Hi guys, been quite a long time, huh? I recently made a Wattpad account. The name of my account is xxDAuthorxx. I've already published one chapter of a Red Queen fanfic called Shattered Swords.

Sorry for not posting for a long time. And how short this chapter is. I promise to make up for it. I had writer's block and couldn't think of anything. The winter holidays are coming up and I'll have plenty of time to write then, hopefully.
