Hi Everyone!

I hope everyone has had a chance to read Ally’s post with some really cool fun facts about how she came up with character names and other fun stuff!! This got me thinking about what fun questions YOU guys could come up with for Ally.

So, Today’s mission is to send in a fun/interesting question for Ally!

I will choose about 20 questions from those submitted and make Ally answer them!

I will post all questions and answers next Monday.

Shellie

  1. Here it goes…

    Will you ever write a book about the guys from blackthorn (I know you are probably wishing you never wrote them because of all the questions you get about them so sorry I asked, I’m just curious).

    Also have any of your fans ever inspired an idea or trait for one of your books or characters/ has any fan ever stuck out to you or did something rememberable (I know you see a lot of ppl and we probably inspire you to keep doing what your doing but again I was just curious)

  2. Did Hale’s family, specifically Hazel, ever wonder how Hale was spending his time? Did she suspect?
    How did Zach meet Joe?

  4. After reading your post about naming characters and novels, I was wondering if you’ve ever wished you named a character another name? Or once it clicked in your brain, Cammie was always Cammie, or Liz was always Liz? (As a reader, the names are perfect, but as a writer, sometimes I wish to change names but it’s too late.)

    The bigger question I was thinking about was how difficult did you find it to write for the four roommates (Cammie, Bex, Liz, and Macey) when they were all together? Do you have any tips for writing for large groups of characters in a scene, while not losing the voice of any one character?

    Since you didn’t do all of your research in person, how else did you research? Just Google or do you have a list of websites that you always returned to for a certain series?

  6. Hello! I was just wondering what happened to grant and Jonas? I don’t know if they ended up being assassin type guys or not, so yeah

    • Good ? Everybody keeps saying they want them to come back in GG6 (which WOULD be great) and like fall in love with Bex and Liz, but what if they Do meet just not like friendly…… what if they are a part of the circle or something…….
      Sorry not really a question, but just a thought.

  7. Hi I was re-reading cross my heart and hope to spy and I have some questions

    1) Deedee asks Cammie whether she was happy with zach and are they serious why was she asking? it seems a personal question

    2) what did josh and zach talk about when cammie left them alone?

    3) Cammie in out of sight, out of time was not herself how difficult was it to write a character who was being manipulated when she herself didn’t realize she was under the influence of Dr Steve

    • 1. I think she was asking that because she’s with Josh and knows that Cammie was with Josh before and is checking like because she wants her to be moving on and not dweling on her boyfriend.

  8. 1. Do we ever find out how Cammie’s parents met. Rachel said she’d tell Cammie someday.
    2. Do we find out what happens in Buenos Aires?
    3. Who would make a better Gallagher Girl: Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Veronica Mars?

    • I totally want to know what happened in Buenos Aires and all the places Zach and Bex went looking for Cammie. That is an amazing question… I wish I had thought of it. (Bex is my favorite character so that might have a little to do with it but still). Also I love the how you asked about Cammie’s parents meeting, so cute. you must have put a lot of thought into your questions.

  9. Hey Ally! I was wondering, why don’t you make one last gallagher girls book about cammie and her friends working together in the field? Or why don’t you make a series of books about Zach and the reports he giving like cammie? In this you could totally share what Zach is doing whenever he’s not showing up at random and dangerous points in cammie’s life:) or where he got all his information from about a gallagher girl being in trouble and things like that. Well, I hope you answer my question:) thanks!

  11. Hey Ally! my Questions are:

    1) Do you knows Hale name? (if so will you let us know?)

    2) Could you please recommend books for my summer read list?

  13. Hi Shellie (And Ally if you read these),
    Okay so i first wanna say my prediction for who I think Zach’s dad is and that would be Townsend. 🙂

    Now my question. I have tons, but I think this is my best one.
    You brought up the posibility of having the cross-over being made into a series of novella’s if that happens would they extend past the time of the GG series where we would learn more after the fact?

    I think it would help with the series being over so it’s not just done.

    THANK YOU FOR READING THIS!!!! 🙂

    Tiffany!

    PS: Continue being the best author ever!!!!!!! YOU ARE ONE OF THE LITERARY GENIUSES THAT I LOOK UP TO IN ALL OF MY WRITING!!!!!! <3

  15. Are the names of weapons and techniques they use in Gallagher girls real or did you make them up?

    And if they are real how did you find out about them?

    Thanks for giving me the opportunity to ask those questions x

  17. Hi Ally and Shellie!

    I have always been really into intelligence and spying,
    since I was little, are you the same? Also have you ever visited
    a place similar to the Gallagher Academy, or did you think up what
    a school for spies might look like?

    Thanks!

  18. Hey shellie and ally i got another question! What is your favorite quote from the gg series? Thx! Hope to have my question answered:)

  19. Hey ally, a question I have is did you have anything in mind of how cammies family became spies?? I know that every summer, Cammie supposedly goes to her grandparents ranch but you said that they are not spies, so how did Abby Rachel and Matt meet the spy world?? That would be kind of cool to learn about… Thanks;$

  21. Woo Hoo! Question Time:)

    So Ally………….. How on earth did you come up with the plots of your story? I mean, I have this amazing idea for a book……. but I don’t know how to make the plot sound right. Ya know what I mean? How do you decide what to make your characters do, and how do you make a problem that is a lagit. problem?

  22. If you ever made a new character in Gallagher Girls, what their name be and would there be anything special about them.

  23. I know these questions are supposed to be for ally to answer but this is to everyone which uniform is your fav ?

  24. 1.) Do or did Abby and Townsend have more than a working relationship?
    2.) Will Cammie’s Mom and Joe ever actually get together? Or are they just waiting until after Cammie( and Zach for that matter) finish high/spy school?
    3.) When did Cammie and Zach “start” dating, dating because while it was clear that they cared about each other it wasn’t until Out of Sight, Out of Time that the words boyfriend and girlfriend came up?

    Thank you for both taking the time to a) answer these questions and to b) write my favorite book series

    ~~Victoria

  25. Have you seen “Now You See Me” yet? It’s a heist movie! Really well done! If you have, what did you think of it?

  27. My question is….Are there any other books that inspired you to write your books ?

  28. Do my questions and responses to these magnificent Monday giveaways ever get posted on here? Does anyone actually see them because when I check to see if its posted I can never find it

    • Yes, they do! It just takes a while sometimes for them to be approved.

  32. Dear Ally and Shellie,
    I just want you to know that I would love you to come to Southern California for gg6 tour possibly in September?
    -please:)

  33. I know this is like a week late but I thought I would ask still when Macey goes back to Gallagher does she tell the other girls about her meeting with Hale or is it like it never happened?

  34. like Gillian Gallagher, my sisters name which is also Gillian is spelled with a G not a J. how did you come up with the idea to make Gillian Gallagher Irish and have her name spelled like that? also did you base any of the characters in your book off of friends/relatives/people you know?
