Hey guys! Sometimes I write too much and it's boring (I get it). My email is getting deleted, so please go to my new account (@tobias_william_green, tobias) because I had to change it. Thanks!

I love you so much. I read your stories and I loved them. And your reading lists are so cool.

@Jasminethewriter3 Why, thank you...you're actually giving me a reason to write here...〒▽〒
Zachary_Ellis
@Jasminethewriter3 Ooh, thank you! It's like, the first time anyone's ever said that to me! Wowwwww (screams, claps, and yells in excitement), thank you sooooo much, I love you too for saying that! I always thought that I was a sucky writer...THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH - YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME! (cries in joy)(for a day)

Why, oh, why did I write a Drarry fan fiction in the middle of the night?
Zachary_Ellis
Um, yes, in a sense? I was sort of delirious at the time (I just finished watching Kill Your Darlings and thought, hm, this might be a good Drarry pairing, and I was like, never mind, I'll do it). Thank you for adding it to your reading list, though (I have so, so much to do right now - I've just realised how much work Grade 7 requires you to do - and, thus, I might not be updating as often, also because I am aspiring to achieve a half-scholarship!), and I hope you enjoy it! For now...I might be updating less, so, um, sorry!!! (I'll definitely update in the summer hols...but that's an year away...)

Um, I watched Kill Your Darlings yesterday, and it was the best movie I'd ever watched. It was totally amazing (in a weird but good way, I suppose?), because it was real and raw and beautiful (humanity is overrated, yes), and showed the complex side of us, the deeper, darker heart. Also, the poets - and writers - mentioned in it were absolutely sublime (Walt Whitman, for example), and there were a few lines from Howl (showing Allen's thought process from his friends), and the way Kammerer was portrayed (sort of evilish but neutral, sticking to the real thing - the amount of arguments about him were head-throbbing) was honestly incredible. This is sort of like a Muggle alternate universe of a Draco/Harry pairing, with Blaise as Jack (the on-and-off flirting) and Theodore Nott as William (it fits all the characters! Harry - the Jewish freshman, totally; Theo - the one who slurs and is always living in a dream/fantasy, from Harvard, fitting for his demeanour (dark), the one who urges Lucien to confess (level-headed; cool); Blaise - the thing with his girlfriend (that could be Pansy, perhaps?), the rolling in a barrel thing, his friendship with Lucien (Draco), urging Lucien to forget everything (throwing the knife away), which is what he does; Draco - wild, dashing, breaking Allen's heart (Harry), a life of liquor and...erm, clubs, drinking, cigarettes, flings, yet still insecure, broken, needing Allen, and being forced to do something that he doesn't want to do but has to (for Kemmerer, in return for his essays, sort of like killing Dumbledore when he didn't want to - perhaps Kemmerer>Voldemort (highly unlikely)), and Draco/Lucien is also the one to introduce Allen to their way of living - you can only be reborn if you die - which is fitting.) Sorry about the rant!

Wait, wait, wait, why is it offensive? I'm really, really sorry about that! I apologise if it was unclear, and it wasn't meant to be offensive to anyone, sorry, if it was offensive to you!

Hi there - welcome to Wattpad! And thanks for adding Kiss of the Dragonfly to your reading list. I hope you'll enjoy it. I dig your list of favorite authors, especially Byron. Good luck with your writing, too. They say the first million words are practice, so it's a long journey, but a worthwhile one. All the best,
Gil

@Zachary_Ellis And thank you for your generous words. I'm very glad you enjoyed the story. Gil

@gilharriss Thanks so much! I'm definitely out of my depth here -- a fledgling compared with other experienced authors, in fact. I really liked Kiss of the Dragonfly! Your writing is totally amazing, and I love how strong Petra is (she's just like my mom in some ways, but don't tell her that). I'm really impressed by how you managed to write in sixty chapters, because I could never do that. I like Bryon the most out of all the poets too! Thanks loads for your support...I do hope I can finish the journey. Yours sincerely, Zachary
