/The crowd and cast laughs at the emcee's remark/
//After the photo-op with the cast, they took their respective seats
//There are two rows of tables set up on the stage
//The maknae line is seated on the second row which was elevated higher than that of the hyung/unnie line's row which was just in front of them

[EMCEE]
Now, ladies and gentlemen, we proceed with the questions.

[REPORTER ONE]
Hello. My first question is for author-nim.
What should the readers expect from this story?

/Author-nim gets the microphone then takes a quick glace at the cast who were smiling widely/

[AUTHOR-NIM]
Well I guess, for starters, Greek Mythology. *laughs*
Then it has a "modern high school" setting.
So it's kind of a mix between Greek Myth and... Gossip Girl.

/A mixture of gasps and murmurs were audible as Author-nim just smiled innocently/

[REPORTER ONE]
Gossip Girl? Isn't that the American Show full of scandalous upper east side High schoolers acting like adults and adults acting like teenagers? And Greek Myth? Those are some peculiar choices, author-nim.

[AUTHOR-NIM]
Kinda. *chuckles*
I actually turned on the "Mature Content" toggle for a reason.
I'm a huge GG fan. I kinda like how twisted their idea of privileged students
and how they handle their lives. Also, I miss the show so much.
About the mix of Greek Myth, I kinda want to justify that these kids are well-off
but in a more unique way. Since this is fanfiction, I still want to venture
my fave ships into something other than real-time imagines.
Also, I've already done the supernatural theme with Hex so I'm kinda out of ideas.
*laughs*

[REPORTER TWO]
Hi. I too am a fan of Gossip Girl.
Will there be an anonymous blogger who'd make the lives of these teens messy?
If so, can you give us a little overview of his/her character?

[AUTHOR-NIM]
Of course! Gossip Girl wouldn't be 'Gossip Girl' without that xoxo, right?
The Fate--which is synonymous to the trio who's responsible for the thread of life but only with an 's', is a "blog" in which students from Olympus High have an updated database of who's who and what are they currently up to. They're the ones who give the superlatives and posts the 'scandals'.
Of course, the person who handles the blog is anonymous.

[REPORTER TWO]
So if there's a Gossip Girl, there's Serena.
Then who's the Serena of this story?
The infamous Blair and Chuck? Dan? Nate? Georgina Sparks?

[AUTHOR-NIM]
The one difference I can tell is that I really didn't pattern the whole story to GG.
Just the blogger thing and the idea of highschool scandals. *lol*
But if ever there'll be a 'Serena' here, it's definitely Lisa since she is, my muse.
Another spoiler alert, she's the blogger's main dish too.
