Here are the answers to the questions that you all submitted! I hope they prove insightful!

1.      Do you stan any other K-Pop group? (@emilypoole97)

I do stan a few different groups. The ones that I really enjoy listening to a lot (aside from BTS which will all know is my top) are: Tomorrow x Together, Stray Kids, Enhypen, Ateez, and Seventeen.

2.      What's your favorite color? (@No_JiminProtested)

My favorite color as a child growing up was always emerald green. The older I've gotten, I still really like that color, but I have to say my favorite has morphed into being aqua blue. It's just so pretty to me.

3.      What inspired you to get started on your writing journey here on Wattpad, and what keeps you motivated to keep going? (@SSears90)

I have always wanted to become a writer. I just wasn't sure the best avenue to try. I've tried a few sites over the years, but have really stuck to Wattpad as of late because I find it to be the best fit for me. Wattpad is much better than it used to be when I first started writing online around 2013. Now at least I don't have to figure out how to code things. 😂

In terms of motivation, there are two things that keep me going. It would have to be my love of writing and my readers. It always makes my day to see that something I love can also be loved by others just as much. Whenever someone comments on one of my stories, it truly makes my day.

4.      Ateez/Enhypen (@svnbtluvs)

I know that this is probably a question in regards to the 1K celebration book. Seventeen ended up winning the poll, so they are the group that I'm adding in to that book. Don't worry though. Ateez and Enhypen will find their way into a book on my profile sooner or later. Lets just say I kind of have a plan for one of the groups already, but I'll let you be surprised. Stay tuned!

5.      How do you come up with ideas for so many stories, and do you follow a specific writing schedule? (@shinhaari)

There is no set way that I come up with all my stories. 99% of the time they hit me out of the blue. Music is my biggest inspiration though. Normally a song is what inspires an idea. I'll get a small warning that my brain is about to either smack me with a new idea or an update idea if I listen to a song over and over on repeat. That's normally a sign my mind is chewing on something. (I know it sounds weird, but that's how my mind works. 😂).

I don't follow a specific update schedule. I just write what I'm inspired to write. I find that when I try to stick myself to a schedule that I end up letting someone down because I can't complete the goal. I just go where the ideas and characters take me.

6.      Can you talk a little about your favorite things to read? Favorite authors or genres? (@lexxandbts)

My favorite genres to read are mysteries, classics, and romantic comedies. When I was younger, some of my favorite authors were Roald Dahl, Judy Blume and Cornelia Funke. Over the years, I've been reading books here and there. If I had to chose a favorite author now, I would have to say Julia Quinn. I really have enjoyed the Bridgerton series. I have to get back to them!

7.      If your dream career wasn't to be an author, what would be another career you'd consider a dream? (@lexxandbts)

That's a good question! It's hard for me to think of something like that since being an author has been a dream career of mine since I started writing at the age of six (and yes, I wrote at six for fun and not an assignment). I think if I was to attempt to pick another career that wasn't being an author, it'd probably have to be geology. There was a time where I liked collecting odd rocks. To this day, there is still a part of me that is fascinated by rocks near rivers that the water washes up.

8.      What is your ultimate dream or goal when it comes to your writing? (@lexxandbts)

My ultimate goal has always been for my writing to be traditionally published and be sold in bookstores. I have always wanted to hold a tangible copy of my writing. It'd be cool if it were popular and became a series/movie, but I'd just be content getting it sold on shelves. That has always been my dream and will continue to be.

9.      Can you tell us the story of you discovering BTS? Also about how you transitioned into writing BTS fanfiction? (@lexxandbts)

I first discovered BTS without realizing it when I was downstate. I remember I was wandering in a store and saw a copy of their Lights album. I paused for a second to look at the cover, thinking they were cute but ultimately didn't buy it because I didn't know who they were. Sometime in 2019/2020, I was listening to Youtube while writing and stumbled across the "DNA" music video in my recommended tab. I decided to watch it and decided I liked it. "Fake Love" was the second song that really sealed the deal. It was then that I decided to buy a used album of theirs to listen to more songs. Love Yourself: Answer was the first CD I got my hands on and the moment I heard "Euphoria", I knew I was a new fan. Map of the Soul 7 was the first CD I bought new.

I wanted to write BTS fanfiction during COVID but was nervous about it. During COVID, I was still a new member of ARMY and was terrified that I would portray them in such a way that I'd tick fans off. I finally decided to stop hesitating in early 2022 when I ended up watching one of their comeback performances of "Anpanman" off Youtube. I'm glad that I took the leap now even though it seemed scary at the time. It has allowed me to not only craft some stories I'm proud of, but to meet amazing people that I would otherwise not have met.

10. Are there any of your stories or characters that you feel the strongest connection to or that feel a little more special than others? (@lexxandbts)

For stories, there are two that pop up in the forefront of my mind. The first being The Cupid Complex for obvious reasons. It was that story that was the start of everything that has transpired on this profile. Baby Daddy would be the second one that sticks out to me because of the background of Rai. I hold the same insecurities as her, so it was very raw and relatable to write. The characters that comes to mind right off the bat that I feel I have the strongest connection to are Charming and Rai. Rai because — as I mentioned a second ago — she is someone that shares my insecurities. Charming because he holds a special place in my heart. He was one of my favorite characters to create. He's so adorable and I just can't help but enjoy writing him.
