The Olds are a trio of old folgies that met here on WattPad and bonded over things you youngins wouldn't understand.  Since it's too expensive to have a mid-life crisis, we've all decided to focus our energies into writing - and now we're expanding our energies to include hosting weird awards and lending a helping hand to the younger writers out there who might be interested in hearing the opinions of a few old folks like us.  If that sounds interesting, well - welcome!

Why hello! Eldest of The Olds here! I, NEH (he/they), have been writing for decades, long before WattPad crossed my radar. Old, queer, and full of awkward jokes - I'm a weird guy, and really just focused on writing and sharing my weird ideas with others of similar interests. If you like sci-fi and fantasy stories with queer casts, dark themes, and positive messaging - my stories may be your jam. Check me out at: https://www.wattpad.com/user/NEosHoward

Hi folks! Viv here! Welcome! I am the proud middle child of the titular Olds. I've been writing on Wattpad for just under a year now (it will be a year come June!) I write in the romance genres, tending toward dark romance, and ALWAYS feature diverse casts of characters. Come visit at: https://www.wattpad.com/user/vibewithviv

Hello! I'm the baby of The Olds, but still far older than most of the people on this website! I've been writing since I was seventeen years old, and I have developed a deep love of fantasy and creating worlds that are full of magic and wonder! (I also love me some romantasy...) I LOVE to see representation in stories, and love to see different variations of troupes that people produce. If your story has a quirky FMC and a broody MMC I'll probably jam out.
