What is this? Did you know that AFF is celebrating its 7th year of being up and running? Every year we have thought of ways to commemorate this special date by doing various activities.
With that being said, this year we have decided to make it all about you with these 45 questions, interview with yourself, survey, quiz—whichever you wanted to call it haha.
Why are we doing 45 Questions? Because... it's fun. Don't question.
Our theme for this year is the freesia, when given on the 7th Anniversary it upholds trust and faithfulness within a bond. The freesia is also a symbol of friendship. It was named freesia after Friedrich H. T. Freese by fellow botanist Christian P. Ecklon, as a tribute to their friendship.
This day marks seven years of trust, faithfulness and friendship with the site, it's creator and the community. As a thank you to all participants, we leave you with a thank you message from the creator of AFF himself.
"Happy 7th! I'm glad to have you all here, veterans and newcomers alike. I always tend to get super busy around AFF's anniversary time for some reason so I'm extremely grateful to Team Cactus for putting this together. They've come up with some really good questions! Hope you enjoy Team Cactus' quiz!"

1. Why was Asianfanfics created?
For Jason's girlfriend, I think. Which is very sweet.
2. What is the exact date of AFF's anniversary?
No idea. My math skillz tell me it was back in 2009.

Green.
6. How did you find AFF?
Via tumblr!
7. How did you end up becoming a member? What made you want to become a member?
I saw how this whole thing worked, how regular people of all age and race could just come here, write and receive feedback (read too, of course). It was a foreign concept for me back then, in all honesty - it was hard to write a blog people would read and leave feedback on, meanwhile, it seemed so easy with aff. So yeah. I wanted to share my writing, so I became a member, and I wanted to become a member because I thought this is a very welcoming and open community.
8. You are user no. ____?
How do I check that. Is that the number in my profile link?? Bc if yes then 144782.
9. What was your first username?
shawol-in-red-dress o r z
10. What was the first story you read on here?
I honestly can't remember, but I bet it was 2Min (what was my 14 yo self doing)
11. Who is the first AFFer you talked to?
I can't remember D:

I can't remember her username, but I know that she deactivated her account one day and didn't tell me she's gonna do that.
13. How many fanfiction/thread(s) do you currently have? How many of them are complete?
I have 10 fics, 5 of them is complete. Spoiler alert: there's a new one on the way. But let me take care of these 5 unfinished ones first maybe lol
14. How many unique subscribers do you have?
9950 beautiful souls.
15. What badges do you have?
3 year AFF member and Friendly (which is so nice).

Sadly, no.
17. Out of a scale of 10, how much do you frequent the site?
7, 8 on a good day.
18. What is the main activity that you do on AFF?
Writing. Also talking and replying to comments which I LOVE
19. How do you spend most of your karma points?
I honestly don't! But I used them once to advertise Shortest Way Home.
20. How would you like to spend you karma points? (E.g. Kpop merchandise.)
Haven't thought about that. I mean, yes, kpop merchandise would be great - I don't make money and I only ever buy things that I need for like, living, so wow, imagine being able to buy cool stuff with karma.
21. Have you ever uploaded a video in the video gallery?
...I didn't know there was a video gallery.
22. Have you entered the chatroom? How was it like for you?
I don't think I have.
23. What is your favourite feature of AFF?
Messaging is pretty great, and basically everything that has to do with communication (comments, wall msg and so on). It's just awesome to be able to tell your favorite author how much you love their story and vice versa, and to be able to talk to people from all around the world :D
24. What is your least favourite feature of AFF? How can it be improved to make it better?
Reputation, maybe? I know it's something normal on youtube, facebook and so on but I don't really see the use of it here.
25. If you could introduce just one feature on AFF, what would it be and why?
I have nothing.
26. If you could customize the way AFF appears to you, what color would it be? You could just pick one color or a palette.
Probably powder pink because I love powder pink. Honestly tho, pastel colors. Gimme.
27. Who is/are your best friend(s) on AFF?
There's too many to list them. Honestly, the majority of people I meet here are total sweethearts that deserve all the love in the world. emchan, en-deer-ing, kaitlynalyne, YifanForever, Korekrypta, headinthebooks101, prisilva, Vickey, Elsewherewandering, fs1919, I CAN NEVER LIST THEM ALL and if I actually try I'll forget like the half of their usernames and they'll hate me
28. Who are the users you want to get to know better?
Every each one of youuu.
29. Are you grateful/owe something to someone on AFF? Who and why?
S/o to emchan, who gives me story ideas and is my ultimate fav person when it comes to discussing ideas with. I'm also grateful for all my beta people :D Thanks for fixing my mistakes. And well, I'm grateful for my readers. I'd be nothing without them, and I do feel like I owe them a lot for how far I've come :)
30. Who are your AFF inspirations?
Korekrypta, because her writing is the epitome of amazing. Also emchan - she can make all my senses work (including my sense of taste, I'm not kidding) with her beautiful descriptions, ugh.
31. If you could put a star on any of your fics/threads, which one would you pick?
Running With Wolves has a star but only when you click the link to the actual story. It doesn't show up on my stories list and that makes me a bit antsy because I feel like something is off XD But that's just my low-key OCD speaking up. In all seriousness, I'd love for Shortest Way Home to get the gold star, because I'm pretty proud of that one.
32. What is/are your all time favourite storie(s)/thread(s)?
All of Korey's stories (except for the newest ones, probably, but not because I don't like them but because I haven't had time to properly read them).
33. Who is/are your all time favourite author/s?
I'm gonna go with Korey and emchan again, not sorry. Bear in mind that I don't have much time to read stories, tho, so I'm lacking in that department.
34. If you could put a star on another user's fics/threads, which one would you pick?
You Look So Precious (With Your Bloody Nose) by emchan.
35. If you could have any username you want, what would that be? (Did someone already take the username you wanted?)
I love my current username :)
36. If you would write a fanfic about your life in AFF, what would the title be?
That one girl who wrote that werewolf fic.
37. What was the weirdest thing you encountered on the site?
How would you define weird, tho? I feel like nothing on here is weird for me anymore. I mean, Baek x Obama??
38. What was the best thing that has happened to you on the site?
Meeting all the lovely people. And yeah, I'm gonna be honest, I'm damn proud of Running With Wolves.
39. Have your interests changed on AFF? If yes, in what way? (Eg. Change of OTP, bias group, AFF activity.)
I came here for Shinee fics and I stayed for writing my own EXO stuff. And yes, my OTPs and biases changed, but it's probably not only because of aff.
40. There are many communities now on AFF (such as the writing, designing, coding, applyfic, roleplay, reader communities). Is there a community that you aren't part of but want to try one time?
Ao3 maybe. I tried Wattpad some time ago but it was so confusing. It feels like ages ago tho so maybe I'll give it another shot tho. (But aff's still the best.)
41. What is the best thing AFF or being a member of AFF taught you?
English. Honestly, my English developed so much since I joined. And my writing. I've learnt to write better.
42. What is your greatest contribution to the site so far?
Writing.
43. What are your current AFF goals?
Finish my ongoing stories.
44. If the AFF community decides to do a get-together, how should we spend it and where?
Please just don't make it in the US because I won't be able to get there XD
45. AFF is celebrating it's 7th year and is continuing to grow thanks to our admin, Jason. Do you have a message for him?
Thanks for giving me a chance to meet people, write, and learn. Thanks to the fact that I got introduced to aff in quite a young (and very important) age, I got to grow as a person and as an author, and I'm really grateful for that. I'm sending hugs.
