35 questions for writers

taken from Emilieee, the one and only 

 

1. How did you come up with your user name and what does it mean?

honestly I thought aff was a sketchy website

if you look at it another way, it could also mean that sooyoung's my #1 (snsd's sooyoung, she used to be my ult), which is why she replaces the number 1 in 12345

2. Which is your most subscribed to story?

          dead flowers are still flowers I DON'T EVEN WANT TO SAY ITS NAME

          but dusk till dawn is a close second

 

3. Why did you pick your user photo/thumbnail?

Black-haired Baekhyun givES ME LIFE

(baepsaeeinislyf: "black haired baekhyun >> brown haired baekhyun >> any other colour)

4. Who is your AFF bestie?

I've been talking to Ehmiliey, sicaday21, baepsaeeinislyf, imrapunzel, bluelixir, fs1919 and luv_kero. All amazing people

(iloveyouallsomuchyoudeservethegoddamnworldasdfhgjhkl-)

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

carry your throne by fs1919. IT'S JUST SO ANGSTY (i'm a er for angst and fs1919)

6. How many stories are you subscribed to?

618. I've probably only read a third of them, so...

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

There's no specific au I write most but... the stuff I write mostly contain supernatural/fantasy elements?

8. How many friends do you have?

88 (also hi everyone I ifinally got the meaning of 88 I'M A FREE ELF) (also shoutout to bluelixir)

9. Is there something you'd like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

Not really. 

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at on aff? Writing, graphic design (posters), replying to comments, updating regularly, etc..?

Writing, definitely. Graphic design too? I've been trying (graphic design), and some people have said I've improved (but idk if that's the case aHAHA) 

11. How many subscribers do you have?

Unique: 217 Total: 319

12. How many stories have you posted online to this day (finished and unfinished)?

4 :) There's more to come.

13. How many stories do you have saved in your writing program?

A lot.  

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

I get story ideas from practically everything, and when I do, I usually just spam my friends and tell them what I have in mind.

I'm honestly so thankful for them tho?? They keep hyping me up even though I don't deserve it at all.

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

Nope. (Unless you count planning strawberry byun with kkaebsonged wow fun times ily)

16. How did you discover AFF?

oKAY THIS

I was trying to get into EXO and I wanted to know more about Baekhyun so I thought, hey, why not read some fanfics. I chanced upon AFF on the day Emilieee advertised Sea of Flames, and that was the first Baekhyun/EXO fanfic I read. I joined AFF because of it, and after reading a couple more fics, I found Fearless and I realised it was the same author who wrote Sea of Flames. I've stayed here ever since. So in a way, Emilieee really got me into EXO and AFF, and I wouldn't be this much of an EXO-L without her. 

THIS IS NOT A SAPPY LOVE CONFESSION OKAY

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author on AFF?

definitely not

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

Nope. 

19. Was there an AFF author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

Emilieee. You see, she's inspired me to do many other things and that's why I really appreciate her.

20. How many karma points do you have?

i refuse to say

21. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

You're not going to get subs/comments/upvotes right away. If you're leaning on that as motivation to write, then that's not going to go well. Write for yourself first. 

^^ That's her answer and I don't know what else to say, so...

but really, set your priorities straight. I wrote most of Time and tide during my exam period, and I paid for it. 

22. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

I just wing it man

I have this notebook and I did a little planning in it. For Dusk Till Dawn, I have a timeline of events to help me organise what I write. 

23. Have you ever gotten a bad review or comment on a story? If so, what did you do?   

          Not really. A reviewer suggested changing the the title of time and Tide to something longer, but I like it this way, so

nope.

24. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, , etc..)

 Probably action scenes (not that i've really tried)

25. What story(s) are you working on now?

All four of my fics, as well as wolf yixing and rebel kjd (and writer/murderer baek yEET)

26. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

ALL. THE. TIME. Supernova says it all.

27. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

Nope. I just write whenever I feel like it. I have like,, random scraps of paper where I write a few particular scenes in class, so that's that

28. Do you think you've improved as a writer since you first started?

A little? I'm still the same old y me, but maybe a little less y.

29. What is your favorite story that you've written?

Time and Tide even though i think it's trash and should be blown to bits. Mostly becaue of the feel of it, I guess. Baekhyun's so melancholic and hung up over the past and that pains me while writing it smh.

30. What is your least favorite story that you've written?

Dead Flowers Are Still Flowers see i don't even wanna sAY ITS NAME

31. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

Probably just getting started on wolf yixing aHA

32. How many upvotes do you have?

43

33. What is the easiest thing about writing?

Words jus come naturally when I'm in the mood.

34. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Keeping to a schedule, but said schedule doesn't exist lmao

35. Why do you write?

I actually really like coming up with random scenes and story plots, and the idea of bringing characters to life is kinda amazing (But I  horribly at that so rip me)
