<lifeisstrangemetoo> I like "She says the smell of death turns her on" the most

<cmd102> Question from poppymoonray : Several of your stories feature a character named Marla. In your mind, is it the same Marla, or different ones?

<lifeisstrangemetoo> Different Marlas, but with similar personalities

<cmd102> Question from cmd102 : You're offered $10,000,000 to rewrite the Twilight series. Do you do it? What changes do you make?

<lifeisstrangemetoo> Of course I do it.  But I haven't actually read it, so I'd probably just rewrite it with a lot more erotica and instead of edward I'd make the love interest a billionaire who's really into s&m
<lifeisstrangemetoo> And also I'd make him a horse like in Bojack Horsean.
<lifeisstrangemetoo> Look out for my upcoming novel 50 Shades of Neigh

<cmd102> Question from poppymoonray : Follow-up: You mentioned you're a big Chuck Palahniuk fan. Are the Marla's directly inspired from his writing?

<lifeisstrangemetoo> Yes, they're pretty heavily inspired by the Marla from that book.
<lifeisstrangemetoo> The entire point is just a personality of someone who has absolutely no regard for what other people think of them, and does outlandish things just because they feel like it
<lifeisstrangemetoo> So it's also heavily based on someone in real life

<cmd102> Question from cmd102 : You're trapped in a dungeon with a sadistic killer. He informs you that he plans to torture you for 1 hour before killing you, and that you can choose the method of torture and how you will die. What do you choose?

<cmd102> Question from poppymoonray : Which one of your stories was your favorite to write? Which was the most challenging?

<cmd102> Question from Polar_Starburst :  what's your creepiest experience, paranormal or otherwise?

<lifeisstrangemetoo> hm

<lifeisstrangemetoo> I can't think of any specific examples, maybe because I'm not very easily creeped out.  Sorry, I know that's pretty lame

<cmd102> Question from cmd102 : Some of my favorite stories that you've written have a good mixture of horror and humor in them. Why do you write horror-comedies? Do you approach those any differently than when you write a story that's strictly horror?

<lifeisstrangemetoo> I write horror comedies because I'm a really shit horror writer
<lifeisstrangemetoo> Comedy is much easier for me to write, especially if it's dialogue heavy, because it's difficult to come up with a concept for an idea that is truly terrifying and revolting and then execute it
<lifeisstrangemetoo> Besides that, I think there is room for comic relief in any work of fiction
<lifeisstrangemetoo> uhh, does that make sense? Ｉthink so.
