I would like to thank @leaalda for making these amazing banners.

This is an effort to spread the word about all fan fiction writers in our little fandom. If you would like to be featured or nominate a writer, please contact me. Please reblog this post if you can and check out some of @wheninriverdale work!

1. First things first, if someone wanted to read your stories where can they find them.

My archive page is here and my tumblr masterlist is here.

2. Tell us a little about yourself.

My name is Renee. I’m 23 and still fairly new to the Riverdale/Bughead family. I love to talk, there are times when I never shut up. I am casually engaged to my best friend and I have two pet cats: Minerva and Cheeto.

3. What do you never leave home without?

My phone.

4. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Definitely a night owl. I hate waking up in the morning. The first thing I do is daydream about going back to sleep that night.

5. If you could live in any fictional world which one would you choose and why?

Without a doubt, Hogwarts or anywhere in the Harry Potter wizarding world. The staircases move, the pictures talk back to you, there are trolls in the dungeons and merpeople in the lake. Who wouldn’t want to live there??? (Also I’ve got my eyes on Ron Weasley, step back Hermione).

6. Who is the most famous person you’ve ever met.

Ha. Ha. So I used to be obsessed with a boyband a.k.a. Big Time Rush. And I spent a shit ton of money to meet them live a few times at their concerts. I’ve hugged Kendall Schmidt and Logan Henderson multiple times.

7. What are some of your favorite movies/TV?

TV: Boy Meets World, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl, The OC, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Nashville, Stranger Things, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Baby Daddy, Reba, RIVERDALE, The Simpsons, Bobs Burgers….I watch a lot of TV.

Movies: 10 Things I Hate About You, anything by produced by Nicholas Sparks or directed by John Hughes, Coyote Ugly, Shawshank Redemption, The Great Gatsby, The Titanic, La La Land, Forrest Gump, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.

8. What are some of your favorite bands/musicians?

Pvris, Taylor Swift, the 1975, A Day To Remember, Paramore, Lindsey Stirling, Dan + Shay. Basically anything but rap (unless it’s Eminem – I gotta represent Detroit lol).

9. Favorite Books?

The Martian by Andy Weir, the Harry Potter series, Night Road by Kristin Hannah & Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. I’m very intrigued by dystopian/utopian novels.

10. Favorite Food?

Stew (my mom makes it and its AMAZING).

11. Biggest pet peeve?

People who don’t use their turn signals.

12. What did you want to be when you were little? What do you want to be now?

When I was little I want to be an author…or a meteorologist. Now I am an accountant but I still want to be an author. My biggest dream is to get something published (gotta love pipe dreams).

13. What are your biggest fears? Do you have any strange fears?

I’m afraid of the dark. I’m also afraid that I can’t have kids. I don’t know what it is, but I just have this gut feeling that I can’t have children and that terrifies me because I love kids.

14. When you are on your deathbed what would be the one you’d regret not doing?

Honestly, I don’t know. As of right now I don’t have many regrets. I’m still young, I’ve got a lot of life ahead of me.

Okay… lets talk about your writing!

15. Which is your favorite of the fics you've written for the Bughead fandom?

I have a new story in the works called Concrete Dreams and I’m so excited to share it with everyone. It’s like a modern day fairytale and incorporates a lot of different disney plots into the story but its also completely original. I’m in love with it.

16. Which was the hardest to write, in terms of plot?

Right now After School Special is the hardest for me. There’s a lot I want to happen but I can’t quite wrap my head around how I want things to happen. It’s been a struggle.

17. How do you come up with the ideas for you fic(s)? Do you people watch? Listen to music? Get inspired by TV/movies?

Definitely music and movies. A lot of my one shots are based off songs and my multifics are loosely based off movies, I feel like.

18. Idea that you always wanted to write but could never make work?

I could probably never do a superhero type fic. I just wouldn’t be able to.

19. Least favorite plot point/chapter/moment you’ve written?

I don’t really have one. I put my heart and soul into everything I write and I’m proud of it all.

20. Favorite plot point/chapter/moment you’ve written?

My favorite is currently in the works. My favorite posted though would have to be chapter 8 of Camera Shy. I love everything about that chapter from the smut to the bar scene to the dancing in the rain. I don’t know why but I love it so much. I had a lot of fun writing it.

21. Favorite character to write?

Betty in When the Curtain Falls. She has a lot demons in her closet that she’s trying to hide and apparently I’m a sadist because I can’t wait to see how she deals with everything coming out in the open.

22. Favorite line or lines of dialogue that you've written?

“She was the first thing he thought about when he woke up and the last thing he thought about before falling asleep. Her smile moved mountains inside his chest and made rainy days worthwhile. The love he felt for her he couldn’t even fathom putting into words, because there were no words worthy of how he felt for Betty.” – Adventures In Babysitting

23. Best comment/review you’ve ever received?

There is so many I can’t even choose! The best comments are when readers quote my words back to me because it impacted them in some way shape or form. But I love all comments. I thrive off them.

24. How do you handle bad reviews or comments?

Honestly I’m lucky enough that I haven’t received any. Everyone has been really accepting and encouraging and I really appreciate the respect people have for each other in this family of ours.

25. If you could change anything in any of your stories, what would it be?

This is more of a broad answer but I wish I was better at describing scenes. Feelings and dialogue I can handle, but my weakness is creating a setting. I’m terrible at it. If I could go back and rewrite in beautiful descriptions of places and events in my stories I would, but I can’t.

26. What is your favorite story you’ve ever written? Any fandom?

I realize it only has a prologue so far, but from what I can tell Concrete Dreams will be my favorite story of mine. Second is When the Curtain Falls.

27. What are you reading right now? Both fan fiction and general fiction?

I am currently not reading any regular fiction; my mind is completely captivated by Riverdale. The last book I read was The Paris Wife by Paula McClain. As for fanfiction:

Wicked Games by @ariquitecontrary, The Stacks by @malmo722, You Were A Kindness by Saltwaterkid95 ( @fxyeahriverdale on tumblr), What Fools These Mortals Be by GellsBells ( @gellbellshead on tumblr), and Summer Storm by @lazydaizies.

28. Do you have an advice for writers that want to get into this fandom but might be scared?

As made famous by Nike, “Just Do It.” Fuck everyone and write. If it makes you happy, write. If you can’t stop thinking about a plot, write it down. Post it. There are so many avid readers in this fandom and we are like a tight knit support group. We will support you and praise you and push you to write more. Reblog the shit out of your own work, no one cares. Talk to other writers and comment on stories you enjoy reading. Don’t be scared. Write for yourself, write for others, no matter what it is just write! Don’t contain your creativity, or it may die out one day.
