There's been an interview of LightningStrikeTC before, but we decided that we'd do another and new one for this magazine.

Lightning is one of our long-time admins :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. What's your name?

If you want to call me by my real name, just call me Ash
If you want to stick to Lightning or LightningStrike, you can go with that too :)

2. How would you describe yourself?

Eh I've had huge personality changes for the past few months. I'm very quiet, actually. But around people I'm comfortable with, I'm usually energetic and enthusiastic. I'm also very empathetic but I'm NOT sympathetic. I'm also smart....but I have A.D.D (attention deficit disorder) so it's hard for me to pay attention to things sometimes.

I also look at myself as the "humble one." I'M the one who finally got WW's previous admins to make up with Tiger lol. I resolved all our problems XD (but fire came back here because she wanted to, not because I asked)

3. What languages do you speak?

Aha a few :)

4. Have you ever been to a foreign country? Anywhere other than what you call home? If so, what are some interesting things you saw there?

Both Brazil and America are my homes....and there are lots of interesting things that would take me a long time to describe.

5. What is it that inspired you to write?

Cats xD

Actually, to be honest, everything around me takes my interest. I used to hate writing until I got in third grade and my handwriting became neat. Ever since then, I used to practice my handwriting in writing up letters, stories, poems and stuff. When I read warriors, I actually became a person with extremely high-level grammar use and I barely had any misspells in my writing projects for a girl with a young age. My English teacher even made me teach two classes about writing for an hour each.

So here I am :)

6. Why did you choose your user name on here? Does it represent you? Is there a story behind it?

Okay, so three years ago it all started. My warrior cat OC name is Lightningstrike, so I wanted to make my username on wattpad "LightningStrike." But wattpad wouldn't let me because there was already a LightningStrike, so I just added the "TC" part which stood for ThunderClan.

I see that TigerShadow used my idea too lol :3 I feel awesome inspiring others

7. How old were you when you took an interest in warriors?

The end of fourth grade, and the beginning of fifth.

8. What was the first story you've written that you can remember? Is it on Wattpad?

Yes. It is KIND of here on wattpad. It's called "Warriors: The Broken Path: Frosty Flames" but I HATE HATE HATE it. It was the most crappiest writing I have ever done because I was a little "eager" :/ if you want, you can read it to see what I am talking about.

But I prefer that you read "Icetail's Enemy" instead because that was the best Warriors fanfic I have ever written (and still currently writing) ever :p

9. Do you prefer to write your story on paper first? Or do you just go straight to the computer?

I write them on my hands, my arms, palms, my wrists or on paper if I don't have my laptop. If I don't have a pen or if my phone is dead, I would mentally write it and force myself to not forget it. But I most prefer to go straight to my laptop

10. How did you find Wattpad, and what is the reason you decided to stay?

Okay, long short story. It was three years ago, and I ran out of notebooks to write my "Warriors Fanfictions," so I asked my mom to buy another one (but I already had like a dozen notebooks -.-) so she told me no way. I got a little mad, but then I decided that I could try typing it. I searched on Google these exact words: Websites where I can publish and read books. And here I came to Wattpad lol.

And I stayed because I was amazed by the community :D

11. What is your favorite book on Wattpad, what is this story that makes it your favorite, and why would you suggest this book to others?

I DONT KNOW I LOST TRACK OF HOW MANY I READ DX

12. Who is your favorite Wattpad author in all of Wattpad?

@Tigerheart my love~ my one and only favorite author *wink wink* (lol TIGERHEART if you're reading this I AM JOKING XD)

13. How did you find out about Warriors and what made you stick to the series?

There was this kid in 4th grade who offered me to read a Tigerstar and Sasha book 3 manga, and I accepted it and cried at the end. I loved it, so I bought the first book to the actual series....but I did not read it because I was too lazy since it had no pictures. But in fifth grade when I transferred schools, nobody talked to me and everyone bullied me behind my back, so I got in this faze where I stuck to a little shell of my own. I decided to start reading since nobody would even look or talk to me, and at that time had fallen in love with warriors :)

14. What is your favorite scene from Warriors?

The part where Jayfeather breaks his stick. No, wait, NO. The part when Flametail drowns. Wait...bahh, I don't know. It has something to do with Jayfeather.

15. Who is your favorite character from warriors and why is this character your favorite?

Jayfeather :D I love him (but not more than @Tigerheart *wink wink* (AGAIN I AM JOKING)). I just think Jay's personality is very cool and that his decisions are awesome and I feel that he's the most important protagonist in the series other than Firestar for some reason.

16. What would your warrior name be and why?

Lightningstrike because I am as fast as lightning and you will never see when I strike >:)

17. What inspired your fanfictions?

My life. Yet again, remember when I said I was bullied in 5th grade and I had no friends? Well, since I had a lot of time on my hands because I didn't have to waist any time on people, I found Wattpad, like I said, and I really loved it. Erin Hunter inspired me to write all these things, as well as the other authors.

I felt like I was closer to users here than real life peers in fifth grade and I use those "topics" in my books....but now I have lots of friends I can count on, so I guess I can say I get less active lol

18. How many people do you know who also reads Warriors?

NOBODY. Except for my best friend, sort of. I gave her the first book a week ago, and now she says she likes it (I think she's on chapter 4 right now). She then says to me: "I think I understand why you like these books now."

19. Has anyone you've known in person made fun of you for the fact you read Warriors?

Everyone. Whenever I have a new Warriors book, this kid would say, "Ash likes to read about cats." Then, everyone teases me like: "WATCH OUT ASH WILL SCRATCH YOU!"

they even meow at me.

But I don't care because they say that they are joking afterwords lol.

They do worse to me but it's hard to explain xP

20. What is your favorite Wattpad fanfiction? Why and who is the author?

Tigerheart's first warriors book. @Tigerheart is the author. HE IS MINE NOBODY TOUCH HIM >:( (im still joking o.o)

Anyways, @LightningStrikeTC was my first ever account on Wattpad, and it has gone very far. I've never even changed my username, lol...but I had lots of fun on Wattpad. If nobody liked my stories, I don't think I'd be writing! Thanks for keeping my fuel going ^_-

(especially thanks to my one and only love, @Tigerheart)

Lol still joking

Anyways, thanks for your time.
~L.TC
