Hey, I don't quite know what the questions where... all I got was this but oh well
Book: The Broken Crown
1. I'm not sure, actually. A lot of people have told me that it reminds them of A Song of Ice and Fire, and the books were sort of the trigger, but it's really a mix of a whole lot of story ideas and snippets that have been in my mind for a long time.
2. Not on this particular book, no. I've gotten criticism, but that's not hate, that's just being helpful :) I did get hate on a fanfic, I wrote once though. I just replied as politely as possible since the comment made no sense to me and told him/her to not read the story if they hated it so much or actually point out something helpful so that I could improve. He/she then blocked me...
3. The plot was a working process. Generally, long walks with my dog and the time before I fall asleep I spend on imagining things for my stories. The plot was merely a result of what I wanted the characters to do, and also it leads up to the plot of the sequel. The title was just a reference to how power destroys people and ambition breaks them.
4. Well, obviously A Song of Ice and Fire (George R. R. Martin), but also Philippa Gregory's Cousin's War series (especially The Kingmaker's Daughter) and Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth and World Without End. Those are all historical fictions that deal with power and loss.
5. Many! Outside of Wattpad, George Martin, Ken Follett and Philippa Gregory (and of J.K.R., but do I really need to say that?). On Wattpad,@AlysArden and@rskovach are amongst my favourites.
6. Any advice for writers who are also writing a Fantasy story?
If you're writing fantasy, the world building is incredibly important. You need to figure out how it looks like, who has power, which organizations play in, and the culture. Then you have to figure out how your characters fit into that puzzle, and whether they like it or not. World building is definitely one of the hardest things about fantasy.
7. I would just like to thank my readers. They are my encouragement. I would also like to thank my commenters. They are my inspiration <3
