A participant of challenges such as Inktober and NaNoWriMo; Forthright has been encouraging her readers to recommend and send her—by commenting on her blog—both writing prompts and illustrations since 2018, including anime drawings and expressions. Forthright also incorporates her so-called fanart, readers’ polls—conducted on the Patreon website—and fan’s requests on her Twitter account. Forthwright, who compares her fantastic writing style to C.J. Milbrandt’s, also specializes with the paranormal romance genre.
