After my post on the Top 50 Gay Romance, I decided to follow the lead and try to contact all the authors on the list to ask them if they are interested in a guest author post on my LiveJournal.

Obviously I began from the first: this morning Andre Aciman has very kindly reply to my email and he will wrote a brief post for me on his novel. I will post it on June, I will keep you posted.

ETA: murokusuggested that I create a short meme of 5 questions to ask to all the guest author. Since I'm not very skilled on this matter, I will ask to my friend list what they would like to ask and I will draw up the five more interesting question. Yes, I know, I'm a lazy girl and I will make you do all the work! 

Suggested Questions:

1) Could you tell us about your writing "process"?

2) What are the best and worst aspects of being an author?

3) Once your book is finished do you rely only on the editor feedback or do you take also other measures to be sure that your work can be enjoyed by other people? 

4) What are some taboos subject you will not write?

5) Are your loved ones and friends supportive of your writing?

6) What do you do to celebrate after finishing a story?

7) Have you ever cried as you wrote a story---if so which title?

8) What attracted you to writing gay romance? 

9) What do you find most challenging about writing gay romance?

10) What is your favorite character from all your stories and why?

11) What books did you read that inspired you to become a writer

12) What's the best thing anyone has said to you about one of your books?

As I wrote to Mr Aciman, I dare not to ask for an interview, I'm not so skilled. But your idea sounds interesting. Why don't you tell me your "possible" question? And now I will add a call to all my friends and in the end I will draw the five questions that will become the short meme.

Here are some ideas:

1) What are some taboos subject you will not write?

2) Are your loved ones and friends supportive of your writing?

3) What do you do to celebrate after finishing a story?

4) Have you ever cried as you wrote a story---if so which title?

5) (If the writer is a straight woman) What attracted you to writing gay romance?
