LMAO is it sad that I can talk like yoda though? LOL A Life I need ROFL! okay i'm a major dork

Haha!  Okay, I'm totally cracking up over here.  And of course, my latest nickname is "Dork," so we needn't discuss my dorkiness! 

[mare]

LOL I love Yoda speak.

I don't think I asked this one yet, but then again this is the time of the month where I start repeating myself without realizing it, so if I did already ask this I apologize lol

If you could change anything about either one of your stories what would it be? Whether it be plot, or character development or anything at all.

[Teri]

I would have made AIL and SWIB about 10-20 chapters longer each. cuz like AS is gonna be 75 chapters, and the prequels each 50+ soooo yeah i feel like I could have done a lot more with them.

[Tri]

Here's a question...  From being a beta of yours for a while now, I know that you have your series VERY well planned out and you know everything about your characters.  Buuut...  Do you ever wait to see how your readers react to something and tweak it accordingly?  Or do you pretty much stick to your plan and do what you originally wanted to? 

[Teri]

I tweak things slightly, like this next chapter....the res some major plot things that MUST happen, and all that may lose me some readers, but it needs to happen for my characters. and well i normally stick to my plan pretty much, just if something is TOO off the wall to begin with i'd probably end up changing it anyways.

[mare]

That is a great quesiton Tri, I was actually going to ask you something very smiliar to that Teri. I was going to ask you if you ever let your fan feedback influence your decisions in your stories.

[Teri]

Sometimes I do, but only slightly. I value my beta's opinions too, so like if they told me not to do what I'm doing with the story then I'd change it, but since they're supportive of where I'm going with it...*evil look* it's staying lol! But it's hard these chapters i've written for AS 20-23 so far have been the hardest to write and honestly i think they're pivotal to the story and how it's going to completely change the dynamic of AS that was building.

[mare]

^ so does that scare you? When you have a big pivotal part in a story or a big change coming, does it ever scare you that it'll turn your fans off?

yay this feels like a live interview lol

[Teri]

yes it does scare me, like tonight i had a major freak out, just ask tri and mel. cuz this chapter is so huge and important and there's something that happens that sets the tone for the next almost ten chapters before things start to get better. and well it's just huge and tri and mel had to talk me out of quitting completely.

[mare]

Eek! That's the worst feeling lol i'm glad they managed to talk you out of quitting and I hope you get the reaction you are hoping for.

[Teri]

oh i'm pretty sure i'm gonna get reactions liek "OMG HOW COULD YOU!" and stuff like that but it comes with the territory, i went off on sarah when i thought she was gonna kill Nick in PTW so it comes with the territory.

[julilly]

You just opened yourself up for a comment of how could you from me lol

[Teri]

well I just updated with chapter 23 sooooo go check it out!

[mare]

So how has the feedback been so far? Positive?

[Teri]

alot of OMG THAT'S SO SAD! but I figured that would happen. It's the tragedy they need right now!!
