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
