Could you tell us a little more about yourself?
I am a twenty year old college student living in New York City. I'm a business major and I'm hoping to publish a book one day.
When did you start writing for the SOA fandom?
I started writing for the SOA fandom in September, although I spent close to a year planning out my SOA/Mayans story. What makes this fandom so interesting is that it brings together this diverse group of people who have in common the love for those two shows.
Who's your favorite character to write/read about?
My favorite character to write about is Gemma. She is a very fun character to write and it makes me happy to portray her accurately. My favorite character to read about is Angel, because in all of the fanfictions I read he is portrayed very accurately, and in fanfiction I get to see a domestic side of him that you don't really see on the show.
What do you like most about writing?
What I like the most about writing is being able to pluck snippets of dialogue and brief scenes from my mind and construct them into a story that I then get to share with others.
What is your biggest struggle during writing?
What I struggle with the most while writing is feeling I am repeating actions or using the same words over and over.
What is your favorite work and why?
My favorite work of mine is a Walking Dead fanfiction titled Daddy's Girl. It is about the daughter of Negan who develops a strong friendship with Carl and ends up feeling torn between her loyalty to her father and what is morally right and wrong.
What is your favorite SOA fanfic written by someone else?
My favorite SOA fanfic is From A to Z by PBBWriter. It's an Angel Reyes story, and it is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it.
What are you looking for while reading a fanfic?
When reading fanfiction, I am looking for a captivating storyline, organic relationships between characters, character development, and drama. I am also looking for things like good grammar and spelling and if the canon characters are portrayed accurately.
What advice would you give a starting author?
The advice I would give a starting author is to not give up. Beginnings can be slow and hard, you may not have a lot—or any—reads, votes, or comments on your stories and you may think your writing is not good enough. The only way to get better and to reach readers is to continue writing. It's also important to understand that you are writing for yourself as much as your are writing for others.
What other fandoms can one find on your profile or do you plan to write about in the future?
Besides Sons of Anarchy, I have also written stories for The Walking Dead and Harry Potter. I also have a One Shots book where I accept requests for a variety of other fandoms.
