I cleaned it up a bit and made it make more sense ((fix spelling errors too))
This is an interview I did for the forum I go on - AarinFantasy. I'm an author there ((meaning I just post my stories there)) and they have interviews they do. I was lucky enough to get one, so here we go! So all my readers can learn a lil more about me =]
BG = Bloodygem ((the interviewer)) SY = synnesai ((me))

Welcome to Aarain Wirter Interviews again!
This time it's the Queen of KH!
The one and only Synesai!
BG: alright then frist qestion how old are you?
SY: I'm 18, going 19 in may
BG: what was the first thing you wrote or oral story told?
SY:The first story I wrote was a fanfic. It was a fushigi yuugi fanfic.
That's when I first even realized that fanfics exsisted!
That was back in 7th grade - so long ago!
BG: How has your writing changed since then?
SY: Oh wow...haha, well, I was very bad with grammar and spelling, I think I still am...but I definitely improve there...or so I hope. Haha. Uhm, I think I gotten a lot more eloquent too; word savvy and such. But I still have lots to improve on.
BG: Let's talk about fandom you're a huge KH girl (as am i) what about KH compels you to write fic?
SY: Well, I guess it's the fact that there's a lot of hints that I saw. With the first game, Yaoi didn't even cross my mind till I played it again. I thought it was sad how Riku and Sora got split up and so...my brain clicked. Then with the second game, fans got more things to work with. Like the dealings with the "heart" and "nobodies"...it was a very ambiguous subject. So, that brought a whole new depth to the stories that would come from writers of the fandom!
BG: Also i find there is a lot of...fun to be had there Roxas. He's a very complex person; who is he really? I think the truth lies somewhere between his cold org personality and his TT sweet dazed personality ..what's your take on Roxas?
SY: Ah...Roxas...Yeah, he is a very colorful guy to be sure haha. Uhm, the difference you see of him, when he is in the org and when he is in twilight town is very different! I felt so sad/bad for him when he had to disappear! I thought that it was very messed up that he had to...sacrafice himself for Sora. You know...? And leave his friends, both in the org and in TT, behind. But I think that you can do a lot with him. You can make him with Axel, sad and tragic, or with Sora ((in my case)) bitter and sarcastic, his character can go either way. All in all, I really like him. There's just a lot to work with with Roxas ^^
BG: I concur he's a lot fun to work with.
SY: haha yeah he is xD the funny thing about axel/roxas is that - I hated them as a pair at first
BG: why was that?
most pll think they are perfect
SY: Haha, well, at first I hated Roxas in as a whole! xD I thought he was a wanna-be Sora and stuff and that Axel and him should just be really good friend...but I think mostly because the first 6 days was HORRIBLE! xD But...when I played the 2nd game again...I was watching the part where Axel disappears and it just CLICKED! I was like "OH MY GOD! AXEL AND ROXAS SHOULD BE TOGETHER!!" haha. Sometimes it takes a 2nd time
BG: where do you get your ideas form?
SY: The majority of my ideas come from the songs I listen too. In fact...all the stories I am writing now are all derived from songs! xD Songs and real life experiences, I try to put my own experiences in a lot of my stories ^^
BG: What bands help you write?
SY: Haha, well...I listen to A LOT of different music...from Japanese Pop, to Korean Pop...to American songs...I can't narrow any bands down...but I have used Namie Amuro...Ayumi Hamasaki, Paulina Rubio...The Cat Empire...a lot of this and that, bands no one has even heard of probably haha
BG: Why yoai what about men in love appeals more to you then man/woman?
SY: Er...hm...I think...because Men/women is so typical, it's written everywhere. Men/men is so taboo, so I think I just like writing stuff that would freak out the person walking down the street.
BG: so do you like being a rebel?
SY:For the most part...yes. But I'm too shy and modest to be a full on rebel...but I have my moments
BG:In 5 words sum up yourself
SY:I'm not what I seem
BG: good one
BG: are you seeing anyone?
SY:that's a hard one! Haha, I would say yes I am
BG:ohh ...why is it hard to tell?
SY:It's difficult to explain...haha. It's sorta you have to live my life to understand
BG:tell me a little about your family
SY:Well...My mom is vietnamese and my dad is hmong. A lot of people will ask "What is hmong?" and all I can say is "Google it" x3 I have a lil sister who has axel/roxas on her cell phone as a wallpaper...and...that's about it haha.
Oh yeah my lil sis is 9
BG:ha ha my lil sister makes jokes about tieing up her bf and busting out kinves and candle wax...and she's 15
SY:Haha yeah, but I hope it's not bad she's already getting to know yaoi xD I think it's a rather good thing...but that's just me haha
BG: How do you feel about fans?
SY: Well, my readers...It's pretty awesome to have people read my work. Whether it be my fanfics or my original stories. It's encouraging and it's awesome when I see the same readers in different stories. It means I'm doing something good! I really love all my readers...they're part of the reason why I write...it's pretty cool to be called "a great writer" and "I love your work" and stuff. It's very flattering and...haha, so I keep trying to push out even better stories for them and myself
BG: Do you feel you're like the chars you work with?
SY:Oh yeah...a lot of the times, haha. I put a little piece of me in each character even if it is a fanfic. That way I can identify with the situation I put them in and know how to make them react. I think everyone puts a lil bit of them in any characters they write...just a lil at most haha.
BG: Do you want to be a 'real' writer?
SY:uhm...I'd like to try and do freelance work. My goal is to publish at LEAST one story ^^
BG:who do you admire as a writer on site and printed?
SY:On site? I really like orangeiwllow and miko's works. I was really impressed at miko's writting. She's very eloquent and Orange's stories are always so full of life and they make me chuckle. I was very honored that she dedicated a story to me ^///^
and real life...
Hm...well, I like a lot of authors...but I guess the usual anne rice, stephen king...my friend's told me I would like iris johanson ((was it?)) and dean koontz and james patterson...so I'll be looking into them haha...but...I usually dun look at author's THAT MUCH...unless it's someone I know I like...but I like to look at story plots too
BG:fave food?
SY:haha, definitely asian foods in general...and I have an immense weakness for mexican food and curry...curry and cheesecake...>.<
BG:curry cheesecake!
SY:who knows, that might be good
BG:or it might end the world
SY:it might xD
BG:Gem and Syn ending the world with unholy cheesecake
BG: What's your fave cuss word?
SY:hm...I dunno...I think maybe shit...or maybe "fucking shit!" i say that a lot...so I guess a hybrid of those two? "Fushit!"
BG:What do you want to hear God say if you get into heaven and there is a god?
SY:God...? Uhm...I dunno...I guess welcome...it would sort of suck if he just points and laughs at you and says "DENIED!"
BG:or wrose yet..."FAIL!"
God speaking in trendy talk gasp
SY: because you know...god is black...or a chick ((like in dogma! heart that movie! Dogma!))
BG: What pisses you off about yoai sterotypes and such that crop up
SY:Well...I HATE cliche after sex confessions...I hate when after they have sex they say "I love you..." - that just isn't real to me...I hate rape stories...unless it's part of the plot...like if they were in a gang - then ok...yeah, w/e...Uhm, I HATE girly men...may as well just written a hetero story...>.< I also ABHOR fanfic/stories with random japanese like "That is so kawaii!" and "You're such a baka!" it irks me to no end! I speak japanese ((5th year student)) so it just makes me twitch...I also don't like it when something totally random happens...like "Oh its the end...cool - NO WAIT! A METEOR IS NNOW HURLING TOWARDS THEM - THEY NEED SEX!" I just don'tunderstand that...OOC is fine for me because since it's a fanfic, it's going to be OOC anyways...^^;; but that's basically it...
SY: I'm pretty much fine with anything...just nothing too bizzare...haha ^^;;
BG:*sweatdrop* after sex confessions lol does it count if it's right before sex?
SY: haha no - that I can understand - but you dun wanna have sex and then go "Do you love me?" and then like my answer would be "SHouldn't you have asked me that BEFORE we had sex...?" - I mean, i dun mind it that much, but I just dun use it in my stories ^^;;; I would like to know before hand that the person loved me and then have sex rather than have sex and the person didn't love me...
BG: Anything you wanna say?
SY: ..sure ^^; thanks to everyone who reads my works. I know I'm not the best, but to those who stick by me, thanks a lot! It's you guys that make writing worth it! I hope to see you and new readers in my future stories to come! LOOK OUT FOR THEM! <3
BG: thanks for you time!
SY: I had fun!
