I tag: -roselynn-, sicaday21, Korekrypta, Yifanforever, Tatari, zan8901 and everyone else who wants to do it XD


1. How did you come up with your user name and what does it mean?

Emily's my middle name LOL.

2. Which is your most subscribed to story?

Fearless.

3. Why did you pick your user photo/thumbnail?

Because Baekhyun's smile in Take You Home gives me life :D

4. Who is your AFF bestie?

           IDK I have a lot of friends on here but like... not a bestie? I love everyone ;)

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

I'm not someone to reread a lot, but I've read The Blood Brother Code and Carry Your Throne more than once. If I get super emotional about some part of a story, I'll reread. Or if I haven't read it in a while and it was something I enjoyed a lot.

6. How many stories are you subscribed to?

Somewhere around the 500 mark. I'm too lazy to check.

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

Mama AUs. In every fantasy fic EXO has their Mama powers (at least mostly).

8. How many friends do you have?

326

9. Is there something you'd like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

Nope. 

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at on aff? Writing, graphic design (posters), replying to comments, updating regularly, etc..?

I want to learn how to graphic design TT

11. How many subscribers do you have?

Unique: 9293 Total: 14712

12. How many stories have you posted online to this day (finished and unfinished)?

7?

13. How many stories do you have saved in your writing program?

I'm not too sure. My drive is an absolute mess, omg.

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

If I really, really like the idea and I actually am going to start it (or think that I am), I write it down. I get like 23784327 random plot ideas everyday and I use like 0.000001% of those. 

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

Nope. I've beta-ed, though?

16. How did you discover AFF?

lmfao i don't even remember

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author on AFF?

in my dreams :')

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

I think I say "_____ guys" in almost all my A/Ns because I am a creative person :)))))

19. Was there an AFF author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

Korekrypta is my senpai

20. How many karma points do you have?

Too much that i don't need lmao

21. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

Don't be afraid of publishing your stories on here if you want. And plot your story out. Have in mind, even if it's vaguely, what the conflict is going to be, how it's going to lead to there, etc. It's very hard to have a consistent story if you have absolutely no planning. Even a bit will help. (And if you're publishing on AFF, don't be discouraged by the subscriber amount.) 

22. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

Depends on the story, but I always have at least a bit in mind. I knew the general plot for Darkest Hour when I started -- I always have the end in mind -- but a lot of the rest was improvised and last minute. Chanyeol appeared in chapter 16 and I planned his appearance when I was writing 14 :') For Cutlass (which hasn't been published yet) and Windwalker, I spent a couple of months just thinking out the plot.

23. Have you ever gotten a bad review or comment on a story? If so, what did you do?   

          Not really that I can remember.

24. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, , etc..)

 

Lmfao I can't write romance (let's not talk about that would be a tragedy I can't even write fluff scenes without making it hella awkward).

25. What story(s) are you working on now?

Darkest Hour mostly, because I'm pretty close to finishing, but also On Angel's Wings. I'm hoping to finish those two and start constant updates for Windwalker, Prometheus and Cutlass. Don't ask about the Jongdae oneshot. Maybe one day ;-; 

26. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

Uh... I've been thinking about the plot for Windwalker and Cutlass for months... 

27. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

I was writing around 1500 words per day the last couple months but I'm too dead now and it's 500. Rip.

28. Do you think you've improved as a writer since you first started?

Definitely. I don't cringe as hard reading my writing now :')

29. What is your favorite story that you've written?

Darkest Hour? Kind of? It's the longest and wow I persevered !!

30. What is your least favorite story that you've written?

I hate Fearless.

31. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

Maybe I'll still be on AFF llolololololol

32. How many upvotes do you have?

853

33. What is the easiest thing about writing?

Plotting but not writing.

34. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Not getting distracted and dealing with writer's block kms

35. Why do you write?

Because I like writing.
