    Me:
    Let's start off with something easy, how are you today?
    FallenAngel:
    I'm good, thanks.
    Me:
    That's good, let's get down to the questions. How long have you've been on Fan Fiction?
    FallenAngel:
    Since around May of 2012.
    Me:
    How much has it changed from then to now?
    FallenAngel:
    It's definitely a lot less active. Not as many stories have been made, and not as many people are reading those stories. The amount of roleplays have increased and decreased a lot, but I think there aren't as many now. It's hard to remember clearly. I also think the general length of the stories have shortened considerably, as well as the length of the updates.
    Me:
    Yes I do agree with that, it has changed a lot.  When did you started to write? Did you ever imagine yourself being a writer?
    FallenAngel:
    I started writing creatively in kindergarten, though of course it was barely understandable. Around second grade was when I decided to be a writer when I grew up. My second grade teacher was amazing, and she got my class really into creative writing. I wrote a ton of stories in second grade, and I've been writing ever since.
    Me:
    That's amazing, I wish I could say I started that young.  Now this next question is very serious. Are you ready for it?
    FallenAngel:
    Let's hope so.
    Me:
    Alright then. Do you like cheese? 
    FallenAngel:
    Ew, no.?
    Me:
    -Gasp- You don't like cheese?  That's unnatural. 
    FallenAngel:
    Yeah, I'm a picky eater, and cheese is nasty. I even peel it off my pizza/chicken parm/other cheesy foods.
    Me:
    Alright moving on to the next question.  Do you have any hobbies? If you do, what are they? If you don't, then why not?
    [/b] FallenAngel: [/b]
    Yes, I like writing of course, and I love art, soccer, volleyball, running, contemplating the universe. Y'know. Just the ordinary stuff. Oh and reading.
    Me:
    It's alright, I like those things too.  I see you critique a lot of people's works on Fan Fiction, do you like critiquing?
    FallenAngel:
    Yep. I like reading other people's work, and I feel obligated to give my input on what I think could be improved. I know I want that for my stories. It's nice helping writers improve, because all of us can always get better.
    Me:
    Does it frustrate you to continuously have to write down that they have grammar/spelling/punctuation mistakes?
    FallenAngel:
    No, I know that that's one of the harder things to fix, and I have the same issue. I just wish there's a shorter term though, lol.
    Me:
    Perhaps g/s/p? It can be a thing, we could totally make it the new thing to say. 
    FallenAngel:
    Yes! Well g/s/p/c. Capitalization is super important too. That'd be so much easier than having to type it out all the time~
    Me:
    Alright then! Let's start that revolution!  Onto the next question. What is your advice to get rid of Writer's Block?
    FallenAngel:
    It's different for everyone. Some people just force themselves to write, or go outside, listen to music, read other stories, just do something to get inspiration. You could also work on a different part of the story (e.g. Plot or character development) to get yourself more excited and able to write. I would suggest trying all of those. If that doesn't work, then time's the next best option. Sometimes you just can't write, and you can't change that. You'll have to wait for inspiration to strike again.
    Me:
    Very true, I guess that an Author is screwed if he or she have a deadline to meet and none of those work huh? 
    FallenAngel:
    Yeah, I feel bad for professional writers. So much pressure! I wonder how they deal with it.
    Me:
    You're not the only one my friend. 
    FallenAngel:
    Haha yep, although I'd imagine they have more than enough time to write within the deadline.
    Me:
    Do you think Swiss cheese is unnatural because it has holes in it? 
    FallenAngel:
    Yes, lol I used to call it the God of cheeses when I was little because it's full of holes. Holy, get it? Lol. Well I think all cheese is unnatural and rubbery and gross.
    Me:
    Haha Nice.  What inspires you to write? Where do your ideas come from?
    FallenAngel:
    Everything, and everywhere. I get a lot of ideas from songs, especially those with lyrics that I love; landscapes and general surroundings, both in real life and pictures; classes; other stories, though be careful to not copy or plagiarize; and pretty much all of my experiences. Sometimes when I'm half asleep and making random fantasies I'll have the greatest idea ever. It's pretty odd.
    Me:
    Haha I understand what you mean, my best ideas comes from when I'm laying in my bed getting ready to sleep.  What type of Genres do you like to write?
    FallenAngel:
    Anything besides sci fi, romance, and historical fiction. Well and no non-fiction either.
    Me:
    I'm not too much of a non-fiction writer myself. ? Do you find yourself constantly at war with yourself when you are writing?
    FallenAngel:
    What do you mean? Like, what will happen in the story?
    Me:
    Yes, let me rephrase the question. Do you find yourself faced with problems of making decisions for your story? If that makes sense. ?
    FallenAngel:
    Yeah, that makes sense. I usually don't. For me, the only time I'll change my mind about what's going to happen is if I get a better idea and override the original one. I'm constantly improving my plot, and I usually don't have difficulty making decisions.
    Me:
    That's good, it's nice to have an easy time making those decisions.  Is there any writing projects or stories that you are currently working on?
    FallenAngel:
    Well, apparently I'm writing a new story now according to Royale. I haven't figured out what it'll be yet but hopefully I will soon!
    Me:
    That's great, I can't wait to read it. Any writing advice for our readers? Any advice for me to improve on interviews?
    FallenAngel:
    Be creative! Be original! No one wants to read the ten thousandth vampire teen romance or controlling government story. Also, use lots of description and figurative language -- show, not tell. Make the readers able to see the story taking place! And keep writing, because that's the only way to get better.

    As for your interviews, you're doing a mighty fine job.
    Me:
    Why, thank you madam! ️ To wrap things up here is the last question, if you live in a world that's made out of cheese...what would you do?
    FallenAngel:
    Well first, I would squish it all because cheese is fun to squish. Then I would die of hunger.
    Me:
    Excellent answer.  Thank you for lending me your time and it was great interviewing you! 
