Q1: Can you tell us some fun facts about yourself?
A1: fun facts? theres a lot but i'll just say the ones that come right from my head. first off i edit on instagram (which you can find in my carrd -  atm i edit for genshin LOL) i also really like video games. they tickle my senses in many ways. also im hilarious actually

Q2: Are there any writers you feel deserve more attention on Wattpad?
A2: writers i feel deserve more attention on wattpad...i'd say @kidneydogsquad if you wanted to talk about follower-count wise because they have amazing haikyuu oneshots coming up that's like...genuinely well-written LOL. id also say @parhkers because vi knows her shit about writing (and she's genuinely good) and gravehop because y'all seen illya's works???? FUCKING PHENOMENAL NAURRRRR

Q3: What book of yours would you recommend to anyone new to finding your account?
A3: ive deleted a number of my old works but i think that lovin' - hatin' for the haikyuu fans would be nice. ignition for the genshin fans. i have new wips ill publish and update soon after my finals end though so keep a lookout 4 that ig? heh

Q4: Has becoming an author affected you in any way in your everyday life?
A4: a little i guess? the drama is mostly petty and annoying. although im considerably quite removed from everything as an observer since i dont interact much here

Q5: Could you recommend any writing tips for new writers?
A5: the biggest one i'll say is...stop using pretentious prose. it doesnt make your prose look awesome or anything and it's not impressive to put it bluntly. the whole point of writing is so that people understand what you're writing too so strike a balance between the prose and the simple language. simple is the way 2 go sometimes dont try so hard because it'll backfire. i guess the second one would be to make a conscious effort to understand your characters as you write. ive lost count of how many fics ive come across that's been portraying my fav characters in a distastefully ooc manner. for the third, i think it's good to think about the novelty of your story too? i love reading and writing about things that aren't written about often. go wild go crazy with ideas!!

Q6: What anime character would you marry? (based on who's compatible with your zodiac sign)
A6: nah idk shit about my zodiac sign i can't give you an answer based on who's compatible with my zodiac sign LMFAOOO + i havent kept up much with anime since games are taking over my headspace

Q7: Do you have a favorite trope to read/write about?
A7: i love the enemies to lovers trope the most im very much a sucker 4 that LOL!!! also really like the childhood friends to lovers trope too. i know i am a fan of even more though as long as its not some weird nsfw shit

Q8: Anything that you want to say to your friends/readers/supporters?
A8: to my friends who've been sticking w me on wattpad, I LOVE YOU GUYS GENUINELY you guys make me smile and are one of the reasons i still stay on this stupid orange app when theres better options like ao3!! to my readers/supporters who aren't annoying me in my notifs with unnecessary comments and are just cool people in general, i appreciate you guys ^__^ thank you for reading my stuff and taking the time to leave nice comments too even they make my days a lot <3

Q9: As a writer what's one thing you would want to change or add to your writing style?
A9: idk if i'd want 2 change anything actually. i think my writing style's at a point that i like right now ngl

Q10: What anime universe would you want to live in?
A10: i think it'd be fun to live in the genshin, jjk or bsd anime universe. id probably die real fast in the latter 2 universes though :skull:

Q11: How would you describe your journey on Wattpad?
A11: its cool and no pressure. fun sometimes too ig

Q12: What inspires you?
A12: other authors mostly!! aside from the ones ive mentioned, there's a lot of really good fics (on ao3, not wattpad) that i've read a lot and gotten inspired from, mostly from the writing styles and the stories. that or music that matches the vibe of the thing i'm writing about in that moment to get me in the mood to type out my ideas
