About Me

Hi! Sonachi here!

My full pen name is Sonata Chiyu, and its also my game nickname if you happen to see me anywhere HAHA. Just a regular (not so) young girl trying to be cool and hopeful that people like her stories. Though its fine if it doesn’t happen since they will be quite weird and random XD

I love stories of all kinds, especially from Japan! Manga, anime, light novels, k-drama, k-variety, american TV, I enjoy many things. Which is probably why my writing will be all over the place in terms of style, but do bear with me. It’s probably also why I started so many projects at the same time- too many ideas, not enough stories, thus leading to our current situation of poor writing speed for everything:)

I also very much love food. Save for the times when I am dead tired, I live to eat! My favourite foods is definitely desserts, but in second places is meat (wow that difference). I never have any single favourite, it changes by the day, but if its tasty, all’s good with me:)

Also, you may notice that my characters have my name: it’s because those are me! KIND OF! Most of these stories are based on the random dreams and daydreams I have, so of course I’ll put myself inside. That and I chose my pen-name thinking its the best name so duh I’d name my characters with them. Call me narcissistic if you want, cos I’m pretty sure it’s true 😛

Just an appeal here: I have quite high standard of ethics I hold myself to, and being a Christian, I have a lot of ethical ‘codes’ and beliefs for myself. So when commenting or responding, I hope you keep it in mind to reduce unnecessary calefare, and we can all be happy. I’m still open to any views, no matter what they are, just so long as you say it in a not rude way:)

Thanks all, and I hope you enjoy whatever you read here!!

P.S.

For those who are wondering what ‘So Not Chim’ means, besides a play on my pen name, in my country, ‘chim’ or ‘cheem’ means sophisticated or profound and complex- what I definitely am not HAHAH!
