After a 2 month break, here is the final Q&A. Or, more or less, the final one. Who knows, you guys might have more questions after this. But for now, this is final... sort of. Enjoy :)

Can I make another season/spin-off/sequel using your characters/settings/plots?

This one's actually been asked a lot in many different forms (as you can tell from the slash marks). However, I cannot grant use of the original characters, settings, plots or etc. from the stories. As you already know, everything from the actual movies (Scream 1 - 4) are not mine and you can do what you wish with those. The likes of Niley Krinkey, Roy Popper and etc. belong to me. So why can't you use them? Well, because I plan on using these characters (and their likenesses) in the future in real productions I plan to produce. The original settings shouldn't be used, as I see no reason why anyone would want that. And for using the same plot or continuing one... I simply believe everyone should create their own stories (well... this is fanfiction... but you know what I mean) and ripping off work is unacceptable. So sorry, I can not allow use. The only exception I've allowed thus far was for protector91 and his Stab series, as the characters make non-canon appearances and they simply just watch the story he created. There have already been instances of these stories (with weird changes) popping up - - please do not do this either. Using the same story with minor changes to make it your own is still stealing. Do not alter the events, characters or settings of the story to make it appear different either. May I also remind you that the authors that use this website have a copyright on the works they've created, so it is technically ILLEGAL to take their work and pose it as your own or someone else's. I'm glad there are fans of this story, but without my consent, don't post or use this story elsewhere. Thank yoooou!

How did you get the idea for the "bridge scene" in the series finale?

I knew a few things needed to happen, and I knew I wanted a bit of action. I knew that Roy needed to escape. I knew that Louis and his gang needed to think Roy was Ghostface and therefore wanted to go after him (which sets up Louis' hatred for Louis in "Ghostface Radio"). And I knew that I needed Dillinger to chase after Roy. And ofcourse, I knew that none of this could be easily done for any of them and it seemed like the best place that's out in the open and seems like there's no escape from, for any of those people, would be a bridge. I had my doubts about whether or not this fit into the Scream world, but I said "fuck it" and put it in anyway. It just seemed like the logical route for the story to go.

Why don't Roy, Trevor, Charlie or Olivia have in between chapters?

That'd be way too many! Had to pick and choose what I thought people most wanted to see.

Was it hard killing off Olivia after you gave her a sympathetic angle?

Not really. I imagined it would but when the time came, all I could think was, "this is such a brutal death." The thoughts of her character and her arcs and what-not just didn't come to me, and maybe that's because she didn't have many. I spent 2 and 3/4 of the series making her a total bitch and then for the last 1/4 tried to squeeze in some reasoning for that. I guess that 1/4 wasn't enough for me to think twice about it.

Why doesn't Marnie attend Woodsboro High in the alternate universe?

Marnie only attended Woodsboro because of the Penciatti Hotel massacre. It was never fully explained, as it was something that didn't get the attention it needed during the time the episodes were in summary form. But no Cinema Club = Penciatti Hotel massacre = Marnie stays at Breckin.

Will there be a fourth season?

Sorry, no. You can always read my Scream 5 and Scream 6. That's 2 movies that are 200+ pages long each, so that's plenty enough of a continuation!

What happened to Dewey and Gale? They were barely in the finale!

When watching Scream 4, it felt like their story was told well enough. Nothing more needed to be added to it. Only bit I wanted to throw in there was the divorce angle, which sets things up for Scream 5.

If you were to do a season four, what would it have been?

I never fully outlined it and some of the ideas float around in Part 4 of the finale but I imagine it would've started right after Stephie killed Jill. It would've left a few cliffhangers, such as will Stephie be charged? Did Kirby survive (lame, since we know she's in my Scream 5)? What happens when Louis and Roy finally come head to head again? What would the funerals been like? But all this is in the finale. The stuff that ISN'T would've been making Shirley and Richie main characters (not part of the friend group, but essential to the story). After having pretty much everyone dead, new characters would need to pop up. Harold, who you see flirting with Olivia momentarily a few episodes before the finale, would also become a main character since he's apart of the friend group in 'Radio.' Same with Joseph, they'd be taking him in to create their new group. And Louis would be the rivalry character. We'd also get a good look at the Survivors Group characters, such as Kirby making friends with Mariah, Esline, Carrie and others. The beginning of the season would've had Sid go back to Washington. Dewey and Gale finally deciding on their divorce with Gale leaving mid-season to finish up her book. Mr. Leeds' obsession with Kirby could be developed a bit as well. There's a few different ways for season four to go and I think it could be interesting but stopping with the third season seems like a good point, with everyone dead.

Who was the little girl in the window looking down at Jill at Kirby's house?

That was Jill's daughter, Niley, somehow bleeding over from the Alt Univ world and into reality.

Does Jill not want to kill Niley because of her Alt Univ daughter?

Exactly. She can connect the feelings from the parallel universe of Niley to her own daughter that she named after her. She'd kill her cousin and even her mother, but killing what seems like your own child is another thing. With Niley dead in the parallel universe and Jill giving memorial to her with her own flesh and blood, it really brings up strong feelings towards killing Niley in reality. She just can't do it. You could say it's a similar reason for why she won't kill Roy either.

So Niley thinking Sidney was the killer and trying to get away from her down in the basement was that sound of the door closing when Sid looks in the basement before being attacked by Charlie?

... YES. lol

Why does Dillinger let Roy go?

It's actually very self explanitory but only if you remember Dillinger's story in the puzzle piece a few episodes earlier. Dillinger explains to Roy and Nick that his wife was killed while he was at work. He said he chose his job over love, which Roy throws back at him in the final and says he doesn't want to end up like him. Dillinger relates, letting Roy go so he can save his friends (the ones he loves), making Dillinger choose love over his job, unlike what he did years prior.

What are you implying by Roy and Kirby's conversation of "Fate is fate" and Jill and Charlie's conversation "everything is perfect."

I'd like to leave this up to interpretation. It means a lot to different people and could be seen in so many ways. If you'd like to know my interpretation, you can read it down below but beware, the answer has major spoilers for my Scream 5 and 6.

Where are Solai and Topher during the reunion?

They're around, just not too important to show. Robbie never met Solai and Topher never met Kirby and it was established in the graduation scene.

Does Trevor feel connected to Chelsea after she's dead because he's with her in the alternate universe?

Exactly.

What was your favorite episode to write?

Boyfriend Number 1, Back to Black, Blue Moon, some parts of the series finale and Monster are easily at the top of the list.

Who was your favorite character to write other than the original characters?

Kirby was always fun. Jill was great once she kicked into psycho mode. Robbie had his moments.

Why didn't Sidney shoot Jill in the head?

I don't know, I didn't write that part. lmao

Why does Sidney want Jill ashes and what does she plan to do with them?

There's nobody else in her family to have them. She'll keep the ashes, I imagine, or bury it. Point is, she has them and it says a lot about her character.

If Kate is Maureen Prescott's sister, wouldn't Roberts be her maiden name?

This is actually explained in season 2 (I think). Kate and Aaron are married and Aaron's last name is Roberts. She keeps his last name, even after his death (as does Jill). Maureen and Kate's maiden names were never revealed, although some speculate that it's Roberts. However, a child born out of wed lock is usually given the father's last name. Even after a divorce, a child still keeps the father's name, unless Kate was a single mother all of Jill's life. So it would be out of the ordinary (although not a stretch) for Jill to have the same last name as her mother without a father figure in the picture (hence why I added the Aaron character).

******STOP! SPOILERS AHEAD!

SCREAM 5: GHOSTFACE RADIO & SCREAM 6: GHOSTFACE SOCIETY SPOILER QUESTIONS & ANSWERS!

Do NOT read unless you've read both "Ghostface Radio" and "Ghostface Society."

Again, SPOILERS. MAJOR SPOILERS. You've been WARNED.*******

Did you kill Jill for good in the season finale to explain her absence in Scream 5 and 6?

In my opinion, Jill was already dead but people have weird theories claiming she was alive since she was shot in the chest in Scream 4. I figured, let's shoot her in the head and keep her dead so people don't expect her to stick around in my stories if they're new to them. Jill is dead... very dead.

Does Niley die in the parallel universe in 2016 because that's when she dies in reality?

Yes, Niley was one of the unfortunate ones to have their "fate be fate." Destined to die whether it be reality or in the alternate universe.

Why isn't Roy there when Kirby spreads Niley's ashes in Scream 6? Aren't they best friends?

During the writing of Scream 6, I didn't plan on their friendship being so great with each other. So at the time, it didn't seem that big of an issue for Roy not to be there. But reading the show and then the movies, it's a bit weird for him NOT to be there. However, I've come up with a decent excuse: he's in the hospital still recooperating after his injuries in Scream 6. Good enough, yeah? No? Well, I tried!

Does Mr. Leeds see hallucinations of Kirby during Scream 5 like he did of Chelsea in season 3 and that's why he wants to kill her?

Partly, yes. I wanted to give Mr. Leeds more of an angle in Scream 5, since I wasn't fully satisfied with it. Now knowing he has some mental issues, it kinda helps his motive of him being obsessed with her.
