HI! :) My answers are: 1. My favorite story gene is humor, definitely. A close second is romance. Romance+Humor=Happy me ;) 2. Erm.. I would definitely love some more historical fiction books on Wattpad. The ones that are currently put up are amazing, and I would love to read books like that. Something unrelated to historical fiction: Also, the plots in most of the stories I've read are similar. They go like this: Two people meet and fall in love, one lover gets injured, the other lover is sad, the injured lover recovers, everyone lives happily ever after. OR like this: Two people fall in love, One of the lovers cheats, other breaks up with said lover, said lover woos the other lover back, they live happily ever after, the end. Said stories are mostly well written, but the plot is the same old. cliched stuff.. I would love to see stories that have a plot different to the above mentioned. 3. My favorite thing about reading is that when you're reading, you don't have to think about yourself. It's completely about the book. You start thinking about the characters' lives, how they react to a situation. It gives you a safe place to be, it allows you to escape from your life and enter the character's for a little bit. A good book will do that to you. ^_^ 4. Nothing, really. I just love it. :3 5. On Wattpad or actual books? Either way, I don't have a favorite. ;3 6. Yes, I use the iPad. I have alllloooot of stories saved on it. I'm sorry I can't be more specific. I just have tons, and I'm too lazy to count them. I know, bad Hope. SORRY :P 7. Every day. No jokes. x) |

8. Erm. My least favorite thing about reading.. hm... that would be the excessively descriptive paragraphs. I understand you have to describe stuff. But describing the the way your fan moves or the knob of your guitar in detail? Grr. Also, When People Type Like This. Seriously?! Grammar mistakes annoy me. A bit is okay, but really, there's a difference between they're/ their and two/ to/ too. NO, JUST NO. And spellings that everyone should know by the time they're in second grade. It's sweet not SWEAT. JEEZ. Random example: I ate a bit of the dessert that my mum served me. It tasted sweat. IT TASTED SWEAT?!? WTF? 9. I actually just started to write a One Direction fan fic recently!! YAY! GO ME! haha xD 10. DON'TS: Dont keep constantly changing POVs, it's okay once in a while but every two sentences is just confusing. DO'S: One idea per paragraph is always a good idea. Make the story interesting, humor is a good way to do that. Get the readers hooked onto the story! Strong endings are a MUST. No one wants endings that are weak. Yes, the ending could be unexpected but if there is no conclusion, it puts me off. You can't really do anything, though, cause you've already read the book lol. ORGANIZATION IS VERY IMPORTANT. Elaborate, don't bore. Use good grammar. Try to spell properly. ~~~ ALL THE BEST PEOPLE<3 I hope this helps =] Sorry Wattpad didn't allow me to post the comment as a whole, so this is the continuation. :) =D |

1. What's your favorite story genre to read? I read EVERYTHING! I son't rally care, just finished 'The Davinci code', and am now reading 'Green Eggs and Ham', LOL! I'll say it now, though, I'm a sucker for The Brother's Grimm, the original tales at that. 2. What you would like to see more of on wattpad? I would LOVE to see more fantasy or books that (don't kill me here!) AREN'T One Direction Fan-fictions. Some of them are great, but really, we don't need millions. People should expand their area, and I definetly need to get of the Faiey Tail fan-fic train, but they're so mouldable! 3. What's your favorite thing about reading? 4. What's your least favorite thing about reading? Repetition. Authors who keep using He said or they said or she said or __ said. There are other words people!! 5. Who's your favorite author? Um, give me an hour and I'll write them down! Seriously, my faves include Eoin Colfer (first name pronounced owen!), J.R.R. Tolkien (He wrote the Lord of the Rings!!), Salamanda Drake, Suzanne Collins (guess what she wrote, here's a hint: May the odds be ever in your favor!), J.K. Rowling, Stephanie Meyer (SURPRISE!!!XD), Rick Riordan, I could keep going for years, I'll stop here. 6. Do you read on another device? If so, what do you use and how many stories do you have saved on it? If not, how many stories do you think you have in your library? I read on my laptop, and I have about 300+ stories scattered over my reading lists, and on my bookshelf, I have enough to supply a small library. I put my local library to shame. 7. How often do you read? Let me ask you a question, when DON'T I read?? HERE YOU GO!!! @EXTREMEmusiclover Hope it helps! |

9. Would you ever consider writing? I'm writing now!! It's all fan fiction though... 10. What are some do's and don't's authors should follow? DO give time for the reader to take in info. Once, I read a chapter that was published about a month after the one before, and it was so disjointed I had to re-read the book. DO post chapters often, e.g. once a week, so the reader can still connect to the story. DO your own planning, me, I HAVE NONE!! My mind is my planning zone. DON'! listen to others and follow their planning schedule, that's where you lose your grasp. DO write down ideas in a separate book for later use, and one day that might be your cure for writer's block. DON'T IGNORE PUNCTUATION!!! It is a PAIN to read a book with no punctuation. DON'T write a story you are no longer interested in, if the author doesn't enjoy it, the reader won't. DON'T write a story based on what your friends are into. Their likes will change as quickly as the wind. |

O_O *realised i missed a question* My fave thing about reading: How you can be absorbed into a story and feel like you're actually there. I often dream that i walk around Hogwarts or am fighting gremlins with bad-ass fairies (Eoin Colfer, you've done it again!) |

1. What's your favorite story gene to read? Horror/ romance. I hate sappy romance and I've read a few story's (mostly werewolf) that the main girl gets raped but it's by her 'mate' so she's okay with it. That just disturbers me. 2. What you would like to see more of on wattpad? Probably more Harry Potter fanfiction. Also for fanfiction writers to stop clouding their story's with their own personal desires with the characters. To learn more about the people their writing about before actually starting to write. I love fanfiction but having to go through three pages of them and not finding one that is not an obsessed fanboy/girl it's kind of heart breaking to my fanfiction loving self. *cough* One Direction FF *cough* 3. What's your favorite thing about reading? Being able to forget all my troubles and just sit there for hours on end and being able to just be in that world for a few. That's the best part about reading. 4. What's your least favorite thing about reading? When the writer doesn't put punctuation. And also when they capitalize everything (yes, I have seen people do that) it's painfully annoying. It makes me think a eight year old wrote it, so don't do that. Or when people ask for you to read their story and say what you think about it. Then you tell them what you think and if its not 'you're Gods gift to the writing world' then they're upset. |

5. Who's your favorite author? Maggie Stiefvater. She makes the fantasy of wolves come to life. You don't see them as some magical creature, they are real people and this isn't some ability that you want to have. It's painful and you have no control over it. The Wolves of Mercy Falls series I just didn't want to put down, with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series I couldn't even get past the first page. It really just board me to tears. 6. Do you read on another device? If so, what do you use and how many stories do you have saved on it? If not, how many stories do you think you have in your library? My Nook and I have a good collection of books in my library. I have 100+ books between them. I also take books from my mom who has a library of 500+ books. 7. How often do you read? Everyday, I read every night before I go to bed, which usually makes me go to bed later then planed. I try not to read a huge amount at one time because then the book/story is over in a flash. 8. What are some things that just annoy you to see in a story? Again, the obsessed fans that make the story's thinking that they are the boy/girl that's with the person from the fandom they're writing about. It's okay to imagine that but if it clouds the writers sensibility then *poof* there goes a good story plot and welcome to someone's dream they just wrote down. 9. Would you ever consider writing? I do write all the time. Mostly horror/ fanfiction. |

10. What are some do's and don't's authors should follow? Do= Make sure to plan out you're story first. It's horrible to have to keep checking weekly for months just to see if a new chapter is out. Or tell readers that a new chapter will be out every week or so to give yourself time to write a new one. Don't= Write without knowing what you're writing about. A schizophrenic person is in your story? Make sure you know how schizophrenia works. Rape victim? Very delicate topic and you don't want to offend anyone by not writing about it with all the care in the world. Do=Spell check all words you're not sure about. Re-read what you wrote. Punctuation isn't something you just skip, so don't! Don't= Like I've been saying, if you write fanfiction, don't let your own fantasy's cloud what you're writing about. Do= Know the difference between your and you're. Hope I helped @EXTREMEmusiclover and didn't come off as rude. |

1. Hmm..I like a lot of them! Horror is probably the only one I don't like. 2. What we don't already have. Historical Fiction, Mystery, etc. 3. Being able to escape to another place. :) 4. The only thing that I don't like when reading is when the plotline gets boring and it becomes a chore to keep going. Othere than that, nothing I can think of ;3 5. You can't ask me that! Too many to list! 6. Not usually, just the computer and actual books. I'm not sure.. 100? The amount I've read however GREATLY surpases that. 7. Depends on the amount of time I have and if I go to the library. 2-3 a week if I have them. 8. This: omg i said to me thatguyissototallyhawt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -.- some spelling mistakes are okay (they happen) but when you write like that, I just want to scream. sohavespaces n dont write like ur txting n use punctuation n capitol l8ers 9. I'm past the 100 page mark on a book, so yes? 10. DO make things interesting! A good hook is always a great way to grab another reader even if they didn't intend to originally read the book and were just skimming! DO post often enough. Leaving us hanging for months is annoying! (although i'm guilty of this...) DO write descriptions. It helps create an image in our minds. Just don't make an essay describing his hair or something. DON'T try to be like the popular readers! Be yourself. DON'T COPY ANOTHER PERSON'S BOOK/IDEA!!!!!! I've had this happen to me, and believe me I was furious! Come up with your own ideas. DON'T make it unrealistic. If I saw blood dripping from the ceiling, I wouldn't go investigate but run and call the cops, even if there was a thunderstorm outside! Keeping it real makes the story more believable and interesting. DON'T give us A part for a chapter. Typically, a chapter is 3-5000 words. Keep it that way. |

1. Humm, I'd have to say realistic fiction, romance, comedy, and mystery are the ones I tend to lean towards the most. 2. I actually think there's a fair amount of everything already, but if I had to pick something, I think it would be more fantasy and less Fanfictions about really popular media. FanFictions are one of my favorite things to write, but there are just so many about one subject! 3. If I pick up a book I really enjoy reading and love to death, I should have problems putting it down once I start it and end up re-reading it a million times over. 4. In general, I'm not a huge fan of the authors who delay putting out the next book in a series for a long time. *cough* LJ Smith *cough* 5. Humm, this is a tough one. James Patterson and Phyllis Reynolds Naylor are the two main ones, but I enjoy works by many different authors. 6. As of this past Christmas I can answer this question with a yes! I use it, but not as much as I do reading paperbacks. I actually don't have many books on it right now because if I own most of the series in paperback, then I'd rather finish it in paperback. 7. I read everyday, but for a fair amount of time before I go to bed I watch shows on the computer. 8. Weak main characters. I'm not sure why, but if I pick up a book and the main character is preppy or in the case of a fantasy or SiFi the main character is too weak to protect themselves, I usually don't finish the book. |

9. No, I would be able to do that for work. It seems like it would be too much work for something that you wouldn't really get much out of. But I definitely love righting for fun. :) 10. DO- Anything that may seem interesting and different. Try to post often. I really shouldn't be saying this because I have time management problems, but try to upload as much as you possibly can. I hate to sound like an English teacher, but use imagery and all of those literary techniques they teach you in school. DON'TS: Copy stories! I can't stress it enough! I've seen it done and it won't end well for you and there will be a large amount of people who will not be the first in line to become your new fan. |

1. What's your favorite story gene to read? I'll pretty much read anything if its interesting, but my favourite genres are Science-Fiction, Paranormal and Fantasy. 2. What you would like to see more of on wattpad? Less overused fanfics, especially 1D and HG. (I am a HG fan, I'm just sick of the fanfics.) 3. What's your favorite thing about reading? Finding a story that is so awesome that you cannot stop until you're finished, then read it again a billion times. 4. What's your least favorite thing about reading? Waiting for long periods of time for the next book in the series or next chapter. 5. Who's your favorite author? Wow, this is tough, I guess Maggie Stiefvater. My favourite series was The Wolves of Mercy Falls series, it is in fact the only romance story I'll ever like. And it's better than Twilight. xD 6. Do you read on another device? If so, what do you use and how many stories do you have saved on it? If not, how many stories do you think you have in your library? On my iPod occasionally, but I prefer reading online, as my iPod disagrees with the Wattpad app, anyway... <.< 7. How often do you read? Almost everyday. ^.^ 8. What are some things that just annoy you to see in a story? HORRIBLE GRAMMAR AND SPELLING, ESPECIALLY GRAMMAR. Not to mention overused plots, especially with fanfictions. 9. Would you ever consider writing? I already write... 10. What are some do's and don't's authors should follow? DO: Have good Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar, if a story doesn't have these three things I immediately look for something else to read, unless the story is insanely interesting, then I'll just ignore that. :S DO NOT: Start a story with 'Hi, my name is ___ I'm ___ years old' etc. That ticks me off as much as spelling and grammar, if I see that at the start of a story, I look for something else to read, no matter how interesting the story may be. |

1. What's your favorite story gene to read? fantasy, teen fiction, mystery and adventure 2. What you would like to see more of on wattpad? historical fiction defiantly. It is a challenging topic but i would like to see people challenging themselves. maybe my next book should be a historical fiction 3. What's your favorite thing about reading? It can take you to another world and it gives you a sneak peek at what the characters are feeling and sometimes you can relate to the character. 4. What's your least favorite thing about reading? the one thing i struggle with when reading something is when someone explains a place with every single detail because i just can't imagine it. i am better with just brief explainations so i don't like that about reading 5. Who's your favorite author? I don't really have one but i like Alyson noel and J.K Rowling 6. Do you read on another device? If so, what do you use and how many stories do you have saved on it? If not, how many stories do you think you have in your library? I have an ipod so i save wattpad books on that. I have quite a few and it's good if you are not connected to the internet but want to read your favourite book on wattpad 7. How often do you read? normally before bed and during the day i read wattpad books 8. What are some things that just annoy you to see in a story? i don't really like to see too many characters in a story being introduced at the same time because i can't remember their personalities and looks. 9. Would you ever consider writing? Yes. I have three books of my own and i have a few drafts 10. What are some do's and don't's authors should follow? do try and take risks with your stories. don't be nasty about stories you read because if you make a mean comment you can really hurt their feelings and you could cause them to stop writing and i don't think you'd want to be responsible for that |

@EXTREMEmusiclover Hey! 1. What's your favorite story gene to read? I love romance, fan fiction, horror, mystery and humour. I will give any story a go though. :) 2. What you would like to see more of on wattpad? New ideas! People always follow the same story line for each genre. Be original! The same old storylines can get VERY boring. Just some advice :) 3. What's your favorite thing about reading? I love to be able to picture what's happening in my mind. I also love the whole 'What's going to happen next?' mystery side of some stories. 4. What's your least favorite thing about reading? Sometimes, the stories are really bad but you don't want to stop reading it in case it gets better. It usually doesn't... Then I sit there screaming WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!!!! Haha just kidding, I usually have a little rage ;P 5. Who's your favorite author? On Wattpad or real books? Real books would have to be Suzanne Collins for her wonderful invention; The Hunger Games! Meg Cabot is another one of my favourite authors :) |

@EXTREMEmusiclover (Part two) 6. Do you read on another device? If so, what do you use and how many stories do you have saved on it? If not, how many stories do you think you have in your library? I usually read on my iPod at night when I'm going to sleep. I have about fifty stories saved on it, most of which I've already read. I'm ADDICTED to reading :) 7. How often do you read? Every morning and every afternoon. I would read more if I had more time. Reading is amazing! :) 8. What are some things that just annoy you to see in a story? When something doesn't make sense. I sit there going 'Are you an IDIOT?!' and then I feel really bad because they probably pout alot of effort into their story. Also when they have HORRIBLE spelling and grammar. It just makes me cringe. Another annoying thing is when they just throw in some RANDOM issue. I mean seriously? It's like a soap opera or something! Sorry, I'm raging... :) 9. Would you ever consider writing? I already have two stories, one of which is completed. It's really short though. Here's the links: http://www.wattpad.com/story/1319706-love-is-not-a-game-hunger-games-fan-fiction http://www.wattpad.com/story/1507543-dear-vanessa 10. What are some do's and don't's authors should follow? Spell and punctuate correctly, please. :) Also, don't go throwing in some random issue that has no relevance WHATSOEVER to the storyline. Also, try and be original! Original stories stand out among the rest! :) |

1. What's your favorite story gene to read? Fantasy l adventure or Fan Fiction (NOT 1D!!!!) 2. What you would like to see more of on wattpad? GOOD books, less Chichè and 1D books, and all that gay whatsoever. 3. What's your favorite thing about reading? The joy and imagine you get out of the other world, like in Harry potter. 4. What's your least favorite thing about reading? Dothing! Apart from when you get a bad book, or someone tells you you have to stop! 5. Who's your favorite author? J. K. Rowling, Potterhead for life 6. Do you read on another device? If so, what do you use and how many stories do you have saved on it? If not, how many stories do you think you have in your library? I read on both, but I have a bout, eh 10 or so stories on there, but there is more I read, I just haven't saved them on the app but I have a bunch of books in my personal Libary, aboy 100+ including the some that I rob from my brothers. 7. How often do you read? Mostly when people ask me to crituqe, I do a lot of RPing on here, and writing, so unless I find something good, I don't read THAT often on here. But with other reading, I usually read the Harry potter series every summer, and if I don't have a lot of gym, I can finish the whole series in like 5-6 weeks. 8. What are some things that just annoy you to see in a story? Romance, like a lot. Grammar kills me, even thought I do it myself sometimes, and when they use text chat. 9. Would you ever consider writing? I ALREADY AM! XD 10. What are some do's and don't's authors should follow? Do: if your writing a fanfiction, make sure you know a lot about what your writing about. Don't: if writing a fan fiction, don't COPY the book with a diffident name of characters or stuff. Do: have a thought out plan before starting. Dont: start without a brainstorming prologue, or thinking a bit before you write the first chapter. |

1. What's your favorite story gene to read? Definitely Horror or Thriller. Especially psychological thrillers. 2. What you would like to see more of on wattpad? I would LOVE to see more horror. Not corny horror, but legitimate, keep you awake at night horrors. If that makes sense. Haha 3. What's your favorite thing about reading? I love the way books can take you different places when you read them. Being both a reader and writer, I think a book is great because it gives me a break from trying to create my own world for others to enjoy, and escape into someone else's. (: 4. What's your least favorite thing about reading? I really don't like when I'm reading on Wattpad and the grammar, spelling, or any part of the writing is poorly done or hard to follow. It makes reading it a struggle and I rarely continue reading on. 5. Who's your favorite author? Ellen Hopkins. The way she writes in poetry form gives it such a unique flow. 6. Do you read on another device? If so, what do you use and how many stories do you have saved on it? If not, how many stories do you think you have in your library? I read a lot on my iPod and phone. I've got probably 20 books on my phone right now. 7. How often do you read? All the time. I read a lot for R4R, and when people ask me to edit here on Wattpad. Outside of Wattpad though, I read a lot of books; I'd say probably 15-20 over the summer, as long as I'm not to busy. |

8. What are some things that just annoy you to see in a story? I have when people are too cliche, with not enough originality in their ideas. I also hate when a writer decides to write their whole story in shorthand, with lots of grammar problems. It makes it so hard to follow! Even worse, is when they put faces in the middle of the story. (Ex: :3, >_<, -___- D:, etc) 9. Would you ever consider writing? Already Am! :D 10. What are some do's and don't's authors should follow? Do: When writing, make sure to proofread your work. Don't: Copy other people's work. I've had it happen to me, and it's really rude. Do: Be as unique as possible, with an original plot. Don't: Write in shorthand, text language. |

Hiya! Fav genre- fan fic and mystery! What would you like to see more of on wattpad- there is already thousands of stories in each genre I don't think Id need to see anymore than that! What's your fav thing about reading- this is kinda hard to explain :/ when I read, it's not like I'm reading at all, it's like I'm there watching everything happen in the book (that's why I loved the hunger games) What's your least fav thing about reading- there is none. Who is your fav author- Suzanne Collins! TeamGale! do you read on another device?- yes my iPad and my computer How often do you read- to tell you the truth, I add stuff to my library all the time saying 'I'm going to read that!' and I don't. My library is full of stuff that I haven't even read. What are the things that annoy you in a story- when the Author Basicly says is 'my character is perfect' try making up a flippin ugly one for a change! Wen everythin is spelt lik diz Spell properly people! Would you ever consider writing- I already am, and Im happy doing so :) Do's and Dont's authors should follow- don't write like 4 pages in one upload, it bores the hell out of the readers, like something intresting could've happened when they were gone reading your 4 page long upload! Do, if you have an idea write it down on. A piece of paper and write it out like a kid would do 'the van came around the corner and killed the bad man' then edit it! Don't have your story like every other one make it unique and different, take a look at 1D fan fics these days, you might as well copy and paste someone elses story and paste it onto Microsoft word then upload it onto wattpad! Thanks! @EXTREMEmusiclover |

What's your favorite thing about reading? Reading takes me into this whole other realm where there's no drama, pain or anything we face in reality, therefore, when I am reading, I am in bliss. No matter how ruined my day is, the moment I start reading a good book, my day turns 180 degrees. Reading also provides me with hope and joy I can't find in everything else. 4. What's your least favorite thing about reading? Time passes too fast when i'm reading =) 5. Who's your favorite author? Real life? A whole lot. Wattpad? xXSkater2Girl16xX -> amazing. 6.
