> After the Fall by Kid_Kia

Logline:Two ghosts who were best friends when they were alive meet again in the afterlife. One remembers everything and the other doesn't. Together, they solve the mystery of their death, while hidden feelings might come back.

Q. How long have you been on Wattpad and what makes you stay?

I've been writing on Wattpad since 2012 and honestly I just keep coming back after a writing slump cause I feel like Wattpad is the best writing platform I've encountered so far with the most supportive community.

Q. Tell us how you came up with this story, what was your inspiration?

After watching the series of "Julie & the Phantoms" and "Ghost boy detectives" I just really wanted to write a ghost story... the romance part of it felt like a good beginning after a ruthless ending. The tragic part of it is just second nature. I seem to write a lot of tragedies since I've been very young (without even realising it yet).

Q. Describe the main characters of this story and how you connect with them.

Damien stand before the person he loves the most, he can touch, talk to and hear Lucas. Lucas is real and yet... he's not the same. That feeling of seeing someone important to you, that is a feeling I know all to well. I think writing Damien's point of view is a bit therapeutic for me cause it gives me a place to put that awful feeling.

Lucas on the other hand has no memory and feels like a ghost in his own life. His empathy and the warmth he shines out naturally is something that feel natural to me. His empathy is so big that sometimes it hurts him.

Q. Do you have a playlist for this story? What are your top 5 songs?

Oh Boi! This is going to be so sad...

1. In The Stars - Benson Boone
2. Before you leave me - Alex Warren
3. Ghost Town - Benson Boone
4. Memories - Dean Lewis
5. Drunk Driving - We Three

Q. What is your favorite time and place to write?

Honestly, on the sofa, next to my dog, with a cup of coffee or tea.

Q. Would you like to tag any of your friends or supporters and leave them a message?

Just, never give up on writing the story you want to tell.
