Prompt: First Interview
Want to share what you wrote for your Application Prompt? Reblog with your interview and we'll reblog it back!
During their first interview, the HR representative excuses themselves from the office for an emergency and leaves your character to their own devices. They sit in an uncomfortable wooden chair in front of a clean metal-and-glass table. One folder laid open in the center of the desk shows their own application and cover letter. Aside from that, there are three stacks of folders: The largest stack which seems to be the queue, a hefty stack of hot-pink sticky-noted rejections, and a thin stack of what must be approvals. Muffled yelling can be heard from across the hall as the HR rep apologizes, and it seems like it will be a while. Left to their own devices for minutes-turned-potentially-to-hours… what do they do?
Brinity will be on the today show tomorrow I can’t wait let’s go love island USA season 8
In my christ university interview today, the interviewer asked me about why its an eigenvector and not scalars (basically the difference between vectors and scalars) and I went on this whole thing about how vectors transform and have to follow addition, rotation and scaling laws in a vector field blah blah, when all I had to say is that vectors contain both direction and magnitude. (In the end, I mentioned it while talking about parallel law of addition so its ok ig). Anyway the interview went very well, in my introduction I told about how much I love physics, how I want to help everyone and take down oppressive structures and the Beatles and how John Lennon and Paul McCartney are really cool. 10/10 interview They didn't ask the famous "why christ?" tho 🤔
On Sunday, July 12th, at around 6:30 in the morning, I had the chance to interview the lovely @the-one-and-only-piper-offical.
Q: What is it like, msmrmx piper montgomery, being the ruler of the officalverse?
A: "Well its very hard work tbh when half the people don't really think you're a ruler and especially when @anonmous-offical exists."
Q:How difficult was the rise to power?
A: "The rise to power was. Decent. All i did was win a rap battle. A VERY HARD RAP BATTLE MIND YOU. AS A PERSON WHO HAS NEVER RAPPED BEFORE NOR LISTENS TO RAP MUSIC AT ALL. And uhhh there was this time around april-may when people decided to give me the Julius Caeser treatment and stab me (that did not end well for either side lol)"
Q: Do you feel that the people opposed to your ruling have good points? Why/ why not?
"It might just be my insanely Narcissistic personality but i feel like i am a good ruler. I give my subjects free ice cream. And I've legalized arson. What more could you want."
We hope to speak with it again at some point in the future! We thank her for her time.
Good Luck, Babe! Armand 1973. Lyrics under the cut
Just got done with the interview
I think i did good but i will find out in 1 or 2 days! :3
The First Interview I Ever Did As An Author
My dear Gentle Reader, this interview was conducted by Orbit in 2008 shortly after the acquisition of the manuscript, before Soulless released into the world.
Have you always known that you wanted to be a writer?
Actually, I’m still not entirely convinced I am one. I seem to have stumbled upon authordom inadvertently. I’m not complaining – never that – just startled.
When you aren’t writing, what do you like to do in your spare time?
Drink tea. Although, come to think on it, I do that while I’m writing as well. Truth be told, eating, reading, sleeping, and breathing occupy a considerable amount of my time (generally in that order and often all at the same time).
Who/what would you consider to be your influences?
Jane Austen, P.G. Wodehouse, Gerald Durrell, a tea obsessed ex-patriot British mum, years of historical study, and a lifetime of BBC Costume Dramas have all played pivotal roles in Alexia’s inception.
Soulless has such a clever melding of alternate history, romance, and the supernatural. How did you derive the idea for this novel?
I knew I wanted to write urban fantasy, and there’s one thing I’ve never been able to understand in the genre: If immortals were mucking about, wouldn’t they have been mucking about for a very long time? A speculation arose: What if all those strange and unexplainable bends in history were the result of supernatural interference? At which point I asked myself, what’s the weirdest most eccentric historical phenomenon of them all? Answer: the Great British Empire. Clearly, one tiny little island could only conquer half the known world with supernatural aide. Those absurd Victorian manners and ridiculous fashions were obviously dictated by vampires. And, without a doubt, the British army regimental system functioned on werewolf pack dynamics. Of course, as soon as I started scribbling away about a land of bustles and top hats, romance and comedy had to enter the fray. I mean to say: bustles! Then I tossed 19th Century science into the mix and realized that if the Victorians were studying vampires and werewolves (which they would do, if they knew about them), not to mention developing weapons against them, technology would have evolved differently. Enter a sprinkling of steampunk, and suddenly, I was juggling more sub-genres than Ivy has ugly hats! But then again, you can never have too many hats.
Do you have a favorite character? If so, why?
I’m torn between Professor Lyall and Floote. I have a little bit of a thing for capable and efficient gentlemen with quiet humors and calm dispositions.
What adventures can we look forward to seeing Alexia in next?
I shall say only: Alexia has always wanted to travel by dirigible…
Finally, if you had the opportunity to have tea with Lord Maccon, Alexia, or Lord Akeldama, who would you choose and why?
Oh, Lord Akeldama without a doubt. Alexia and I should never get along, we are far too much alike, and Lord Maccon hasn’t any manners to speak of. Now Lord Akeldama may be outrageous, but I bet he’s a charming conversationalist and he knows such fascinating things.
Yours,
Miss Gail
