Writing survey (i challenge anyone who wants to try)

'Describe your comfort zone—a “typical you” fic.

probably fluff and romance. (and i know i never do this but with all my fics, i literally just want to make everyone gay/biual just like me LOL WHY)

(Me: ugh why isnt the world gay.

Me: oh yeah we need babies lol) 

Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?

I HAVENT DONE A SERIAL KILLER AU AND I WANT TO DO THAT SO EFFING BAD

SO. EFFING. BAD.

 

Is there a trope you wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole?

Hybrid stories. like no i dont want to read about wolf yoongi and hoseok. no i want them to be human so i can picture the characters. they could very well be genderbent for all i care but make them human

 

How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?

Okay, so i put most of my plots in my notes app in my ipad. i have 12 stories, but take away 2 because i wrote them on my notes before my ipad got wiped. so just 10 and take away 7 because they're one-shots. lets say i have 133 notes on my ipad (being legit guys im not kidding) and at least 33 notes are completely irrelevant. now 43 of them are like simple ideas for the stories i have. and another 20 are fics i have yet to start.

133-7-33-43-20= 30

and of course i go back and forth around fics when i get bored and i leave some alone for a while until i upload them. so lets say a good 25 fic ideas that i nurture ^-^

 

CARE TO SHARE??? okay so Seohyun is a princess and jungkook is her childhood best friend that she connects back with only because he commits treason and has to be punished cruelly, as all prisoners are, by floggings (whips). and she's screaming at them to stop because that stealer/misfit is her best friend.

Share one of your strengths.

Umm, I dont know. i think, clothes descriptions lol or really emotional thoughts.  like i write how it actually feels or looks because ive felt it before or am staring at a picture. its like painting a picture while looking at a photograph.

i also like my word choice lol

Share one of your weaknesses.

OMG TYPOS

AND ALSO SOMETIMES I MAKE HALF-ASSED CHAPTERS

and im super annoying sometimes lol

Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

Oh this is hard

umm okay ill try

 

Shin Woo's eyelids fluttered open, adjusting his blurred vision to the surroundings of the bedroom. He couldn't see the detailed decorations around the room, but he could see the wide cracks of cold, masked sunlight pouring into the room, and he could see the soft colours of the patterned quilt over him, and most importantly, he could see Jinyoung. He didn't need his glasses to see the details of Jinyoung because they were close enough.

The smell of Jinyoung's shampoo was light, but overwhelming at the same time. It was okay, though; Shin Woo had gotten used to that scent of roses and honey that he knew so well. And he liked the look of Jinyoung's hair, too. It was dyed a scarlet red about two months ago, and while he made jokes about redheads every five minutes just to mess with Jinyoung, Shin Woo couldn't deny the fact that it looked great on him.

And the younger's face. Shin Woo could kiss Jinyoung's face until his lips were sore if Jinyoung didn't push him off first. And when he was sleeping, he looked so peaceful and gentle, like a baby. His hair was messy and wild, straying any which way it could. His eyes were closed and his lips were parted ever so slightly, taking in air with the corresponding rise and fall of his chest. Jinyoung was quite possibly the most beautiful creature on Earth.

Shin Woo pulled his boyfriend's lanky body closer to his own, savouring the warmth that followed immediately after. He was careful with the younger, remembering how Jinyoung was sore enough as it was from his dance class with Gongchan. "Good morning, Jinyoung," he said softly, his voice thick and heavy with sleep.

In response, Jinyoung tiredly moved his arms and wrapped them around Shin Woo's neck. "Good morning, Dong Woo-yah. I love you," he whispered back with a light smile playing on his lips.

 

(okay so that is a snippet of my shinyoung fic Not Like Snow and idk i just thought it sounded really beautiful. like especially the part about Jinyoung's hair. "The smell of Jinyoung's shampoo was light, but overwhelming at the same time. It was okay, though; Shin Woo had gotten used to that scent of roses and honey that he knew so well." i'm just really happy with that line)

 

Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

K GIVE ME ANOTHER MINUTE

okay so this is a fic i havent yet uploaded but i dont know its really pretty.

Seohyun walked close to JungKook on the way to her home. He'd agreed to walk her home occasionally, and tonight was one of those nights. But tonight felt different. Perhaps it was the lack of music from the headphones around his neck, or maybe it was because JungKook had been quiet, hardly spoken a word. Or maybe it due to the streetlights illuminating their atmosphere since it was the first time they'd walked together at night.

"Okay, stop," JungKook sighed softly. Seohyun looked up and met his melancholy gaze.

"Hmm?"

JungKook sighed and looked around - looking anywhere but at her, really - as Seohyun returned her stare to the concrete sidewalk, holding up one hand just to take hold of her elbow. "Be straight with me, okay?" He asked after what seemed to be forever of his silence.

"Yeah, what is it?" She asked expectantly.

"Do you think it's possible for you to fall in love with me?" JungKook asked quietly, his voice hardly audible, but Seohyun heard it over everything. She finally looked up into his eyes and noticed how nervous he was. She reached out and took his hand, still allowing her innocent eyes to meet his.

"I suppose it would be nice to love you. I don't doubt for a second that it's possible," she responded easily. JungKook felt his heart beating in his throat at the words, but he didn't regret asking the question at all. After all, it was Seohyun.

With Seohyun, he wasn't judged and he felt comfortable, and JungKook couldn't figure out how she put up with him so well, but she did it. And Seohyun understood him so well. He couldn't help but lose himself in front of her. JungKook couldn't seem to keep a silent word if he wanted to tell her something, although everyone else thought he was full of secrets.

"So it's possible?" He said. Seohyun nodded.

"You've fallen in love with me, haven't you?" She asked. JungKook sighed.

"I don't know. Only if you like me, too," he responded shyly. The girl shook her head.

"Do you love me or not, JungKook?" Seohyun questioned, holding his hand tighter. He nodded and Seohyun smiled at him. "You can't just change your mind based on my answer. I've liked you for a long time. I have feelings for you. I just don't love you yet," she admitted with a bright smile. JungKook returned her smile and took both of her hands in his.

"But that's good enough, isn't it? Heck, we could start dating even if you hardly knew my name. You have feelings for me, so it doesn't matter if you don't love me yet," JungKook pointed out. Seohyun giggled.

"JungKook, you're just my dance partner," she reminded him.

"I know, but we could go out. You get me, and I get you. I could teach you to love me. It could work out," JungKook said with a wide grin. He knew in the back of his mind that he was just spewing naïve nonsense, but he didn't care.

Seohyun never thought much of it when he spoke of things that seemed too far-fetched or childish. She treated him like the guy he was, not like a little kid who needed to be held back on a leash. That was one of the best things about her; to Seohyun, JungKook was independent and had his own ideas. He wasn't treated differently because he was much younger. He and Seohyun were so close in age. Only a year apart.

"That's wishful thinking, isn't it? Don't get too far ahead of yourself," she told him, and his smile was erased.

"Yeah, okay. But I mean, you must be lonely at your place alone. Don't you think it would be nice to have someone with you, maybe to keep you company? You don't need anyone because you're perfectly well off by yourself, but it'd be nice, right?" JungKook asked her, quick to smile again as he found his balance.

Seohyun smiled at the ground and looked back up to him. "Yeah, I guess so..."

"Yeah, it would be nice. It'd be nice for me because I get lonely, too. We don't even have to start dating. Maybe I could just stay the night tonight," he offered.

"Okay," she responded.

 

(this is my favourite piece of dialogue because it's just so... delicate. like simple words can be put together and they can still be so hard to say. like "Do you think it's possible for you to fall in love with me?" and i also made seohyun very much like she is now. conservative and careful with what words she uses because she says what she means and means what she says. idk its very nice)

Which fic has been the hardest to write?

"Cold Hearted" for sure. there were so many times that i have just given up on that fic. and i feel so bad for my poor subbies who had to endure the whole fic because by the end it just wasn't fun anymore and i didnt like writing it so it near the end.

 

Which fic has been the easiest to write?

My fic "Enchanted To Meet You" was pretty easy i think. it was also very fun to write.

 

Is writing your passion or just a fun hobby?

A passion for sure. i dont think i could survive without writing. i do it everyday and it's alot of fun and its sort of an escape from life, living through other people's lives where anything could happen.

(AND THERES THAT DESCRIPTION AGAIN WOOHOO LILLY)

Is there an episode above all others that inspires you just a little bit more?

I'm actually confused. what episode?

I DONT WATCH ANY TV SHOWS UGH

 

What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever come across?

It really doen't matter how popular something gets. It shouldn't matter if no one subscribes. if something is fun to write and you enjoy yourself when you're writing, it makes no difference if you have 20864 subbies, 800 subbies, 2 subbies, or none. what matters is that you're enjoying yourself (and i can almost guarantee someone is still reading it and smiling at their screen ^-^)

 

What’s the worst writing advice you’ve ever come across?

LOL IDK

I dunno lol. .. It's called

 

mhmm youre welcome ^-^

If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would you choose?

OH MY GOD. i choose "Hell on Earth" only because most of the scenes I can picture so well.

 

If you could only write one pairing for the rest of your life, which pairing would it be?

YoonSeok or SeoKook

and i would be completely fine with that lol

 

Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?

Both. i have a seperate note for certain scenes that i add in when they are appropriate

 

Do you use any tools, like worksheets or outlines?

NEITHER ONE BECAUSE IM DISORGANIZED AND ANNOYING WOOOOO

 

Stephen King once said that his muse is a man who lives in the basement. Do you have a muse?

Umm stephen king are you okay

WAIT HOLD UP IS MY MUSE IN THE BASEMENT?? WHAT IF HE/SHE STARVES???

*checks basement*

oh wait thats my room. umm well maybe my muse is me? i dont know lol

 

Describe your perfect writing conditions.

Umm, raining outside or just typically dark, headphones on with the perfect song, and sitting at my computer chair with my ipad and plenty of ideas in my head lol

 

How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?

Once for spelling mistakes or to fix anything that doesnt make sense to make sure the readers dont think im a foreign speaker lol

 

Choose a passage from one of your earlier fics and edit it into your current writing style

OH GOD ALL MY STORIES ARE REALLY CURRENT.

okay maybe ill do one from my other account (which i cant get into anymore which is why i made this one but they're still my stories.)

okay so im gonna do a chapter of my old ftisland fic "Can't go back home

 

previous version:

"Okay, I will. Why don't you smile more? Jonghoon was right when he said you look pretty when you're happy," he said adorably. I giggled a little, but then I reverted back to my frown. "No, you were so pretty right there. Shall I give you a reason to smile?"

"I don't know. I don't know if I want to smile at all," I told him. "It depends on the reason."

"Well, you're talking to me, Song Seunghyun, guitarist and rapper of FT island," he answered with a giggle. I smiled a little. "No, more." I shook my head and frowned because my father kept breaking into my thoughts.

"I have nothing to smile about, Seunghyun," I said, knowing he would try again. Then I realized: What happens if I have to go? If I make the manager mad at me, or the boys get tired of me, or the Primadonnas don't want me anymore, what will I do? This thought broke my heart, and I felt a lump in my throat forming. I looked into Seunghyun's eyes with the terrible question replaying in my head: You guys will leave me and Ally alone in the cold, won't you? Even though Seunghyun's eyes looked so innocent as if he and his friends would keep me forever, I knew it wouldn't be like this.

The lump become a cancerous tumor as his eyes become soft and sympathetic to my broken and soulless being. He leaned forward and kissed my lips, and I could tell he was trying hard to make me smile again. His lips were so soft and sweet, and the kiss was the most perfect thing I had ever felt. It was so.... unique, and it made me sad that I'd never get another perfect kiss like this one. He pulled away, but I still couldn't help the goofy grin I stretched across my face. "Much better. You're so much happier," he said with a soft smile, which made me giggle.

"Why did you wake me up? Was it just because you wanted to kiss me?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. Seunghyun blushed a little and got up, offering me a hand to help me up off the couch. I gladly took it and he brought me up.

"Anya, I wanted to take you to-" Seunghyun was interrupted by a phone call. He quickly took his phone out and answered. "Hello?" he answered. "Hyung, I just got a little sidetracked, so don't yell at me. Haha, funny, you're killing me, hyung. Okay, bye," he said, pausing between sentences. 

 

Current:

"Okay, I will. Why don't you smile more? Jonghoon was right when he said you look pretty when you're happy," he said softly. Jamie giggled a little before she frowned again. "No, you were so pretty right there. Shall I give you a reason to smile?"

"I don't know. I don't know if I want to smile at all," she told him. "It depends on the reason."

"Well, you're talking to me, Song Seunghyun, guitarist and rapper of FT island," he replied playfully. A small smile crossed her lips again. "No, more," Seunghyun commanded, but she responded with the shake of her head. Her father kept replaying in her thoughts, a reminder not to smile.

"I have nothing to smile about, Seunghyun," she said softly. What happens if I have to go? If I make the manager mad at me, or the boys get tired of me, or the Primadonnas don't want me anymore, what will I do? She thought. Tears flooded her eyes and her heart wrenched at the very thought that the boys would just get rid of her and her little sister. Hell, you'd be happy with that, too, wouldn't you, Seunghyun? And even though Seunghyun's eyes looked so innocent, as if he and his friends would never abandon her, she knew it couldn't happen.

The lump in became a cancerous tumor as his eyes become soft and sympathetic to Jamie's broken and soulless being. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers, and she kissed him back with the sweet thought that he wanted to make her smile again. She liked the feel of his lips: they were rough yet gentle, and they fit with hers so well like a piece of a puzzle that had been gone for so long. The kiss didn't last nearly long enough and she yearned for another taste of perfection but she still couldn't help the goofy grin that stretched across her face. "Much better. You're so much happier," he said with a soft smile, and she giggled lightly allowing him to wipe away the tears.

"Why did you wake me up? Was it just because you wanted to kiss me?" She asked, raising a suggestive eyebrow. Seunghyun blushed and stood up, offering her a hand, and she took it gladly before he pulled her up.

"No, I wanted to take you to-" Seunghyun's voice was cut off with the sound of his ringtone. He quickly took his phone out and answered. "Hello?" he answered. "Hyung, I just got a little sidetracked, so don't yell at me. Haha, funny, you're killing me, hyung. Okay, bye," he said, pausing between sentences. 

 

(I CHANGED IT COMPLETEY LOL)
