Here is the interview that I had with Nocturnal Emissions, she has a few good fics out but nothing like Midnight Caller and Involuntary Rapture, there has been a lot of people who have criticised Noc for her writing of that particular fic, I am in the middle of reading it, and yes, it is extremely dark and yes, I have occasionally struggled to read it, but I am so glad that I continue, because it is amazing and is deserving of all the amazing comments it does get. Links have been included below for those of you who would like to read IR of MC
Me: What started you off writing in the first place?
Noc: After I read Twilight, I just wanted more. I found twilighted.net, and then ff.net. I read a bunch of great stories, but it still wasn’t enough so I started to write. I found Nyddi (N. Isabelle Blanco) and I let her read two chapters of what I wrote. She really liked it and convinced me that people would like to read it. I was hoping for ten readers. I’m so excited that I’ve exceeded that. I’m about to hit two million reads on TWCS. People are probably refreshing the page over and over just to boost my numbers, but it still feels nice :)
Me: If you could be as good/ famous as any author in the world, who would it be and why?
Noc: Dr. Seuss—who doesn’t love him?????
Me: What's your favourite book/ piece of FanFiction or both?
Noc: I really love the Twilight books. I have a few favorite FanFiction stories. One I love is Dirty Dancing with the Devil Herself by JayJay Hale. (I would love to message her if anyone reading this knows her Facebook name or email address)
Me: What would you rather read, romance/ horror/ thriller or suspense/ psychological?
Noc: Romance :)
Me: If you could drive/ fly anywhere in the world, where and why?
Noc: Perth Australia to see my girl Bec. She is so amazing and I just can’t wait to be with her.
Me: Is there anyone in your family who knows you write, if so, who?
Noc: Lots of people know I write, but I haven’t let any of them, besides my husband, read what I’ve written. My sons sometimes help me with plot (not the lemons of course), and they helped me write a one shot I put out last month. They were very excited with how it placed in the competition.
Me: What are you working on at the moment, FanFiction or an Original Fiction?
Noc: I am working on rewriting Midnight Caller so that I can write the sequel. It will be an original fiction when it is done.
Me: Have you published any work yet, if so, what? If not, do you plan to publish anything?
Noc: I do plan on publishing Midnight Caller, as well as the sequel. I also hope to publish Birthday Spankings this summer.
Me: Your house is burning, you can only take 3 things with you, what would you take? (everyone is out safely, so no need to save people)
Noc: My computer, my hard drive, and my black shawl that Bec sent me—it smells like her.
Me: Which could you not live without, your mobile or your laptop?
Noc: That would be a tough choice. I couldn’t live without my phone because I’m not allowed to take my laptop to work with me. If I didn’t have to go work, I wouldn’t need a phone.
Me:What was the first thing that you ever wrote? What made you write it?
Noc: The first thing I wrote was Involuntary Rapture. I am still working on it. I wrote it because I loved dark stories. I love stories with happy endings, but where the character’s have to struggle to get there. That is what I’m hoping to accomplish with Involuntary Rapture.
Me: Have you ever self-published anything as opposed to going to a publishing house direct?
Noc: I plan to self publish.
Me: Family Guy, The Simpsons or American Dad?
Noc: I’d rather not watch any of those.
Me: What's your favourite food? Why?
Noc: I love ice cream. Who doesn’t love ice cream?
Me: Do you have any advice for aspiring authors? Any words of encouragement?
Noc: Don’t be afraid to try. Write what the voices in your head tell you, and get yourself a great beta!
