Autumn (Tagging - kaseyslove, faithful-lie, and Tigress)

I was tagged by JungMichan ^_^

 

1. First fic you ever read on AFF

This Time of Night by Jiayun.  She is basically the reason I'm here today, and that story was an emotional roller coaster ride.  Shinee was one of the first groups I got into, so to see them pulled this way and that by the events of the story, and characterized in such a way that I felt with all of them individually, was awesome and terrible.  haha  I loved the way the story made me feel all manner of emotions, even when it wrecked me. 

2. Favourite AFF author and favourite Korean idol that has inspired you

Favorites are ridiculously hard to choose, in part because some people are so good at writing certain groups and certain genres.  haha  Jiayun and frootloops101 will always be favorites for inspiring me and helping encourage this madness in the beginning (but they're also a good place to look for ridiculously cute SuJu and Shinee fluff and respectively).  Recently, JungMichan has been convincing me of the enjoyment possible in IdolAU fics, I will always adore the fantasy works of Tigress, and I would say that faithful-lie, The-Nev, and starlitskies have been ridiculously good at giving me all manner of VIXX feels.  XD

As for the Korean idol that has inspired me...  I don't really have one.  I mean, Leeteuk from SuJu was my first main character, so to speak, but as anyone who has looked through my list of stories knows, I have a tendency to write many different groups.  haha

3. All-time favourite fic

I'll be damned if this one isn't almost impossible.  >.>  Unless something else comes to mind though, I do think that Tigress' Twisting Paths is definitely up there!  Nu'est fantasy with Celtic lore, lots of magic, and dragons!  Not to mention the intrigue is certainly fun to watch unfold and I was delighted by every new chapter she put up.  ^_^

4. Who was your ultimate bias when you joined AFF and who is it now? 

Well, my knowledge of groups at the time was abysmally low so Leeteuk/Park Jungsu was my UB then (I only had two at the time anyway  XD).  Now, I... have no idea.  I have too many 'biases' to have an ultimate one anymore, though it is fair to say I have a top five.  lol

5. Is there a friend you have made on AFF through a fic?

Quite a few actually, though I've only met a handful in person (mostly).  Tigress, JungMichan, sCeNeBLUETattoo, and kaseyslove, though I do consider many other people friends here as well.

6. Two fics that you're currently hooked on? 

I'm often terrible at keeping up with on-going works but I will say that Extrasensory by JungMichan and Promise by Tigress are my current go-tos.  How the Stars Came to Be by starlitskies also gets an honorable mention here.  heh

7. Which fic that you have authored is YOUR favourite, and if you're not an author, is there a fic that you are looking forward to being released? 

This is another tough category, but I think I would have to say either Daehyun: Valkyr of the Gods or Partis Nex Vita: Six Point Magic.  They were both a lot of fun to write, though epic/high fantasy is very much my preferred genre of choice, as seen in DVotG.  Not to mention I got to blend K-Pop and Norse mythology!  heh

8. Favourite AU to read? 

Epic and High fantasy, without a doubt.

9. Are you a commenter or a silent reader?

I try very hard to be a commenter.  Sometimes, the urge is strong to be a silent reader, but I know how much feedback means to people (like it means to me) so I try to give something when I can.  It just happens to be much easier when it's something I really enjoy.  ^_^  lol

10. in your opinion, should AFF/KPop life be kept separate from your daily life? 

Yes and no.  I think it's a great way to let people see more about what makes you tick and why you enjoy this area of life, but depending on who you're around or working with and what you write especially... it may be a good idea not to mix the two.  Goodness knows what would happen if my students discovered I have been known to write fanfiction about Korean idols.  XD  haha

1. Favourite autumn movie 

I haven't the slightest idea when it comes to an autumn movie. Ask me about a genre or something and I'd be much better off, but for now, I'll say Legend (1984), though I'm not sure if it happens in the autumn or not...  But it is one of my favorite movies of all time.  lol

2. Favourite autumn scent

Pumpkin anything.

3. Favourite Thanksgiving/autumn food & autumn food you don't like 

My favorite Thanksgiving food is invariably pumpkin pie, though when I was at home, sweet potato pie was more the favorite so I had to start making and bringing my own.  haha  As for food I don't like... fatty meats?  lol  I'm not usually picky about foods in general but I struggle with certain cuts of meat.  >.>

4. Favourite Halloween costume you've worn 

Angel of Darkness!  It was awesome!  lol  I made my own wings and had this black outfit with platform boots and a real (but dull) sword!  That was a fun year.  :D

5. Favourite autumn hobby

Pretty much the same as the rest of the year: reading, writing, gaming, and watching stuff.  lol  The seasons don't really effect what I do during the majority of the year (even ice-skating could happen in the summer when I was back home).

6. Favourite coffee (or just plain drink) you like in the fall 

I enjoy most coffee but I do have a softspot for Hazelnut and Pumpkin Spice.

7. Favourite clothing item to wear in autumn 

Same as usual?  Head coverings make my head itch and I get hot much too quickly.  I guess I might concede that gloves are nice, if only because, for some reason, my hands are almost always cold in the winter.  I don't really like gloves (they get in the way!), but I can appreciate what they do for me.  ;)

8. Favourite autumn-oriented colour

The combination of gold and red.  It's a gorgeous mix.  ^_^

9. Favourite autumn-oriented weather

The previous statement was pretty awesome for sure, and I wouldn't be able to improve on it either, but I love it when it's cold and sunny; when I can see my breath plume in front of me, but where I can stay warm with constant movement and minimal layers.  I much prefer colder weather and I can't wait for it to set in here.

10. Something you want to buy that comes out this year during autumn

No clue...  I don't keep track of things like that so much anymore, though if you count recently, I did buy Lindsey Stirling's new album the other day.  But that's about it.  heh

 

I am going to tag kaseyslove, faithful-lie, and Tigress!

AND i forgot to say. I'm so curious as to who your top 5 biases are now, and also, your answer about the students reading your things made me giggle haha

Oh my okay I admit, I haven't been checking friend blogs recently because TIME omg. But I'm glad you let me know about this because the feels are ridiculously strong! I agree with almost all your autumn answers (though pecan pie will forever be my favorite), and omg your mentions *blushes to high heaven*.
but I agree 100% about your answer with the favorote fic of yours. It's been a while since I read Daehyun:VotG but it left such an impression on me that I constantly recommend it. AND I RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE READING THIS COMMENT! Lol
Anyways, I am hoping life slows down (a bit) here soon and I will be back to being more social. Goodness knows I've missed speaking with you!!!
