Pronouns: She/her
Most popular book: Match

1. How would you describe your Wattpad journey so far?

Terrible on one hand because of the people (mostly immature children) who just comment to comment and say hurtful things without any consideration for the author. On the other hand its been Interesting because I've accumulated some like minded readers and friends who I appreciate very much. Wattpad has been the only platform where my work has been ruthlessly criticized for the most part and while I love criticism, I like it when it's helpful- not meant to make fun of me or tear me down. So to conclude wattpad has been a ride for me and I still have mixed feelings abt it.

2. How do you deal with hate comments?

At first I'd try to ignore them to save face and upkeep my internet persona but recently I've started giving everybody 2 chances. I'll ask them to stop and if they keep going I'll curse them out and that'll be the end of it because writing takes an insane amount of energy and transparency and lately I've been trying to protect my peace and myself.

3.How long have you been on Wattpad?

I can't remember the exact date but I know I joined before Match 6 came out? So sometime before summer started around May-July time.

4.What book gave you the most writer's block?

The book I'm currently writing now, Deviant Reality, I can't seem to get past chapter 2 and it's been the reason for my hiatus. Cause I know what I want to happen. It's the challenge of writing it down and explaining what I see in the mind's eye to my readers that's messing me up

5.What is your favorite fanfic that you wrote?

Definitely match 6, I loved writing the emotions and the arguments cause the chemistry between Eren and Y/n is too perfect. Don't mean to too me own horn, but Deviant Reality comes in second place because of the chemistry between Eren and Y/n, again😮‍💨

6. What made you want to start writing in the first place?

I have always been a writer, since the days of Kuroshitsuji. I only stopped because I lost myself to a very toxic relationship when I was 16. It was a struggle to find myself again because of the emotional and mental damage that person imposed on me and in the process I started picking up writing again to dull the feeling of the heartbreak and to feel better about myself and my writing significantly improved since the time I was 16 and I also used weed to amplify all the details and all of the little things I can think about regarding intimacy between Eren and reader. So long story short I picked up writing again to find myself because I didn't know who I was outside of that toxic relationship and I wanted to heal.

7. What book do you think you could've done better on?

None of them I'm confident in all of my works it's just a fact that I do not have a proofreader and even though I go through and edit and proofread at the end of the writing process I still miss little things and when I reread those things and I see little spelling errors I physically cringe but I think that all of my works are something to be proud of.

8. Did you ever think "Match" would get as popular as it did?

To be honest yes because I don't see many fanfiction's going into intimacy and chemistry like I do. This answer is based off of the fact that I never seen anybody with my writing style I never seen anybody write the things that I write so it's like yes I did expect it to gain traction because it's new and sort of taboo but people get past that once they see how good the smut is

9. What made you want to have "OhayoEren" as your username?

Because somebody already had the @ Ohayopoko so I settled for Eren

10. Favorite music artists?

I like a little bit of everything! Pop, rap, soca, dancehall, alternative, r&b and even more. Because my music tastes are so diverse. I always make a playlist for each fanfiction and those songs explain the vibe, the tone and the intimacy between Eren and Reader. There's no way to like put them out on Wattpad but they are all linked on my Tumblr. Currently I'm listening to Demon by King Von to help with the development of Eren's personality in DV😌

11. Favorite fanfic?

And my favorite book? Baby it's "Match?"🥴

12. What career do you want to pursue in the future?

Something with writing. I want to publish one book in my lifetime so I'm majoring in creative writing/journalism next fall when I go out of state to college

13. Childhood Obsessions?

I was obsessed with Alois Trancy from kuroshitsuji and reading, I read a lot of fantasy books by Rick Riordan cause his shit was topppp notchhhh😮‍💨

14. Do you ever get stressed being an author?

Sometimes I get really stressed out when it takes me too long to complete a story but I know if I'm taking long itll be good cause I usually put my foot in my writing😌

15. What made you want to write specifically for black writers?

Because I'm a black girl who didn't really see her kind of representation in the black reader tag so I decided to become my own representation 😌. Aka, hood black girl representation 💅🏾

16. Favorite Anime?

Attack on Titan ofccc!!!💓👏🏾💅🏾

17. Any hobbies other than writing?

I currently have no other hobbies but I plan on getting into digital art pretty soon 😄 I wanna be able to illustrate my smut for free😈

18. Favorite Fanfic that isn't yours?

Not Over Yet by @Dialectus. It's an Eremika and her characterization of Eren helped me with my characterization of Eren cause that boaaaaa in NOY? Man😮‍💨

19. Anything to say to the supporters?

I just wanna say thank you sm! Cause let's be honest i would be nothing without my mutual, my readers and my supporters and the feedback they give is appreciated so much and even though it will take a while, Match 7 will be out before the end of November💓🥺 Tysm for riding w me Yall!
