Writer Questions
I am an introspective derp, and I like thinking about things. XD
Since you've woken up, how many words have you written story-wise?
I will say 1, 500+. It's not for a story. It's for a review. That's still work!
How long have you been writing?
I started really writing at 12. It was mostly free-verse poetry. I only engaged prose when I was 16. I am now thirty years useless. LOL
What is an effective writing environment for you?
Environment is not that important to me, I can write when I want to write. The crux, of course, is nowadays, I almost never want to. I can write on a bus standing up. I can write in a library. I need no one to talk to me. I guess I prefer music over human chatter, but I can get over it. I am a pretty absorbed reader/writer. I once wrote and not notice anything, in five hours and my husband was actually pretty pissed. LOL. I guess a place where the noise level is manageable.
What are your deal breakers when it comes to fanfictions?
No capitalization. All dialogues. Romanticized . Animated art. Cast Lists and Profiles. Chapters over 10,000 words. I don't read much fanfiction nowadays, because I have become really picky about word choices, I don't know why. I get annoyed if you keep using your character as your active subject. I think that is strangely picky.
What is your comfort zone when it comes to writing?
Which genre are you less experienced with?
Do you research? If yes, what for and why?
I research all the time. LOL. It's just the way I write. For my most recent story, I am researching about PTSD and military ranks
What was the highest number of comments you've every received for a chapter? (This question is aimed at chaptered stories.)
Well, I don't really count. Haha. I read comments as they come. I know IA received a lot of comments. Kamsamhida.
What is your average number of comments per chapter?
I'd say for my less popular story around 15. For my more popular ones higher. I never really pay attention.
Do you feel discouraged if your story lacks comments?
Not discouraged, per se. But feel, uhm, pointless, like why do I even write this. LOL. I feel kind of mad because I get all these subs and no one even tries to give me something in exchange and they ask me for more updates, and I just get mad.
What are your thoughts on bad/good reviews? Do you have a strategy for finding reviewers?
I have only been reviewed once. LOL now don't get me wrong, I get editted outside IRL all the time, so it's not like I'm super averse to constructive criticism. I just don't see the point here in AFF, because I mostly write here without reservation or care. I know, it's an awful habit, but AFF is where I kick off my shoes and not proofread, or whatever. My editor hates, hates, hates my tense shifting, but I don't want to deal with it. I am just... that pain in the writer that editors hate. So, I would never subject reviewers to that pain. My AFF material is not worthy of any reviewers time. :3
If you are looking for a reviewer, read their reviews and see if they bother more explaining their thoughts. Read samples and see if they give deliverables you want.
What song describes you as a writer?
In AFF? Wrecking Ball? LOL
IRL, Like a . HAHAHAHAHAHA.
If you became the next Stephen King or J.R.R Tolkein and you had to choose an actor/actress to play a version of you, who would it be?
Why would I need an actor play a version of me? Do you mean, I'd be like a ghost writer? Or do you mean my characters?
I would like to be TOP please. LOL But if it's characters, aside from the obvious TOPDara. I actually love Sophia Bush... yes from one tree hill. lol. But yeah, her. Or Mila Kunis, but not really, I like her, but my type is definitely somebody a little more shy?
Last request: Drop some motivational quotes for other writers!
These are not all inspiring, but I like them all!
