My Answers- Contest Entry

1. What's you're name and do you like it, why or why not?

I will not tell you my real name, but my username is Seria Evans. I use that user name everywhere. It was the name of my first story/role playing character. She is made of everything I've always wanted to be..

2. Do you like animals? Why, why not? What's your favorite?

I love certain animals. Some, like reptiles, are just a little creepy to me, though. My favorite animals are cats. My favorite cat is the white bengal. They are a sort of white tiger.

3. Do you have any siblings? If not, what about your parents? How do you feel about these people?

I have one little brother that I hate to death, yet would do anything for. I live with my father, who is a great person and is very much alike to me. My mother is a bit loony, though, and I just can't stand her..

4. Do you know me?

No, but I love you. I love everyone. ^-^

5. Where do you live?

Hell, USA. This 'city' sucks. Stupid countryside..

6. Do you like music, and if so, how do you relate it to your writing?

I love music of all sorts. When I say all, I mean all. From heavy metal to Sebastian Bach, I listen to it all. My friends fear for me and of me. Heh.

7. What is your favorite thing to write?

Fantasy. Perhaps it's because that's my favorite place to be. My alternate reality during sleep and daydreaming.

8. Are you a people person?

Sometimes. It depends on my mood, location, what I'm doing, who it is that is there, who is doing what, and if I've had enough sleep. If the answer to the last is yes, then it's usually all good.

9. Do you seem to have a lot of REAL friends?

This one made me laugh. Yes, I do have many friends offline, just not ones that also go to here(that I know of). I'm lucky to have my friends. They're the only reason I can go by in life. When I was younger, I was a loner. I don't know if I could stand to do that now...

10. How do you feel about war?

I'm anti-war. Some people think I act a bit hippie-ish, and this is one of the causes. I feel that people need to stop killing each other because of pure emotions. It's idiotic.

11. Why do you like StoryWrite?

It's a great community environment to display my stories. I mean, c'mon, the first time I posted something on here, it was amazing. A few minutes after I had posted it, I got a comment! It is just so different than what I'm used to(aka-fictionpress.com). I love it here. The people just have so much in common with me, since they obviously like to write as well. It's a great breath of fresh air.

12. What got you into writing?

Neopets. Can you believe it? God, it was so long ago.. I started role playing in the forums when I was ten(with Seria, mind you), and just couldn't stop writing after that. It's just too addicting.

13. Do you have a friend here that you really, really love?

I love everyone. I thought I'd already told you that! I can't hate a person, it's just not like me.. I can dislike and be mad at a person, but not hate. No, though, there's no one on here(yet) that has astoundingly made me love them even more then possible. ^-^

14. Does your writing seem to effect the people around you?

When they look at it, they seem to like it. My dad hates the whole days I spend just in front of my computer screen, typing my summer weeks away. I wish I had more free time to write. Maybe that should be the question; whether people effected my writing. Yes, they do. They keep me way too busy to get to it most days. School does, as well, but that's another story.

**15. Why do you write?

I have so many answers to this question that I barely know where to start. It gives me an escape from reality. It lets my imagination make something useful. It's one of the only things that I'm told that I'm good at. It gives me a lot of different perspectives that I can use to think through situations in the real world. It lets my crazy, unneeded emotions flow into something that isn't as damaging. Last, but certainly not least, is the fact that writing is what I'm going to do for money when I get older, so preparing now is the key to my future success and source of food.
