Disclaimer: I endeavor to make my fics as non-descriptive as possible, because I think seeing yourself in writing is one of the most important things as possible. Therefore, I don’t really have a picture in my head of what Nora looks like. I chose a photo/model based off of the few descriptors of her that are in the story (hair, eye color, moderate info on body shape) but this is in no way the only person Nora could look like. If the Nora in your head looks different, I love that! In fact, send me who Nora looks like to you. All the Noras are loved and welcome in this space, no matter their size, shape, color, ability, or background. <3 I also altered this to make sense for Nora, since she’s a student still!

VOGUE’S STUDENT SERIES: NORA TATE

1. Are you working on any current projects in your career or for fun you want to talk about? I’m still in school, but I’m starting to plan out my senior thesis right now and it’s really exciting. The current plan is to explore Gender & Sexuality in East Germany in the 1970s--I’m diving into the research right now and loving it so far!

2. What is your biggest dream? Honestly, I have no clue. I think it would be to be happy in my life, no matter where it takes me. I have a billion different careers that interest me, but I have a feeling I’ll land somewhere in the start-up world, because I love fast-paced environments.

3. Do you have a favorite place to travel to? My heart belongs in Germany, where I studied abroad. I’d go back in a snap.

4. What is the coolest thing you have ever done? I definitely haven’t done it yet, but so far, travel. It’s my favorite thing in the world and I can’t wait to do more of it! I’m planning to do a big Italy trip for graduation with my boyfriend and our friends.

5. Who are you closest to in the world? My best friend, Maddy. She’s the best human being in the world.

6. What is one product you cannot live without? My bra. I hate that answer, but it’s true.

7. Is there a film/book/show you always recommend to others? There’s this movie called Like Crazy that is the most beautiful and heartbreaking love story of all time. Everyone needs to see it in order to understand love, I think.

8. What is the hardest obstacle you have ever faced and how did you overcome it? I had a really horrible ending of a relationship in high school that has definitely left some scars. My ability to trust and let go with people has been particularly affected, and it’s only been recently that it’s been getting better.

9. Close your eyes. What is the most peaceful/comforting place you can picture? Describe it. My boyfriend’s bed--god this is so not interesting, I’m so sorry. It’s just that he has the best bed in the world, and even though it’s in a frat house, it’s one of my favorite places on Earth. I could stay in that bed for days.

10. What is your favorite type of weather? Definitely rainy. I love cuddling up in a big blanket and reading a book or just scrolling through Wikipedia for hours while it’s pouring rain. It’s also a great excuse to listen to depressing music, which I’m always trying to find an excuse to do.

thank you @theothermanfic for tagging me in this!!!! love u + ur fics so much xoxo

Rules: Make a Vogue magazine cover of your tagged character, answer the interview questions below from their point of view, and tag some characters/authors you would love to see answer next! Don’t be afraid to double tag authors with other characters from other fics.

I loved this idea that Van had on hers so I’ll add it here: Since a lot of my fav writers do reader insert MC, I’m gonna add a little addendum and tag some Harry characters for GQ! (So same idea, just GQ magazine instead of Vogue)

I tag (and sorry if you’ve already been tagged!!!): @meetmeinfleetwood @bfharry @smokeinherperfume @theasstour @stellarboystyles @hsogolden @majorharry @detroitkiwis xoxo love y’all!

To read Nora’s story, read TEMPTATION here!

11/11/11 Tag game

Tagged by @souliloquyyy

Rules: Answer 11 questions, add 11 questions of your own, tag 11 people.

Thank you for tagging me! I’m not much of a writer when it comes to actually writing(I just like to think of plot points in my head, write the chronology down on wikis, etc, but never get around to writing them into an actual book), so some of the answers might be a bit… lacking, but what the heck, it looks fun so let’s go!!!

1. Who’s the first OC you remember creating?

I don’t remember her name, but she had short pixie cut of a black hair and blue eyes. She was a bit of a tomboy, and she was a huge dumbass whose problem solving skills consisted solely of running headfirst, full speed ahead, to said problem. That being said, she was very skilled at what she did and she did her job well. She carried about the same energy that lots of big dogs, especially golden retrievers, have.

2. What’s your favorite genre of music?

I like listening to Rock, although I can never tell its subgenres apart(the sound of booing and “faaaaake faaaaaaaan” can be heard from a distance)

I also like K-indie music and sappy love songs, so I guess my tastes vary a lot!

3. What was the plot for the first story you ever wrote?

The very first? Er, you shouldn’t expect much in the plot department, because I wrote these two stories when I was 7 or 8. One was the standard fare about princes and princesses, in which a princess was cursed and had her identity stolen by an evil witch, so she had to break the curse and prove her real identity to her court. One notable thing about the story was that the princess ended up giving her betrothed prince the boot for being fooled by the witch, and moved on for someone with better facial recognition skills.

The other story was about a group of astronauts who, while exploring an black hole, fell through an wormhole and ended up in the Cretaceous period(I was a nerdy kid). Their goals were to survive, gather resources, and find out a way to return to our modern age. I got around to the part where they adopt a baby dinosaur, then lost interest in the story around then.

4. What’s a line from your current WIP that you’re really proud of?

This was written in Korean, so I have no idea how it’d sound in English. It’s part of the internal monologue from a rather hamfisted supervillain-wannabe character, so naturally the writing itself is a bit hamfisted, but I think it fits her character.

She would envision, then, making an incision on this society’s facade, and showing the filth and rot within. Lift up the rotten log, and watch the bugs scuttle about. She would be the cut to drain the puss, so that the skin can grow again. She’d be the flood. She’d be the storm.

5. What’s your favorite part of writing a book?

For me it’s thinking up of the characters, hands down. I just like giving them their own skills and quirks, and I immensely enjoy(almost to an unhealthy degree) giving them flaws. In fact, usually my first step in character creation is to give them each their own tragic flaw in the literary sense. Coming up with their backstory and seeing how it shapes their future decisions is pretty great, too.

So yeah, I really like making characters, and lots of my ‘writing’ are just excuses to see them come to life.

6. If you could sit down and have coffee/tea/whatever with one author for an hour, who would it be?

Agatha Christie. I just really love her. If I could keep her brain in a jar to make her write new stories, I would. She truly is the one and only, the irreplaceable, queen of crime.

7. If you have more than one WIP, which two characters from two of your own different WIPs would you want to set up together for a blind date?

Tasha and Patricia would be good for each other, if not for the fact that Patricia is happily dating in her own canon. For hilarity’s sake, I think it’d be fun to put Jiye and Ezra in the spot, and watch them try not to kill each other. They’d feel this instinctual, mutual hatred the moment they see each other, and their egos are too big to let that slide.

8. If you had 24 hours to do absolutely anything you wanted, free of charge, what would you do?

My first instinct was ‘space travel’, but those usually take more than 24 hours, sooooooo…. I’ll take the next best thing. Jet ride to statosphere. I’d hire a pilot to fly me 20,000 meters up in the air, and admire space and Earth from there. Then I’d pay back my student loans, buy something really nice for my family, have a really extravagant dinner, and donate to a charity or two.

9. If one of your characters had 24 hours to do absolutely anything they wanted, free of charge, what would they do?

Jiye would use that to buy equipment and infrastructure to further her world-domination plan, and get herself a nice secret lab.

PyeongHwa would use most of that money for his family, then grab a superhero’s fan-meeting ticket for himself.

Micaiah… surprisingly has not much of a want for material things, or rather, her problems aren’t something money can fix.

Khyrim would spend the day shopping for trinkets, clothing, musical instruments and other frivolous things he couldn’t spend on normally.

Patricia would make a donation to the orphanage she grew up in.

AJ would just want a nice day out with his ‘Uncle’, poor kid.

10. If you could steal an OC from any Writeblr and put them in your own WIP, which OC would it be? (Credit the Writeblr you stole them from, please. And don’t actually put them in your story without the Writeblr’s permission!)

I don’t actually follow ton of writeblrs, and while I do know some great writeblrs with great ocs, I’m not mutuals with them so I feel too shy to @ them. So, I’ll just skip this question.

11. What are you doing right now to pursue your passions?

Not much, sadly. If we’re including passions other than writing, I’m trying to get in my studying habit.
