35 Questions for Writers (from OnceUponAnEXO)

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

My first username was --SpringJelly and my sister came up with it. I love jellies and she thought of what would be like jelly and she thought of a spring lmao. My current one (-Vminatic) is because my OTP is Vmin, besides Taegi. So I thought it would be cool to add a 'atic' at the back.

 

2. Which is your most subscribed to story?

It used to be Strangest Marriage Ever with 718 subscribers but I have taken it down because the story is, hands down, the worst ever. I have a lot more stories on draft and are waiting to be written and published. Really do hope they would make it pass 718 subscribers :D

 

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

because vmin and backhugs

 

4. Who is your AFF bestie?

None, besides omgstfu (my friend irl too) We have a shared account called snow-fall! Will be posting works there too :D

I Will Make You Whole by lethallergic [Vmin] This is viewed 23 times
Shooting Stars and Silver Moons by mucha [Vmin]
Where The Heart Is by roachprince [Taegi]. This is apparently viewed 27 times oml

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!)

Not that I'm afraid of writing it but more like I know I won't be able to portray it out or write it out well.

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

prob about ??

 

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

I alwayys write them down. When I have a plot I really like, I would start developing the plot more, make the story on AFF or AO3, make the description and everything, write the first chapter and leave it there for more than a year .-. I keep getting new ideas and I can't finish a story gdi


15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

multiple times

nope

 

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

Can't really think of one

 

20. How many karma points do you have?

2156 pts

 

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

Just write as you wish. The more you write, the more you would improve. Don't have the mindset of 'I'm the best and everyone else is wrong. I don't need to learn new things'. You should read more stories (the good ones especially. Not all featured fics are good) I recommend AO3. Learn grammar, vocabulary, writing techniques, etc. Often get people to review your stories to improve on your writing.

 


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

I normally would plot everything out first (like the basic plot). Writing the scenes in the middle is the difficult parts. Normally I figure out as I go or when I get random inspiration while I'm outside.

 

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

Nope.

 

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

, humour and action.
 

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

So many oml. I have yet to write any Hoseok, Seokjin or Namjoon fics because all my plots don't really seem to fit the story's character D:
1. The Barista [Yoongi x OC]. The basic plot for this is a reuse of my old fic (which has been taken down) called Strangest Marriage Ever. This was written for my friend's birthday but has not been completed yet.

2. Kalopsia is a vmin story. Basically humour x fluff x angst. Having a really hard time writing those crack/humour scenes because I'm not a funny person at all.

3. That Annoying [Jungkook x OC] This is by far my favourite straight fic I'm writing :D It's fluff and slight angst with Jungkook teasing the girl 24/7. But there's a dark side of the story which has to do with her past.

4. Rules of Gaming [Jungkook x OC x Yoongi] This was slightly inspired by my life oml. I'm a gamer and have my gaming friends. I just took that part and developed it into a romance story

5. Black Rose [Taehyung x OC] A Crime AU! There's an infamous psychopathic killer and the police are trying to catch him. A super twisted story istg

6. Black Blood [Taehyung x OC] Forbidden love, assassins and fantasy AU :D

7. there are a few more but I have not really developed them yet ;;

 

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

I always do and it's pissing me off honestly. I really want to complete one story before making a new one but inspirations never stop flowing

 

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

Nope. Inspiration don't come to me when I have time gdi. I lose motivation really quickly too.

 

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

Yep. Definitely.

 

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

Currently Lipstick and Mascara but it would soon be Kalopsia once I have finished writing it :D

 

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

Faded. I could have done better with developing the plot and making it more angst

 

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

I guess being more descriptive and being able to write 100x better than now.

 

32. How many upvotes do you have?

128 lmao

Coming up with plots

 

34. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Writing out the story, feelings, characterization, etc
