Thank you for 10k reads!

I asked a day ago if you guys had questions, so here we go! Some were comments, other's were messaged. Those who are named 'Anonymous' wish to remain... anonymous... this is a QnA about fanfiction why would you need to-
also not the same person. well, some may be but not all of them

Q: How long does it usually take to finish a chapter? (KanaMaster)
A: It depends on the length. But, if I had to average it, I'd say about 35 minutes writing the chapter, (I do it in one take, except for the longer ones and the ones I procrastinate on) and 5 minutes editing... (But I don't really edit I just skim to make sure there aren't obvious as day errors.

Q: Favorite Song/Artist/Band? (what relation does this have to- ykw nvm) (school friend)
A: Song: Midnight Thoughts, by Set It Off. Artist/Band: Panic! at the Disco.

Q: Where do you get your ideas? (Anonymous)
A: Some are inspired by other fanfictions, books, or something I see. Others are from my writing journal I have. (Handwriten. Over 100 prompts. There's even a whole page dedicated to how to write an injured character.) I also look up random things, like quotes, poems, song lyrics... writing prompts.

Q: Other fandoms before this? (another schook friend)
A: Yeah, I used to write Harry Potter and Percy Jackson facfiction, but no one shall ever find those. I also liked Ranger's Apprentice, the Kane Chronicles, Iron Trial... most of them are book series. I'm almost 100% sure that Hermitcraft is my first video series/online fandom I joined.

Q: Do you sleep at all? Before your school started, you seemed to always be online and responding to comments and random stuff on the server. (Anonymous)
A: You're talking about winter break? My sleep schedule during winter break? Oh it was non-existent. 

Q: Computer or phone? (Anonymous)
A: I use the computer to write/type and post chapters (though my computer is usually dysfunctional). I use the phone to read.

Q: Why a Quill? (_Ash-Potato_)
A: Ah, yes, a question about my username. It is my favorite animal's name taken apart and put back together in two different languages.
Gyrfalcon. Gyr reminds me of a griffin, which is a lion eagle animal thing.
Lion: Ari (Hebrew)
Eagle: Aquila (Latin)
Falcon: Aya(h) (Hebrew)
Ariyaquila is basically Lionfalconeagle in another language.
Why Quill? I didn't want to be called Ari because someone else on here (in this fandom) is already called that and other reasons. Aquila is also a constellation. I think I'm obsessed with astronomy and astrology.
Also Starlord? It's hilarious.

Q: What got you into Wattpad/the world of fanfiction? (Waffle-Ninja)
A: I used to read Harry Potter fanfiction on Fanfiction.net. I refound Hermitcraft, then searched up fanfiction for it. I found the Animal!AU story, and created an account to read it without an annoying bar in the middle of the screen... now this happened. And I don't regret a single moment.

Q: Why do you start writing? (Yuma_Nyx)
A: One-shots or in general? I write in general because it makes me happy. I can write out my emotions or what I'm thinking and hide them deep in the story. I write one-shots because I get a random idea and be like, 'huh, i can put hermitcraft characters into that.'

Q: Since you enjoy writing/typing, do you like English? (i shall ask myself because im curious about what my brain thinks.)
A: No, English/L.A. is my least favorite subject. I'm not good at it because every single question is like, 'why are the curtains blue?' and I say, 'because it's the character's favorite color.' But the answer is, 'because they're sad, depressed, lonely, and insecure about themselves.'

Q: Do you like pasta? (hehehelolhiiii)
A: You should really try to sing the C scale without laughing. You also ask me this every day.
...
Yeah I do like pasta.

Q: What is your favorite part about writing? (Anonymous)
A: I've gotten a few messages about how my writing inspired the other person to write. I also love interacting with my readers and other people in the community.
(That means you can request if ya wanna)
I love having a positive effect of someone else, even though I have never met them. It feels like I matter to some people, for once in a life.
