Interviews With Wattpad Authors

Interview With SubwayStars

How did you discover Wattpad?

~ Nothing special. Just searched here and there, and saw this orange thing. More awesome than the Annoying Orange, by the way.

How did you come up with your username?

~ I came up with Subway Stars when I was feeling all mellow, feeling all, "Oh, where are the stars when I need them?" and when the song Born This Way was on its apex. I think there was a line there that said something about subways and when I mixed two and two together, I got the message that everyone can be a star even if you might think that you're lowly as compared to others. But not like I'm usually this philosophical.

When and how did you start writing stories?

~ Mmm, I don't really...know? I started writing stories when I was about seven years old, but that's just pure childishness and nonsense and with curvy stick figures to accompany. Not like my stories now contain sense. (But don't they?! :O)

Do you base your characters off of real life people? If so, how and why?

~ Ah, I'm not sure why, but I don't base my characters off of real people. Well, unless it's the protagonist, who I base off of me. But that's only seldom. Be-cause, just because.

What are your current projects?

~ Projects. Projects. Proj--err, I'm currenlty writing two novels at once, none of which I've already posted. One is the spin-off novel of my posted short story More Than a Crush, and the other is what I'm planning to post this week. Title? Fall For You.

If you could switch places with any character in one of your stories, who would it be?

~ I have a favourite character, but I haven't posted her story yet...Her name's Paige.

Do you have a motto? If so, what is it?

~ Only one thing is necessary.

Who is your favorite Wattpad author?

~ Definitely favourite Wattpad authors. With an s. :P I love racingheart's works. They're clean and smooth and altogether fun to read! Next on the list is AubreyEatsHearts. I can't help but gush over her romantic stories.

What's your inspiration of your stories?

~ Me, myself, and I. Nah, just kidding. That's just me being an entire hypocrite. Well, I get inspired by mellow songs that have a different aura to them. And I get inspired when I'm happy!!! :D

Tell us something about your story that you are currently writing so far.

~ About Fall For You? I'll give you a quote. "We both know that they end up liking each other. But in this game of flying without fear, who will fall first?" It's not just the usual cliched romance. I'd like to tackle here things that make love true.

Favorite book on Wattpad?

~ Absolutely Hey Mr Kidnapper, Can You Give Me a Ride Home? by racingheart. It's a light, but not so light, fun read. Anyone who hasn't read it yet must be from a different era. Seriously, have you been living in a different era?! :P

Favorite type of stories you like to write?

~ I try to be versatile, but I love writing about romance and teen fiction and adding touches of humour in it.

Favorite story you've written?

~ I haven't posted it anywhere yet, so do I spoil? And yes, my favourite character is from here too. :D

Do you have any methods you use to write?

~ Uh, Microsoft Word? 'Cause I'm techy like that.

Where do you think of ideas for your stories?

~ Anywhere, actually. Story ideas just pop in my head like a bubble.

If any of your characters came to life, who would you pick to be your soulmate and best friend?

~ Aw, soulmate! I'd be a big pain and steal Paige's leading man. :)

Do you have a role model you look up to? (Celebrities, family members, friends, teachers, etc...)

~ God. :)

Do you prefer reading or writing and why?

~ I prefer...reading. Writing tires me more. Reading gives me more inspiration.

Describe three words about yourself.

~ I'm three words? :O Just kidding. I'm horribly corny it isn't even funny. Okay, so maybe I'm funny at times. Often outgoing. Always frank.

Do you have a favorite undiscovered story on Wattpad? If so, what is it and do you believe it deserves WAY more votes and views than it has now?

~ Favourite? Um, none, really, but that's only because I haven't read much of it. But I will. :)

Do you have any really close friends on Wattpad?

~ Yes! Wattpaders are way brilliant, lovely and wonderful! My favourite amazing person is mystery_reader. :)

How do you come up with story ideas/plot?

~ As I've mentioned, they just, um, pop inside my head. It's strange.

If you could add one thing to Wattpad, what would it be?

~ I'm contented with Wattpad as it is. :)

Your stories' rating? (PG-13, R, X, G...)

~ PG-13! Woot.

Random question: If you were allowed to dye your hair any color, what would it be?

~ Reeeeeeeeeeedddddddity reeeddddd reeeddddd. Which means red, by the way.

What do your friends describe you as?

~ Kind of loud, brutally frank, says what's on her mind, sometimes mean, often friendly.

Do you have a nickname?

~ Myka. No, make that Kristein. Nah, it's Kris. Oh, no, just Myka. So, yeah. Myka.

Random question: What is your perfect/ideal date?

~ Not really a one-on-one date, but with lots of friends, and then he singles me out and tries to talk to me alone on dinner, with chuckles now and then.

Do you see yourself as an author when you're older or sometime in the future?

~ Ah, I don't. Well, maybe I do, but not like I'd tell you...

Do you have any shout outs you would like to say to your fans out there?

~ To every fan, thank you sooo much for everything! Your every word means the whole world to me! Now I own Milky bloody Way Galaxy!

Lastly, do you have any advice for other writers?

~ Write to express, not to impress. Don't write when you're uninspired. Smile.
