1- When did you start playing Choices? What's the first book you played? 

I started playing choices in mid-2018 or early 2019 I think?:  TRR was between books two and three because I caught up to where the series was and had to wait for weekly releases 

I played Rules of Engagement and The Freshman at the same time.  TRR came on my radar when I saw that Leo was the Leo from there.   

2- When, and why, did you join Choices fandom?.

I saw a post on Reddit talking about the Tumblr choices fandom when was looking for TRR information between books

3- How did you pick your url name? 

Bebe is actually one of the nicknames I go by and Pac is actually because I still want to go back to school to become a Physician Assistant  a  PA-C.

4- Go back to your archive and tell us about the first post on your Choices blog. 

My first posts were TRH inspired, with pictures of the Royal Heir.   My first chapter I wrote was a one-shot called Ride With Me

5- How long have you been writing fanfiction?

I started writing in January 2020

6- What is your favorite Choices book to write about?

TRR, I use the characters, but they’re not always royal in the series I put them in.

7- Share the first fanfic you wrote with us. Do you still like it or would you change anything about it?

A WIP is the earliest thing I can find that I shared on CFWC

8- What is your favorite fic that you’ve written?

Greek Meat - in May 2020 I was supposed to spend 12 days in Greece, but due to the pandemic, my trip was canceled.  That fictionalized series was kind of the time I hoped to have with me and my good friend who planned to go together. 

9- Do you have a fic that you didn’t expect to be well received, but it was? What about one you expected to be, but it could use a little more love?

I didn’t expect The Rotten Apple to be well received, and I have gotten some very negative messages about it.  It does have a taboo storyline, but I truly enjoy writing the story, and the evolution of the characters.

I expected The Life of Riley: Book One to do better.  It made me feel like I was the only one who really wanted Riley to have a backstory,  so I created one for her that explained integral parts of her life in the canon story where she didn’t have family there to support her.  

10- What is your specialty as a fanfic writer?

Drama and angst,  I can write fluff, but fluff is not my go to.  I do promise on my page, you get original fics with dramatic flair.  

11- If you could write only angst, fluff, or smut for the rest of your writing life, which would it be and why? 

Angst.  They say you write what you know, and I’ve had to deal with tough things in my life.

12- Do you ever recognize yourself in any of your MC’s or in your writing?

All of my MCs have components of me, all are left-handed like myself.  But if I had to rank them the most like me is  My original Riley Brooks Character (most emotionally like me when I explain how my Riley reacts to things, I always put myself in her shoes.)  Mia from my series Pop’s Place and Mia’s World  My New Riley (from The Blue Honey Cafe)

13- What element of writing do you struggle with most?

Not adequately conveying what I’m thinking to the page, or giving as much detail as I should.   I know what I see, but I need to help  you see what I see.  This is something I’ve been working on.

14- Do you have any neglected work you really want to finish?

I have several series that are really close to being done. Just the Way You are (TRR x Perfect Match crossover) The Days the Earth Stood Still (TRR) 

15- If someone you know in real life (who isn’t involved in fandoms) asked to read your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you recommend they read first?

Funny:  Greek Meat Drama:  Fast Forward 

16- Are there any writers (published authors and/or fanfic writers) who influenced your writing?

@dcbbw on the fandom,  my struggle point I mentioned about my writing, is something she gave me as constructive criticism and I appreciate it.  

Giving me the courage to write when I told them I had a story idea fandom peeps @janezillow @dcbbw.  Thank you for believing in me.

17- Which one of your stories would you most like to see as a movie/series? 

Greek Meat 

18- Do you write original stories?

I write very little canon in my stories so I think of them as original and most of my storylines aren’t actually set in Cordonia.

I also write a lot of pieces based in my hometown area which I think gives them a very unique feel.

19 -  What other hobbies do you have?

Music, movies, and now that the pollening is no longer among us I want to get back into the great outdoors more until it gets too hot!

20 - What’s your favorite emoji? 

Right now it’s the red apple for my series The Rotten Apple 🍎

21: BONUS - tell us anything you’d like (if you want to).

My apologies for the commenting delay. These days my mind has become easily distracted and I lose track of everything else...

It was my great pleasure to read your tribute series for your muse. It has caused a lot of self-reflecting, but most definitely in a positive way. This series has great significance to you, and I wanted to comment in the most poetic way I could... but loss takes me to a zone of speechlessness, so I just wanted to create a little bit more to show my appreciation of the beauty Cheslie has brought to your writing.

When it comes to personal emotion evolving into fics, it's almost impossible for one to not feel what you must have felt when creating. I appreciate the gravity that came along with the abrupt ending of the life of your creative muse and didn't want to offend with unintended callous wording. You know my overly southern tendency to over apologize, lol. It doesn't signify ill intention, but due respect which means a lot to me if no one else.

Thank you for sharing such a private and sensitive struggle, and may the positive memories remaining of her fuel your writing passion for more series to come.

The gif... just to remember the smiles and joy that she brought to the world... Her final moment isn't her defining moment. It also plays to your Riley's trip to New York with Liam.

The wedding photo... I can't imagine a better moment of reflection for Riley and Liam than to take a pause and appreciate their journey to this moment.

The cartoon pics ... I can't imagine that they wouldn't have commemorated their trip with a couple of oil paintings., freeze-dried bouquets Liam bought on their walks, and many more memorandums not excluding Lady Liberty, lol.

If you read my work you will be familiar with these two.  Jaiden and Mia.  Mia is my TRR MC that really takes on a life of her own.

Mia has a very relatable and unique story,  and the story is based in my home town. Mia’s character, as I’ve never hidden it, has a lot of my personality, especially when I was her age, learning how to be on my own.  If you’d like to learn more about Jaiden and Mia, they can be found in the following series:

Pop’s Place (Book 1) 

Mia’s 🌎 World  (Book 2) 

I promise it’s an interesting read!
