What is your username?

A. wunderrlst

When did you join Wattpad? And for how long have you been writing (in general)?

A. I've joined Wattpad January of 2013 but made a new account which is this one on May 24, 2013. I've been writing since preschool but just gibberish. High school came and that's when I just began to write as best as I could because I considered writing as a future career.

What can you tell us about the current story you’re working on? Tell us a little about the plot and the characters in it?

A. Well, I'm working on 2 ones right now, one is coming soon and one is ongoing. The first one, which is the ongoing one is entitled "The Suicide Club". It is based off of my own experience with depression and I just began to write that story because I sort of needed an outlet to express myself. The plot is basically four friends get together and realize they are depressed and make an unofficial group, The Suicide Club. They don't reveal the reasons why they self harm or are depressed but some incidents force them to, strengthening their bond with the other three.

The second one is entitled "Sweet Disaster". It's a Teen Fic/Romance/Humor story which I actually got inspiration from a story ideas book here on wattpad. The story is Ryder Daniels is rich and somewhat famous so he always gets his way. His dad and him have a really rocky relationship because his dad believes Ryder is the reason for his mom's permanent hospitalization. Ryder also believes this. In order to get Ryder off his back, he showers him with money and whatnot. Ryder takes this as an outlet to forget his family and just does what he wants. He meets Penny Waters at a part and unsuccesfully flirts with her and he is appalled why she won't go out with him. Thus begins their love story.

Why do you think the readers should read your story (mention the factors which will be appealing to the readers)?

A. This is a a tough one! I guess they should read The Suicide Club because it will raise their awareness towards depressed or suicidal people. Right now all I see in society is that if a person is alive and suicidal/depressed, that person is scorned because he/she romanticizes depression. However if that person commits suicide, that person is "beautiful" or "a misunderstood angel". In order to prevent these types of things happening, raising your awareness towards the various factors that can lead to depression is very crucial. I present these in The Suicide Club.

People should read Sweet Disaster because it's fun. Just kidding lol. I guess they should read it because I'll be trying to take the rich arrogant stereotype and break that or somewhat modify it. It's gonna be funny to see what I do to Ryder in order to get a date with Penny. It also shows that family is not always that loving which is an issue that I think needs to be addressed because saying you hate your family instantly outcasts you. This is wrong because the people that outcast you don't know your story, and in Sweet Disaster, you will see how Ryder evolves.

Which is your favorite character, in the current story you are working on?

A. Currently for The Suicide Club my favourite is Trevor. This is because he is partially based off of myself so yeah ahaha c: For Sweet Disaster, Ryder. Ryder is the person I want to be, so living out my fantasy life in him will be really fun c:

How many stories have you posted on Wattpad (excluding short stories)?

A. I have posted five but I deleted two and the third one, Hipster Heartbreak is on hiatus.

Can you tell us about your other stories, any two other stories that you are working on?

A. I think I did that at another question so go read that paragraph all over again ahahahah c:

Do you offer critiques to other users? If you have offered a critique, mention that story?

A. I did! But I did waay too many because I was part of this critique directory once so I can't really mention the stories.

Do you write for yourself or for the readers?

A. For both. I want to make a living off of books but I also want an outlet to pour my emotions and fantasies too. I think Wattpad gives us that power so yeah c: ahahah

Describe yourself in ten words.

A. insanely normal but actually really hipstery and mysterious and unexpected c:
