Interviews With Mcyt Fanfic Writers

7. Rainyjoi2009

I assume some of you guys have heard of the author Rainy (also known AJ) who has written a popular series based on Empires S1 called The Majors. If you haven't, go read it (the first book is currently under rewrite and the most recent book is on hiatus). If you follow Pearlescentmoon12335 or LDShadowlady301 then you have most likely heard of this book series as they also talk about it quite a bit. So definitely go check it out after you read this interview I had with them!!

Question 1: How'd you stumble across mcyt and start writing? Well originally, a friend of mine introduced me to Joel through his Build Vs series. I've been a fan since episode one (so nearly three years I think?) and started branching out and watching other creators when ESMP came out. I began writing because I wanted to put my thoughts into words, I had always liked making stories. I got my computer when I was 13 and the first thing I did was open a word document to start inputting my ideas for what is now Who Let the Demon Out

Question 2: Do you ever think of doing something else? Maybe writing original stories or maybe even stepping away from Wattpad and moving on with your life? Possibly. I'm actually working on an original story right now! But I don't see myself fully leaving Wattpad. I'm definitely less active than I used to be, but I don't think I'll ever quit entirely anywhere in the near future by choice

Question 3: If you're comfortable with it, would you mind telling me a bit about your home life? Do you enjoy time with your family or is it hard? And do they know about your Wattpad life? Well...it's complicated. I can't go as far to say my relationships with my family members are abusive, because they're not. But it can definitely get toxic from time to time. My family's very loud and physical, so a lot of shouting and fighting (I've only ever been hit by my siblings though, never my parents). Some days, it feels like everything's perfect, and I blame myself for even thinking that my parents were ever mad or angry with me, or seemed to hate me for who I am. Me being trans in a Christian household didn't go down so well. Then other days they're the reason I want to just be done with everything so badly. But I refuse to be the kid remembered only for giving up, so I live to spite them.

Question 4: Do you share the fact that you're on Wattpad in your life, such as at school, or do you keep it under wraps? I've told a few people here and there, but I mainly keep it to myself. I'm quite paranoid when it comes to what I put on here, and I'd rather not let the people in my life see who I really am just yet.

Question 5: Any plans for the future with your writing? Maybe any upcoming stories? Like I said before, I'm actually working on an original story!! (no spoilers for that yet), and I have been hinting at a possible WitchCraft SMP series that might be coming out soon ;)

Question 6: Are there any big mistakes that you regret in your life or anything you wish you can go back and change? Definitely telling my parents about wattpad. I had to ask originally to get it, I wasn't allowed apps or websites my parents didn't know about...but then I told them that I was actually talking with people and then they got suspicious and then they went through my Wattpad without be knowing and long story short they're aware I'm trans now—

Question 7: Are you facing any big struggles in your life right now? You don't have to share any specifics if you do not feel comfortable with it. Going to keep it vague but I'm really missing someone right now not sure you can really miss someone you've never met, but I do, and it gets worse every day, so really all I'm doing now is counting down the days until I can see them and hope I can last that long.

Question 8: How did you come up with The Majors series? It was safe to say a really long process- originally, it had begun with me being really bored at night. I basically inserted myself into the story, replaying moments form the series and debating what I would do in those situations. That self-insert slowly became Erin over time, and over a year and a half the plot sort of built itself.

Question 9: Did you expect your books and your original character Erin to take off as much as it has? N o- I'm still having trouble processing it. The shock I felt when it hit 1k reads at the begging of the year still hasn't worn off, let alone 20k. also, funny story- you guys were supposed to hate Erin, not like her, but uh...that definitely took a turn.

Alright let me know what you want next!! You can only recommend other people, no alt accounts, and you can only vote once.

Also some people have said that I should interview myself, and I could just answer the 7 questions if you guys want. And I would only do 7 bc the last one or two are normally personalized to the author/artist and I don't know what questions I could ask myself.

Anyway, let me know who you want me to do next and that should come out next week!
