Yes, as the title has mentioned, I am finally 5 years old on AFF!! I remember how I joined AFF through Hyuna when I was merely a 12 year old kid who has just fininished my PSLE and now, I am in my first year in JC. Time passed by quickly and AFF grew so much. I remember how the theme used to be green and there were no badges. Those days were the best to me.

Somewhere in the middle, around 2013, I started shipping Chansoo and they became my main OTP. I loved Chansoo so much that I would always lurk around the Chansoo page so I can get my hands on every fic written. Up to this day, I still ship the two of them.

Back in the days, I remember how arranged marriage were like the trend and I seriously loved fics with thar particular plot. Now, maybe not so much, at least for Chansoo, Soonhoon, Jigyu etc.

I have to say that the author I respect and love the most is elisaexplosive. Once amazing, always amazing. I am an extremely picky person when it comes to reading fics and I blame it on my experience in AFF but elisaexplosive has managed to impress me continually all the time. I remember how I was so desperate to get her fics back when she disappeared from AFF for quite a bit of time. Now that she is back, I'd say that you all should read her stories. I especially love "Lacrimosa" because of the amount of impact it placed on me. So there, please read her stories if you have time!!

Another author and friend I remember is Watermelon. Though we don't communicate anymore, I will always her hardworking attitude in constantly trying to update her stories as much as she can. I remember that back in 2013, I will always rant abt the troubles I had because I was vice class president back then. While it is tiring to read my rants, she gave me advice and for that, I will always be thankful to her.

My five-year journey with AFF was definitely a precious one. Going from Junah to Joonah and then to MyungsooxOC to Chansoo and the other ships, AFF was a great platform where I got to read so many wonderful fics. I have so much to say about the stories I love, the people I want to thank/recommend but I don't think y'all would want to read such a long message for a 5th year anniversary message lel.

AFF is a great site and I am glad to have met you people, regardless of whether we have communicated before or not. May AFF continue to blossom and hopefully, I will stay to see my 10th anniversary in AFF.
