Day: Ello!
Elvirina: hi there
Day: How are you?
Elvirina: Good, eating candy...
Day: lucky bitch...
Elvirina: I think so too... my faviorite
Day: -glares- Lets get on with the interview, shall we?
Day: lol
Elvirina: we shall, ask away
Day: So explain to me, Where in the world did you get the idea for this fic?
Elvirina: Mainly it started as a spin on my story Starting Over. Four Weeks and Starting Over are linked. It is the same Alice featured in both stories. But I just couldn't let go of the romance between Jasper and Alice. I had to explore that and what it would be like between them.I wanted to move outside the box
Day: You might kill me but...I have not read Starting Over is the Jasper in that story also a Girl?
Elvirina: Yep... Chapter 14 might help you. There Bella meets Jasper for the first time and is absolutely clueless to what the hell Alice is up to. But I wanted both stories to be able to run independently You will also find a physical description of Jasper in that chapter Through Bella
Day: I should read Starting Over then...
Elvirina: I don't think that is my strongest work. You don't have to. But it is a general just a common romance
Day: So what inspires you to write?
Elvirina: Stephanie Meyer... who the fuck else. In the beginning in was original stories, but I might as well bang my head against the wall. There are no online readers in that. But she once said she had all these disjointed stories in her head and then she started to write Twilight. I felt the same way and I was always so ashamed about the shit floating around in my head that i never said anything. So I thought if she could write hers down, I could write mine down as well Lame I know, but it is a nice vent to let my mind run wild and exactly how I want insane I wanted it to go
Day: Did ya have any concern with how your readers -glares at those who have not reviewed- would take the plot?
Elvirina: I am an extremely anxious person, I am the fucking postergirl for selfdoubt. So yeah I am worried, but I am learning to deal with it. I try to shake it off that I don't get reviews, but that doesn't mean I don't evny others. *blushes* My Beta on this story helped at lot, she is open minded and honestly liked the plot
Day: So, is the story that you are posting now the original idea you had or have you tweaked it a bit?
Elvirina: It is generally original. Beta help out, especially with grammar and commented if something didn't sit well with her. Chapter 6 and that heated little lemon I have her to tank for it. I never toned anything down to be more modest. It was more the other way around She pushed me
Day: Many author just wing the story after they have a certain idea, do you do that or do you follow a outline?
Elvirina: I generally have an outline in my head. I write a rough draft and then go back and add over several days. Some things only come to me after I have the rough draft, the parts, I think, adds depth and insight .
Day: Did you have any inspiration for the characteristics of your Jasper?
Elvirina: The original. Sort of calm, resting in her/himself. Someone caring, careful and reading into details. That is how I see SM's Jasper
Day: Why did you choose to make Jasper a woman?
Elvirina: I wanted to experiment. I had a rough idea of an original story I wrote a while back and in that 'Alice' was gay, so I build on that. Also I wanted to do something different to spice up Alice and give a twist to Alice. then I couldn't let go how her relationship with her girlfriend would take it's beginning So that became Jasper
Day: Out of All the chapter you have written which one has been the hardest by far?
Elvirina: One not posted yet. Sent it off to my beta today. I am not even sure I am going to post it.
Day: O.O why are you not sure?
Elvirina: I need to make sure that my story should take that turn in development. As said, my stories are linked and I am working on the future plot. But I probably will end up posting
Day: Which was the easiest Chapter to write?
Elvirina: hmm I think the first 2, I seperated them later when the chapter was too long. The lemons have been a bit challanging to write so that was when things toughened up
Day: Has your story won any awards?
Elvirina: What do you think???????????? NO I basically have no readers. *slapping my thigh* This latest posting was tragic
Day: -shakes head- That is tragic
Elvirina: Yeah a little. I love this story, but I also doubt myself enormously... so I think it is not good enough
Day: Who where your betas for the story? are you close with them?
Elvirina: Her name is Dazzled eyes22 and she is awesome. No I am not close with her, but she is someone I trust implicit for her very valued opinion. she is honest and very constructive in her criticism. When I get her comments have the oppotinuty to look at my chapter with her eyes. That is invaluable to me
Day: And You're pre-readers, who i must say i'm absolutely jealous of, What is thier role in the process? If you have them of course
Elvirina: So hard to find someone who doesn't just say... 'that's great' I only have Dazzled eyes on this one. No one else. Why would you be jealous?
Day: Cause this story is awesome
Elvirina: Oh thank you... *blushing*
Day: -shakes head- You really need to gain more confidence with your writing its a very good story
Elvirina: I try to, but Rome wasn't build in a day. I use Tyggy once in a while to pick her mind and boost my confidence
Day: yeah Tyggy is good at that, She is my beta for Cheater Cheater
Elvirina: Tyggy is very honest and I really like her. Haven't known her for that long
Day: How many chapter are you going to have in the story? Is it close to being finished?
Elvirina: So far I have 9 chapters and an Epi. That will be followed by 2 more chapters from APOV, that is were hard chapter are

Favorite music while writing: Depends on what I need to write. Dark for dark and Love for Love. My favorite singer/Songwriter is Tina Dickow and that is for love and reasoning. Skunk Anansie for darker times. But it varies all the time. My taste is very electic
Favorite Author: Favorite Author. Mkystic... she is fuck awesome and makes us all fade in comparison
Favorite Undiscovered Fic: I am not sure.
Favorite Book: From my teen years. The winter of Fire, by sheryl Jordan
Favorite Site to Update: my own lousy FF.net site... oh god no. Er perhaps dirtycheekymonkies. I have an One shot running there next week
My Muse: Uhm, my fucked up head at times. But that also differes. Music of different artist. A deep meaningful singersong writer can really ring my bell
Hand or type: hand write... what is that. Last I tried that was 1999 I think
Fandoms: Twilight
First Fanfic ever read: Emancipation Proclamation
PDF APPROVAL: They can make pdf and take it with them. I sometimes do for my Ipod
Translate: It's okay to translate
Without permission: so not cool.
Taboo: I am a little divided on that one. I fear there are so many YOUNG readers, and some of the shit around here is not for kids. But on the other hand I am very much in favor of freedom of speech. So Young people should be protected, but you should also be able to write what you want
Why should other read your story? Give One Reason: Broaden a narrowminded view of the world or a sexy story. What ever tickles their fancy. Shit, I don't know. Why do we chose a story... it differs
So there we go, I shall now leave with some man Candy ♥
