Hi! I'm Claire, I'll be your interviewer today. How are you doing?

Hey, I'm Hades. I'm pretty good! I've been super excited about this interview so I'm glad to sit down and do it.

That's good to know, it'll be also a pleasure too to interview you as you'll be my first client. I also noticed that you have 5 works in your profile, which is good.

Let's focus on your writing world; What inspired you to write your stories and what motivated you to complete them?

Well, from a young age, I've been writing. I've always been inspired by the stories around me, often times inserting myself into the story and acting it out. It's fun to be able to add something that hasn't been done before - or something that I think is compelling.

The motivation for my stories came from the comments and reactions of the readers. When I first started writing on Wattpad, I received high praise for my writing style and my ideas, which motivated me to continue writing.

Getting praise from readers was really a breath of fresh air since previously the feedback I had received from friends was less than kind.

That's great! Out of all the characters you have created, who is your favorite and worst character and why?

A character I've created that's my favorite would have to be one that hasn't appeared on Wattpad before, but they might later. Her name is Kodi and she was inspired by the film Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse, but since then she has drifted far from that concept. She has a unique ability that makes her carefree and unkillable by unnatural means, giving her a brutal and fun style. She's a mess, but she's amazing for that. Though I could've answered this with a character from my upcoming Wattpad story Always Saving Me, I want to keep that under wraps until it releases!

My least favorite character might be a character called Jayden from my story Professor Romanoff's Angel, while he was inspired by a real person, I didn't take time to make him human. Rather than making him a human with faults and desires and other things, I made him a punching bag for the reader's hate. I think if I could rewrite him, I could make his involvement in the story much more compelling.

That's interesting, maybe I can try to read some of your works to know more of the characters you mentioned.

What are your favorite genres to write and read and why?

Genre has always been difficult for me to figure out. When it comes to writing, I honestly never know what genre I'm actually writing in, though I've found I'm surprisingly good at writing sweet romance. I wasn't expecting it considering I don't read romance very much, nor do I watch romance films.

Reading is a different story, as I just mentioned. I think my favourite genre when it comes to reading would be fantasy, I really enjoy mystical storylines with magic and magnificent landscapes and other fantasy things like that. I love a good action story too.

That's great to know! Are there any deleted or changed chapters from a completed book that you could share?

There were a lot of changes to Professor Romanoff's Angel, and other stories too.

For my short story book, Romanoff's Red Room, there's an entire short story of 1300 words that I didn't post at all. It's nothing special though, it had no real story which is why I didn't post it!
