40 Questions for Fic Writers (From AsianNoodles)

1. Describe your comfort zone — a typical you-fic.
Romantic comedy with slight angst. Basically, drama!
 
2. Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?
Supernatural? Where people have powers and such?
 
3. Is there a trope you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole?
.. .. .. I actually don’t get why people write those things. It’s a very serious matter.. (No offense to any who does write it, it’s my personal opinion :p)
 
4. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?
Two? *Drum roll*
Trapped in a K-Drama Season 2!!!! I don’t know yet, will make a poll about this later
A supernatural/fantasy kind of fic featuring Infinite of course.
 
5. Share one of your strengths.
Cliffhangers! Muahahahaha XD
 
6. Share one of your weaknesses.
Coming up with those fancy descriptive words
 
7. Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
With a satisfied smile, she placed the note back on the message board. At this time, she couldn’t help but feel her mischievous side appearing. No one else had to know, but she was pretty curious about what the others wrote. Secretly, she started to pee at them one by one.
 
Trapped in A K-Drama, Chapter 43
So there is obviously a hilarious mistake here. Pee is supposed to be peek. XD But it’s so memorable I had to put it here. Hahahahaa
 
8. Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
“Sunbae, I have a question for you,” she began as she looked at him. “You have 27 jobs and you say that your family is not financially well-off. But why do you use your money on all of them instead of saving it up?”
 
Dong Woo started to scoff lightheartedly, as if he had expected the question. “Because to give is to receive,” he spoke wisely once again. “Do you know that? If you keep everything to yourself, you won’t be able to receive more.”
 
Eun Hee scrunched her eyebrows. “Why not?”
 
“Imagine a cup of water that is filled to the top. If the cup is full, we can’t pour out more water into it,” Dong Woo explained as he made some hand movements to show his idea.
 
“That means we should pour out some of the existing water so we can get new water,” Eun Hee continued.
 
“Exactly,” Dong Woo nodded proudly at her. “We give out the water, so we can receive more. To give is to receive.”

Trapped in A K-Drama, Chapter 44

12. What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever come across?
Descriptive is good, but being too descriptive will make people skip the paragraph. Like when writing 823748921763487623462, no one reads every single number.

17. Stephen King once said that his muse is a man who lives in the basement. Do you have a muse?
Infinite~
 
18. Describe your perfect writing conditions.
Being all alone in the room. That way, no one can see my overdramatic reactions when I write a fluffy or sad scenes. (I tend to cry when I write my own sad scenes. Lol)
 
19. How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?
Read it once before posting. And after posting, I read it over and over again to make sure there are no mistakes. But sometimes, I don’t catch them either.
 
20. Choose a passage from one of your earlier fics and edit it into your current writing style.
My earlier fics are all unpublished, and I’d rather not :p
 
21. If you were to revise one of your older fics from start to finish, which would it be and why?
They’re all unpublished. You would’t know the name even if I mentioned it :p
 
22. Have you ever deleted one of your published fics?
Nope~
 
23. What do you look for in a beta?
I don’t use a beta
 
24. Do you beta yourself? If so, what kind of beta are you?
I don’t.. My grammar isn’t all that good either. XD
 
25. How do you feel about collaborations?
I don’t think I’ll be good at it, so I haven’t done it so far.
 
26. Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.
omo904 – All her Infinite fics are soooo good and creative
amber_rose – She’s good with plot twist and making it very K-Drama like
KatingaTrouble – Her pace and descriptions are always perfect and emotional
 
27. Do you accept prompts?
Sure, it helps when I’m having a writer’s block
 
28. Do you take liberties with canon or are you very strict about your fic being canon compliant?
What? I had to Google this one. I guess the answer is no?

32. Would you ever kill off a canon character?
Heh?? No??
 
33. Which is your favorite site to post fic?
Asian Fanfics of course~ It’s a part of my life now~ <3
 
34. Talk about a review that made your day.
All the reviews were very nice and appreciated. I like one review where she used a reference to the fanfic. (Handing me a sticky note with approved written on it XD)
 
35. Write an alternative ending to Roaring Silence (or just the summary of one).
Jongie actually did die… Dun dun dunnn…
 
Hmm, questionnaire said 40 questions, but I only got 35. Did I accidentally delete some? So Ill just steal questions from another questionnaire XD
 
36. How many stories have you written?
On AFF? Four. In my lifetime? Infinite~
 
37. What do you love seeing in stories?
Good story plot, especially if it has a good plot twists. I also love reading about friendship. And relationships between characters that can make my heart beat faster XD

One that leaves out a lot of detail. A conflict happened because of a past event, but the past is never mentioned.
 
39. How often do you go on Asianfanfics?
Everyday.. Lol.. I am not obsessed..
 
40. Which group do you mostly read about on AFF?
