What is this? Did you know that AFF is celebrating its 7th year of being up and running? Every year we have thought of ways to commemorate this special date by doing various activities.

With that being said, this year we have decided to make it all about you with these 45 questions, interview with yourself, survey, quiz—whichever you wanted to call it haha.

Why are we doing 45 Questions? Because... it's fun. Don't question.

Our theme for this year is the freesia, when given on the 7th Anniversary it upholds trust and faithfulness within a bond. The freesia is also a symbol of friendship. It was named freesia after Friedrich H. T. Freese by fellow botanist Christian P. Ecklon, as a tribute to their friendship.

This day marks seven years of trust, faithfulness and friendship with the site, it's creator and the community. As a thank you to all participants, we leave you with a thank you message from the creator of AFF himself.

"Happy 7th! I'm glad to have you all here, veterans and newcomers alike. I always tend to get super busy around AFF's anniversary time for some reason so I'm extremely grateful to Team Cactus for putting this together. They've come up with some really good questions! Hope you enjoy Team Cactus' quiz!"

Jason (owner/admin of AFF)

I am headinthebooks101 and I've been tagged by: YifanForever, taelighted, ppodae

Ah, the mind of a procrastinator, doing this--instead of my homework. At least I'm being semi productive though orz. 
First, try out these 3 AFF trivia questions!

Please try answering without cheating or looking for the answers. The answers to these trivia questions will be available in this blog after a week from the date of AFF's anniversary. So check the link then for the answers! From now till then, the blog will be on private.

Jason had this gf who used winglin(?) and it deleted her stories or something so he created AFF as a way for her to do it and it branched off from there.

I have no clue and I'm honestly a little lazy to check =u=''

No idea, I remember seeing it once but I forgot.

24. What is your least favourite feature of AFF? How can it be improved to make it better?

The fact that once I check something, I don't have the ability to uncheck them. Like let's say if I have a comment reply, once I'm in there, I have to reply to all comments otherwise I would either forget to check again or I lose the thread which because I'm like 'Nuuu I love chu, I didn't mean to not reply ;^;'. 


25. If you could introduce just one feature on AFF, what would it be and why?

I have no clue whatsoever. Like I'm content with what we have but at the same time, there is something missing in a sense.

Dark blue like tumblr tbh, its so bright here that sometimes at night--my poor eyes. ;_;

Reya, she's helped me a lot and was my first closest friend I have here. I'm incredibly happy I've met her.

I treasure them both so much. 
30. Who are your AFF inspirations?

exoplosions, surgicalfocus, fliour


31. If you could put a star on any of your fics/threads, which one would you pick?

Of Gods and Monsters by YifanForever, Pull Me Under by mistressdean, Jump! (The Boy Who Leapt Through Toilets) by surgicalfocus, Truth's Little Hero by HikariiJaejj, Lay Low by ppodae, Everlasting by mcxminne, Inamorata by exoplosions, Rogue by Korekrypta, and The Seoul Saints by taelighted.
I have a label from my favourites, so there's actually way more but I cut down on some of it.

surgicalfocus, taelighted, Korekrypta, exoplosions, YifanForever

"Coffee, Crying, and Cohorts"

THE DOG ON APRIL FOOLS WEEKEND, IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THING THOUGH BECAUSE I SPENT LIKE THE BETTER HALF OF THE DAY JUST PLAYING WITH HIM THE DAY HE APPEARED.


38. What was the best thing that has happened to you on the site?

My friends, the ones I've made, the ones I will make. 


39. Have your interests changed on AFF? If yes, in what way? (Eg. Change of OTP, bias group, AFF activity.)

I at reading updates now, and I can't even say that I'm writing more than reading which isn't true because I haven't written stuff in a while (AO update though is about 500+ words in right now so hopefully there's that soon.)


40. There are many communities now on AFF (such as the writing, designing, coding, applyfic, roleplay, reader communities). Is there a community that you aren't part of but want to try one time?

The communities I'm in, I'm happy with--but I would like to try more coding actually at some point.

Thank you for providing a community, a home in which I've found many friends where I'm not judged for the things that I do. I love this place, I really do, so I'm appreciative from the very bottom of my heart.
