1. What's you're name and do you like it, why or why not? (If you don't want to use your real name, username is absolutely fine!)
"My name is Crimson... it used to be something else, but I changed it. It's original and it suits my personality - I love it."
2. Do you like animals? Why, why not? What's your favorite? (Anything in there. More the better, remember!)
"Oh, god... erm.. I love animals. I have no favourite, but I'd choose a cat over a dog any day. At the moment I seem to be running a small zoo in my home, with 26 pets... 3 dogs, 7 cats, 4 canaries, 1 snake, 1 skink (a type of lizard), 1 gecko, 2 bearded dragons, 3 chinchillas, 2 mice, and 2 rabbits."
EDIT: "Unfortunately, my canaries all passed away from a contagious disease. We decided not to get any other birds, however we did obtain a British Giant Rabbit... a house rabbit, who will grow to about the size of my Beagle puppy (who is quite large)! So unfortunately, we now only have 23 pets. 'Only'? What am I talking about?"
3. Do you have any siblings? If not, what about your parents? How do you feel about these people?
"A brother, a half-sister and an adopted sister, and numerous step-siblings that I've never met. I love my brother to bits, though we don't talk that often. I haven't seen nor heard about my half-sister since I last saw her when I was ten and she was dating a Sideshow Bob lookalike. My adopted sister is my closest friend. She's amazing. As for my parents, well my dad and my mom are divorced. I get along amazingly with both, and I adore my stepmom too. I don't get along that well with my stepdad, though... mostly cause he treats my mom like dirt."
4. Do you know me? (Hah. I like that one.)
"Er... apart from entering your contest, no."
5. Where do you live? (This is optional. I understand some people might not want to answer it. I live in the U.S.!)
"In the wonderful country that is England. We own you all. Who woulda thunk it?"
6. Do you like music, and if so, how do you relate it to your writing?
"I adore music. Music, is life. It's like breathing for me. I eat, drink, sleep, dress, write music. It's so amazing for me. I incorpate songs into my writing and base stories off songs - always giving credit where credit is due, of course. Such as (bit of pimping here) my recent stories "Resist The Serpent", which is based off Alice Cooper's "Poison", and "Trash", which is based off KoRn's song of the same name."
7. What is your favorite thing to write?
"Fanfiction. I admit it, I'm a fanfiction whore. Band fic, book fic, film fic... you name it, I've wrote it. Particularly slash fanfiction. The idea of a pair of hot guys from my favourite fandom getting off... well, you get it."
8. Are you a people person?
"No. Simple as. No."
9. Do you seem to have a lot of REAL friends?
"Er... no. Just my adopted sister Opal, my best friend Gilly, and my close friend Marianne."
10. How do you feel about war?
"It sucks, man. That's all. It's so unfortunate that we have to kill or be killed so much."
11. Why do you like StoryWrite?
"Cuz I can pimp and post my stories... even if they never get read!"
12. What got you into writing?
"That's like asking me if I remember the day I was born. I have no idea."
13. Do you have a friend here that you really, really love?
"Not really... but I love my friend Gilly. She has an account here but doesn't use it, does that count?"
14. Does your writing seem to effect the people around you?
"Do you mean, does my constant writing of fanfiction annoy people? Yes. Very much."
**15. Why do you write?
"The same reason that I listen to music. It's life. I can pour my emotions out into writing the way that music can take and turn my emotions. It's a powerful thing... and when I write something great, it's only giving me motivation to write more, however bad. So I just write, because I can. It makes me feel good, I guess."
Author notes
Er... because I could, I reckon. I just loved the idea and liked being able to write something autobiographical, in a way, for once.

I talk to myself when I'm bored, but never can quite come up with something that's this interesting.
No one reads your stuff, eh?
Hmm...I was reading a part of your Dr. Who story earlier, but stopped because the season has just come to a close here in the States...and I'm split between wanting spoilers for next season and not wanting spoilers. I got to the part where it was talking about the Master dying in the Doctor's arms...and I just froze.
I really liked the story up until then, too, but the spoiler hater in me acted up and I closed it.
If you wrote something that didn't have any spoilers, I would devour it.
Again, this was a very interesting piece. I will read your stuff...just nothing with spoilers. -
This was great. Very insightful, and very heartfelt! It seemed...poetic to me. You know what I mean? The way you wrote your answers....your emotion was seeping through the seams. I love that. I'm really, really glad you entered and decided to take the time for my contest!

You did great here, making me laugh and making me think hard. And it seemed as if you really thought about what you write- or at least told the truth. That's great.
This was very insightful and creative, giving me a bit of a summary about you.
Thanks so much for taking the time to enter my contest, and good luck!
xoxo
Tay
PS:
LOVE the animals! ...I'm sorry about what happened to one.
(I can see in your comments.)
Great job, anyhow!
