User blog:Fadingsilverstar16/Some facts about Gigi and her writing!

Yep. I'm definitely bored. So now, I shall put all of the stuff I've told you guys about myself in a convenient list for reference. Just...stuff that you probably already know. xD

TWENTY RANDOM FACTS ABOUT GIGI THAT YOU PROBABLY KNOW ALREADY:

1.) My signature,-- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  06:19, December 17, 2009 (UTC) is directly based off of what my screenname means. Well you know that already, but as for the whole "song" thing, when stars go supernova, scientists say they let out a "song" or a "scream" (that's where Starscream from Transformers gets his name!). So yeah. Does that make sense? xD

2.) I signed up here because I was specifically looking for another place to post LAL, and that was all. But then, it grew to become another community that I'm glad to be apart of, not like fanfiction.net.

3.) I posted my first fanfic when I was nine years old. It was a Teen Titans fic, and needless to day, it was pretty burned out by the fanfiction.net people for it's horridness.

4.) I've only finished one multi-chapter fanfiction in my life. No, I won't be saying anything about that. Ever. Lol, sorry.

5.) Before I was into Total Drama Island, I was a hardcore fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

6.) I live in California. About thirty minutes away from Disneyland, my official favorite place in the world. Disneyland is the original Disney theme park. It will turn 55 years old on July 17th, 2010. I just thought I would let you all know that. xD

7.) My favorite song of all time (yes, yes, I know I've mentioned this but I'm gonna do it again so nyeh) is "Rebirthing" by Skillet. My second favorite song is "Arrival to Earth" from the 2007 Transformers film. You all should seriously know this by now. xD

8.) I use xD waaaaaay too much.

9.) January 17, 2010 is LAL's first birthday. I don't know if this is true or not since my memory's bad, but I've always credited November 17, 2008 for being the day I came up with the idea.

10.) Life After Lies used to be titled "The Life and Lies of a Black Haired Girl". As you can probably tell, titles aren't my strong point. xD

(The next fact or two will be mostly LAL centered. Buckle up.)

11.) I really have no idea why, but for some strange reason I wanted to do a Heather-centric story, and I have these goals in mind, just to keep me on track:

- Develop Heather's character in a believable way. (Yeah. I failed. So hard.)

- Develop the romance in a believable way, so when (if) it does happen, it's not...sudden. (DOUBLE FAIL.)

- Write a dark story, in contrast with the relatively happy fanfics that this fandom is full of. And do it in a respectable manner. (Bwahahahaha fail.)

- Get emotional reactions from my readers.

- Make my readers actually care about/feel sorry for Heather and actually be on her side.

- Make someone cry. For realz. (Um...did I fail at this? I think I did so far. xD)

- Write a not too mushy, not too sappy, but still poignant, sad, and bittersweet hurt/comfort scene. (LOL. I KNOW RIGHT? This one's coming later, but don't worry, it'll still fail. :D)

There are lots more, but that's about it. Haha, number twelve is the longest fact yet.

12.) The greatest accomplishment I think I've ever achieved is having an actual literary analysis of my work done. I'm too lazy to post it, so see the Chapter 14 on LAL's talk page. xD Again, YOU ARE AWESOME, EMMY!!

13.) My favorite Classic Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast. My favorite Pixar movie is WALL-E. (Although...I might have a new favorite Classic Disney movie next week. Yay!)

14.) There is a fanfic reference in Chapter 14, towards the ending. Whoever can spot it first gets a cookie! Look hard. ;)

15.) The greatest gift I have ever recieved is a little blue light from one of the floats of the original Disneyland Main Street Electrical Parade. I cried when I got it. Seriously.

16.) I'd been wanting to write something like Screwed for a long, long time after writing Chapters 7 and 8. I was originally planning to have Heather be listening outside of the cell while the torture scene was going on, but ended up axing that.

17.) My favorite book is "Wicked".

18.) I love getting reviews, and I consider myself very fortunate that most of the reviews I've gotten tell me LAL is better than crappy and that means so much to me. But this, honestly, has to be the best compliment I've ever recieved:

"Let's put it this way. TDP is gold. A gold bar. This is platinum. (better than gold) Platinum. Autographed by Chuck Norris. Shaped like a supernova. THAT'S how awesome this story is!!"

Can you guess who said that? C'mon. Guess. xD I mean, wow. Having my story compared to platinum and called better than the most popular story here is something I will never truly fathom. Ever.

19.) My favorite scene that I had to so far was the last scene of Chapter 13, so far. I played Pocahontas music and everything while doing it. xD

20.) I am fourteen years old, and I've never taken a writing class in my life. Everything I know I've gone and looked up myself or know from experience, which explains why I kinda stink at this whole writing thing. XDDDDD

Aaaaaaand that's about it! Now you know a little more about me. Heeeeee.

Oh yeah!

BONUS FACT 21.) I think the Nostalgia Critic's "Cool As Ice" review is the funniest thing ever. xD

Happy Holidays, guys! Tomorrow, Christmas Eve's only a week away! My parents already put me and my little brother's presents under the tree. Now I get to stare and wonder what they are for the next week. It's TORTURE! LOL.
