INTERVIEW
(SCROLL DOWN FOR SEQUEL INFO)
Questions (for clarification or just simply want to know.)
Some of these questions have been private messaged, on reviews, or on AIM. If you have any questions based on the story or my opinion, feel free to ask.
Q. From anonymous: Was it an accident when Mathew kissed Natalia in the first chapter?
A. Well, I wish I could answer her question by message, and quite frankly, I'm not sure if she's still reading my story. The answer to that question comes in from chapter two and three. Two explains that he's autistic, so that's just a note that there must be a disorder with him to do so. In chapter three, Lily (the old lady), explains to her that he needs comfort and it's kind of like his idiosyncrasy – he kisses people for comfort.
Q. How does Talia travel around place to place?
A. It's funny how she's probably the only one who voiced it. Talia's friends and places that she goes to are very close to her (except for her school, as mentioned that Robbie became her driver.) So basically Talia would walk. Like me, I have a couple of friends that are a mile away from me, I still walk for the sake of seeing them, and Robbie's house tends to have that...mile distance between them – also the fact that he lives near the school makes him angry that she wants him to drive her...
Q. Is the sequel based on Robbie? The title is, Bribing the Queer. It must be him, right?
A. Yes, it's all about Robbie and someone else (preview will come soon.)
Q. Will the sequel be in Talia's point of view?
A. No, it will not. It's someone else's p.o.v. and it's not Robbie's.
Q. Who are the main characters in the sequel?
A. Sleelecch, I love you, but be patient. No, I'm just kidding (it's fun answering your questions), the answer to that is Robbie, Talia, Chase, and possibly other new characters that might be created.
Q. In chapter 18, Talia says she loves Mathew, but in chapter 19, she says that she can't love because she thinks it's a curse, that makes no sense.
A. In a way, yes, it makes sense. As stated in chapter 18, she keeps on saying that she doesn't mean it the way she's saying it – at least that's how she thinks. And also, Talia really did mean that she loves him. Remember, this is first person point of view and when it's first person, it's not always factual. First person is based on what the person is thinking at that time and that's exactly what Talia is doing. She's in denial, but she wouldn't admit that she does love Mathew that way – like you said, she's afraid of the curse.
Q. Who do you think is a perfect match to Talia?
A. There are two. I think Mathew and Robbie are just the ones for her. Robbie originally was not gay, but then I thought that this story is based on accepting the world around you, so I thought it was a good idea to have him be the one. I also had my doubts on both of the characters. I thought Robbie was too perfect and way too friendly, and Mathew can't support their future. Then I thought Chase and he seems to be pretty cool to have ended up with Talia. Didn't turn out that way either, because he's too immature and Talia is as well – you see the chaos?
Q. In private message, you said there were two endings. What are they?
A. The original ending is not the one I posted. This story is supposed to be humor and if I posted the first one, well, I should change the category to angst. The epilogue that I posted up is the second ending – enjoy and love it, because that's the one I'm sticking onto. As for the original...Talia heads out of New York to the college of her dreams. That also leaves Mathew behind in NY, and he soon moves to Pennsylvania with a new tutor. It ends when Talia and Mathew write by mail. Well, this was how it's like:
Dear Mathew Robinson,
This is Talia! Remember me! I hope so...it's been so long and I finally found where you live. I heard that you have a tutor now. If she is ever mean, I will go to Pennsylvania and butt kick that woman. (Yeah, still the same Talia.) Well, just to reply to your question that you're going to ask, I'm doing fine. How are you? James and I are still going out together – we met at some bizarre circumstance. We're planning to marry if we live together a few more years. We even mentioned about children! I said to him, "If we have a son, we are so going to name him Mathew." Yup, after you! Hmm, I think that's about it. Well, study Mathew and good luck!
Sincerely,
Talia.
To Talia,
I have been doing well. Tutor is really nice to me. I am happy Talia is happy. Sad because Talia I love you. Do not change.
Love me,
Mathew Robinson
Pretty sad, right? That's why I didn't post it because if I did, they would have never ended up together and Mathew still loves Talia until that time.
Q. Another private message, you said that IPOHW is going to have sequels, tell me more.
A. Well, the main title for this "series" is called World Endeavor. The first series is called I'm Part of His World and that deals with disorders. The second series is called Bribing the Queer and that deals with orientation. I'm not sure if I'm going to create a third series, but if I am, I would like to have some ideas that the world should improve on – can't be fantasy though. I was thinking probably if someone is impaired with something; probably hearing, touch, sight, etc.
Q. Is "improving" the world the main point of these stories in the series?
A. Yes, it is. At first I thought that was just a stupid idea, but then I thought that it's brilliant to write something on that. It's also not a document entry, so it doesn't have to be boring. The story has a sense of humor, but I'm improving on stating the main point – you know, pointing it out. I'm Part of His World was written in a way that I thought, maybe I could really improve on. That's why I'm going to show my improvements on Bribing the Queer.

Author interview from SleeLeech.
Before starting the interview, I thank Sleeleech for the support ever since I was using Quizilla. She stuck with me when I first posted my first story (that was a fanfiction), on a website. I was young and new to the whole idea and she guided me throughout those times – even till today. She's also known as XxlightCresentmoon87xX on Quizilla and has been making me banners for many years. So what exactly do I do for her? I update my stories and talk to her a lot. One day, I wish to meet her in person, because literally, she's the bomb! Thank you Sarah, and now I shall be harassed by your questions.
Many of these questions are based on IPoHW
Q. Hi! How are you?
A. Haha, I'm doing fine...do I have to post this as one of the questions?
(I'm sure you see the outcome...)
Q. In IPoHW, who is your favorite character? Why?
A. Mathew, because he's my first character ever created to be cute. My previous characters are all serious.
Q. I see the difference between your tragedy stories that you wrote before compared to this funny one. Was it hard to write?
A. Yes it was at times, but then no to others. I'm pretty emotional most of the time so it's hard when I'm trying to write humor. It's also easy to write because Talia thinks a lot like me: we're random, weird, and I have to say I'm dense sometimes.
Q. If you can date one of your characters, who would it be?
A. I'm laughing. Okay, I think I'll respond to this one. I'd say Chase. I love guys with dimples and the ones that look between the lines of punk/basketball player dress wear.
Q. If you can improve on one thing, what would it be?
A. Extended vocabulary. I'm constantly looking at the thesaurus when I'm writing stories. I need major improvement on that. I also wish to work on my grammar, but you said only one thing, so I can't say I want them both.
Q. You said that most of the scenes in this story are based on experience. Do you usually write from experience?
A. Well, I used to write fanfiction and those were not based on experience. I'm still pretty new to writing original stories and I'm noticing that I am writing mostly from what I encounter in life. So I have to say, most of the time I am...
Q. I just can't get it out of my head. Did your friend really throw condoms at you?
A. They were in a box. RiteAid's condom box if I remember clearly. So yeah, threw them right at my face and said: "Have safe sex, Rebecca!"
Q. Do you still go by your pennames?
A. Not anymore. My pennames used to be Jennifer and Rachael. Rachael was used barely and I was mostly called Jen. I don't know what changed my mind to show off my real name, but yep, I don't go by them anymore.
Q. What do you do with people that give you nice reviews? People who flame?
A. Well, good reviewers, I would leave them back a nice review – my usual, "Thank you for reading; I'm so happy, etc." And for flamers, I still do the same. If they're being rude, it's their problem. Also if they do tick me off, I give them a nice reply, but you can clearly see my sarcasm – that's my extreme. At other times, I just pretend dumb for their liking. I never bash out on flamers, but they should know it clearly upsets me...especially the people who just say that my story sucks and does not give me supportive evidence of why so. So clearly I think they're naïve. I also add them to my THANKEE list just to show that I don't care if they leave a nasty comment for me again.
Q. What idol(s) do you think are hot?
A. What the?! This is a very random question, Sarah...do I have to answer?
Q. What singer, actor, etc, do you think are hot?
A. ...Okay. Um, I guess I can't let it slip by. (-.-) My first real idol crush would have to be Orlando Bloom. I never liked Brad Pitt (like Talia), so we're very different. And currently, I'm in love with McFly (The UK band.) I think all the McFly guys are hot, but I think Danny is the hottest. I also like Nicholas Tse (he's a Chinese actor/singer), and yeah...Good enough for you?
(STORY OUT 5-27-08!!)
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Warning: It's slash between Chase/Robert. I know some people aren't fond of the idea with M/M stories (and trust me, I've been through that phase before), so I have to kindly say that, this story ends here for you guys. And for the people that love slash, welcome to my first! And just to not scare people's pants off, I have no idea how far I'm going to make their relationship.
(Literally, I'm horrible or embarrassed to write make-out/sex scenes.)
(And just for the people who have no idea what IPoHW is, but wants to read my sequel? Have no fear, you don't have to read IPoHW before reading Bribing the Queer.)
Bribing the Queer
Summary: Talia is getting at it with Mathew and Chase is a little jealous. A little, you have to be kidding me?! Okay, okay...so Chase is really jealous. So what does he do about it? He goes to the extreme by begging Robert – the queer guy – for help. Despite the fact Robert is Talia's friend, he'll do anything for Chase - for the sake of revenge. But oh-no, it's not just some friendly community service we're talking about here. Chase is gonna have to pay (big time for annoying Robert.) A deal for a deal...like an eye for eye.
Preview Chase Andrew Asher's Tale:
I have no idea what the hell we're doing. Just a minute ago, we were having a serious conversation and now I'm pushed down onto my seat. Rob's hands are gently stroking my hip and I don't stop him - am I seriously turning gay? I couldn't answer my own question when Rob is fucking snaking his hands around my backside and sqeezes my ass, causing me to jerk up, touching his body now.
Before I even know what I'm doing, I link my fingers behind his neck and brings his lips to mine. He's extremely gentle, but I'm way passed that stage. The only way to make him open up for me, is to grab his sex tool. He immediately gasps from my touch and I took the opportunity to slide my tongue into his mouth. Hot damn, I think he's actually moaning.
I push myself closer and I feel...I feel a fucking erection! Just for that fact, I'm snapped back onto Earth and I'm thinking, what the hell am I doing? I use my hands to push him off of me but it doesn't work. Maybe if I stop thinking, I can probably live up to this sensation again. I leave my hands hanging on the side while he devours me with his mouth. I can't believe I'm getting turned on by this...oh my God.
His hands go to the side to pick up my own, but somehow I hear a clicking noise and the whole passenger seat falls down onto a lying position. If I look at us in a different angle, I might think it's funny.
His leg is on one side of me and the other one is still near the driver's seat. His hands are spread out - it makes him look like superman...a superman that looks as if he can't fly because his eyes are wide from shock. I'm sure my eyes are as wide as his, but my position looks like I'm stating, "Ready to get raped any minute now..."
"Fuck! What - I mean, I'm sorry," Robbie stutters.
"Yeah - no shit."
He doesn't say anything and gets as far away from the passenger seat to driver's. Shit! I didn't mean it that way. I mean, it did feel kind of nice, but it's still sick to make out with a guy. Crap! Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap!
(Abridge version. NOT EDITED.)
- Taken from a random chapter. I wrote this in front of 7-11 when I was finished with my Spanish Midterm and I had to walk home. Guess I was inspired when I saw two guys get out of a car - but I think they're brothers/friends/ or something...
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
.: Okay, so I'm Part of His World (IPoHW), has ended and I still can't believe it did! This happens to be my quickest written work yet and also my first original ever posted. Stop the clapping, friends, yes, this is my first! I'm pretty shock from the reviews I got from the past and so happy to see that someone new adds me onto fav. story list, alert, or fav/alert author at times. I became so proud of my work, I think I'm going to cry.
So who exactly supported me(?): My cousin (When-I-see-You-I'll-edit BETA editor), my friend Vi (I'm-Too-Lazy-I'll-Edit-Soon other BETA editor), and of course my readers and responders.
Well I'm not going to make any more sappy comments (save it for the EMMY's award - hey that's my cousin's name!)
So just incase I don't start to dwell on an idea very long, I'm going to talk Caveman.
Sequel. New. Idea. Now!
Yes my fellow friends, not only is it new, it's also from a new point of view! -Drum roll- It's Chase's! Surprising? Yes my darling, it is.
Achievement: I'm Part of His World • First quick, finished, original.
Goal: Bribing the Queer • First slash.
: O Oh my!
