Woohoo! xP Finally updated, lol.

~`~`~Story~´~´~
Komoda2000 has a winning streak! Her third featured story in a row, Too Many Answers has gathered many fans thanks to its prequel, No Answers. This exciting story, about a young couple with magical ancestry, is definitely a must read.

Interview:

What was your inspiration for TMA? How long have you had the idea?
Well, my inspiration for the first story, No Answer, came from a daydream I had about a guy and a girl who were the last people on earth, basically. But once the first story was done, I wanted to write another... So I basically just cooked up a plot to explain why it happened and I'm using that plot for the sequel. I guess certain elements of it were inspired by the Night World series.

I've had the idea for the whole thing in general since summer... But the new fantasy aspect to it was only thought up like a few months ago.

Was it fun to write the story? How easy was it?
Well, it's pretty fun at times but I'm suffering from writer's block at the moment. -.- Though, usually it's generally easy because it's kinda my laid back story.

Why do you think other members like the story?
*shrugs* I guess it's getting plottier. And it has a few mysteries in it that have yet to be solved. Twisted Evil

What's your favorite part of it, personally?
I enjoyed writing the legend about Kayda and Josh's families. So I guess that's my favourite part at the moment.

Second runner-up: Friendship is Stronger Than Ice - Dragon Lover

~`~`~Poem~´~´~
It All Started With Life is an amazing piece by The Mad Hatter. You're sure to love the beautiful darkness. x3

Interview:

What was your inspiration for IASWL? How long have you had the idea?
At first, i didn't really understand what my inspiration is for. Sometimes I write stuff in my stories and poems, and then don't even realize what they mean until after something happens in my life. Well, that was the case for this one. My friend, Victor-- something very terrible happened to his best friend a few weeks ago [even though it feels like it's been longer]. I'd rather not say, but if you put two and two together, you can pretty much guess what happened to his friend.

Was it fun to write the poem? How easy was it?
It was pretty easy, did some word researching and stuff- oh, and listening to a lotta Imogen Heap. nod

It was fun, actually.

Why do you think other members like the poem?
I don't know. o.0 *insert dramatic chipmunk music here* Most of the comments say that they like the little bits of writing at the top at bottom, so I'm guessing that. [xD]

What's your favorite part of it, personally?
The last part. nod

IDK where I got it from, it just came to me.

Second runner-up: Force a Smile - Dragon Lover

Second runner-up: Love Truly Academy - [Strongly]*Emo*tional

~`~`~Member~´~´~
It be . . . Ave and myself! Very Happy

Whoo! (Don't cheer for me, cheer for Ave. xD) Ave is a wonderful writer here, especially of poetry, and I'm . . . well, me. evil

The ultimate ruler. (Just kidding. rolleyes

)

Interviews:

Ave's:

Why did you decide to join TWG? How did you hear about it?
I actually was wondering what this one site was called, it was a site kind of like Twig, but I had forgotten the name. I thought Shadow owned it, so I PMed her on WI, and she gave me the link to this site. It wasn't the site I was looking for... though it's so much better. Very Happy

How long have you been writing? What attracts you to writing?
I've been writing for as long as I can remember. I love writing because... I don't know, it's just fun to create your own story and make it all yours. I know it sounds corny, but it's true.

How did you choose your username? Do you have any interesting nicknames?
I had a roleplay character named Ave for a while, and then on DSRP, I made it my username. So when I made my second account on WI after I had requested my first to be deleted, I made my username Ave, and that's what I've been known as ever since. It's a bit plain but I love it anyway. nod

What was your first composition?
I could never remember.

What's your favorite color, and why? Favorite animal?
Favorite color? I've never been able to decide. I like anything... though I think that deep, midnight blue and dark red are really pretty. And as for animal, I'd have to say mountain goats.

What kind of music do you like, and why? Do you have a writing playlist?
I love anything, really, except for a few Disney Channel artists and such. And yes, I do have a playlist, full of Jem, Muse, Rascal Flatts, and Lady Gaga. xD

If you owned the site, what would you change and why? What would you keep the same?
I wouldn't change anything. I love TWIG the way it is. Smile

Shadow's:

Why did you decide to join TWG? How did you hear about it?
Well, once upon a time, a girl named Stephanie had a dream about the creative writing section of WebkinzInsider being more teen-friendly, rather than kid-friend . . . and thus Twig was born.
Dudes, I know that's kinda a different question. xD But it's the best I can do.

How long have you been writing? What attracts you to writing?
I've been officially writing since I was eight; I wrote random little stories before then, like for school, but that was when I decided to try writing outside it. I wrote a little fanfiction about American Dragon: Jake Long, the original version of Misplaced. After that I didn't do much, but once I started working on a story to hopefully publish on Powerpets, I never really stopped again. x3 I love that when you write, you can be anyone and do anything, even if you just want to be in the same life you have now. There's no end to the amazing freedom.

How did you choose your username? Do you have any interesting nicknames?
It's very literal . . . Shadow was my first dog, and while I originally used it as my Neopets name when he was still alive, I made a vow to always use it after he died so that I would remember him. nod

Sometimes I use shadowsown88 instead, if the site in question won't let me do shadowsowner888. And, eight is my favorite number.

I have a ton of interesting nicknames. Muffin is one given to me by Mousey, for no particular reason; I got Ado from Komoda after I called her Mo, which came from the middle letters of our names; TT called me Addy as a variation of that, Emz calls me Shadowsky, and I've also been called Jacob, Pootnic, Poppet, and Cheese . . . there's even more, but I'll just name one more - Kumori! Very Happy

Really I just gave it to myself, and I've never ever been called that, but I think it's a beautiful name. It's Japanese for 'shadow.'

What was your first composition?
That American Dragon fanfic. It was horrible! Really bad. xD I hate the quality. But at least I was able to recycle the plot on Misplaced, which I don't think turned out too bad. ^^

What's your favorite color, and why? Favorite animal?
Dude, dark blue. Very Happy

It's amazing. So beautiful. And, my favorite animals are dragons . . . they're so amazing. They can fly, they're powerful, and they're beautiful . . . it seems I like beauty. xD

What kind of music do you like, and why? Do you have a writing playlist?
I like all kinds, literally, but I find that my favorites are alternative punk. xD At least, that's how I define it; songs like Stella or Thnks Fr Th Mmrs. I do have an inspiration playlist, but I haven't been able to use it much, thanks to the tiny amount of space left on my iPod. Razz

If you owned the site, what would you change and why? What would you keep the same?
Dude. xD Seriously?

Second runner-up: rattyjol
