What is your favorite LJS book?
Either the Vampire Diaries or the Secret Circle
Why do you like that book/those books?
I just loved the characters and the stories so much. And spending 3-4 books with them, I came to know them well and care about them. Plus I have some of the abilities she writes about in her books and they interest me. Plus I really want to meet a guy like Adam, Stefan, or Damon. Wouldn’t turn down a Matt or Nick either
Why did you choose the name Cassie?
I *am* Cassie. Cassie is the character I most identify with I also liked Bonnie from TVD and look like her with her red hair and all, but Cassie and I are almost exactly alike in spirit. And I think being in Salem helped me identify with her even more
Why do you like LJS?
Her stories deal with the things I am extremely interested in. I have always wanted to be a vampire *i have the teeth for it*, I do believe in magic and witchcraft. I do possess psychic powers. I can do some of the things Cassie, her friends, and Bonnie can do. Plus she is a powerful writer and her stories live in my mind. I have been inspired to write a story and bring back some of her characters. Maybe I will share some of it with you
What is your favorite book overall (of every author)?
Either something by Poe or Anne of Green Gables *yeah I know...eclectic taste* Or Witch by Mr. Tales of Terror himself
What character(s) did you identify with?
Cassie *because i have always felt like an outside looking for a place I belonged and because we possess certain similarities*,
Bonnie *the red hair, the Celtic ancestry, the love of mystery and "wanting to be young and beautiful in my coffin" JOKE*,
Faye *what can I say? i am a lot like Faye. I can treat people just the same as she does and do anything to get my way. Wait, Blaise sounds like this as well!*,
Janie *again that feeling of not belonging and having a certain secret that must be kept hidden cos people wouldn;t understand*,
Jenny * i have been known to follow the group and do what they wanted, like Jenny at first, but I have also discovered hidden strengths in myself*,
Kaitlyn *i do have that weird little dark blue ring around my eyes. but not as dramatic as hers and that whole outsider thing. Does LJS feel like an outsider you think?*,
Blaise *See Faye*,
Elena *that feeling of not belonging again, I am detecting a pattern here*
Gillian
Deborah *that tough facade, the not caring, but underneath being a warm person who stands by her friends*
Suzan *that ability to appear completely and totally ditzy but able to pull answers right out of the air, much to the amazement of all my friends*
Matt *the depression and not caring but having to do something anyway no matter what the world is like, plus I just loved Matt. "Matt," she said, lingering over the first consonant of the name."
What character(s) did you fall in love with?
Adam *he was just so wonderful. I felt like I was Cassie standing there with my soulmate before me* ,
Stefan *oh so noble and so loving and vulnerable*,
Damon *so evil but so sad underneath his strong front. He was never bad. he was just enjoying life when he was alive and stefan couldn't understand that*,
Julian *who didn;t??*
Charles,
Nick *the ice man turning warm. What girl wouldn't want to cause that?* ,
Matt *"But Matt--well, Matt's eyes are awfully blue." Sorry but Matt really reminds me of a guy I am crazy about, who doesn't know I exist.*,
Mostly the guys in her longer series, tho.
Claudia as a little sister type love.
Diana *how could you NOT fall in love with her?*
What character(s) did you admire?
Elena *the one everyone loved and my goddess, would you not like to be wooed by both Damon AND Stefan???*,
Diana *she was so good and so pure. She was an ideal I don't think I could ever live up to. Too much Faye in me*,
Melanie or Meredith *I felt they were the same character almost* *they were both so cool and calm and intelligent and capable*,
Stefan *so noble. so strong*,
Julian *he just has this way about him. I admire him what can i say?*,
Morgana Shee *she was Morgan LeFay. I love the Arthurian legends, Morgan in particular*,
Elwyn *oh she was just wonderful*,
Rowan
Who were your favorite couples?
Charles and Elwyn, Cassie and Adam, Elena and Stefan, Bonnie and Matt, Diana and Nick heheheh
What is your goal in life?
Well a few years ago, when I started the club, i wanted to work for a baseball team in public relations and work with my photography on the side, and who knows? At some point in the future I may actually attempt that again. However, my previous tries have failed and after running into other problems, I decided to pursue a teaching career, just like Ms. Smith! And my sister. :-) I am currently working towards my certification in elementary teaching. I would like to work with second or third grade but I'd be happy at whatever grade I am hired for!
Comments.
I am glad I got all this response about LJS. For a long time, I thought I was the only one who enjoyed her work. Certainly that was the case around me. So I thank y’all for helping me form the Night World online and sharing the work of a great author while making new friends.
