1. You saying that I was one of your favorite writers, here. TBTDIF saying TD:BI was the best on the site. Tdirm saying that TD:BI was the only competition he followed closely. You guys are way too kind. 2. I cried when Kendall didn't want Fiona to leave Boney Island and when Quintin realized that he was playing the part death played in separating his brother and him by trying to keep Katrina and Sabrina at each other's throats, then he tried to redeem himself by convincing Katrina to vote him out. 3. Hmm... I think I was in my room, drawing some new TDI style characters. That became TD:BI. I don't remember when it was. 4. Oh, I dunno. I don't think my writing is award worthy... *shrugs* 5. Seriously, not very long. I have trouble translating my thoughts into words, and I always thought I sucked at writing, but I have really creative ideas. I think I'm improving here... I hope. 6. Um... I don't think so. I think a few questions I asked Survivor contestants got put on some websites. >_> 7. On my computer. That's it. Not on paper. I did write some ideas down for TFC, and TDR. Thankfully I did, because I had someone on the wrong team in my mind. 8. With TD:BI I had so many strong ideas that I had to put them into existence. I wanted to write a story with a message, teens dealing with family issues, and expressing the negativity they feel toward their family or others, and getting passed that. I tried to heavily disguise that, though, as I don't want my story to beat someone over the head with morals, but I didn't want the story to be meaningless. 9. Sometimes I'll listen to some catchy Japanese jingles in between writing to relax my mind... Weird, huh? I have been influenced by a song called Like the Weather (the link isn't the best recording, mind you). "iRene" is partially based on it. It's an externally happy, bright, and cheerful song about clinical depression and agoraphobia. Basically, it's about someone who doesn't leave their home and uses something, like the weather, as an excuse to stay indoors. 10. I don't have anything specific, but when I first started to write TD:BI, I felt that it was a wasted effort, because I had no comments (hence, no readers, in my mind). I realized that I did have readers when my story rose in the ranks of most read, and people began commenting. Now TD:BI is either the most commented on story, or one of the most. I have to thank my faithful readers, as they're the ones who kept the story alive. I try to return the favor by keeping a schedule they can rely on for new chapters, and trying to support new stories where I can think of some commendation to give, or a little tip (but not too many of those).
