Interview With An Author: Quirky Style

AllyMei

I'd like to study Languages. I always wanted to learn them and then travel the world or something and write some kind of epic book about that.

Would you rather go to the Grammys or the Academy Awards?

Academy Awards.

You have to set your story in a country that isn't your own, and isn't the US, the UK, Canada or Australia. Where would you set it?

Finland or Russia.

Would you rather be an extra in a huge, blockbuster movie or have a character named after you in a self-published, unpopular book?

The second one.

What time period/place (e.g. middle ages, 12th century China, Ancient Egypt) would you like to live in and why?

When I was little I used to dream that I would be like a princess from the middle ages, saved from trouble by a knight or something... xD

Are you an old soul or a young soul?

I think I'm a young soul :)

What song annoys you more than anything else?

Blurred Lines

Pick your favourite movie character. Now recast them and explain why.

I think that maybe Bella from Twilight could be replaced by another actress that would play the character much better.

Pick your favourite book character. Now put them in a different book entirely (and explain why you would put them there).

I love Pressia from the trilogy Pure, she's just a great and strong character :) And I think that because of that she would maybe do great in Divergent.

In the movie of your life, who would play you?

India Eisley

Quick: What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you read the word 'Swamp'?

Loch Ness. Not sure why xD

What is something that you do not understand AT ALL and you don't think you ever will understand it?

Math.

Have you ever been to Scandinavia?

Nope.

Which is your favourite letter of the alphabet and why?

M, it's the first letter of the names of two people that are very important to me.

Lucky number? 7

What's the physical feature people comment on the most? Eyes.

Which of the ancient pantheons-Greek Mythology, Egyptian mythology etc.-do you find the most interesting? Egyptian mythology.

What, in your opinion, is the most unrealistic thing about zombie movies?

The only thing that I don't like about zombie movies is the fact that my favourite characters always get eaten first.

--Story Question--

On a scale of one to ten, how bad is the world in your book? (Ten being a world that is completely horrible, one being a utopian heaven):

7

List a song that fits with the beginning third of your book, a song that fits the middle and a song that fits the end. (Basically, a three song playlist that sums up your book).

- Passenger: Let her go

- Lana Del Rey: Ride

- David Bowie: Heroes

One of your characters can come to life; who is it and why?:

Lill from my story 'Misfits', because she's an awesome friend that would never leave someone that needs her.

If you had to write the book from another character's perspective (or from a character's perspective full stop, if 3rd person) whose would it be and why?

Maybe Skip, because he's an interesting character :)

Paste your favourite quote from your story and explain why you love it. :

'' They already lost everything and that was why they knew how life was precious. They knew that there'll be one day when we won't have it anymore and that it could be tomorrow already. And because that, they didn't want to waste it. They lived each day of their lives like it was their last. '' It's kind of long, but I think that it explains well how we all just get one life each and it's important not to waste it.

Did you/are you writing this in correct order or just whatever scene you feel like should be written next?

The second one xD

Guesstimate how many hours of planning you did before beginning to write this story.:

2-4 . Not a lot, it was a spontaneous idea xD

Who, or what, is the main antagonist? Explain them. Are they evil, misunderstood or something else?

Emily is an antagonist at first, but only because she's misunderstood

Describe the most attractive (in any way) character in the series: features, clothing and personality.

Lill, because she's a great person, no matter everything that she went through and because she's different from the normal and doesn't mind it.

Which is the strongest in your story: setting, characters or plot?

Characters.

If you had to cut one main or main supporting character from your story, who would it be?

I don't know. It's hard just to delete an important character xD

Do you want to get this story published one day?

 Yes. I've always dreamed of that.
