Interview with 3JasperHale

1. Where did the idea for Hope and Forgotten Hope come about?

Lina: Hmm, this was is hard. I created Hope so long ago, or at least it
seems like it. I can tell you Forgotten Hope though! At the beginning of Hope when I introduced Spencer I was “I have to make Alice get her memory back and go back to him!” I loved the idea or it, but I knew I couldn’t do it for a
long time so it landed up being the sequel. It created a pretty emotional story.

2. How do come up with the character of Nick?

Lina: Nick started off as a not so important secondary character because
Jasper needed at least one person to have his back before Alice came around
and so I made him. Both Nick and Jasper had crappy lives and that brought
them together, neither of them trusted or loved. They were guarded but they found some connection and comfort in each other, creating a close bond. In the beginning Nick didn’t have much importance in Hope. He was around Jasper sometimes and he stuck up for him when Jasper left the gang, but he wasn’t in the story too much. He became very important once Jasper went to jail and that was when we really introduced him and how far he would go for Jasper. I
thought it would be awesome to have a best friend for Jasper...no one could
live through that much alone, right?

3. Team Jasper or Team Spencer?

Lina: Honestly I love them both, obviously since it is an Alice/Jasper story
I love Jasper and I created Spencer making him that much more loveable for
me. But I gotta say if I were to pick....it might have to be Spence. xP

Lucy: Team Jasper. All the way. and then Team Nick & Team Mack are a tie ;).
Spence is cool & all, but I'm more attracted to the others haha.

4. If you were to be stuck on a desert island with one of the characters
from the stories, who would it be and why? ;)

Lina: Well, having said my answer to the last question I will stick with
that. My Mr. Perfect over there Spencer Wright. Oh the fun we could have on
a desert island! Why? Well.... he is Spencer Wright :P. Doesn’t that answer
it? No? Fiiine. I really love Spencer, some people might say he is whiny and
pathetic but what he has truly went through in his life and he still lives
up to what everyone wants from him. That’s hard and I think he is amazing for
that. He is always a gentlemen with Alice and everyone one else, he tries to
please his dad even if he knows it’s impossible, and he is drop dead
freakin’ gorgeous! I loved him since the beginning of Hope, where he was
an absolutely joyous character always having fun to the deep dark depressed man he is now. I love him! Haha, there’s my long explanation.

Lucy: It's a hard choice between Nick & Mack... probably Nick, if Chloe
wouldn't get mad. But if she'd be uncomfortable about it, then I'd send those
two to an island and pick Mack. Just because I absolutely adore both of them.
Can't even pretend I'd say Jasper though, cause he is ALL Alice's in my mind.


5. The drama never seemed to end in Hope, I was always on the edge of my
seat reading it, will Forgotten Hope go the same way, or will it stay on a calmer note?

Lina: Forgotten Hope is going to get pretty intense! You’ll be staying up
till 4 in the morning, fidgeting on your seat, tears trailing down your
cheeks. It’ll be more emotionally gripping and painfully than Hope was and
it’ll have some action packed parts too.

Lucy: The amount of action drama in Hope sort of just wrote itself, I think.
This one will DEFINITELY have drama... lots of emotional drama and some action drama as well. I'm hooked at just the thought of what's to come lol.

6. Then there's little Johnny, the cutest guy I think I've ever read about,
where did the inspiration for a younger Jasper come from?

Lina: *takes a deep breath* good question... I was trying to remember for
this question but it’s tough. My sister said she thought him up but I
don’t remember. But Johnny’s main purpose was to keep Jasper’s soul.
Johnny was the only pure thing Jasper had ever seen in his life and Johnny
idolized Jasper. That made sure that Jasper kept himself in control to make
sure Johnny never turned out like him.

7. There was a lot of gang activity in Hope, will there be more of that in
Forgotten Hope, will Greg come back for his revenge? Or will we hear anymore
about Mack and how he is getting on?

Lucy: Umm... let’s just go with... yes. Don't wanna give away a lot, but we'll definitely see some of our old characters showing up. We're already starting to, if you've read the latest chapters! Got some amazing Mack stuff going on =). Love him.

8. Are you planning a sequel for Forgotten Hope?

Lina: Top secret stuff. I don’t know if I can tell you that. I will tell
you though that there has been a little discussion on a prequel.

Lucy: I'm up for it if Lina is =). I love these characters too much to just
stop writing about them.

Lina: Thanks so much for these amazing questions 3JasperHale! We had a great time answering them and we hope we gave you the answers you wanted!
