2) How long did it take you to write this entire story?

3) Give us a summary different from the one you have posted on AC, with a few more spoilers to make people tune in.

4) What made you come up with the concept of this one?

5) Who was your favorite character in this story and why?

6) You had to know this was coming, who was your least favorite?

7) Are all the boys in this one? If not why did you choose to exclude them?

Post by: summer03 on February 02, 2013, 10:41:12 AM: 1) Tell us one thing about your story that no one else knows? I wasn't planning on it being AU. It turned out to be one though as I began writing it.

2) How long did it take you to write this entire story? Around 15 months.

3) Give us a summary different from the one you have posted on AC, with a few more spoilers to make people tune in. Two people raised differently but both wanting a change and while making this change they meet each other. The way they meet though is not the best way Amber is Alex's hostage, she tries to get out if it but instead she realizes Alex may not be so bad after all.

4) What made you come up with the concept of this one? Well my family is pretty religious
some more than others and I have seen how some of my family members can be strict with there children with everything from how to talk to what they wear. It's kind of depriving them to me anyway, but then I have family that is totally and completely just bad you know... so I got thinking and this story came out.

5) Who was your favorite character in this story and why? I have to say I like both of the main characters because I think they both grow in this story but, if I had to choose I say Amber the most.

6) You had to know this was coming, who was your least favorite? Definitely Robert McLean he in this story has no heart and is very ambitious.

7) Are all the boys in this one? If not why did you choose to exclude them? Wow... I believe Howie and Brian pop in the story... Don't remember since its been a while if the other do. eek!

Post by: mare on February 07, 2013, 06:55:09 PM: I know you mentioned that you weren't planning on making this an AU, so which genre do you feel more comfortable writing in?

What made you decide to make AJ your main character?

Do you tend to write in first person or third person?

Post by: summer03 on February 12, 2013, 11:10:03 AM: I know you mentioned that you weren't planning on making this an AU, so which genre do you feel more comfortable writing in? Hmmm... I believe AU that's why I try to use other genres but it just felt right at the end to make it AU.

What made you decide to make AJ your main character? He fit my bad boy look. Of course him being my favorite had nothing to do with it. *coughs* But seriously it was his look it fit with the character.

Do you tend to write in first person or third person? Third person is easier for me but I have tried first person.

Yes, when Alex proposes.

Good question, I would say romantic, but I thing comedy is pretty close.

Thanks Mare for asking me these great questions.
