5. Top five formative books?
The Book Thief - probably my all time favorite book. I just love the creative style, the unusual narrator, the book within a book, its just, its a masterpiece honestly.
Warrior Cats - this series made me fall in love with reading so I have to include it. It also is the series that inspired me to start writing fanfiction!
The Martian - even though i dont particularly love Sci-Fi i just absolute love the voice in this book. also its inspiring to see a web author get so big!!!!
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe - i dont know what it is about this book but i cried the entire time while reading. its just so beautiful. one of the first LGBT books I ever read and really opened my eyes to the genre existing outside of fandom spaces.
Salt to the Sea - im always a sucker for historical fiction. I love the break neck speed of this book and the constantly shifting POV. It’s really well done.
7. Favorite/most inspirational book?
9. Favorite/least favorite tropes?
Favorite: Found Family!!!!!!
Least: Girl shows no interest in Men but just hasn’t met the right guy yet
12. Which story of yours do you like best? why?
Oh gosh, I honestly love most of my stories. They all hold a special part of me. I guess And All the Prince’s Men holds a special place because it got me through a long stint of depression. It’s also the fastest I’ve ever written a multi-chaptered story which made me pretty proud.
17. What things (scenes/topics/character types) are you most comfortable writing?
I love writing relationship dynamics. Dialogue is my favorite thing to do and when characters have interesting banter it gets me so excited. I just love figuring out little ways people can miscommunicate and then reach other.
I also really enjoy writing about anxiety and its effects on people.
22. Tell us about the books on your “to write” list
Oh man, I have a lot of ‘to write’ books of original content here’s some vague snippets
An anxious orphan undergrad discovers her past while grappling with the rapidly changing present. In a society on the brink of war that mandates its citizens to wear ID at all times that broadcasts whether or not they’re a ward of the state, a citizen or a foreigner. Its v gay and angsty and I still need to figure out how exactly it would end but it’s less cliche than it sounds I swear and full of twists and turns.
a girl born in the countryside in search of a cure for her dying brother discovers an old trickster god who demands she help him revive his brethren and return them to the celestial plane. Also v gay and a monarchy may or may not collapse?
I have this whole mermaid society mapped out but no plot so thats a thing that might happen eventually. It’s very gay and polyamorous. I have the whole courtship thing thought out L M A O. I just really want to write a mermaid story that has nothing to do with humans or land.
35. Post the last sentence you wrote
“I think it’s so lovely that Ushijima’s flower shop is right below you!” she speaks up as they walk down, “It’s so nice of him to let you both live here too.”
54. Favorite first line/opening you’ve written?
Iwaizumi wonders, truly wonders, how it all came to this. How he finds himself armed with a dirty plunger, sleeves rolled up, apron loose, surrounded by his screaming teammates and ankle deep water.
He decides, like he always does, that it must be Oikawa Tooru’s fault.
