The Papers Know Your Name [LIGHTNOVEL｜UNDER REVISION]

FAQ's

Since maraming nagtatanong at nag-pm sa akin, oki sige I decided to write this part, and I hope it'll satisfy you. Anyway, I condensed those questions that were in close relation to make everything concise. 

Q1. Kuya, may sequel po ba ang story nina Vanjoss at Joy?

        Sorry, pero I don't think making a sequel would make a hitch, and baka masira pa yung na-establish nang narrative. Tsaka, one of the reasons would be nasa susunod na question. 

Q2. Kuya, bakit po ang iksi ng "The Papers Know Your Name", at walang PoV ang ibang characters?

        Thank you for asking. You might be wondering kung bakit napakaiksi nito compared sa iba kong gawa, but it's already as planned. Kung napapansin n'yo rin, I could have add more scenes such as yung sa friendship nila and such, but I decided not to dahil na rin sa ayaw kong ma-disturb ang narrative ni Joy -which is ang pinaka-highlight ng akdang ito. 

Q3. Kuya, unique po yung male lead, at ang female lead naman ay may kagusto-gustong attribute, paano n'yo po siya naisip o kanino po inspired?  

        Ayie, thank you for asking. The truth is, yung male lead mismo is inspired sa characteristics ko and what others think of me as a whole, yung pinagkaiba lang namin ay hindi ako isang 'napakatalinong tao'... ano lang, 'may utak' HAHAHA. Si Joy naman, ay inspired sa kaklase ko dati (Uy, shawrawt nga pala d'yan Ryshelle Angela!) Inaamin ko, I really found her interesting in that way kaya heto... HAHAHA. 'Wag n'yo na akong tanungin kung crush ko siya, kasi I really don't see her that way. 

Q4. Grabe within three days n'yo lang po pala ito isinulat, how to be you po?

        Three words for you: Be passionately strategic.

Q5. Kuya bakit ang gwapong-gwapo mo?

         "Huh? HAHA, buang." -Vanjoss.

Q6. Ang ganda po ng story, nakakadala ng emosyon, ang ganda n'yo po magsulat penge po writing tips!

        Uy, thank you. 'Di naman ako gaano kagaling but all I can say is, research facts (yes, that's crucial, fiction man ito but at least be realistic) and tirahin mo sa puso yung readers mo by putting your heart to the craft during its making. Extra ko lang, be considerate when you try to foresee your kind of ending if it's justifiable enough or not.

Q7. Kuya, 'di po ba, kasali ito sa 'Odds of Youth Universe' n'yo, paano po sila magko-connect sa mga characters na nauna n'yo pong naisulat?

        Mwehe, I love easter eggs, so I hope you'll love to find them in the future.

Q8. Kuya, bakit wala pong bed scenes?

        OF COURSE! It's not that it's not my cup of tea but I don't see it as something that has to do with the story.

Q9. Kuya based on true story din po ba itong story nina Joy at Vanjoss?

        Hindi, but I think it does apply to some, or something that's happening to somebody else's life.

Q10. Kuya, may spin-off po ba ito, like for Gloria at Filimon po sana?

         Uh, about that, this is actually a stand alone spin-off of a certain story in the same universe HAHAHAHA nauna nga lang masulat, but sadly, it's not for Gloria and Filimon; and about their story... hmm... 'di ko rin alam. But maybe, if I think it would do.

So ayun, thanks for asking! Thank you guys, and I hope to see you on the pre-ordering period when the book version of this story starts for production!
