Naruto Magazine: Issue #3

☕Interview☕

Hey everyone! HipsterintheMaking is here with AllBeautyDestroyed! It's interviewing time.

When and why did you begin writing?

        I started writing when I was 13. Why? Oh geez it's embarrassing to say but I started first with poetry because...I was depressed and needed an outlet. Then I tried the story writing, which soothed me, and is now a part of my life. :)

So this is a dual account. Who am I talking to? Is it the both of you just wondering xD.How did the dual account come to be?

        We get this question often! xD No, you are talking with Avanthe, though Myra could be watching this convo as we type. o__o... Anyways, Myra is my real life best friend, and the main owner of this account, but due to her sickness she isn't able to be on as often as I am. We decided to combine our accounts because we planned on co-writing many stories however, I was inactive from writing for about a year and half, so Myra said she'd be starting her own stories but I was still welcome to add my stories whenever I came back. And here I am--obsessed on Wattpad. :P

So Avante, who writes Masked Identity? Is it the both you, you or her? lol

        I, Avanthe, am the original author. Though I have a habit of sharing my story ideas with Myra and get her approval before posting them. We've always done that with each other. >w<

Aw! That's so cute :D. Where do you get inspiration to write fanfiction?

 Why, thank you. :3 Ohoho...my inspiration varies lol I've been inspired by dreams, music, real-life events and even quotes from books or movies. Even a simple picture clicks my creativity. Of course, I had to read other peoples' fanfiction to be inspired to write one of my own. Masked Identity is actually my first ever chapter fanfiction.

Is there a certain type of scene that's harder for you to write than others? Love .3.? Action?

        ...I'm actually thinking. xD But I would have to choose action only because I don't care for such genre. I don't like writing about it, but I'll read from other people. Believe it or not...my strongest/comfortable scenes are the romance/smut~ *BRICK'D*

What writing advice do you have for other aspiring authors?

        Well I'm definitely no professional, but in my experience, my advice is to first think about yourself before writing a story; make sure that first YOU are happy with the plot before before worrying about the readers. If the author has fun while writing, then the readers will channel that as they read, thus earn the fans and the votes plus encouraging comments (which is what kept me going). Writer's block is a plague (I went through it for a whole year) and it's caused when one loses inspiration from simply losing interest or because their story isn't popular. Masked Identity started out low, but I was so excited for the plot that I kept on writing and kept updating despite the lack of attention it received at first; until finally I was overwhelmed with a handful of lovely and honest readers who complemented--or critiqued--my work. Do not abandon editing because Wattpad apparently has a deadly grudge against those who don't lol also don't stress about reads, votes or comments--those will come with time as long as you're happy with your work! :D

Haha xD! Deadly grudge, you say? I know that feeling. This is really good advice! About Naruto, what got you interested in this anime?

      Nah I had my good breakfast. xD Oh Naruto...that damn anime was what turned me into a dork. Well I love humor. I love to laugh (who doesn't?) and this anime certainly has that 'power' lol Besides the great storyline and well-thought characters, the ficitonal men--yes, I was interested because of the ninja men. Most of them are sight for sore eyes, like Minato, Kakashi and Itachi--especially Itachi. .__ .

Any last thoughts for our readers?

        Err thoughts? I have nothing whimsical except, stay creative, stay classy and... read the rest of this magazine~! >w<
