some musings as a writer... and some insecurity about my fics...

 

if you've been following me on ask.fm, you'd know i've been writing this oneshot for a fic exchange. it's not posted yet, but it does get me to wonder... since the posting will be under anonymous, will any of you recognize that it was my fic once you read it if you don't know who the author is?

i wonder if i have a distinct style of writing that people can tell easily... i think i do? but then i try something a lil different like my newest fic Hearts Afire (We're Infinity) (which you should read if you haven't since it'll be completed in 2 chapters! ^^) and a lot of you were surprised lol. the comments were like, "wow this fic doesn't sound like you at all! i actually forgot you were the author while reading it!" etc. lol

idk, i guess i'm just wondering if my writing style is recognizable? will people know that fic is written by me even if they don't see my username attached to it?

 

i also realized that aff is kinda, hmn... quiet lately? a lot of the people i used to talk to, have disappeared. idk if it's bc they're busy or they don't read fics anymore or they don't like me/want to talk to me anymore. but it does make me kind of sad. bc like, i do try and remember people who commented often or tried striking a conversation with me thru wall posts and stuff, but i don't see those people anymore... then i got to wondering like, is it bc my stories have gotten worse? do they not like/read my stories anymore? idk. idk if you can tell from my previous blog posts but i'm a super insecure person haha. i worry a lot and think that my fics are never good enough. idk, this just made me sad...

 

wow this has been a depressing blog post >__> blame me waking up early at 6am... when i'm up early by myself i tend to think a lot and overthink things...

anyway, to end it on a slightly happier note... you know how i always update on sehun and jongin's birthdays? well, jongin's birthday is coming up and i still don't know what i should update for him! what story would you like me to update for jongin's birthday? i was thinking Fatalis Dilemma, but then it'd be an awfully sad chapter (for kai) right on his birthday haha >.< kai is going to die next chapter of FD... lol joking... or am i...? @__@

I know this is a month old log but I wanted to give encouraging words because I think your writing is the best I have come across. I normally don't follow authors unless they are really great writers. Keep up the good work and you do you! Don't take negative people to heart. If they stop reading or talking, that's on them. Have a great day!

I'm the kind of person who, even if my best friend appears one day with her hair color yellow, I won't notice haha so I think I'll be really difficult for me to recognize you :'( however, as a kind of "writer" myself, I think is ok to explore different styles to discover which one you feel more comfortable with.

Also, I don't think it has anything to do with you or your stories, ppl are busy with their lives. It can be they're studying really hard for an exam, they obtained a new job, they got together with somebody...there are million reasons so please don't blame yourself, ok? You're an amazing writer so don't worry.

Writing a different style is okay.. because ur story will always end up amazing and beautiful.. and for people disappeared, maybe they just busy with life,study or work..

Also, maybe people are just busy with school and such now that vacation is over. Don't worry about it! I don't think your fanfics are boring.

Hmmm. Maybe some would recognize it. But you know what? This could also be an opportunity to explore a different writing style. I love your current writing style. But hey, trying a different one for the sake of the contest sounds like a fun challenge

To answer your question, NO. I don't think I will be able to recognize the writing style if it is a one-shot. Omg, it will be difficult to tell.
But it is me. Other readers may have recognize it. Please don't ever think it is because your writing is not distinct enough. Because no, it is just because I at recognizing things. But if it is chaptered fic, I think I will be able to tell.

About the comment part. Well, I can say some people may have stopped reading fanfics or may have stopped shipping SeKai (because now you mainly write SeKai).
I have stopped being a SeKai shipper too haha, but I still read fanfics. One because I have subscribed (and I am curious about the story), two because now I only focus on the story and the author, not the pairings.
I don't write comments regularly though. Not because I don't appreciate the author's effort, but simply because I don't know what to say. Some people have pointed out that a simple thank you won't be enough, so if I don't know what to say, I won't say anything. But if I find something intriguing or totally different from my expectation, I will definitely comment (I can leave a longggg comment if I am super happy with the update, I am not a lazy reader haha).

As for me, i dont blame it on your style of writing, i just at recognizing writing styles in general. Also, im usually the silent reader type and mostly just keep to myself, but i did my first comment on your story (FD, cant help it, the feels~~). Speaking of FD, i've been missing the story already authornim, we'll be here, waiting for your updates. FIGHTING!!

I stalkeio your profile since I fell in love with "Destinary" so I never found a fic your by the tag, I have no way of knowing if I would recognize your writing. I just see your name in the authorship and I'm already reading.

Maybe I recognized her writing, she's very remarkable.
You have something special.

All day I enter the site just to see if you updated some fic. I read all those that are not broached. Even her new one, she's really different from her usual script, but she's still amazing.
I simply love everything you write no matter how much the writing changes.

I'm the Brazilian who can always say hello here, then pardon for faulty English. I'm once again turning to Google Translator.

Kisses
