Hi I'm Santo (she/her),
I joined Wattpad back in 2015 as a 'silent reader'. I came across this platform looking up some stories about Harry Styles, and that's how I learnt about Fan Fiction as a genre. I have never heard of it before and I always thought I was crazy for getting so hooked on some artists that I start making up these stories in my head, but apparently, it's a THING! 

Some of the very best books I've ever read were actually fanfic - I think the first one I read was 'After' sequel by Anna Todd, so you know... Started with the best there are :)  
I remember seeing in Anna's messages about how grateful she is for everybody's support and that she's now releasing her books and movie is on it's way... I couldn't believe that it's even possible for a fanfic. I think her success story actually planted this little seed in my head, that maybe one day I should try writing something too. But I never let that little seed grow into anything. Until now.

I was inspired by Andreas Haukeland-TIX's story - that's the guy who represented Norway in ESC this year. For weeks, I couldn't get his story out of my head, various scenarios were completely flooding my brain until I couldn't take it any more and decided I need to start writing them down. So here I am now - writing my own fanfic and publishing it for your eyes to see.

I must admit, every time I upload a chapter my heart stops for a minute. I'm not the nicest person in the world in general - I'm opinionated, outspoken and rude sometimes, so I'm not sure whether my personality or writing style will fit in with this community, but I'm no longer afraid to try. 

Hope you'll join me on my journey and help me see if I can actually be a writer. I was fighting this urge to write for most of my life, because I thought it was pointless, but now I realised that writing is probably the only thing that followed me around through my highs and lows, while all other hobbies never actually stuck. Hence, I owe it to myself to try.
