What is your username:

A. PoeticBeauty7598

When did you start writing lbgt stories? Why do you write them?

A. I would say sometime late last year, and I write them simply because I believe that if you love someone truly, whether it is someone of the same sex, or someone of the opposite sex, it is still love. I write simply because I enjoy the idea of a world where everyone is equal and wattpad makes it easier for me to create that fantasy.

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

A. As of right now, I have two fanfictions, BUT I have an original work that I have become stuck on. It's called Owned, and basically this is based in this time period, but women are owned by either their husbands or their parents. In the beginning of the book, you meet Page, a runaway/fugitive. As she gets picked up by a cop, another woman comes up and pretends to be her owner. Page instantly feels something for this woman, even though she is old enough to be her mother and married. In order to protect this woman, Maria, she skips town with her "gang" because they're afraid of being figured out. Well, she gets told to stay if she loves Maria, and she enrolls herself in school, only to find out that Maria is her Spanish teacher. Maria tries to deny her feelings for her, but she can't hold back anymore and they get together, but that's when you start to see more of Maria's husband. Later in, you find out that Page isn't who she says she is and that she fabricated a lot of lies to a lot of people, so that she wouldn't have to be afraid of hurting anyone else. I am unfortunately not sure how to continue the story from the point that it is at right now however.

Why do you think the readers should read your story?

A. Honestly...I don't know how to answer that question. I mean, everyone has their own choice, and Owned...really isn't as good as the first girlxgirl/teacherxstudent book that I wrote: Einstein's Theory of Love, but if I had to say the main reason for why someone should read my book, is because...I've been told that it is very good by some of my readers who I am close with, and it's very nerve wrecking to read it, because you get into the book and you get into a character and then some big twist effects them and it effects the reader. These bigger twists here and there and you slowly piece together just who these characters really are.

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

A. My favorite character would have to be Page, because she's selfless and she's loving. She's willing to die in order to protect the woman that she loves. She is funny and hardworking. She has had a lot happen to her and she's done a lot. She's made mistakes and she's learned from them.

Which do you like writing more (boyxboy or girlxgirl or both)? Why?

A. Mostly girlxgirl, I've never really tried working on a boyxboy one, and I have read a few boyxboy ones, but a plot for a book like that doesn't really click in my head.

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

A. My stories range from fanfiction, student teacher, girlxgirl, and a few others. I am proud of most of my books and they are really good to me. I have over 30 different books out right now and I am still trying to work on the ones that I added from when I first got wattpad, so it's a struggle.

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

A. Well...hmmm....I think I have actually. The book was being done by a friend of mine: @kaymiles. Her work is very good and I like her book: Who Owns My Heart in the Moonlight.

Do you write for yourself or for the readers?

A. Both. I start a book because it helps me relieve my feelings, and then I'll stop, and the reason I continue the story, is because of those readers who comment, which inspires me to keep going.

Describe yourself in ten words

A. loving, smart, weird, young, unique, freak, beautiful, hugative, confusing, and friendly
