CareMarie: Tell us a little bit about yourself:
Pixiestick-cc: Married, mother of two, originally from Alaska, now living in the midwest. I love to write, although I find it hard to write my own fiction. I can write about my life … thus the reason I have a blog and also apparently I can write fanfiction – CHIC can attest to that.
CareMarie: How did you get introduced into Fan Fiction?
Pixiestick-cc: Books and movies have a tendency to draw me into their world (as any good story should). I love it so much I have to continue on, I have to know more about the characters and read more about their experiences. I remember when I was younger knowing about fanfiction. I was part of a 'Hey Arnold' (remember that cartoon?) community online and knew that others on there wrote fanfic for that show, but I never read. I was though aware that such a thing as fanfiction existed. Then a very good friend of mine posted a link to a Jasper/Bella fic in her Live Journal in 2008 (a few months after I had devoured the Twilight Saga books) and I clicked … not really knowing what to expect. Once I started reading I couldn't stop and thus began my life in fanfic.
CareMarie: Do you remember the first story you read?
Pixiestick-cc: Yes, it was the story my friend posted in her journal - 'When Darkness Turns To Light' by Janna Banana. It never occurred to me before that Bella could be with anyone else, but Edward. After finishing the story I couldn't imagine her being with anyone, but Jasper
CareMarie: Is there a story behind your pen name?
Pixiestick-cc: Not really. It's the name I have used for almost all my online sites since I was a teenager.
