| Answer |
Author has written 28 stories for Fairy Tales, Beauty and the Beast, Disney, Wizard of Oz, and Harry Potter. So, you demand solid facts. At least, I hope you do, because otherwise I'll have to mash them up with a bit of milk and feed them to you with a spoon, which is not dignified. What follows may be somewhat pretentious and contain random bolding. If it helps, I hardly ever do that in my actual writing. I am eighteen years old. This means I am legally able to do all kinds of things I could probably have got away with before, but have never really wanted to do. I live in England, where we really do talk about the weather a lot. The abundance of chip shops makes this bearable. I am at university studying for a degree in English Literature. I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but I'm enjoying it so far! I love musical theatre, but have a curiously closed mind about musicals I'm not familiar with. My initial reaction to the Wicked cast recording was "...meh". Of course, now it's "OMG LET'S DEFY SOME GRAVITY!!" I stalk the UK tour of Beauty and the Beast. I claim that I don't really watch television. This is because any time anyone asks me if I saw some programme last night, I didn't. This happens a lot, leading me to conclude that other people must watch much more TV than me. In actual fact, I frequently get trapped on the sofa by irresistably addictive repeats of Friends. I also love Ugly Betty, New Tricks and Have I Got News For You and lately have become curiously drawn to those programmes where they follow policemen involved in real-life car chases. My favourite films are numerous and ever-changing. Those that stand firm are Beauty and the Beast, When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, 10 Things I Hate About You and Ella Enchanted. Others that have enjoyed transient partiality include Sweeney Todd, Hairspray, Edward Scissorhands, Mamma Mia, The Importance of Being Earnest and Ever After. My favourite books include the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde, The Princess Bride, Pride and Prejudice and the Artemis Fowl series. I've been writing fanfiction since I was thirteen and hadn't actually heard of it. Naturally I thought it was a fantastic new idea. Of course, in reality it was a painfully obvious Mary Sue fic and ignorance is no excuse. I think my fanfiction has improved since then, but sadly any ability to think of an original story has withered and died. I don't blame fanfiction for this, I think my talents are just limited to stealing other people's ideas and using them to create inferior works. By the way, just in case you were wondering, I don't normally talk or even write like this. I'm just feeling somewhat verbose as I write. Usually I use emoticons and everything, promise! | |||||||||
