Hey! I hope you're doing well. How are you? I've read your latest announcement about Ruin Soon being an original work, and despite not having the fortune of reading it myself, I am very proud of you, even if we aren't that close. It will definitely be going on my TBR reading list in the holidays, once I have the time after graduating, before it's taken down for good. I was also wondering if it's okay to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind answering?  ❤︎

My second round of questions is about your former graphic book and the 'Meet My OCS' guidebook. I was wondering what apps you used for your graphics and any advice on them. I found yours very aesthetically pleasing, but I can’t remember what you wrote in either book, to be honest. My memory’s bad, lol. As for your 'Meet My OCS' guide, I was curious about the questions and setup you decided on, as I’m making my own 'Meet My OCS' book eventually. I initially wanted to find inspiration, but I understand you took yours down because you’re not as active anymore. So, would it be okay to know some of the questions you included, or how you structured the chapters? I’m struggling with the layout, especially for the character chapters.
            
            Finally, my third and last question: what are your current fandoms? And regarding your bio layout, I noticed it’s been altered for quite some time. I was hoping to ask about the previous version, especially the section about where to find or reach you about your socials, if you’re okay with that. Do you remember how it was, and could you possibly share the symbols or design elements you used? I’ve tried to remember, but I can’t, lol. I’d love it if you could share or send it to me, as I’m looking for inspiration to create a new bio layout. Yours has always inspired me, honestly. 
            
            I hope you’re having an amazing Christmas and blessed holidays. I also wish you a fantastic New Year as we enter 2026. Thank you so much for considering my questions, and thank you for your kindness. <33

@cardiiac | Don’t worry, take your time when it comes to responding, I understand. I am in no rush for you to get back to me, as I’ll always be here waiting. Oh gosh, I also just realised you followed me, thank you so much. I can’t believe someone as talented as you would follow me because you’re such an inspiration and an amazing writer.
            
            Moving on to my questions, I wanted to let you know that before I ask, you don’t have to answer any or all of them if you don’t want to. I appreciate the time you’re taking to respond either way. My first question is: May I ask how you plan your stories? Are you a plotter or a pantser? How did you grow your community and find your aesthetic for your account, if that makes sense? Do you have Instagram or any other socials I could reach out to? If not, all good, of course.

          NEW THEME FOR THE UPCOMING NEW YEAR <3 
          hello my loves!! <3 
          i hope everyone is doing well! i am emerging (once again) from my graphic design lair to let everyone know about an EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!
          
          i am currently in the process (halfway done) with turning RUIN into an original work and submitting it to a publisher!!!! (hopefully, it goes well) this meansssssssss, starting January 1st, 2026, RUIN will NO LONGER be available on wattpad or anywhere else online! so, if it's been in your library for a while or you want to reread it, you've got until New Year's Day.
          
          (i am also turning my in-the-works emily prentiss fic into an original work that is tied to RUIN, which i am very excited for. many many exciting things are happening in the cardiiac cinematic universe)
          
          lastly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to all those who have supported my art in any shape or form ♡ you're all the reason why i'm able to (hopefully) publish RUIN and be the person i wished i could be when i started all of this in 2012. 
          
          i'll see you at the next check-in! 
          all the best,

          hello my loves!! <3 
          i hope everyone is doing well! i am emerging from my graphic design cave to let everyone know of a few changes that i'm making.
          
          01 | NO NEW BOOK TRANSLATIONS ↴ 
          i’m no longer accepting or approving translations of my stories. while i deeply appreciate the readers and translators who’ve shown my work so much love, i no longer have the time to manage NEW translation permissions. the current translations i have active will continue; however, that's it.
          
          02 | REGARDING LAYOUTS + GRAPHICS ↴ 
          as for my book and profile layouts—i’m OFFICIALLY letting go of my previous rule that required people to ask for permission before using them. my layouts are simply text-based designs using computer-coded symbols, and i don’t hold copyright over those elements.
          
          so no more gatekeeping here! anyone is welcome to use my layouts (book, profile, etc.) freely—no need to ask first.
          
          the only thing i ask is that no one take my original graphics, edits, or covers and claim them as their own. PLEASE don’t repost or rebrand my visual work as yours. beyond that, you’re free to use or draw inspiration from my layouts however you’d like! ♡ 
          
          03 | REGARDING PINTEREST + SPOTIFY ↴ 
          lastly, i’ve decided to delete my Wattpad Pinterest account, as it’s no longer something i actively use or plan to maintain. however, my Wattpad Spotify account will remain available! you can still access all the playlists i’ve created for my stories there if you’d like to revisit the vibes and soundtracks that inspired them! 
          
          again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to all those who have supported my art in any shape or form ♡ you're all the reason why i'm able to (hopefully) publish original works in the future and be the person i wished i could be when i started all of this in 2012. 
          
          i'll see you at the next check in. 
          all the best, 
          gray xx
