Questions for authors tag

This was taken from another user's blog - Emilieee. You can all try this too! Tagging anyone who wants to try!

 

1. What was your first story? When was it published? What was it about?

I used to write non-fanfiction stories on a different site, Figment.com. As well as stories for high school. I think I've been writing ever since I started high school... So the first one published was around 2011? At least, that was the first I posted a story online. Can't really remember what it was about though.

2. What's your favorite story you've written? And what's the plotline?

Currently, Goddess Mistaken is my favourite because I love love love Greek mythology. It's basically a Hades and Persephone re-telling.

3. Have you ever written for a holiday/special occasion? 

Yeah definitely. I wrote some EXO Christmas oneshots!

4. What username did you publish your first story under?

I used a variation of blue... something. Lolol

5. How many stories do you have (published) on aff? How many are complete?

Ooh, a few. Let's see, 13? I have a few on draft though. And 5 completed ones! Though some are oneshots... xD

6. How many aren't published?

2, I think.

7. What helps you think or inspires you when writing fanfiction/stories?

Usually when I see pretty photographs or read a really good story, I use some of the ideas and turn them into my own.

8. What date did you join aff?

April 4th, 2013

9. What was the first tag you looked up when you joined aff?

Pretty sure it was CNBLUE

10. Who are your top three favorite authors, and why?

You're really asking me that? Oh god. I have so many. So many! I have a whole list of favourites!
Current top is definitely Korekrypta. Gosh she's fricken fantastic. No words.
I've been reading vanillasushi's stories recently and they're really good. #greekmythology!
And taelighted, because Running with wolves is sooo good!

11. What is your opinion of kaistal?

I don't know? Really. Also, this question is really random...

12. What type of story are you most in your element writing? Is it something you write often?

I seem to always write romance? Even though I, myself, am absolutely utterly inexperienced with love. I guess they're kind of ways I fantasise about romance. I love writing fantasy. But it takes a lot of work building the world and the fantasy elements of it... so I don't write them often.

13. What type of story are you least in your element writing?

Horror, thriller... that kind of stuff. I cannot deal with even just thinking of it. 

14. What is one thing you hate seeing in comments?

Update soon. Those two words make me both happy and also completely annoyed. It's nice to even see a comment, but maybe they could say more than update soon. I'd rather see 'thanks for the update' than 'update soon'.

15. What sort of author's notes do you make?

Usually my A/N's explain if I've been away, or some of the story, or some other miscellaneous thing. Sometimes announcements. As well as encouragement to leave comments.

16. Name three things you love doing when you write/update:

1. I like double checking for any mistakes. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, but I do still miss things
2. Clicking refresh every couple of minutes to see if there are new subs, comments etc. (Oh god that sounds really silly)
3. Listening to music or watching anime between bouts of writing. Lol

17. What are you most insecure about in your writing?

Inconsistency. I know I always have plot holes SOMEWHERE. It's just a thing I always forget to fix. Also, whether my characters have enough personality to them. I forget that it is actually really difficult to portray what I see in my head into words.

18. What is your favorite band/pairing/whatever to write about? Why?

Mostly EXO. Anything with EXO. And also with OCs. Because I can't really stomach it when it's another female idol. 

19. And your second favorite? Why?

I do like reading OTP fics but mostly if they're silly and non-romantic... except ChanBaek because... I've read so many of this pairing. 

20. Name something you see in comments rather often.

??? Mostly people commenting on their predictions for the next chapter? 

21. Name a story you've (probably) neglected.

Ohhh I have a few. But "Model for me" and "First love" have both been stopped around the same time... I should update them, but I cringe at how cheesy the stories are and my writing... ohhh man. *facepalm* Though it seems a few people quite like Model for me.
