span></b></i><br />
—It depends whose mind set I need to get into, and why. For example: I’ll probably never try and conquer writing a lemon scene from a Brokenella’s point of view—my psyche wouldn’t be able to handle that. At the same time, I always get a little performance anxiety when I write from a guy’s POV, even though I find those more fun to write. And for now, I’ve only written in First person.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="color: #fce5cd;">7. What is your favorite genre/category to write in and why? </span></b></i> <br />
—Even though it’s hard for me to read Angst (I try and avoid it at all cost) It’s probably what I like to write the most. One, it challenges me to dig deep. Two, it’s some damn good therapy and outlet when I need a good cry.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #fce5cd;">8. What is your favorite pairing to read? Got any drabbles with that pairing you can recommend? (the drabble doesn't have to be a DW entry)</span></i></b><br />
<br />
—Edward/Bella is my favorite pairing. Honestly, there’s just too many to pick just a few ;-)<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"><b><i>9. Tell us about your Drabble War Entry: Fandom, Pairing, Title, Summary, What inspired you to write it. (Please attach a link to your banner or you can upload the banner here in the group)</i></b></span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><b>Summary: </b></span>It was a silly social experiment for her Psych class . . . Bella never thought it would amount to more. “Hey—what numbers did you get assigned?” She looked down at her paper. “Umm . . . 5 and 9.” Leaning over, her and her best friend examined what that meant. “Oh, well sit down with a total stranger and ask someone for a hug. That shouldn't be too bad right?” Humor/Romance.</div>
<div>
<br />
—The inspiration behind my drabble is actually funny (to me) … Basically, it came from a flame of all places. A troll asked me if one of my stories was part of a psych project to see what crazy stuff I can come up with. I literally, laughed out loud and the next thing I know I’m thinking back on the Psych projects we did in school, and looking up social experiments they do now. Basically, Edward and Bella meet when Bella has to approach him for her project assignment and that's how it all starts.</div>

Hello Drabble War Lovers! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mina once more, broadcasting from my boring and dull home *sighs* and bringing you the next interview for this month's Drabble Wars. All the questions were submitted by members of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/drabble.wars/" target="_blank">Drabble Wars Forum</a> on facebook, so if you have a question you would like to ask the authors, come on to the group and let us know! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, let's meet the fourth warrior for this battle of the words... <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2115465/WhiteWolfLegend"><b>WhiteWolfLegend</b></a>!<br />
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMQUW4Ryziq9fAOG1Q48U_sV1U8LVEnQwmtIAoNqvA1HuDq4pOFGwZlJc5elZsAlPAukCn62j8ORJMngnbAgsvnIAp56CYVOMuMQLOGSSGwpo2b2kgM7MI7cRxl-cXTyIPJgZ5zfSppYGQ/s1600/separator.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="12" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMQUW4Ryziq9fAOG1Q48U_sV1U8LVEnQwmtIAoNqvA1HuDq4pOFGwZlJc5elZsAlPAukCn62j8ORJMngnbAgsvnIAp56CYVOMuMQLOGSSGwpo2b2kgM7MI7cRxl-cXTyIPJgZ5zfSppYGQ/s200/separator.png" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><i><span style="color: #d9d2e9;">1. Tell us a bit about yourself. How old are you? Are you married or single? Have any children? Does your family know about your writing?</span></i></b><br />
<div>
I am 25 this year come April, I am single, no children unless you include my family who pretty much act like damn children… and no, they think I am a hermit.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #d9d2e9;">2. How did you discovered fanfiction? What was the fist ff you ever read?</span></i></b><br />
Uh, I think It was completely by accident I’m not too sure on how I came about it but have been writing since 09 and reading since 08… My first read was<a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4786862/1/Isabella-Ice-Angel" target="_blank"> Isabella Ice Angel by midnight chaser</a>, an Edward/Bella fic.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #d9d2e9;">3. What is your source for inspiration when writing a story? Music lyrics? Movies? Real life?</span></i></b><br />
Everything, but normally I try not to listen or watch TV because it spurs plot bunnies… vicious little fuckers.<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="color: #d9d2e9;">4. How do you choose which characters to use in your story especially if it is for OOC (out of character) situation?</span></b></i><br />
Hard question, I don’t know… I’m a non-canon lover but I just write and how they turn out they turn out.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #d9d2e9;">5. Have you ever written a story knowing where you want to go with it but not able to get there because the characters went in a different direction? If so, does that change how you feel about the story? Are you mad about the change or happy or indifferent? </span></i></b><br />
Uh, I have planned a story… Human Elemental was planned, then half way through it the personalities changed ever so slightly and the plot changed a lot… I have now never planned fully to an extent I did with HE… I just give it Point A and Point B, the connection to that is free reign.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #d9d2e9;">6. When you write a lemon, what POV (first/third and guy/girl) is better to write for you and why?</span></i></b><br />
Fuck… I don’t do lemons, I suck at it… But the lemons I have written they are in 3rd POV, I just find it easier because you can do both POV’s at the same time.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #d9d2e9;">7. What is your favorite genre/category to write in and why?</span></i></b><br />
Uh, my fics have become darker and darker, I can’t really choose one.<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="color: #d9d2e9;">8. What is your favorite pairing to read? Got any drabbles with that pairing you can recommend? (the drabble doesn't have to be a DW entry)</span></b></i><br />
I read multi fandoms and crossovers; I can’t honestly list them all. Not much drabbles are with the pairings I choose though. You can check out my favorites on my ff profile <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2115465/WhiteWolfLegend" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #ffe599;">Summary:</span></b> Silence leads to pain but denial leads to so much worse. When you see the one you love dying inside right before your eyes, what will you do? Continue to keep your secrets or let them know they are not alone?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
What inspired me? <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1754390/MistroStrings" target="_blank">MistroStrings</a> and her story <u><b><a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5649655/1/Kisses-of-Ten" target="_blank">Kisses of Ten</a></b></u> and the following three sequels/continuations of it I have fallen in love with Sherlock Holmes… After that I was hooked and then I began to read John and Watson slash fics and yeah….<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #d9d2e9;">10. Have you participated in a DW before? If you have, what have you gained from the experience? And if you haven't, will you do it again after this one?</span></i></b><br />

<div>
<i><b><span style="color: #ead1dc;">1. Tell us a bit about yourself. How old are you? Are you married or single? Have any children? Does your family know about your writing?</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<div>
I am 38 this Monday, Feb 11th! (Happy Bday Taylor Lautner!), I am in a relationship, no biological children, unless you count my god-son who I've raised from birth… and yes, they know I write, no they don't know I write smut! Lol.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #ead1dc;">2. How did you discovered fanfiction? What was the first ff you ever read?</span></i></b><br />
<br />
<div>
I discovered fanfiction from my friends on twitter... Umm... <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4810274/1/" target="_blank"><b>I'll Be Your Lover Too</b> by <i>EdwardsBloodType</i></a>... She's the one who started it all for me. Then <a href="http://twilighted.net/viewuser.php?uid=10684" target="_blank">TaraSueMe</a> sealed the deal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><b><i>3. What is your source for inspiration when writing a story? Music lyrics? Movies? Real life?</i></b></span><br />
<br />
Anything and everything... Sometimes it may be a movie or a song, or maybe just a story that I've already read, and want to see the characters go in a different direction without discrediting the original authors POV or choices.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i><span style="color: #ead1dc;">4. How do you choose which characters to use in your story especially if it is for OOC (out of character) situation?</span></i></b><br />
<br />
That's a tough one, I rarely right truely OOC stories, and if I do, I never mess with the E&B combo, they are my true inspiration and I stick with them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #ead1dc;">5. Have you ever written a story knowing where you want to go with it but not able to get there because the characters went in a different direction? If so, does that change how you feel about the story? Are you mad about the change or happy or indifferent? </span></i></b><br />
<br />
Yes, I have, and the only thing that pisses me off is when the characters throw me a curve ball, but don't give me a heads up. For instance, I have a drabble, well that's what the hell it started out as, That's What Little Girls Are Made Of..., and not only have they completely taken over, but it's not even a true drabble anymore! Shit's happening that I had no clue about, but hey what the hell can I do, but just roll with it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #ead1dc;">6. When you write a lemon, what POV (first/third and guy/girl) is better to write for you and why?</span></i></b><br />
<br />
I am a lemon whore, and I love to make them as juicy as possible, sue me! Lol! I write them in whoever has the mic at the time. I'm afraid I'll suck at third person pov, but I do want to try it in the future.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #ead1dc;">7. What is your favorite genre/category to write in and why?</span></i></b><br />
<br />
Hurt/love and is there a xxx-rated category? Lol, friendship, family... all that goey stuff is what I love, because no matter what, E & B have to get their HEA, and of course, you couldn't even consider having Em if there wasn't a bit of comedy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #ead1dc;">8. What is your favorite pairing to read? Got any drabbles with that pairing you can recommend?</span></i></b><br />
<br />
My favorite pairing is Edward/Bella hands down. Boy, where do I start in my recommendations... CaraNo is always a good place to start.<br />
<br />

<ol>
<li><i><b><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">Tell us a bit about yourself. How old are you? Are you married or single? Have any children? Does your family know about your writing?</span></b></i><br /><br />Hi! I’m I am nineteen years old and currently working on getting my AA-T program in Psychology and finishing up my general education at the local university. I am single at the moment. My child is a four month old Yorkie, Bailey. She is a little spit fire. Some of my family knows that I write, but I don’t openly share it with them.<br /></li>
<li><i><b><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">How did you discover fanfiction? What was the first ff you ever read? </span></b></i><br /><br />I first discovered fan fiction when Twilight first came out. I was very excited to read Midnight Sun and looked it up and it turned out to be someone’s fanfiction version. I started browsing the site more. The first story that really got me hooked to FF was <b><a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8015734/1/Coming-to-Terms" target="_blank">Coming to Terms</a></b> by GinnyW31.<br /></li>
<li><span style="color: #d0e0e3;"><b><i>What is your source for inspiration when writing a story? Music lyrics? Movies? Real life? </i></b></span><br /><br />My source for inspiration when writing a story is connecting it to something that has happened in my life or something that I have wondered about. There are little pieces of events that I put in my stories that have happened to me. Music is definitely an influence; I listen to a lot of scores and can be very imaginative.<br /></li>
<li><b><i><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">How do you choose which characters to use in your story especially if it is for OOC (out of character) situation? </span></i></b><br /><br />I never really think about choosing characters to use in my stories that are OOC. I kind of start writing and then I decide if they should be OOC or not.<br /></li>
<li><b><i><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">Have you ever written a story knowing where you want to go with it but not able to get there because the characters went in a different direction? If so, does that change how you feel about the story? Are you mad about the change or happy or indifferent? </span></i></b><br /><br />Yes, I was really excited to write a story of mine years ago, but the characters felt so awkward and juvenile. It was hard to connect them. I ended up feeling extremely embarrassed about the story and pulled it.<br /></li>
<li><b><i><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">When you write a lemon, what POV (first/third and guy/girl) is better to write for you and why? </span></i></b><br /><br />I sometimes feel like the guy is easier to write about. It depends on the lemon. The girl’s point of view is easier to relate to.<br /></li>
<li><b><i><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">What is your favorite genre/category to write in and why?</span></i></b> <br /><br />I don’t really know. I like to branch out and try different ones from time to time. I really like Romance.<br /></li>
<li><span style="color: #d0e0e3;"><b><i>What is your favorite pairing to read? Got any drabbles with that pairing you can recommend? (the drabble doesn't have to be a DW entry)</i></b></span><br /><br />I have always read Edward/Bella pairings. I love any of <a href="http://caranofiction.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">CaraNo</a>’s drabbles. She is a very talented writer.</li>

There are a couple things I added, but the majority of the things written in the story are things that actually have happened. It was always a time of the family being all together and having a fun weekend getaway from school and work.<br /></li>
<li><b><i><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">Have you participates in a DW before? If you have, what have you gained from the experience? And if you haven't, will you do it again after this one? </span></i></b><br /><br />Yes, I participated in the 2012 October DW. It was definitely a fun and interesting one. I thought it was really neat to post all the chapters by the end of the weekend. I would love to participate in another one in the future.</li>

<ol>
<li><i><b><span style="color: #f4cccc;">Tell us a bit about yourself. How old are you? Are you married or single? Have any children? Does your family know about your writing?</span></b></i>My real name is Louise, but my friends call me Lou, my age *coughs* 21 – nah I am in my 30’s and that’s as much as I am committing to! I am single, and happily so. No children, only two fur babies my Syrian Hamster who were both up for adoption at the pet shop, they are called Pugsley and Dizzy. My mum knows that I write, luckily she has never asked to read any – that could be embarrassing. My sister in law knows and is ultra supportive of me.<br /><br /></li>
<li><b><i><span style="color: #f4cccc;">How did you discovered fanfiction? What was the fist ff you ever read?</span> </i></b>Oooh this is a tough one – I think that I was looking for True Blood and remember reading hot featuring Eric and Sookie. I really don’t remember the first Twilight FF that I read I wish hat I did as people seem to remember but I don’t and I wish that I did.<br /><br /></li>
<li><i><b><span style="color: #f4cccc;">What is your source for inspiration when writing a story? Music lyrics? Movies? Real life? </span></b></i>So many sources, it can be as simple as a lyric, a song lots of things, when a bunny bites – they bite!<br /><br /></li>
<li><i><b><span style="color: #f4cccc;">How do you choose which characters to use in your story especially if it is for OOC (out of character) situation?</span></b></i>I just now who will work, it’s strange – you just ‘know’ what will work best.<br /><br /></li>
<li><b><i><span style="color: #f4cccc;">Have you ever written a story knowing where you want to go with it but not able to get there because the characters went in a different direction? If so, does that change how you feel about the story? Are you mad about the change or happy or indifferent? </span></i></b>YES! Hell yes! I have done two competition entries as part of the Slash Writers Workshop and neither of them went the way that I originally planned. The latest one, An Innocent Man, well I don’t want to spoil it if you want to read it, but l will say that wasn’t the ending that I had in mind.<br /><br /></li>
<li><b><i><span style="color: #f4cccc;">When you write a lemon, what point of view (first/third and guy/girl) is better to write for you and why? </span></i></b>I usually do it in first person. When write Edward/Bella I don’t know why but I prefer to write from EPOV, so the lemons are usually from his POV.<br /><br /></li>
<li><b><i><span style="color: #f4cccc;">What is your favorite genre/category to write in and why? </span></i></b>Love angst. Pure and simply as it’s what I love to read. I love it when a story rips my heart out, stamps all over it and then hands it back to me. I have recently started writing slash, and found that I love it. That was a surprise for me and I will continue to write both genres.<br /><br /></li>
<li><b><i><span style="color: #f4cccc;">What is your favorite pairing to read? Got any drabbles with that pairing you can recommend? (the drabble doesn't have to be a DW entry) </span></i></b><br />I am an Edward/Bella gal, but I have a major soft spot for Carlisle too. For drabble recs... <b><a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7928638/1/Therapy" target="_blank">Therapy</a></b> by <i>Slashgal</i>, <b><a href="http://www.thewriterscoffeeshop.com/library/viewstory.php?sid=8385" target="_blank">Tribute</a></b> by <i>SexyLexiCullen</i>, <b><a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8586159/1/Picking-Up-The-Pieces" target="_blank">Picking Up The Pieces</a></b> by <i>Angela LuvsFanfic</i> are the ones that spring to mind!<br /><br /></li>
<li><i><b><span style="color: #f4cccc;">Tell us about your Drabble War Entry: Fandom, Pairing, Title, Summary, What inspired you to write it. (Please attach a link to your banner or you can upload the banner here in the group)</span></b></i><br />My drabble this time was inspired by seeing the River Aire in Leeds where I live and work. One night I was walking to the car after work and listening to Florence and the Machines Heavy In Your Arms, the two spurned a plot bunny ad under 5 minutes later by the time I got to the car I knew the story outline. This is the daytime shot that I captured:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Summary</i>: Edward leaves Bella in the woods after breaking her heart. But what happens to him, does he really leave? Unexpected visitors change things for him drastically and he wants nothing more than to right this wrong. <br /></li>
<li><b><i><span style="color: #f4cccc;">Have you participated in a DW before? If you have, what have you gained from the experience? And if you haven't, will you do it again after this one? </span></i></b><br />Yup, did Septembers and I had such a blast, hence signing up to do this one. I sometimes think that I must be crazy as it’s a very busy three days. You seem to be constantly on Fanfiction and end up shouting and arguing with it I learned that trying to update a drabble while you are babysitting your three young nephews is nearly impossible and requires way too much concentration. This time I will be organised and have all my chapters uploaded ready, and I have the weekend to myself too, not on babysitting duty. PHEW!</li>

Well, dear drabble readers, since this January two of our admins will be going to war, we'll make the interviews an itty bitty different…<br />
<br />
We let members at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/306986689342663/">DW Facebook Group</a> ask the questions, giving them the opportunity to know more about this month's warriors.<br />
<br />
And we are starting with one of our new administrators, Ana.<br />
<br />

<br />
Ana: Let´s see… I´ll begin with some oldie but goody. What is the first thing you ever wrote? When was that?<br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><br />MinaRivera: LOL It was a Mother’s Day poem when I was five, my mom still has it stored somewhere around. For fanfiction, I wrote a one-shot for a group contest three years ago, it was pretty dark, but I had fun writing it. </span><br />
<br />
Ana: What was it called? And, can you link us, Mina? <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;">MR: oh boy, it was titled Kyrie Eleison and it comes with a major tissue warning... Here's the link: <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6660527/1/">http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6660527/1/</a></span> <br />
<br />
Ana: .::pulling first tissue from box::.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc;">MR: should I have mentioned there is no HEA? *snickers* </span><br />
<br />
Ana: Oh, lord... <br />

<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Sarah [Sway in the Moonlight]: The first thing I ever wrote was a story for Danny Phantom. Y'know. The cartoon on Nickelodeon about a boy that becomes half ghost? It was canceled in... 2007, I believe? If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can Google it. Anyway, I had just watched a special DP episode and afterwards I wanted to write something involving Danny and Sam, because I shipped them so hard, it's not even funny. This was back in...2008, I think. My grammar was so atrocious, omg. I found the notebook I wrote the story in a couple years ago and had planned to rewrite and edit and make it pretty, but I lost it and the story, and I can't remember where I was even going with it.</span> <br />
<br />
Ana: Of course I know DP, I have kids! It´s a shame you lost it, that sounds cute.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Sarah: LOL when I first found the notebook and read the 8 chapters I wrote, I kept facepalming myself so hard. Everything I nitpick about when I read fic, I did every last one of them as a writer. Thank God I've gotten better. </span><br />
<br />
Ana: We´ve all gone though that... .::giggles::. <br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;">MR: Oh my god, I know what you mean! LOL What about you, Micaela?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">Doc Annie: I have a question! but I'll wait for all authors to answer the first one. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Micaela [Narnianicsunite]: a journal in elementary school. Fan fic wise, I think something for LOTR years ago that I pulled down. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ana: Well, Doc, you can now ask your question!</div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">Doc Annie: Okay! here's my question: When writing a lemon for your story, which POV is easier for you to write, then man's or the woman's?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;">MR: surprisingly, the guy's! I'm a slash author as well, so I'm used to writing lemons in a guy's pov. But when I'm writing a het fic, I tend to write on the girl's pov, but doesn't flow as easily. *shrugs* Freud would probably say I have "penis envy" LOL </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ana: Bahahaha... in a trail chez BOH, we recently discovered that we have been over-estimating male orgasm intellect... <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Micaela: haven't actually written any yet *gasp* but I'm hoping to maybe remedy that with this month's entry at some point, somehow.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3;">Sarah: I think, for me, writing lemons in a man's POV is easiest because, again for me, it's more fun. Especially if I'm writing slash. Plus, I sometimes wonder what it'd like to be a guy for that exact reason, so...</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ana: So, Micaela, Mina, Sarah... what are your stories about and who should read them?</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Sarah: Mine is... I can't give too much away without spoiling it. Basically, for one, it's told from Edward's POV. For another, he's been... I wouldn't say "dating" exactly, but he's... "involved" with his brother's girlfriend, whose name remains a mystery until... whenever. Close to the end, maybe. It's dramatic, for sure. As for who should read it? lol, it's based on sex, so probably no one under 18. </span></div>

<span style="color: #fff2cc;">MR: Mine is a self discovery kinda of tale, Bella catches her husband cheating on her and then a chance to get out of her routine comes in the form or a Parisian Madame. I think it's a funny story in a way and very romantic, Edward is quite charming in it, not really graphic, but there are lemons. Anyone looking for a nice fic to read and relax can read it, no angst will be found there! </span></div>

<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Micaela: Mine is not A Twilight fic, it's a BBC Robin Hood fic. It's actually more a collection of one shots about the Outlaws Will Scarlet and Djaq (whose real name is Saffiya as she is disguising herself as a boy and using her dead twin brother's name) and their love and relationship. Some one-shots will be inter connected, others not and they may be set in any time period. It's basically my contribution to the Will/Djaq community. As for readership, well anyone can read it, but you might not understand some of the references made if you've never seen the show. It's very cute and sweet but some chapters might have some readers reaching for a tissue or two.. And I apologize for that. However some of is the show's fault as they wrote these two pretty people out after the s2 finale and I'm just working within the BBC's parameters. Some of that, however, is my fault. But yeah, Will/Djaq love, sweetness and happiness. Anyone can read this entry, although I will put warnings on the chapters which may have some graphic content of any sort. You can skip these if you want, and still follow the story.</span></div>
