The response to this was more than I could have hoped for, so please be patient as I get to your interview! I aim to post 2-3 per week.
You can enjoy past creator interviews here. (Since I post these over time, sometimes projects are complete by the time I post the interview.)

How long have you been in the fandom for?
Why did you start shipping Ereri?
definitely the dynamic, the canon Eren/Levi scenes give much room for shipper to think about them and interpret them their own way, also the dynamic and canon scenes are a good basis for fic ideas
Thematically speaking, what kind of content do you most enjoy making?
any kind of angst with feelings (canon or AU)What is the work you're proudest of and why?
My ongoing fic "I'm Levi's" because I've started writing for it more than 2 years ago and this fic basically shows my development and improvement as a writer. I have started with it as a bad writer and I have grown while I was writing more and more for this fic. I've put so much time and efforts into it, so much angst and feels and deeply thought-out plot; I have experienced readers laughing, crying and screaming because of my story. I myself had gone through many emotions while writing this. While the story itself isn't based off on anything personal, it is still a fanfic I am most proud of.
What inspires you to create?
my vast and various ideas for Ereri, sometimes even Ereri art that people drew, canon Eren/Levi interactions
Is there any work you'd like to share that inspires you?
There is a writer whose Ereri fics are the bests that I've ever read, but that writer isn't in the Ereri fandom anymore, so I will only say that, yes, this author was/is an inspiration to me and to many others!
What projects are you currently working on?
My WIP "I'm Levi's" (which I've already mentioned and linked above)
What are your strengths as a writer/artist?
I have many detailed ideas for my stories and when I write about them, I always try to convey the idea the best way possible. No matter how hard it is to write something sometimes, I never give up. I love to come up with angsty stories because I have many angsty ideas. Whether a short drabble or a long one-shot, most of the time I add feels/love to my story as well.
What is an area in your work which you're trying to improve on?
my vocabulary and writing style because I want my writing to be more diverse in sentences and structure.
What advice do you have for other creators?
If you want to draw/write anything you want (and perhaps you already have ideas for it), no matter what, GO FOR IT. Don't look at what is already published or what other people dislike. This is your story/art and your idea, every idea is unique, so you can do whatever you want. Also, practice means improvement!

A day where I write and read so much
What are some of your favorite books?
'Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage' by Haruki Murakami is a really good book.
