*Lounging like Cleopatra floating down the Nile, Imagination101 sails along the top of the crowd. A few of the bolder males cop a feel as they pass her along. About a fifty meters from Ana, Imagination101 waves her hand and the crowd deposit her gently to onto the carpet. They are not quite so gentle with her date.
Fluffing her hair out she struts the rest of the way in her skinny jeans, two inch black stiletto heels and a form fitting red sweater designed to amply show off her bosom. *
Imagination101 opens her arms out wide: Ana, darling, it's been ages.
*Leaning down Ana and Imagination101 air kiss*
Ana: Sweetie! But weren't you xangelsmomx last time we spoke. Remarried?
Imagination101 laughs: It's for tax purposes Darling.
Ana taps the side of her nose and nods: So, loving the outfit.
Imagination101: I may not be a spring chicken, but I still have it. And my motto is you have it, and then flaunt it.
Man in rainbow tux: You'll never lose it baby.
Ana beams: Whose this?
Imagination101: My date, my hubby.... You may have heard of him psdoffhby. You can always tell him by his neon green shoestrings.
Ana looks down: They are...I'm trying to think of the right word... let's go with LOUD. So you have two stories up for the Watty's. Wow. How did you react to the news?
Imagination101: I squealed, literally. It was just after midnight and I happened to still be online. I wasn't expecting anything to be up yet but decided to check anyway. I decided late to put both of my stories in and knew I was going to be up against some tough competition. I wasn't really expecting to get through based on the votes and reads of other authors ahead of me.
Ana: The Watty algorithm is something wattpad keep close to their chests.
*Imagination101 and psdoffhby laugh.*
Ana: No really, I've heard rumors of a glow in the dark tattoo. So your story "Moonlight Madness" has been nominated for Most Popular in Fantasy and "Second Chance Romance" has been nominated to Most Popular in Non-Teen fiction. What are they about?
Imagination101: "Moonlight Madness" is about a girl called Leah. She was having a time adjusting to her new life after her mother remarried. Her step brother hated her, she had trouble making new friends and she would rather just find a quiet corner to read in than attend a high school party like the rest of her class. That all seems to change when she comes in contact with her brother's best friend, Jaxon. The chemistry between them implodes at astronomical proportions and unexplainable things begin to happen. And if that wasn't enough to complicate matters, for the first time in her life, someone finds out about her secret. A secret she had been harboring for as long as she could remember; the secret of her inner panther. She also learns that in this new town she lives in, she's not alone like she once thought. She just happens to live in a town filled with other feline shifters. Now the real story begins.
Ana: And "Second Chance Romance"?
Imagination101: At eighteen years of age Jade thought she had found the one man she would spend the rest of her life with, at least until one sunny afternoon she walked in on him and another woman and found them in a compromising position. Heart broken, Jade leaves her home town determined to make her own way. Five years later she gets the one call that beats them all, her father is gone. Forced to go back home and settle his affairs how will she handle seeing Austin once again? Can she protect her heart any better this go round or will she relive the same mistakes and lose it all again.
Ana: I'll add both to my reading list. Can you tell us about your self?
Imagination101: My name is Tara and I'm a mother of three, loving wife and work full time as a real estate paralegal in a small law practice. I live in the southern United States and I'm true to my roots, just your every day country girl. I love to read and write, always have and probably always will. I like the idea of creating my own worlds and orchestrating the lives of the characters within them. Other than that... that's really about it :D
Ana: Well not everything surely?
psdoffhby: She forgot to mention she looks smoking in a sweater. I love to watch her as she walks away, she's definitely going to be working this orange carpet.
Ana: TMI. Last question before I let you go and padoffhby gets his jollies. If you could be a cartoon character who would you be? Why?
Imagination101: Has to be the Road Runner. He's forever running circles around poor Coyote. For once in my life I would love to be the one to run circles around everyone else instead of killing myself to play catch up all the time :D
Ana: Buy an electric Scooter. Those things can move.
*Imagination101 turns to psdoffhby and pouts*
psdoffhby: I'll buy you one for Christmas.
Imagination101: Score! Well nice seeing you again Ana. Bye.
*Imagination101 struts as she walks away.*
