✧ The A Part in Q&A ✧

Hello! I am slightly late because I wasn't having a good day but I'm here now! If I end up getting more questions, I'll either update this chapter, or I'll answer in the comments. I apologize for the spelling/grammar errors because I don't have the time to proof-read it all and because am super tired. Anyways, here they are!

"What's your favorite Haikyuu ship? And do you like writing stories about that ship?"

~ @AyoIsThatAMap

My absolute favourite ship has to be Daisuga because it's just such a wholesome ship! It's just the parents :D And yes, I really like writing about Daisuga. I do have other favourites too because I can't choose and those are Tsukkiyama, Bokuaka, and Kagehina.

Tsukkiyama because I just love the ship dynamic and how they interact with each other, I think it's very cute. I really like writing about this ship as well, even though I haven't published much about this ship. I have a smol trilogy of oneshots I've planned for this ship :D You might see that soon!

Kagehina is another favourite because it was my first ship and it'll always mean a lot to me, and I also love how they interact, making them super fun to write.

Bokuaka is just so wholesome!! I love their dynamic so much. As for writing the ship, I've only written one oneshot about it and it wasn't too fluffy and I really want to write more about it! But I'm sad because I know I'll have some trouble doing so :c

"Who's your favourite anime character? They can be from any anime. Also, what's your favourite anime?"

~ @Edolas22

It's very hard to choose an *absolute* favourite but if I had to, it would either be Kyoko Kirigiri from Danganronpa or Koushi Sugawara from Haikyuu. There are many reasons why I love both of these characters but I'll only be touching on a few.

For Kirigiri, I love how intelligent she is. She is also a very complex character and her character development was amazing. I look up to people who are knowledgable. She is also very calm during tough situations, and can be seen as emotionless and mysterious, which is something I really like. Along with Sugawara, she is someone I kin.

For Sugawara, I love how kind, yet chaotic he is. He is warm and motherly, but can also act like a child. He's just done so much for his team and not a lot of people talk about it. He was meant to be the official setter of Karasuno, but he gave up that spot for Kageyama and his team, even though it was his last year at that school. I'd imagine he was waiting since his first year to get that spot, but gave it up for someone he thought was more deserving. That's a huge sacrifice, and I love characters who do that for others (and Kirigiri did so too in Danganronpa 3, which is another reason why I love her).

He is also very intelligent because of how he is able to analyze the other team and come up with ways to stop them (which reminds me of a character from Danganronpa with the title of Super Analytical Prowess *wink wink*). He can also stay very calm. Damn, I guess I really like calm, intelligent characters what can I say.

As for my favourite anime (oh my Asahi my answers are so long—) I have to say Haikyuu. I haven't seen that many animes so I can't call myself a weeb :c but still. It's a super close tie with Danganronpa because that series literally ripped my heart to shreds and surprisingly, it was the first "anime" I had watched. (I'm quoting that because it's a series of 4 games + an anime later on in the series. The first game, however, has an anime which was what I watched but I do *not* recommend the anime at all, the games are much better—other than Danganronpa 3 because it is an official anime and isn't an adaptation). With Danganronpa, I didn't get to see that many cool group dynamics because well... they all doubted each other and lost their memories. Danganronpa 2 had the best group dynamic in general, but it doesn't quite match up with Haikyuu (but that's what was meant to happen. You can't expect much fluff from a killing game). Haikyuu is just amazing. (but so is Danganronpa)

1. What initially encouraged you to start writing?2. What do you like about writing?3. Are there any other things you enjoy doing besides writing?

~ @kiboooo_

1. In fifth grade, we were given a project and were told to write a book. That book of mine was *awful* but I found out how much I enjoyed it, and it started from there!

2. There's so much I like about writing. There's the simple stuff like how I can create my own story and world and weave together words in a satisfying way. But one of the main reasons why I like writing because of the emotions I can convey. If someone told me they literally laughed or cried over *my* writing, it would brighten up my day. Knowing that my creation was able to impact someone else's life is truly incredible. There also comes a lot of pride with saying that. Being able to convey emotions in an artistic way is just beautiful, and that's why I write.

3. Mhm! I like to draw and paint and I play a couple of instruments such as the piano, guitar, and ukulele, but I'm still a beginner. I also like educating myself of cool topics because I really like learning!

"What inspired you to write and what would you consider to be the best novel you've read?"

~ @rinasteele

I already answered the first question but I'll elaborate on it a bit more. I started with that book from grade 5, rewrote it when I realized how bad it was (spoiler alert, it was still bad), then I read a book on Wattpad in like grade 6 or something (I had an account back then but deleted it due to the amount of *cringe* that account gave me). After that, I wrote a 55,000 word novel which was inspired by that book I read (which spoiler alert was also bad). If anyone wants to know what that book was, it was this book called Man Hunt. (I used to *love* it but I think it's alright now. It's not terrible but I really don't like the characters, especially the main character) After that, I wrote and planned out a fantasy series (which is a project I am currently working on :D) and finished the first book last year with 85,000 words! (Which sorry for all of the spoiler alerts but it sucked too, it's now getting a rewrite and a replan). So yeah, that was my writing journey even though I was never asked for it pfft. Here I am now, writing fanficion on Wattpad and meeting amazing people.

As for the next question, I am sort of blanking out because most of the books I've read are either mediocre or just bad. I read this book a while ago and if you asked me then, that would've been my answer but I've realized how bad it is. It's called Eve: The Awakening if anyone's wondering. It's not *terrible* but it's quite immature, especially for a book revolving around college students. Anyways, I guess my answer has to be Keeper of the Lost Cities because it's a pretty good series! (I can't choose a book from the series pfft) I do have many problems with it such as the Mary Sue main character and this guy named Fitz. I wanna punch both of them in the face really badly. Keefe though... He's my man ♥️

Anyways, thank you all for the questions! I hope everyone is having a good day!

A letter from me to you,
