Fanfic Questions! I've been posting fics for 11 years, wow

I stole this thing from Tumblr (but deleted a few questions) it seemed fun to answer. If you don't want to read, can you still answer my question about my fics at the end??? thanks! :)

•  What made you start writing fanfic?

I guess I wanted to remember the stories I made up in my head. My first fanfic was about Final Fantasy, I was 10 and loved Cloud. I've been making my fics public since 2008... 11 years... I'm so old.

•  Which of your own fanfics have you reread the most?

None in particular, I always reread them all from time to time. Unless they're way too embarrassing. In that case I'll probably delete it as soon as I remember it exists somewhere x) Like I did with my Shinee fics, sorry to the people still looking for them D:

•  Describe the differences between your first fanfic and your most recent fanfic.

I've always been an underwriter. My professors at college loved my essays because I go straight to the point, but that isn't much of an advantage when writing fiction. Hopefully my most recent fics are a bit more descriptive, I still like to move things along fast, but I've been getting less and less critique about my pacing which is a good sign! I guess that's the main difference.

•  You’ve posted a fic anonymously. How would someone be able to guess that you’d written it?

I guess if it's written in a simple way, Yeol is dominant and has some kind of advantage over Baek, Baek cries a lot (I'm working on not making him cry all the time I swear), Jongdae is evil (why do I make him evil? I don't even know!!), Kyungsoo is Baek's BFF, and Kaisoo is kinda just there... it was probably me x)

•  Name three stories you found easy to write.

A Highly Inappropriate Chase was surprisingly easy to write, I wrote weekly chapters almost without fail!

Not Like the Others because that omega Baekhyun is the character with the strongest voice that I've written. He writes himself. I have his past, values, likes and dislikes so clear in my mind that I never have to stop and wonder what he'd do. That's why I add chapters there from time to time.

and that's pretty much it, all the others have had a point in which I wanted to just delete them.

•  Name three stories you found difficult to write.

Little Midnight Sun because I kinda dislike that Baekhyun? Why did I write a character I didn't like? I don't know, it just happened.

The other two would be stories that I deleted, I wrote myself into a corner I didn't like and struggled for a few chapters until I quit.

•  What do your fic bookmarks say about you?

That I love themes and undertones, definitely

•  What’s a theme that keeps coming up in your writing?

There's a lot of power play dynamics in my stories, that's why I devised the warning I copy pasted in a lot of them: "This is not meant to be a depiction of what a real relationship between human beings should be like..." I wish no one thought I support those things in real life. I mean, I could probably give a speech about the early signs of abusive behavior. I've researched that so much, and I'm very serious about it when it comes to reality, but a lot of people refuse to believe me when I say so.

•  Name three favorite characters to write.

Beside the obvious Baekhyun and Chanyeol, I love writing Kyungsoo and Sehun. They're such a good inspiration for characters, I find them the most interesting and intriguing among the members of EXO.

*****

A question for you... What's your favorite character that I've written? Which Baekhyun or which Chanyeol and why? I'm so curious about this now

That was soo interesting to read and I’m glad i know more abt ur love for writing ^^
I love all characters but the ones I love the most are your chanyeols lol for me in the chanbaek ship yeol always needs to be kind of dominant over baek,protective and even possessive, there even are some fics where I loved the plot but couldn’t continue reading because I didn't like yeol’s character. But then I found ur fics and I loved every single one of them without exception. In « not like the others » yeol was different cuz of baek’s character but it was soo adapted that I didn’t think even for a moment « ah yeol is not like I thought he would be, he can’t impose himself like an alpha should » on the contrary, u made yeol have a character that would make baek submit to him with a kind of compromise without killig baek’s character or degrading yeol’s « rank » (I don’t know if I’m making sens but that’s what I thought, I hope I didn’t Ruin what u wanted to convey lol)
Thank u for writing for the chanbaek fandom (I can only read those for now unfortunately) and thanks a lot for sharing ur stories with us ^^

I love all you characters because they are so underwritten! That’s the perfect way to describe your work and I love it! It keeps things interesting and most times it turns a simple theme into more complex because of the pacing? I just love this style and I think I can read any story written like this despite the preferences in shipping which I can’t say about most writing styles.
I love all the innocent characterizations of baekhyun and caring chanyeols you write. All the stories are written in a way that characters aren’t over the top and I am not stick of the tropes XD Their interactions feel very natural!
Recently I really like the characterizations in Palace Pet Wolf! I really love smirky yet cute baekhyun XD Also I feel he is mostly really rational which I love in characters. The characters and their interactions feel realistic despite their crazy dynamics. I love your work XD

I like many of your characters, most of them actually ... but these are the ones that stand out most in my memories:

I loved Chanyeol from "Royal Summer Love", he really cared about Baek's good and fought to win his heart and confidence! I'm waiting for the continuation of this story: D

I really liked Baekhyun's personality in "Not Like the Others", he was not a perfect person and he had conflicts with many people around him, but I liked that he always wanted to be a strong Omega that knows how to reach his goals.

And finally I must mention several of the characters of "A Highly Inappropriate Chase" and "A Very Unlikely Arrangement": Kyungsoo, Kris (Yifan) and Suho (Junmyeon).

I liked seeing a strong and loving Kyunsoo with Kai.
I loved Yifan for his patience and understanding with Suho. Yifan was simply like a perfect and indicated man for Suho.
And I liked the character of Suho, because you never knew with what sarcastic comment he could say, besides that I had never read about a character with his ual orientation (if we can call it like that?), I found it very interesting.

PS: I know it's been years but I'd love to go back and read about all the characters in "AHIC" and "AVUA". Do not hesitate to continue with another sequel if you have any ideas! :D
