What’s the story about Olivia having a child with Jake, but she leaves him for Fitz. Also, Jake has some type of personality disorder (Antisocial Personality disorder, I think).
Each week, you will be introduced to several Olitz fanfic authors, who will share thoughts on various topics such as writing, personal favorites, advice, and of course, Olivia & Fitz.
This project is a fun way to get to know your faves who make our days exciting with their stories.
Previous Weeks: Week One, Week Two, Week Three, Week Four
Featured Authors: MzMocha ( @artsychica2012), Jen (OliviaLovesFitz8), Olitzalltheway ( @olitzalltheway1)
How do you describe your style of writing?
Hmm... lyrical. I love me some prose, the rhythm and cadence of a well turned phrase. Nothing makes me happier. And layered – I write what I love to read, stories with sub-plots and plot twists. - MzMocha
Direct and meaningful. There's always a reason for everything I write. Intentional. - Jen
I don't think I have a style yet. I have 2 stories with angst in them, I like those quit a bit. My favorite FanFic author is The Purple Pineapple, she is the queen of angst. - Olitzalltheway
Favorite vacation spot:
Anything with a pool or ocean. - Olitzalltheway
LA? I do not believe I've found it yet. - Jen
Any beach will do. - MzMocha
Do you incorporate visuals, music, and/or poetry to help you get into the writing mood?
Sometimes if I hear a song it make me think of them.. but nothing particular. - Jen
I have music playlists, both on my laptop and those I've created on YouTube. - MzMocha
No. - Olitzalltheway
Describe yourself in 5 words/phrases:
Leo with Leo Rising... creative to the nth degree... Child of God, Momma, Auntie, Sister, Daughter, ...happily addicted to Tony Goldwyn. - MzMocha
Mom. Sister. Stubborn. Honest. President and founder of Horse Rescue United. - Olitzalltheway
Child of God, Caretaker, Family oriented, Determined, Different - Jen
Favorite Olitz TV moment/conversation?
One Minute... also the "I trust you/He is not wrong" fight in the Oval. - Jen
The Trail. I think it's when they where most true to themselves. And of course, I loved Vermont. - Olitzalltheway
The Rose Garden – “I belong to you” The raw emotion coming from Kerry/Olivia and Fitz/Tony Goldwyn literally took my breath away. - MzMocha
Favorite TV shows/movies
Scandal, Orange is the New Black. I also liked The Tudors before. - Olitzalltheway
Scandal, Grey's Anatomy, Game of Thrones, American Gods, Firefly, The West Wing, A Different World. Movies – the nerd in me lives in the MCU – the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Can't WAIT until Black Panther comes out! Beauty Shop, The Best Man, Just Wright, Dreamgirls, The Five Heartbeats. - MzMocha
One Tree Hill, Scandal ; Crazy/Beautiful + About Time- 2 fave movies - Jen
Outside of Olitz, where do you get inspiration to write?
The people I'm around, especially children. - Jen
I like going to the beach, it gave me the idea for a future chapter in one of my stories. - Olitzalltheway
I started off reading General Hospital fanfic until I felt the inspiration to write my own. I was lucky to have come across a fanfic board that encouraged writers, with forums with a lot of how-tos and I was hooked. When one of my fics turned itself a novel [Dangerous Liasions on FFN under my MzMocha pen name], it inspired me to try my own with original work, in which I write soul & sword fantasy. I used to draw a lot and the research I would do on my artwork started giving all kinds of ideas and one day I opened a notebook and started to write it all down. In 2008, I discovered Nanowrimo, and I've never looked back from there. - MzMocha
Anything else you’d like to share?
I hope the fanfic authors keep it coming, especially with only 1 season left of Scandal. - Olitzalltheway
I want to say thank you to all the readers who have left me so many great reviews on my fics, they really make my day - and don't forget to check out my Olitz videos! https://www.youtube.com/user/mzmocha123/videos - MzMocha
I'll be updating Love and Freedom very soon. - Jen
