Been on Wattpad for - I've been on Wattpad, I think for a couple of months, I don't know exactly but it hasn't been that long.
How did you come up with your username?
I came up with my username after a lot of thought. There were many usernames I wanted but they were all taken (Great minds think alike :D) Then I remembered that in Japanese cartoons, they use 'Chan' as a word for friend. So I paired that with my usual nickname and Vuala!
What inspired you to start writing?
Everything. I never really liked the idea of living life with rules, so I always used to make up my own worlds in my stories where I could do anything I want :D
How did you discover Wattpad?
One of my friends had this app on there phone and told me to download it and I fell in love with it straight away!
What is your favourite chapter or story you have written?
My favourite story has to be Stranger (Damon Salvatore) It was my first story and as the chapters go on you can see how I progressed through my writing, I love it. :)

I love the idea of being able to do whatever you want in them :D
Who are your favourite characters in your stories?
Danny in my story BlueBirds. He's so cute!
How did you choose the names for your characters?
I chose my names for my characters by some of my friends names. However I usually think of the story line first, and then the name that fits it. Eg, say I wanted a mysterious character name, I'd choose something like Dameon or Alex. As for if I wanted a cute name I'd choose Jamie or Danny ^_^

Some un-important plot lines, yes. But I think my lifes too boring for it :L xD

I don't know, there are so many favourites!
Has any of your family or friends read any of your stories?
I hope not, I get really embarrassed when I get compliments off my family, I'm kinda weird xD
Are there any new ideas for stories on the horizon?
Not at the moment, I'm really tied up with my other ones :L
