I Guess I will start off with who I am! My name is Amberlynn Morris! As Known as, LadyyGrenade, SicSlipknotChik, amberrangger and Purplebloodedvampire! I am 26 years old and have a love of writing! I am the original author of "I'm a Badass Gothic Half Vampire Lesbian" story! And My first draft that had been posted to a site called Quizilla, was stolen and posted here, by an old "fan" of the original version on Quizilla!
After finding the stolen version on Wattpad, I was VERY shocked and hurt! I immediately recognized the author as an old fan! The cover of the story is a banner that they made for me on Quizilla! So I messaged the person, asking why they did this and why no credit was given! I got no response! So instead, I began responding to some comments on the story and telling everyone who I was and why the story did not have a sequel! So This is to tell everyone the whole story behind this!

I was 14, when I began writing a short story for my then girlfriend! I was just going to write it for her as a birthday present and that would be it! But after having some close friends (and my girlfriend) read it, I was urged to continue it! Friends told me how they never had read or seen a LGBT Book or Story before! So I researched some books that were LGBT friendly, and noticed how very few books there really were! And that almost none were in the genre of fantasy or sci-fi!

So I decided that I wanted to keep writing the story! At this point, it was only a small segment of what is in the original version! So every day after school, I'd come home and start writing out drafts of different points in the story and elements I wanted to input! I started writing out my characters, what they looked like and describing their personalities!
After a few weeks, I had a rough draft, which I showed to my friends and girlfriend! They loved it and wanted more! So I continued writing and developing the plot! It was at this time, my closest friend told me about a website called Quizilla!

Quizilla was a website of TeenNick(that is no longer active), that offered a platform for teens to create and post quizzes, polls, news and stories! I began reading stories on the site, and felt that I hadn't seen many LGBT stories there either! So I thought that I should post what I had of the story so far, and see how well it goes!

I made a profile, calling myself PurpleBloodedVampire! Within a few days of posting the first chapter, I got tons of feedback asking for more! So I posted a chapter at least once a week! I  began making friends with fans and even adding a few into the story by making characters for them! I had friends telling me that, my story helped them somehow! Especially for my LGBT friends who struggled with their orientation! I was writing several other stories at the time I started this, so I put those off to fully focus on this one!

A while later, I was still writing the original version and posting to Quizilla, I was going through some personal issues! A lot of weight was on my shoulders with my Schooling, work, my home life and my relationship to my girlfriend. I was very depressed and was on medication for depression and anxiety attacks! My family was not very accepting of my bisexuality, which caused many arguments over my relationship with my girlfriend! Her parents were also very against it and did not like me at all(Which is why Trinetta's parents don't like Emery, I wrote out my story to resemble that point in my life)! I had issues at school due to a vision impairment I was born with! Basically, the school was supposed to enlarge all paperwork and textbooks for me to see it, and that was not happening! So I decided to get my G.E.D. instead of just walking the halls all day, searching for someone to enlarge my paperwork, and getting nothing done!

All of this slowed me down with writing and posting my story to Quizilla! I was working a job at this time, going to take my G.E.D, then working on taking classes for psychology after. And dealing with my personal life! Then to top it all off, around the summer of the year I turned 17, the worst happened! After leaving my high school, my girlfriend decided to get close to other people in my absence! I found out that she had been getting a little too comfortable with some of her "friends"! This hit me very hard! I was shocked, hurt and so very angry! I was in love with her and would've done anything for her! we have been together for almost 4 years! Everyone believed we would be together forever! My family even began to accept our relationship(hers didnt)!
