1) How many works in progress to do you currently have in progress?

I currently have like,,,,, 4 works in progress that i’m willing to continue, that are 3 oneshots (2 bnha and 1 haikyuu) and 1 multichaptered bokuaka fic that is posted right here. theres also 3 fics i completely gave up on, and at least 1 more fic i already have outlined but didnt begin lmao

2) Do you/would you write fan fiction?

i do!!! i really love fanfiction, and i even did a presentation about fanfiction for a class once. the teacher was very impressed klgsdhgldskg he knew nothing abt it

3) Do you prefer paper books or ebooks?

if i can choose, i’ll always try to go for paper books, bc i just really like the sensation of the paper in my hands and the smell of new, untouched books, as much as i like the characteristic old book smell. but if i really wanna read it and i cant get a physical copy, i wont hesitate to get a digital one, even tho i get really distracted in contact w tecnology

4) When did you start writing?

honestly? i dont really remember why i started writing in general. i remember writing original stories since age 8, because i was a very lonely child and spend a lot of my time alone, playing games on our old computer. i wanted to be a comic artist one day and i drew a lot of comics, but at some point i decided to start writing them down bc i’d forget them before getting the oportunity to draw them.

i started really writing fanfiction when i was 12 to 13 years old and i got really into anime to cope with my crippling anxiety and depression. anime gave me life, and i had already came across the concept of fanfiction before that, but never really got interested in reading or searching for it. i knew it existed, but wasnt particularly interested, until i was getting into soul eater and i came across a fic on google. clicked it, read it and i was like “WOW.... PEOPLE CAN GIVE COMPLETE DIFFERENT DESTINIES TO CHARACTERS.... I CAN DO THAT, TOO” 

it also gave me the oportunity to pretend to interact with those characters that i considered my friends, since i had no one irl. so i started writing slice of life, comedy fics with self-insert OC’s. 

5) Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with?

my closest friends, especially @todoyamas, @jangbaekgi, @KwonSheri and @tinycute_turtle (all three from twitter), are usually the ones i ask for help the most, and the ones i trust the most. theyre almost always up to help me and theyve been supporting me almost since the beginning of time. sometimes i wonder how they never got tired of me. @shouyoto and a lot of other good people from our haikyuu!! server help me a lot, as well. 

6) Where is your favourite place to write?

on my computer, at home. cand and will write anywhere else if i’m either very inspired or bored. 

7) Favourite childhood book?

i dont remember most of their names since my actual favorite books were from my school’s library lhlkghsdglks but i remember all the clarice bean books as if they were written by me

8) Writing for fun or writing for publication?

mostly for fun and validation. writing is pretty much the only thing i feel like i’m any good at and the only thing i ever got validated for doing, so.... yes i like validation. and i also like making others happy. but its also because my ideas will haunt me like ghosts until i write them down, so i dont have much of a choice gklsdhgsdlk 

9) Pen and paper or computer?

nowadays i’d rather write on my computer, but when i was younger, i used to write on paper a lot, mostly because i’d get frequently grounded for things i didnt even do and had to entertain myself in some way. will still use pen and paper if, again, i’m feeling inspired or bored enough when im not home. 

10) Have you ever taken any writing classes?

i mean,,,,,,,,,,, not exactly,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but i am a literature major mostly because i wanted to study literature and write better. so, in my head, my major is a fic major. i use all my literary knowledge in fanfiction lkgsdhglsdkgdsl dont tell my teachers shhhhhhh

11) What inspires you to write?

honestly, nowadays what keeps me going, what keeps me writing, is the love and support of my friends and my desire to make them happy. i thrive on people’s reaction, i live to make others happy. i’d probably wouldnt feel all that motivated to write if it was only for myself. i want to cause people emotional reactions, i want them to feel what i’m writing about, like i feel when i read great fics around ao3. knowing something i worked so hard on made someone’s day make my day.

but, in case this isnt what youre asking me, i guess a lot of little things inspire me??? the stories my literature teachers tell us in class, new songs i find around, good fanfiction, good games, ghibli movies, disney movies. and also sushi. sushi fuels my creativity gklshdglkds
