There Is No Balance!
Hey everyone, it's me again, MissBoss.
Tonight, I'm up for a serious talk about... what happened to good stories and good authors on AFF?
This is just my opinion but you are welcome to share yours at the comment section. I am only going to share my experience.
First of all, I do not claim that I am a great author who needs to get their sent to a publisher ASAP.
I'm just a person who happened to enjoy writing too much and wanted to share my stories with the rest of the kpoppers, like most of the authors out there. I've had so many ideas for fictions and I enjoyed writing them and getting the thrill any author gets after getting a few comments on their work.
That is all fine and nice, but what happens when you don't get comments, subscribes or views at all, even though your work is quite fabulous. It could be sold in stores and gets you more money than it could get you comments.
::::The answer is::::
YOU. HAVE. TURNED. THIS. WEBSITE. INTO. AN. EXO-FICTIONS. ZOMIBELAND
And I'm not excluding myself, I am an exo biased author as well. But I used to be Bigbang-author since the ancient days of this website. Find out what happened in the following response:
This is my response to the question: why are good authors overshadowed on AFF?
You know it's not about getting featured or popularity. I'm actually an author who gets praised a lot but never got featured or anything! I don't even want to, it's too much pressure anyway. Just write what you write, true readers who seek the joy of reading will find your stories and will leave you heart-warming comments too, trust me. But if you keep trying to write something that would fit the standards of the readers and not your standards, that's where you fall.
I know some people who write for trends for example. So if it's a trend to write for a certain character, group, or genre, they do it. Just to get lights, but that exactly is what gets them overshadowed. Instead, look for something that only you can do. Something unique.
For me. At first I started writing for BigBang. I thought there was just not enough stories about them, but then some hurricane hit and the whole website was Bigbang biased!! I was startled and stopped writing for them anymore (which was my mistake by the way) and started writing for Exo. they were nameless at the time, and I only knew three to four author who wrote about them and B.A.P continuously. I was encouraged and wrote for them too, but you see now, this website became the zombieland of exo fictions! too much exo fictions out there. I didn't repeat my mistake this time, but I might start rewriting for the other bands for the sake of balance, you know.
I hope you get my point.
And actually this rant was good, I'll post it up on my blog lol :)
This website needs some serious balances.
There are way too many great ideas that gets washed down the drain because they are exo-centered. I love exo (obviously), but I also love Super Junior. Big Bang. TVXQ. 2PM. BAP. SNSD. 2ne1. MBLAQ. BEAST and even Winner. I can abandon exo and just start writing for any of these great people and even the others who I didn't mention, but that won't solve it. It'll just tare at me because I also enjoy writing for exo, but that's beside the point; it actually won't change anything because I will be doing it alone.
But if every one on this site started writing a story of their non-exo shipped pair, alongside the stories that they are running!! The world will certainly be a better place, right?!
And readers who have trouble reading only exo stuff will thank you for eternity because they have MISSED their original otps from other bands or groups, and it breaks my heart when I see them begging of an author to write for their pairs too. (That is why I always accept requests, seriously, that's my only reason)
So yeah... that's all I have to say for that post.
Share your thoughts too :)
P.S. I seriously am going to start writing for Eunhae, Banghim and Gtop again... especially Gtop.
I'll try to keep my Taoris feels at bay for a while, but first, I have to complete the fictions I've started so that I'm fair.
And I perfectly understand that that'll never get me featured because only exo-fictions gets featured lol... but ya'll know I don't care about fame
I AM FAME lol
GOODBYE;
