@Romance I was looking for Warrior Cats fanfics, came here and then posted my own and got addicted via my crippling addiction with books

@Romance I came looking for a place to post my newest fanfic. I hadn't done any writing in a long time, so I was look for the old-fashioned forum setup, realized that wasn't really a thing anymore, and found Wattpad instead. And then I started getting consistent readers who I liked to interact with, and found authors I loved, and discovered writing challenges...it just snowballed. :)

I never knew there was an app called Wattpad until my online friend opened the door for me to enter this world full of stories written by passionate writers... I started reading stories here at first like there is no tomorrow and then thought what if I start writing a story too... And then, I realized my dream here, to be an author. To share my imaginary world in the form of stories, and I stayed and it's been six years and I am sure I will continue to stay.

@Romance I'd go with a single person, I don't have much close friends and I'd like to go with someone that knows me so well and vice-versa

          What's the most unrealistic romance cliché that you absolutely adore anyway?

@Romance enemies to lovers for sure

@Romance Omg enemies to lovers for real...terribly cliche but I don't care! Also the kind where either the girl or the boy of the couple is haunted by some past trauma and needs the other person's comfort...

@Romance, my favorite setting would usually be a mythical kingdom filled with mysterious and dark things and sometimes I love the setting of a dense forest with unknown creatures too

@Romance Finding put her mate was someone she could never have, Rowan fully expected Landon to reject her - until the sensual Demon Prince does something she didn’t expect: he claims her. His bold, impulsive move left them both teetering on the edge of deadly underworld politics, dividing loyalties and tearing apart courts.

@Romance When Dana's dormant magic explosively awakens during a Surface festival, she must learn to master her abilities under the tutelage of a seemingly benevolent mentor, while navigating treacherous high society politics and an enigmatic lord's attention—only to discover she's being groomed as a weapon in her mentor's desperate bid for power.
            
            Still an idea to take form!
