AHHH, so what can I say? Ummm... hmmm...
Ok, you know I like to feature fav authors here, on the blog, and I do my best to give my readers a mix of the "big" authors and the lesser known ones.
SO today my treat for you is this:
TaraSueMe agreed to give Molls and me an interview. Molls has a SERIOUS love of all things from the Domward Trilogy!
And me? Well. you know me! LOL
This interview was done before the flood that devastated Nashville, which, BTW, is Molls' home
Molls would have liked to have done the write up about this story, but over the last few weeks she has been busy, not only cleaning up her own home, but helping out her neighbors and town. So I get stuck doing an inadequate job so to Molls, ILY, and to Taram I wish I could do better. I know Molls would have done something spectacularm but I will give it the old College try!
I was introduced to Domward by Molls, way back when. FOR THOSE who have not read this trilogy of fics, they are:
The Submissive : the story from Bella's POV
The Dominant: the story from Edward's POV
The Training : the sequel to the sub/dom, which goes into details about how these two now will navigate their lives.
Like I said, Molls told me (ordered me) to read it. I was floored by this fic. It was one of the first fics I had read, and since it was a very popular fic it became a sort of canon in fandom (Hannah: AKA fanon), which other authors have tried to duplicate.
I think the most fascinating thing about this, is the big difference between the POVs. You MUST read these stories in order to get the full effect. In The Submissive, you think that Edward is in control. However, when you get to The Dominant, you get to see that things are not always as they appear.
As with many stories, this trilogy is not for everyone. And you know what? That is OK. If looking into a dom/sub relationship is the kind of thing you are interested in, then read it and remember to leave lots of lovin'.
Now, onto our interview with tara (and watch out for the surprise in the middle LOL)!
To try to make this more readable, Molly is my friend, Molls also known as Anomolly.
In this chat, I am ME.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Molly : Did you send me the questions yet?
sheesh? I gotta do everything?
me: yes you do you are not just a pretty face
Molly : sure I am
me: OK a pretty face with great tatas happy now
Molly : indeed!!!
tara sue me: Hey!
me: HEY!
Molly : I'm sooooo excited Tara!
at this point I learned that Tara and I have something in common she also has issues with spelling those of you that know me and Molls know that this is something Molls LOVES to tease me with ..I felt so vindicated LOL
(here we gave Tara the link to our Qs)

(here we gave Tara the link to our Qs)
me: If you do not like a Q feel free to refuse to answer I am so laid back I am barely conscious
Molly : Or you can channel Domward and let him answer squee teehehe
me: oh I would have different Qs for him
he is all Bella all the time
I think i would wanna meet him before that
but I am a weirdo
tara sue me: You'd want to meet him before he met Bella?
me: YUP
Molly : HELL YES!
me: he is committed now
and would not play
tara sue me: Ah, gottcha.
me: YEAH
I mean now he is all nice and rehabbed by Bella's love and everything
I like my guys messed up
LOL
again I am weird
not for anything long term
Molly : I can't believe that people were actually thinking he'd share. Srsly. They must not have been reading the same story as me.
me: I KNOW!
tara sue me: IKR?
me: I knew he would not share back in the Sub
well back in the Dom
tara sue me: I'm like, dude, have you not read anything?
me: not the sub
he was WAY too over his head in heels in love with her to ever share
and at the core he is selfish in that
Did they read The Dom?
but that would completely change his core character
So long as he does not turn out to sparkle I am OK with it
me: WELL that is good to know
cause that is ONE of the Qs
tara sue me: hee hee no sparkles.
SCORE!
me: shimmer?
LOL
Glisten?
Molly : ILY
me: Keep it up I will make you edit this chat
LOL
ILY too
Molly : You know I will anyways cause well, I'm a fucking anal perfectionist like that
(For reasons outside her control Molls was unable to edit this chat so SUE had to forgive me for any mistakes)
Molly : Soooo, Tara. Thanks so much for doing this interview with us. I'm sure you know I'm probably Domward's number 1 fan next to Floridachickie

1. What was it that gave you the ‘spark’ for your story? Was it a picture? A moment or event? Can you remember the initial inspiration?
tara sue me: well, TWILIGHT Edward always seemed to be a natural Dom, so I went looking for some BDSM ff and found very few.
I've written my own Original Fiction before, but had never written anything smutty, so I said to myself, "why not?"
I'd always wanted to try my hand at smut.
me: DANG
and you do smut so well!
tara sue me: blushes Thanks.
Molly : Indeed, you do. I can't tell you how many pairs of knickers have been ruined thanks to you & Domward.
me: You may or may not know it but MANY new authors refer to The Dom or The training for ..well tips
tara sue me: So people have told me, it makes me blush more. I mean, I had to force myself to type, "cock" the first time.
me: LOL
tara sue me: Do it, tara. Do it.
me: I am a hoor so things like that come easy
as does the innuendo
sorry I am really a 12 yr old at heart
2. Do you have a particular process when it comes to your writing, perhaps a certain mood, environment or music? Do you have any ‘triggers’ to get you in the writing mood?
Dude, Tara has been known to write whilst one of the little ones was in ballet class or something, right? I know I don't have it completely correct, but I remember that from sometime last year.
I can make it work
Somethings, though, you have to force yourself to do it. Butt in chair = wordage, you know?
As for research, there's actually not much BDSM in The Submissive. But I did some reading before and while writing it.
MsK has been a HUGE help and I"m not lying when I say I couldn't do TD or TT without her. She's always quick to offer advice, answer questions or tell me when i've written something unsafe.
Molly : I miss circle time.
tara sue me: Me, too.
Molly : Yeah.
That's how she named me Cum Suck Fuck CSF for short!
tara sue me: HEe hee hee
me: and you call ME a dork
Molly : bite me
me: where?
LOL
(Question 3 was left unanswered because we decided to talk about the Superbowl)
(Question 3 was left unanswered because we decided to talk about the Superbowl)
Me : We'll just talk SUPERBOWL instead
As you know my hubs has read your body of work
he is a HUGE fan
and he is upset that it is end of the month and he cannot be here for the interview
Molly : Cause I am still determined to have a Monday night game at LP Field and pull off a reenactment!
tara sue me: Do it!
me: he was all fangirly this mornin and everything
So Hubs' comment was you made his desire a trip to see a Super bowl even more
and he is a HUGE Football nut
did it occur to you while writing that the impact it would have on others?
ALSO
did you think your series of fics would be as popular as they are and become a part of Ficdom canon
tara sue me: I never thought they'd have such an impact, i'm still blown away.
me: I think it was Domward that won the Favorite -Ward in our ficdom poll
I know someone was stuffing the ballot box...
Molly : (I may or may not have a little something to do with that.)
tara sue me: before TS, I'd written three stories or one shots that received very little response.
me: IT really has become it's own canon
tara sue me: And TS was really a way to stretch myself and see if i could write smut.
Never did I expect the response.
me: I like seeing the growth of your writing through the 3 fics
you can see the refinement in each story
tara sue me: Thank you, that's so encouraging to hear.
I really have grown more comfortable with my writing voice over the last yerar
4. Do you picture particular actors for your characters, or are they someone else entirely? If so, who?
THe face is rather vague at times.
sorry
Or colin. slurp
OH I think I know the one
From Cannes?
I didn't even think about looking in my PB!!!
That photo slays me because he looks so much older
*Edward clears his throat from back of the room*
*Silence*
Tara: I’m not interviewing you today.
Edward: I know. You haven’t interviewed me in months.
Tara: I’ve been busying writing.
Edward: *nods to Sue and Molls* I see that. Lots of writing happening here.
(SUE and Molls sit in stunned silence)
Tara: *mumbles under breath*
Edward: Stop it, Tara.
Tara: You have a reason for being here?
Edward: I wanted to pass along some important information to all the blog’s followers.
Tara: *waves arm* The floor is yours.
Edward: Molly lives in the great city of Nashville, which as many of you know was devastated by flooding. For her birthday (May 18th), she organized a fundraiser and made over a grand for flood relief!
This is where I ask that you all try to help.
You can go to the Red Cross, Hands On Nashville or The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to donate.
REMEMBER, a donation does not have to be big to make a difference. Do what you can, 50 cents, a dollar, 5 dollars, whatever! Just do something and leave a message letting Molly know that is what you got her for her Bday.
Also, another great idea has come from the Fandom to help relief efforts, check out Fics for Nashville
Molly: Thank you so much for that Mister Cullen. You can bend me over and spank me any time you'd like. *wink*
Edward:*smirks* Ladies *he turns and leaves*
Sue: umm wow umm yeah WOW
Molly: *picks panties & jaw up off floor*
Now that I've had a few minutes to collect myself, let's move onwards...
5. I know we're closing in on the end of the series, but is the story all planned out or do you do it as a fly by the seat of your pants thing?
tara sue me: I always, always, always plan and outline FF. It may just be a word, chapter 30 in TS was "turpenitine".
But when you're posting as you write, you need an outline so you have a known arch and you get done what needs to get done.
NOw, having said that, TS 18 (the piano) was never in my outline, but it fit, so I added it.
It's hard knowing TT is ending. I could write forever, but it needs to end. Nothing should go on forever.
me: Something funny about Turpentine, as you know people keep using that when they have a bad day and they have had enough they yell out Turpentine
hubs got a flat tire
and he looked at the sky and yelled TURPENTINE
cracked me up
oh well carry on
"I call turpentine."
Speaking of funny stories real quick...
OK, so I admit to being a facebook/twitter stalker in advance...
Saw you had commented on twitter to somebody 'bout something, don't even remember what, now... Anyway, clicked on her (tarasueme - cute name) then on her fanfiction site. Have just finished reading her Edward & Bella Dom/Sub story. Holy shit!
Ok, so it's probably a little creepy/stalkerish how I got to her stuff, but I'm glad I did. You have cool friends.
back when we were in the BBR
she is bossy like that
so I had an excuse
I read the Dom cause I LOVE EPov
when done well
6. Have you got any other projects going on? Any planned for the future?
THen I decided to try writing smut and Twilight universe worked well.
I stay because I think we're all fabulous people. I never expected to meet and make the friends I have. It's been awesome and humbling.
I'm horribly insecure about my lemons, but i think that comes from writing and rewriting nad rewriting. But, my confidence is grwoing.
Lastly, I've always known I was a sparse writer, but I"m growing more comfortable with that as well. It's my voice. It's me.
(that I know of)
I keep the extent of my obsession fairly quiet.
she does not read it
for me to print out for her
she loves romance stories
but not sex
she said sex is for one thing
making babies
she is weird
tara sue me: Not really. Bella is a lot more confident than I am and she's more outspoken
Not so much Domward either.
In that i'm not a male and not a Dom in any way, shape, or form.
A lot ot accept.
It's hard for me to keep up with twitter sometimes.
<<< Likes plot with her smut, thankyouverymuch!!!
he polished off the sub in an evening
then did the Dom the next night
he is a VERY fast reader
13. Which RL author(s) inspires you?
She's the only author I'll say that about.
THough I have to tip my hat to Stephenine Meyer, since I've been borrowing her characters for the last year and a half.
Her characters are great, that I can say for certain.
14. Did any FF authors inspire you? What was it that had you reading FF and thinking “I could do this”?
tara sue me: Not really. I used to read a lot more fanfic than I do now. I'm really ashamed to admit how little fic I read.
I know there are a lot of great writers out there.
15. I know we've taken a lot of your Friday morning, so let’s have some fun. What would your porn star name be? That’s the name you get when you combine the name of your first pet with the first street you lived on – Me, I'm Dumplin East Lake.
tara sue me: Excellent, send me the list.
Oh, dear. I'm Buffy Wood.
tara sue me: Uh, I play the saxophone.
17. If you could have 15 minutes with any Edward, FF or SM's, which one would you choose and what would you do?
(If you do not LIKE any of the Edwards, feel to substitute an actor here. Rob, Kellan, PFach or Jackson)
(If you do not LIKE any of the Edwards, feel to substitute an actor here. Rob, Kellan, PFach or Jackson)
tara sue me: Impossible to pick just one. What an evil question.
But then there's Rob. . . .
Oh, hell, I go back to my original answer - EVIL QUESTION.
and I let her
but I like to cheat
LOL
We'll let you have 3
Or not.
hmmm
would this be like lady tater's teas with Rob thing we used to do at the blog?
LOL
TASTY
(that is Pomme De Terre)
we call her tater
18. What is your FanFic Pet peeve?
- Abuse fics. Especially ones that pretend to be BDSM.
- characters that act out of character and
- Stories that are too long. It's hard for me to take off my original fic author hat and original fic is supposed to be between 80,000 - 120,000 words.
Fandom petpeeve- the drama. It's fanfic people.
Molly : A to the everlovin' men!
and not be taken that seriously
when it stops being fun walk away for a while
Let's see.
20. I want to be a published author when I grow up.
My momma would be proud.
I say the things other dream of !
LOL
you love bass players though!
and he was a tall drink of water
WOOOHOOO
he almost tripped over me
cause I am short
YES Molls I am talking about YOUR Bass player
the one I would have chatted with for you
but you told me NO
mutual admiration society
ummm
I did not take any pictures
and very polite
he patted my shoulder and said excuse for almost trippin on me
(At this point, we once again wondered off topic, discussing the merits of bass players. Then Tara had to leave our chat so she could get back to work before her laptop battery died. There was lots of mutual love and affection and thanks etc.)
