MissAmazaynMissStylik Interview

Before we get started with the questions, would you mind introducing yourself  and telling us just a little about yourself?

Thank you again for having me. It’s a pleasure to have you interview me.

My name is Sammi and I’m 21 years old. I’ve been writing since I was about 15 and it’s something I truly love. I’m a massive fan of BTS and Namjoon is my bias. I love to make new friends but I’m a little shy in real life. I am also into a lot of idol games (Love Live School Idol Festival, Bang Dream!, Utapri Shining Live).

Q1: What kind of fan fiction do you write/ have you written?

A1: I started out writing One Direction fanfics and ended up branching out into a specific anime fandom (Yu-Gi-Oh). I mostly write a lot of romance and fluff. I’m currently trying my hand at a BTS AU.

Q2: What made you start writing fan fiction?

A2: I started writing fan fiction because I wanted to have a personal hobby. At the time, I felt like I wanted to challenge myself and try something new.

Q3: Were you scared to begin posting it online?

A3: Absolutely! I was terrified when I posted my first fanfic (which I have since deleted). I was only 15 when I started writing and it made me feel insecure at first.

Q4: Has writing fan fiction taught you anything? About writing? Reading? Something else?

A4: Writing fanfiction has taught me a lot. I’ve been writing for about six years now. It taught me to be more comfortable in my own skin and be myself. It showed me a path to my own style of writing. It helped me deal with my panic attacks and it made me find my own sense of happiness.

Q5: Do you ever want to be published in a professional capacity one day?

A5: Absolutely but I don’t think my writing will ever hit that level.

Q6: How you feel about the stigma surrounding fan fiction and fan fiction writers? Or, do you not feel any stigma at all?

A6: I feel like fan fiction writers get a bad rep. I’ve read so many amazing books by fan fic writers and it makes me wonder why people have that feeling inside of them.

Q7: Do you think that stigma is warranted? (Whether or not you have personally experience it?)

A7: Depends I guess. I mean I’m not speaking for everyone but people view these things differently. To each their own I guess.

Q8:  What’s your favorite piece of fan fiction you’ve ever written? Why?

A8: Probably my Namjoon AU. I’m not going to lie but I haven’t written a BTS fic before. The feeling of pouring my love for Namjoon and the other members makes my heart happy.

Q9:  What’s something you’ve never been asked but want to be?

A9: Who inspired you to write? It’s one question I’ve never been asked as a writer.

Q10: Do you write outside of fan fiction?

A10: I’ve tried but I wasn’t successful at it.

Q11: What site you (mainly) use to write fan fiction?

A11: Wattpad!

Q12: Why do you write fan fiction?

A12: I write fan fiction as a way to make a connection. As an author, I want to connect with the people around me. I love seeing the interactions between people who read my books. It makes me really happy.

Thank you again for interviewing me!
