Hello guys! This is part of IAmDawnDagger's prize for winning third place in our Oneshot Contest. A special interview! Congrats to IAmDawnDagger for her awesome story!

1. Why did you enter the contest?

I entered the contest because I had nothing better to do and loved the fan fiction, and Silentpaw, so I just started writing!

2. How many other contests have you participated in? What kinds? (Art, writing, etc)

Um... Tons. Actually, they were all writing contests! ^•^

3. How did you come up with the idea for your entry?

Well, I wondered what it would be like to really get into Silentpaw's head and look at his childhood and why he was so quiet, so I went from there!

4. Was there anything that inspired your choice of topics?

I always love quiet characters and back story, so I went from there.

5. Did you enjoy participating in this contest? Why or why not?

Absolutely!! This was such a complex yet simple contest, it was challenging and fun all at once! There was a simple prompt and you really had to think about it to write!

6. Was there a certain part you struggled to write in your entry?

The hardest part was probably wrapping it up. I knew where I wanted to end, but I wasn't sure exactly how to wrap it up in a crisp, clean way.

7. Was it easy for you to take the characters and mold them into your own story?

Yes! I actually do this a lot so it was really easy. They're good, developed characters anyways so they were easy to mold (in a good way)!

8. Why do you believe the WattyWarriors admins chose you as one of the winners of the contest?

I don't really know... Maybe because I showed such eagerness and am following in the crazy grandma smashing footsteps of blazechicken?

9. Is there any Warriors book that you have written? If so, is it about, and why do you think it will interest readers?

Well, I wrote one a couple years ago but it sucked! So, I created a new one based off a couple characters I made that I plan on posting up soon.Its about a clan cat, a rogue, and a rogue turned clan cat. They all have a special ability and have no connection with each other except a vague prophecy they don't know is there's.I think readers will enjoy it because of the very different point of views, the complex storyline, and just the over all character of each cat.

10. Give a message out to your fans, friends and those reading!

I love you all! Hugs and nose rubs for all of you! Stay fabulous like warriors or whales (or warrior whales!), and praise WattyWarriors!! Bai!
