Hey guys, 

I forgot. Some time ago I used to do an 'interview' with an amazing BL newsletter on scribblehub. Please check it out if you want to (great recommendations there): https://www.scribblehub.com/series/217122/boys-love-newsletter/

Anyways, I thought why not post it here too. You can read it or not, it's up to you. Also, this really will be the last update, I won't be trying to beat a dead horse up to its leg over and over again and call upon Frozen Milk's rage to try to break through the fictional, dimensional or whatever barrier to strangle me to death. Thank you.


How did you get into writing BL?Honestly, I can't remember at all how I got into BL in the first place, but I still vividly remember what made me want to write a BL story. The side story of svsss of airplane bro the author and the villain aka luo binghe's dad. The humour in that and airplane's character was just so hilarious that I was like, damn I gotta write something like this as well.

And the idea of making it BL would only fuel the comedy, cough pardon I mean wannabe bs comedy, so there were more opportunities to make it more trashy. Now, here we are, writing a bs story that's BL but also not and now working on the second book of the series...

Among your own stories, do you have a favorite? Why? Why not if you can't pick one?Haha, I've only got one BL novel published, some fanfic and another novel that's a dark female-led revenge story, but I'm also writing on two new stories, so not sure if I can properly answer this question but well, out of all my stories it's definitely this BL one whose name I refuse to write because it's super cringy and I will forever regret naming it this. Please silently crucify me for my bad naming sense...

The reason why I like it is definitely the comedy, the lightheartedness and the characters. All my other stories (minus the fanfics pls heaven don't let me mention it anymore) are rather dark, sometimes gory, tragic, full of suffering etc you get the gist. So this one was very refreshing (altho it does have a small arc that's rather darker in tone) and I'm very surprised what an absolutely, unbelievably funny person I am capable of writing such a masterpiece that's the embodiment of humour (yes, that was sarcastic haha)

What do you like most about BL?To be honest, I don't like romance at all however there's something about BL that just makes me want to root for the couple. Maybe because it's rather seen as something 'forbidden' (since most people still aren't accepting towards BL), I don't know if that makes sense but I'm someone who likes 'forbidden' things, cough, yes I'm revealing all my kinks here. No need to thank me for this unnecessary info.

But honestly, I think what I like most about BL is the way it's written, the way the relationships are developed and unfolded. The kinks, plot developments or relationships are portrayed a certain way that appeals to my taste. I think what I also like about BL is that it doesn't shy away from certain themes or plot use that can be seen as dark, immoral or 'bad'. Ah, I don't know how to explain it but now I seem like a total perverted weirdo or my guilty pleasures are rather....?

As a reader, what are your favorite BL novels?Honestly, I could just ramble on and on about all of my favourite novels, away with all the other questions! No place for you here!

Definitely hands down one of my favourite novels, in general, are 'The Earth is Online' and now 'Card Room'. Both of them are just so good I can't describe them in words. Like the kind of good that drenches your whole body in honey and after you wash it away, voila smooth and supple skin (yeah, that didn't make sense). Both novels are, to be honest quite similar however card room is a bit more lighthearted and less focused on romance, there's very little of it in there, but they care more about the plot and that's what I like. I'm kinda into those survival games, horror and (post) apocalyptic stories and those two fit perfectly. The MCs and MLs (as well as the side characters) are great (such a power couple) and the overall rising stakes of the story makes you excited and wanting more.

Another BL novel I came to like, I just finished reading it, is 'Escape Infinite Chambers'. It falls into the darker genres as well but the plot is very good and I'm still broken from the ending or the story overall. I know there are some people who don't like it due to some problematic things in the beginning but I think after closing an eye about it, the rest of the story will leave you wanting more. I still won't forgive the author for the ending tho, it's a HE, but still, I'm completely shattered...

Let me squeeze another thing in, I really like Meatbun doesn't eat meat as an author. Her story 2ha, I did like but there was too much suffering and vicious knives for me to have it as my favourite, but what I absolutely adore about the story is the author's damn godly smut writing ability. I'm sorry, I know the smut in the chapters are rather non-consensual but it's 'forbidden' and is perfectly my taste. I tried reading her other novel but haven't gotten far so I don't know how the smut fares there but dammit, meatbun ruined me, I've read some other BL where the reviews say the smut is written great but honestly none of it can compare to meatbun's writing ability! I'm thirsty for the way she describes the steamy scenes ugh (if anyone knows amazingly written BL smut, do let me know~)

What is the scene or moment you are most proud in the entirety of your story (ies)? Some stylistic writer accomplishment or a plot twist or a specific character? Something that was super hard to write or something you just adore to death for no reason whatsoever? Why?Will I be bragging if I say the entirety of the story is what I'm proud of? Honestly, I always thought I wasn't a funny person, so it surprised me to see that people find it hilarious. Of course, there are also a lot of things I do regret and wish I would've written differently, but I adore this story a lot.

The thing I'm most proud of is when the villain is revealed and joins the harem, like hell, I got no idea how I managed to write that chapter and pulled of a plot twist like this. It still baffles me what my brain was thinking at that time. It just... I don't know, blows my mind for the entirety of the story because while proofreading and editing, I kept thinking 'did I really write this?' 'How the hell did I write this?' 'How in the world did I come up with this?'

Make a tiny character theater here where the MC and ML of your main (or most favorite) story meet with you, the Author, for the very first time. What would they tell you if they knew what you did to them throughout the book! ( ノ ¬ Д¬)ノProfanities and crude language below, sorry, also don't get confused about the names of the characters...it's supposed to be comedy *cries*

Frozen Milk: I see... I see, see, see...

Author (Me): ... what do you see?

Frozen Milk: *slowly stands up from the chair, walks to author, puts his hands on author's shoulders* *suddenly eyes turn bloodshot* I see that... you fucking piece of rotten wood are responsible for this brilliant creator's, me here, misfortune! What did you think you are doing huh? Did you drink an abundance of energy drinks, jumped from a bridge, ripped out your heart, had to sell your soul to the devil, flushed down your poop the wrong way so that it floated up and up and up again, to create such a fucking shitty trash story? Did a small misfortune of yours justify your sadistic crave to make the entirety of my life hell?

Author: *sweats* I... don't think your life is that bad though...

Frozen Milk: I can see it again... the absolute bullshit you're splattering everywhere! Screw you! How dare you be my fucking author! How dare you be my creator! How dare such a twisted scum like you pretend to be our god! I hate you! My life isn't bad? You go and try to save your tiny ass hole from being plunged, widened, ripped apart by ferocious characters that are way too godly for a normal human body to take! You go and try to endure a crappy, fucking AI system trying to establish dominance over the whole universe and endlessly enjoying your misery as its brain feeding entertainment! You go and try to-

Prota: Frozen Milk? Who is this? Where are we?

Frozen Milk: You still remember when I told you guys you were all created by me, the most brilliant author? Apparently, that piece of shit over there is the real creator, fucking creating me!

Author: So Prota is the ML?

Frozen Milk: Shouldn't you know it! You are the goddamn author! Get a grip, you're worse than me! I wonder how you didn't get transmigrated by your own blackened readers yet!

Prota: I'm the ML? Really? Frozen Milk!

Frozen Milk: Stop hugging me!

Prota: Author, since you're the author, clone Frozen Milk 5000 times, please! So, I can do him all night. No, wait! Give Frozen Milk the endurance of being bedded 5000 times a night!

Frozen MIlk: *coughs blood*

Vil: *suddenly appears* I'm the true ML. Author make Frozen Milk a super sadist, please.

Glimpse Water: *appears as well* No, make father have certain lusting tendencies towards his son her-

Frozen Milk: No inc***! Even if we aren't related!

Holbe: *appears* Author, my hubby should only belong to me!

Bro: *appears* Author, I'm allowing you to make my creator a perverted M.

Mr A: *Appears* No, author make Frozen Milk my willing FL!

Author: *sweats* I... can see... as well... now...

Frozen Milk: Once I really appear in your world, wait for me to obliterate you! *is being suffocated by all suitors*

Author: *sweats gallons of water* hahaha...haha...ha

Do you have recurring motifs or themes in your BL stories? Something you're obsessed with or in general want to explore more?Let me just answer this very badly and be hated by my characters:Making the shou suffer from an abundance of wild (handsome) hyenas wanting to tear him down and trying to find a way to keep his chrysanthemum safe.
