Writers asks: 3, 7, and 21

 I apologize for the lateness in this.. I literally fell asleep while writing this last night ahahaha 3. Give an overview/description of some of your past stories. (Only if you are willing, of course!) Hahahaha I’m assuming you want overview/description of Consumed by Shadows series right? XDD I’ll do that entire thing as a series and something from my way past. pffttt. Although I will omit Venomous Shadows since I am still working on it! WARNING! MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD FOR AT LEAST ONE OF MY FANFICS!

Consumed by Shadows Series; The Shadow Realm, Overshadowed Emotions: After the events of The Shadow War, Webby is struggling to come to terms with that Lena is gone forever. Also her strained relationship with Scrooge isolates her completely from the rest of the family. Feeling alone and grieving, a sudden spark of hope ignites her drive to search for Lena in the Shadow Realm, a parallel world on the opposite side of their reality. The triplets realize that Webby has vanished and try to figure out where she went, but are quickly found out. They all realize Webby has run off to open a portal to the Shadow Realm deep within a old temple in a jungle that holds a special Shadow Stone. They race after her only for all them to come face to face with Magica, the reason for all their swirling emotions. Flinging Webby into the Shadow Realm, she turns on the family and the fight begins with her newly improved magic thanks to the Shadow Stone. Webby finally finds Lena, but the happy reunion is bittersweet as the shadow magic from the realm infects Webby and begins to consume her. Racing against time, Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Donald, Beakley and Launchpad subdue Magica, only to realize that the portal has closed, the Shadow Stone with it. With no way to open the Shadow Realm, they resort to drastic means to open it back up, only to cause it to become unstable. Sucking in everything in its path, including Magica, Scrooge and triplets make a gamble, letting themselves be sucked inside, anchored to a rope. Magica confronts Webby and Lena, stealing the Shadow Stone and nearly destroying the kids. But Scrooge and the boys interrupt her, smashing the stone  and Lena, reveals a fact that none of them were ready for. She then turns on Magica and gives them time to escape with Webby. Heartbroken at losing Lena a second time, Webby swears to free her from the shadow realm, no matter what the cost. But how much will Webby risk to free her best friend from her prison? Also, she finally reconciles with Scrooge whom apologizes about his behavior on the Sunchaser, finally she feels like family again.

In Overshadowed Emotions, Webby is nearing her breaking point. Searching libraries, ancient texts, she consumed herself with trying to figure out everything she could about the Shadow Realm to free her best friend from it. When a transmission from Della suddenly is found, Webby listens in as Scrooge tells Donald. She is sworn to secrecy which does not go over well, as Dewey finds out that Webby is hiding something important from them all. They fight and Webby is driven into a corner. She has no choice but to tell them, but they fail to take it the way she imagined. Hurt because she lied to them, the triplets distance themselves just as Beakley decides the children need a break from being cooped up in the mansion. Meanwhile, Magica and Lena fight in the Shadow Realm, it looks like Lena will be victorious, but one split second later she is on the ground as Magica escapes from the Shadow Realm and Lena is left drained. The kids pile onto a plane that is sending them to a relaxing island to hopefully rekindle their broken friendship. But another fight and plane crash later (Not caused by Launchpad for once) Finds them scattered on a magical island not on any maps. Webby, injured finds the triplets only to realize they are being chased by the islands resident guardian golems. They take down all but one, that chases Webby to a strange temple. Inside lies a ancient god that was doomed to sleep forever. Until Webby touched her and broke the spell. 

At first hostile, the goddess turns on Webby, trying to hurt her until Dewey finally finds her, trying to protect her as he finds Webby badly injured from the battle and from the crash. After a brief conversation, the goddess, known as Whisp realizes that they aren’t her enemy. Admiring Webby’s pluck, she heals her wounds and grants her a gift. A spell designed to bring someone back from the Shadow Realm. But, she warns Webby that something must be given in exchange. Uneasy about this, Dewey and Webby leave and begin to finally talk and slowly begin to forgive each other. Once they meet up with Huey and Louie, Webby spends time with each of them and although tentative, they do forgive her for hiding something so important from them. At the same time Scrooge and the others back in Duckburg work on constructing a rocket to go up and save Della from the moon. But as it takes off into the sky, Donald at the controls, another cosmic storm appears and hinders any plans to explore further. Just before Donald crashes back to earth, they hear one last transmission from Della. Beakley finds out that the children didn’t make it to their destination thanks to Duckworth who had stashed away temporarily with Webby. Together, she and Scrooge take the boat, stopping to fish Donald out from the bay from the ejection pod and fill him in. They all meet at the beach, including Launchpad and Beakley, Scrooge and Donald. There’s a happy reunion and all leave the island, Webby now with a new mission in her heart.

But, as they arrive back to Duckburg, Webby is told by Lena in her shadow that she doesn’t have much time left. Breaking her promise to Dewey that she wouldn’t cast the spell, she sets up what she needs and begins it that very night. The spell rocks and destroys the house, awakening everyone. They rush to Webby’s room only to see her in the midst of the spell, shadows staining her arms and tears. The spell backfires just as Magica appears, intent on destroying them once and for all. 

Fighting Magica, the adults try to safely extract Webby from the spell but when a stray blast of magic hits her, the spell shatters around them. Scrooge, smarter than the smarties uses his wits and a magical artifact to banish Magica from their home. Webby doesn’t awaken. Louie feels betrayed. Della is still on the Moon. Lena is fading in the Shadow Realm. And Scrooge...for once is at a loss. I actually think thats all I will write for this LOL. I’m too tired to write another one right now XDD.

7. Favorite writers? Have they influenced you at all? Tamora Pierce, Kelly Armstrong, A ton of manga writers ( CLAMP, Arina Tanemura etc) I think the Manga writers influenced me more than anything. But Kelley Armstrong helped me to my sarcastic tone I sometimes have lol. I loved Tamora Pierce’s worlds and views on heroines. She was really my first writer that had strong female characters who didn’t need guys in their lives. The manga writers helped me form my worlds and characters..They basically told me it was okay to have broken, random, not perfect characters.

21. What do you think characterizes your writing? I’d like to say my diverse group of characters and quick and witty dialogue LOL. I just feel like my writing, even in my original works always seems more cartoony when written out. Can’t explain it very well. But one of my first novel attempts had that cartoony humor, slapstick a bit. I always include magic and more than likely will use female lead characters I wish to be rather than others. That being said, I’m amazed that I actually really like some of the guy characters I created. A perfect example is Zakir. He’s from my novel in progress, “Illusions Cove” And he’s a magician thief that doesn’t believe in the supernatural or magic at all. Boy.. is he gonna get a shock a little later in the story XD. I love his dry wit, his fearlessness in danger and freak outs over hearing his real name. He wants everyone to call him Arthur because he hates Zakir. It will be fun to write him as he progresses.
