Questions: AFF routines and habits (stolen)

1. How long have you been on AFF?

September 26th 2010 (ay, 4 years 4 days ago!)

 2. How many stories have you written?

No complete. I've started two a long time ago (+ made a description on a third one). But I'll start one now soon. But I won't make it public until it's close to finished. That will be in a year perhaps (school makes me so busy!!)

 3. What is the best fanfic that you've read?

Oh... Difficult question. Several good ones. I can't point one that was my favorite. Anterogade tomorrow was very well written. That author sure has talent when it comes to word things beatifully without making it cheesy.

 4. What do you love seeing in the stories?

Originality, (not necessarily too original), good grammar, well written.

  5. What do you hate seeing in the stories?

-Perfect characters. Like a full friend circle are all smart and graduated from an awesome university at the age of, let's say 15.

-Repetive words. One good outcome from that is that I finally learned the word "ordeal".

-When the author uses immature language when the story is supposed to be serious. Use serious language then, girl.

-Bad grammar. When even I notice bad grammar (I am not a native speaker), then it's bad.

-Korean titles.

-Annoying es as side characters. Do you seriously need that side character to make your story move?

-Random Korean sentences in the stories. Especially if there aren't any translations of the sentence... But I'm okay with the use of names that actually means something (even though the author doesn't tell us). I once read a story about a girl called JangMi, then I found out JangMi means "Rose", in Korean. In another fic I read about HaNeul, which means "sky". So these fics taught me two Korean words just because their names was repeated over and over again.

-The wrong use of names when it comes to siblings!!!! In Korea, they usually name the siblings with one Syllable that's similar. If your OC is supposed to be, let's say.., Sehun, don't call her Hana (like 50% of the oc's on AFF; which also is annoying, unoriginal names), call her something with Se.. Like Sehee, or Semi, Sera, Seyeon, etc. Siwons sister is called Jiwon... This isn't always the fact, though. Sandara Park's brother is Cheondung (but Sandara isn't a Korean name).. and sometimes Koreans have only two-syllable names, so another name would be more fitting. Even though this isn't always the fact, I find it annoying when it's not written like that because this way of naming siblings is mainly used. I know, it's just a fanfic, but it annoyes me nevertheless because it seems even less authentic. And I'm not complaining about the parents naming the children, even though it is usual that the parents of the new parents name their grandchildren (but I don't know HOW usual that is. I just know that it was usual, at least before...)

 6. Name 3 things you love about AFF.

Reading simple stories that are easy to follow. I bring my phone everywhere, so it is easy to read all the time, like before I go to sleep, or before I get out of bed. I love waking up to new updates for my favorite fics:) *hint hint*

 7. Name 3 things you hate.

-Some featured stories dirt. Not to mention that some featured elements isn't even stories.

-The Karma point system is smart, but those who has a lot earns more easily, which lead them to easier promote their stories... Then it will be even more difficult to earn enough karma points to win a bid as a small author without enough fanbase. Sometimes a little promotion is all one need. That's why there are tones of promotions on all the walls, which is also kinda annoying (but I check out the fics anyway, just to be nice. They did come to my wall and left a message (Copy and Paste much?) after all...

-Hmm... That I can't have more than one portfolio site for my graphics?:P

 8. What is your favorite pairing to read?

Don't have any particular favorite. I'm not a reader of , though... Sooo.... [idol]xOC? huh.

  9. What is your favorite genre of the story?

slightangst with happy endings. Not too much drama, those tend to have annoying side characters.

  10. How often do you go to AFF?

These days i go several times a day. When I wake up... During breaks between lectures... When I go home...Before I go to bed... Right now I am at the just-before-I-sleep visit.

  11. Who is your best friend on AFF?

None. I comment on interesting blog posts, then there'll be a little chat before it stops. There are some people I can feel I would have more chemistry with, though, but nothing more than that. I don't have too many things to chat about? I don't know why:P

 12. Who is your favorite author?

hmmm.... if it comes to read most of the author's fics, there are only two I can actually menition.. dreamyflower, kyuhyunwifey. Honorable mention is sujudork602, she was definitely my favorite author in AFFs earlier days. An update from her was happiness:)

  13. Where do you come from?

Norway! An in Norway, I come from Valdres, a beautiful place!

  14. If you could change anything on AFF what would it be?

Something about the karma/bidding- and upvote/feature-system to make it more fair

 15. What is your biggest peeve on AFF?

Hmm.... except for the above... Hmm.. fake upates

 16. Which group do you mostly read about on AFF?

I read the stories I find that I also find interesting. Most of them contains Exo ofc, (or other SM artists). But I also read about other fics. I once had a period where I wanted to read about groups I didn't know that well. That way I would learn their names and maybe fall for them. I wanted to do that since I finally learned all of Super Junior member's names, and fell in love with Super Junior that way.

17. Which narrative person do you prefer?

Depends on the fic. I like both 1st and 3rd. 1st is more personal, though, but sometimes I like to see things in the other person's perspective. I still think I'll go with 1st.

18. What is your most disliked sort of story?

Where there aren't put any emotions into.  Both in the fic itsself, and the characters.

  19. What age are you?

22. Hi there, dongsaengs!

  20. What pairings don't you like?

I don't care about pairings at all.
