1) "Name?"

perksofImagining.

2) "Age?"

20.

3)" What are your hobbies?"

Writing, photography.

4) "When did you start writing and why?"

I probably really started around 13/14? I remember I started writing because of some amazing hunger games fanfictions I would read, it made me want to create some of my own (I hand wrote them in a notebook btw, I don’t where it is now... but I hope no one EVER finds it)

5) "Which was your first story generally?"

Generally I would say a hunger games fanfiction. It was inspired by two fanfics I read and the movie ‘grown ups’. So you could only imagine the hot mess it was lol. Side note: the hunger games fandom has thee best fanfiction. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

6) "Do you write in some other website except Wattpad?"

I do, but that’s for me to know and you all to find out. (it’s just some mcu and jonerys fanfiction, ya’ll probably ain’t missing out)

7) "What has given you motive to keep on writing?"

I would say just gaining new interest or the love I already have for the things continuing to inspire me. Everything I write about, every character, is inspired by something I like or love. If I don’t have interest in the people the characters are based on or I don’t feel like I can write them properly, I won’t do it. Nonetheless, I’m going to keep gaining new interest or love for new things, so I’m always going to have something to write about.

8 )"Have you ever wanted to give up everything? (writing I mean)"

I think I have, but never seriously. It’s just me throwing a fit over having writers block lol. I’ll always come back to writing, and to an unfinished story. Nothing is ever left unfinished it’s just a writer struggling to find inspiration.

9) "Which is your favorite story on Wattpad?"

I have a few, but anything by @grigiogirls is a favorite of mine. She’s such an amazing writer with not enough recognition, she’s too good for us. The sooner people realize that the sooner she’ll get the attention and recognition on here that she deserves!

10) "Have you gained any friendship from Wattpad? If yes, which are your Wattpad friends?"

I think the previous question may have hinted at this next answer. Over the years on here I have made quite a few friendships, but the one I hold most dear to my none existent heart is the one I have with @grigiogirls . I love you satan!

11) "Do you relate with any of your characters from your books? If yes, which one and which characteristics are similar?"

I think I relate to all of them in one way or another. I think everyone I love I see a bit of myself in them, whether they be based on celebrities, characters I make up or characters written by other authors. Maybe it’s the same for every author? I hope it is. As for characteristics, I guess you’ll have to read my stories and try to see for yourselves which traits I associate with (;

12) "What did you study /are you studying/do you want to study?"

I’m studying English, but would love to branch into film. I love story telling, and after the last season of game of thrones, it’s an understatement to say that we need more women writers lol.

13)" Describe yourself in 3 words."

Indecisive, funny, loyal.

14) "What do you advise new writers?"

Just keep fucking writing. You’ll get better, trust me. I read some of my old work or earlier chapter of some fics I’ve written and think “how the FUCK did I think this was good?” it’s rewarding to see how you’ve progressed, and you get to go back to edit and improve now that you know better. Write about things you’re interested in, that you like or love. Don’t be embarrassed. There will always be people who are into the same things as you and they’ll appreciate your work. And because we’re human, we’ll want approval and attention. Don’t let lack of praise on your stories from readers get to you so much. I would at times, and it only kills your will to write. There ARE people who like your work, they’re just shit at letting you know lol. (hey readers, let us know you love our shit, okay?)

15)" Questions based on ' Stanger ' :  How were you inspired to write this story?"

I was inspired to write Strangers because of my love for Lady Gaga, Emilia Clarke, and my crippling delusion that they’ll end up/belong together. I feel as though they would compliment each other extremely well in real life as a couple, they just need to realize it! C’mon bisexual legends!! Just get together already!

16)" Who's your favourite character in the book and why? "

I don’t think I have a favorite in Strangers? I love them both so much? But if I had to say, I think Stefani aka Lady Gaga. Just because I got a better feel for her due to writing the story in her perspective.

17)"If you were asked to publish your book , would you do it?"

I would, but would have to change the names of the characters. Change a few things to improve it some more. Overall, I don’t know if I’d want it to be known it was a fanfiction of Gaga and Emilia, what if I become famous, that would hinder my chances of becoming friends with them wouldn’t it? Talk about embarrassing. Although, it would be a gate way to introducing them to one another....

18) " How would you describe your characters's personalities? What led them to be that way?"

Honestly, watch Gaga and Emilia interviews, watch Gaga’s Documentary available on Netflix titled Five Foot Two (shameless promo lol), listen to Gaga’s songs. I tried my best to model their personalities based off of what I know of them, and of what I feel they could be like in their personal lives. Trust me, becoming a fan of theirs will NOT be a regret of yours.

19)" How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?"

Oh bitch, so many. So many. Do you have time while I go and count? Actually never mind, I don’t have the energy right now.

20) "Any spoilers for future plans?"

Hmmm an update for my Lana Del Rey x Cara Delevingne fanfiction burning desire is finally in the works. Some other Lana fics with Zayn Malik and The Weeknd, a spin-off of one of @grigiogirls stories so keep a look out for that. Oh! And more Gaga and Emilia au’s of course.

21)"  Are you planning to publish a sequel?"

No, not as of now. But hey, you never know!

22) " Choose- 'challenge' two writers that you want to know about to do this interview like you."

I don’t have anyone to nominate/challenge. Is that bad?

CRITICAL QUESTIONS

1) "What is something that is really popular now, but in 5 years everyone will look back on and be embarrassed by?"

Mmm fuck, I don’t know. There’s SO many things. Probably America’s entire political climate. We’ve never been shit, but fuck do we keep making ourselves look bad.

2) "What ridiculous and untrue, yet slightly plausible, theories can you come up with for the cause of common ailments like headaches or cavities?"

First of all: what the fuck. Second of all: I have no fucking clue.

I do have some questions for you though, and I think it would be cool if you published these along with my interview questions.

1. what made you get into fanfiction?

Well, I was introduced to fanfiction in a Harry Styles book in my mother language ( Greek). I never thought that I would love it because back then the 1D songs that I was listening to could be count on one hand's fingers. But I liked it far too much for my (future) Healy because after that fanfictions became part of my everyday life. Firstly in Greek and after that only in English.

2. Do you ever get into the writing of people you interviewed that you previously hadn’t known?

Always! There are of course times that I'm kind of tired while reading ( I'm trying to make the questions fast for you guys) and I may not pay much attention on the writing but mostly on the storyline, but generally , yes I get into the writing of the book even if I know the person and his/her previous stories or not.

3. What did you think of Strangers? Was it what you were expecting? Did you know who I was writing about? Did you have any previous knowledge on Gaga/Emilia? Would you recommend it to other people? Who was your favorite character and scene and why?

It was reallyyyyy long to honest. Like I can't imagine how much time it took you to finish it, lol.

Yeah, I figured from the photos,cover etc who you were writing about.

Well, I can say I'm a huge fan. I know some of Gaga's bops ,of course, I've seen the movie "A Star Is Born" where she literally was amazing and it was all over the internet that she was gonna host the Met Gala alongside with Harry so our fandom had done it's 'research'.

And I've seen a couple episodes of GOT and I know Emilia is starring on that show but I don't know something more about her.

I would recommend it becauseit was actually well written, even though far too many thing happened in just one chapter. I think it would be better and less tiring for the reader to be separated in two chapters.

Well, it's just one chapter. I need more content to decide a scene. But I really liked Gaga's strong personality. 

4. You can only recommend one fanfiction to read for the rest of your life, which one would it be?

THAT'S DIFFICULT! It would surely be a Harry's fanfiction, that I know. But check my reading list "Gold (h.s)" and you'll understand why I can't choose with so many gems.

5. Also; teeth. What do you think of them?

Um...

They're, alright? I mean I like a beautiful smile with white , pearly teeth. And we should have good teeth hygiene.

I really don't know what I should answer to that. haha

Thank you so much perksofImagining both for answering my questions and giving me yours. It was an experience!!!❤❤

All the love,
M.
