Author Talk: Kerryyuy

1. Let us begin with a brief overview of yourself: where does your username come from and how did you 'stumble' into the world of fan fiction?


Initially, I had the username Kerryuy, which I chose because I was obsessed with Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing, and Kerry was my favourite name that I gave to my characters. However, I changed it to Moonwolfe because I am writing my own original fiction and my major project is a book called "Moonwolf", so I changed my username. As for stumbling into fanfic, I typed Gundam Wing into a search engine and it came out with . Out of curiosity I had a look, and I've never looked back since!




2. Why did you start writing fan fiction? Did you think that your favourite universes were lacking or was it all for fun?


I started writing fanfic before I knew what it was! I had an over active imagination and used to wonder what it would be like if I was a part of [a] show and in most evenings when I should have been in bed, I was usually pretending to act out scenes (I was only 9 at the time). I can't believe I'm admitting this! I guess you could say it was purely for fun!




3. Which universe is your favourite to write for and why?


Oh man, this is a hard one! I have to say that Gundam Wing is still my favourite, as each character is so drastically different to the next, so there is a very wide variety of stories I could write and I guess I can explore into each character differently. Supernatural is catching up very quickly though!




4. Okay, now I'm gonna make you choose. Which Supernatural story is best: Green Eyes or Stolen Innocence?


That is a very cruel question. I think Green Eyes has to be best, in my eyes - after all it was my first Supernatural fic and it had such an amazing response! It is my proudest piece to date on fanfiction, and I think it always will be!




5. Ha ha, Supernatural is fun to write for. Which direction do you plan to take Stolen Innocence in? Because I'd love to see Jayne go her own way for a bit and be a kickass hunter?


Sorry, I would love to tell you, but I'm keeping all plans shtum for now. Don't worry, Jayne will come out of her shell soon enough!




6. Dammit. I wanted to snag something good. Anyway, you're rewriting Green Eyes under the name Green Eyes: Take II. Why did you decide to rewrite it?


Well, initially, I had loads of ideas to put into Green Eyes, but in the end decided not to include them all. Plus, I had seen very few episodes of the show at that point, so when I got all the seasons for Christmas, I suddenly started seeing how much the story could have been improved, so after a lot of thinking, I eventually decided to go for it.




7. So are you gonna make Kerry suffer more this time round and tug at our heartstrings?


I'm not sure yet. Possibly. There are a few more Kerry/Sam bonding moments, and a bit more with her and Dean, but I don't want to give too much away as that will forever spoil my fun. And you'd probably not read it if you knew what was going to happen.




8. What are you better at: writing happy scenes or sad scenes? Lemme tell you, funny falls under happy, unless you're a sadist ...


I really don't know. As Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester - Supernatural) once said - "It's harder to act out funny scenes until you get into the right mood, then it comes easily. On the other hand, drama takes a lot out of you, but is usually easier to act out". I think that's my approach to writing a lot of the time.




9. Wise words from Mr. Padalecki indeed. Would you ever write a Twilight fan fiction? Would you change your mind if I threatened your life ...


Possibly, but only if it involved Jacob or Jasper... Don't expect anything any time soon though!




10. I'll be watching out for you now, Miss Yuy. Right, time to get nitty and gritty. Best fan fiction story you ever read and why?


It has to be Gundam No.5 by The Love Bug. It had me almost crying with laughter, and I've never heard mambo number 5 the same way since. Trust me. Read it. Love it! *Starts humming* A little bit of Heavyarms in my life...




11. "A little bit of Epyon by my side ..." What kind of reviews do you like and what was your best review?


I like reviews that, as well as saying that they liked the story, ask questions. This has helped me before whenever I've had writers block. I hate reviews that are just "Love It!" every chapter, in a high-pitched girl-fan voice. One word - annoying! I've had a lot of reviews that have made me smile for the whole day, but the best review I ever had is probably from MelodicMisery for Stolen Innocence - 


"...great update! She's back with her brothers, yay! lol. I loved the part with John. He's a good father, but he's stubborn. Still, gotta love him. ;) And I really love Dean and Jayne's relationship. I mean it's like they're really close, but Dean doesn't like to show it because that's just the way he is. And yet, Sam is the complete opposite, so I guess I love their relationship too, lol. ^_^ And the protectiveness over her is awesome. ;) Overall you write the relationships in this story extremely well. One of the best I've seen! haha. ^_^ Loved the update! More soon. :)."




12. You do realise that was a trick question and you shoulda said, "why, all of your reviews are my bestest Kirsty!" Humph. Fine, what are you reading at the moment and why? Would you recommend the stories?


At the minute I am reading a lot of Ouran High School Host Club fictions. I watched the anime on YouTube this week and it rekindled my love of the show - especially the twins! I would definitely recommend these fictions as they are so light and fun, perfect for a little pick me up!




13. Right. Do you get the writer's block and what do you do when you fall into its trap?


Yes, yes, YES. I have it big time at the minute. I know exactly where all of my stories are going to go and how I want them to end up, but the journey getting there is a hassle, and I go through stages where I update about 5 times a day, then suddenly for a month or so I have no inspiration and before long I get people shouting at me to update. When I fall into the trap, I usually start watching TV and reading other peoples stuff to kick my butt in gear. Failing that I write my own fictions to get the creative juices flowing.




14. Hm, sounds yummy. You are definitely a well rounded writer, with 14 different fandoms under your belt. What won't you write for?


Naruto. I hate the show, and always have done. I will never write for it. Also, I would never write Yaoi. As much as it can be somewhat entertaining to read, I physically could not see myself actively writing it. I write some lemons, but I get quite embarassed when friends or family read it, so I tend to try and stay away from that too if I can (linkkinparkk: He he, sounds a lot like me!).




15. Finally, do you have any other stories lined up in the wings, other then the highly anticipated next chapter of Stolen Innocence?


Yes, I do have a few stories. I have a Supernatural story that you already know all about, hehe (linkkinparkk: me and Kerryyuy are working on a Supernatural collaboration together that you will hear more of later), and I have another Tekken story. Also, will be dipping into previously unchartered territory and writing a story for Ouran Host Club, but first I want to complete a few more stories before attempting any more fics.




* Sounds fair. I know I have plenty of stories that need finishing before I get carried away. Well, it was great talking to you Kerryyuy and I must say that you can hold onto your secrets like no one else!
