7
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!"

Hullo guys, I hope at least one of my answers interests you ;)
First, try out these 3 AFF trivia questions!

1. Why was Asianfanfics created?
The admin Jason created it for his girlfriend to store and post her stories reliably and now keeps it running in her memory <3
2. What is the exact date of AFF's anniversary?
Honestly, I don't know. In fact, I have yet to see someone who does, which is kind of sad...
3. Our admin, Jason, wrote a fanfic: Zero Day Diaries. Which kpop artists are featured in this fic?
Apparently BoA ~
4. How long have you been on AFF for?
Eleven months and I've been writing for eight ;P
5. What color was AFF's layout when you joined?
Blue but you can sorta change it ;3 I like blue though <3
6. How did you find AFF?
Well, I got kinda obsessed with School 2013 and was looking for fanfiction. I found Our New Fate by harukno and then kinda stalked all her stories ^^;
7. How did you end up becoming a member? What made you want to become a member?
I had exams coming up so I made an account to bookmark my place in harukno's fics. It backfired though of course and I ended up reading even more fanfiction, when I got an account in order to avoid it >.< #logic >.< But there's a happy (?) ending; I recently got to beta read the latest chapter of Our New Fate (the fic I freaking joined the site for) and I was fangirling so hard (because senpai noticed me) and I just ahdajhkajhkdaguhgeaikal *so freaking happy* <3
8. You are user no. ____?
1,020,641
9. What was your first username?
My current one; faithful-lie (although everyone seems to spell it wrong one way or another kekekekekeke~)
10. What was the first story you read on here?
Our New Fate by harukno (it's actually still ongoing ;3)
11. Who is the first AFFer you talked to?
I don't know... Wait... Hang on... It was chikujikato ;3 I commented on their Shinee fic Don't Get Lost the day after I joined AFF ;3
12. Who was your first friend? Do you still keep in contact?
SinwillfindYou / DreaminBlue was the first person to add me as their friend and also the first person I beta read for ;D We still talk but not as often as I'd like ;(
13. How many fanfiction/thread(s) do you currently have? How many of them are complete?
Uhm... I have 19 fics of which 7 are completed and also 19 blog posts that's what you meant right? *confuzzled*
14. How many unique subscribers do you have?
635 *.* Thank you so so much to you all <3
15. What badges do you have?
Verified email address haha ~
16. Have you been an AFF Gold Member?
No but I want to as part of the app fundraiser because aff screws with my phone like nothing else ^^;
17. Out of a scale of 10, how much do you frequent the site?
15. I'm always checking aff! ALWAYS ^^;
18. What is the main activity that you do on AFF?
Read fics. Fangirl over the fics. Cry over my work (especially the ). Put more things on hiatus. Occasionally update ^^;
19. How do you spend most of your karma points?
I don't. I give them to people who want them for things. Occasionally I use them for posters but the main shop I like to use is free so... They hold no worth to me. The only time I cared about them was when I was desperate to upvote fics but didn't yet have 25 ^^;
20. How would you like to spend you karma points? (E.g. Kpop merchandise.)
Literally nothing. I don't care for/ about them and I don't see them as necessary. I use them for fair transactions. I let people pay me in them when they feel uncomfortable getting my services for free ;3
21. Have you ever uploaded a video in the video gallery?
No I don't even know how O_O
22. Have you entered the chatroom? How was it like for you?
I once observed the chatroom. It wasn't for me.
23. What is your favourite feature of AFF?
I didn't know about this until I saw Tigress' survey. But I adore the fact that you can advertise any story; it doesn't have to be your own <3 That's honestly amazing to me <3 I also love the community on here *.*
24. What is your least favourite feature of AFF? How can it be improved to make it better?
There's three things that irk me. The binary gender options aren't great for a genderqueer individual like myself. I can't even put 'other'. I wish it was something that you could customise. I also really despise the seven tag limit... Not really, but it does mildly irk me. The last thing that genuinely makes me sad is the option to downvote people's comments. My reputation was on a downwards slope for a while and I kind of just wondered what I'd done that someone didn't like that much. I said as soon as it appeared that it was a bad idea. It's open for bullying. I'd like for that to go.
25. If you could introduce just one feature on AFF, what would it be and why?
Can't think of anything right now. Maybe a spotlight section. Or a way to nominate authors you think don't get the attention they deserve ;3
26. If you could customize the way AFF appears to you, what color would it be? You could just pick one color or a palette.
I'd like for purple or turquoise or aquamarine to be colours I could have for the main site ~
27. Who is/are your best friend(s) on AFF?
I'll list some but not all ~

I really wanna try graphic designing but I have no skills in that area so I think I'll just stick to writing, editing and reading/fangirling ;)
41. What is the best thing AFF or being a member of AFF taught you?
That there's always someone who'll like you and somewhere you'll fit no matter how weird you are <3
42. What is your greatest contribution to the site so far?
I'm not sure. Maybe that I try and comment as much as possible and be nice to everyone <3 Otherwise, I guess editing?
43. What are your current AFF goals?
To get myself sorted out. Write the two outstanding oneshots I've been avoiding, update all my fics. Complete all the ongoing fics (except the request fic). Start the sequels I have planned.

To find my genre. Some authors are known for certain genres. I'd like to find that one genre that I can slay in ;3 I don't know if that would ever happen though ;3
44. If the AFF community decides to do a get-together, how should we spend it and where?
I can't think of a way that people wouldn't get left out. But kcon seems cool ;) Or just chilling on the internet like always ;)
45. AFF is celebrating it's 7th year and is continuing to grow thanks to our admin, Jason. Do you have a message for him?
Thank you so much for starting this website, for building a place where we can socialise as well as sharing our writing. Where the skillset is so broad and there's a place where everyone can fit in. And thank you for keeping it going. For always trying to improve it. Keep being awesome because I can only dream of being as awesome as you ;)
