Answering a Q & A for Authors
Author Questions:
This is because I’m bored and I’m having a writer’s block...The questions are copied from Sunflowerpots because Sunflowerpots is life.
Is there anything you regret writing?
Nope, I love everything (even if the others hated it) since I’m doing this just for fun, so to quote BTS Suga, “ I don’t give a ”.
Name a fic you’ve written that you’re especially fond of & explain why you like it?
A Few Years Later ...Its my very first fanfic so this one will always be special. I actually didn’t have a particular storyline on this one, but, the inspiration came from the infinity ring that was given to me by one of my closest guy friends ( and nope, we’re not dating), I’m not in a coma but I was practically living in the hospital for weeks because of health issues so my friend gave me a ring since he thinks that i’ll live longer ( I don’t know what he’s thinking why he said that, or maybe he knew that I’m an Inspirit) I am still cringing everytime I read my very first fanfic, plus, the icing on the cake., after reading the first few comments and having my very first upvote for this fic, I realized , damn it, I love being a writer.
What's your most popular fanfiction?
Spring Over Summer, nuff said...
How do you come up with your fanfiction titles?
I at giving titles...I
What do you hate more: Coming up with titles or writing summaries?
Coming up with titles...That’s the hardest part of writing a story for me, coming up with titles..I want it to be catchy but I don’t know how. I write the summary first then I come up with the title.
If someone were to draw a piece of fanart for your story, which story would it be and what would the picture be of?
Hmm...Such a Lovely Mistake...With Mingyu and Wonwoo and their super cute and adorkable firtsborn pup...
Do you have a beta reader? Why/why not?
I have a coauthor ( and its the great BaekMemyYeol) in one of my fanfics so she’s sort of my beta reader ( slash inspiration since she’s one of the writers that I look up to) For my other fanfics, I don’t have plans to have a beta reader,my grammar but like what I’ve said, I’m doing this for some R and R, this is my stress reliever, I don’t wanna pressure myself by wanting this to be soooo perfect, plus this is my way to check if my grammar improves or not...
What inspires you the most?
A LOT OF MEANIE MOMENTS AND MY ETERNAL SUNSHINE, LEE SEOKMIN...I LOOOVE HIM...
What's the nicest thing someone has ever said about your writing?
“Chapter 2: Btw naproproud ako sayo authornimmmm dati parang ako lang nagtatagalog sa comments or onti lang ngayon marami rami na hahaha nakakaproud lang for you na dumarami din phil readers mo”
-Asd_qwerty
- Spring Over Summer...
Asd_qwerty is a sweetheart and she’s one of my very first Filipino readers , it makes me extra happy when she said that she’s proud of me, back then, we’re the only ones having a tagalog conversation in the comments section, ...From A Few Years Later to my latest fanfic , she’s like Soonyoung to my Seokmin ( cheesy , hahahaha) , always giving me a thumbs up and always cheers me up ...
Do you listen to music when you write or does music inspire you? If so, which band or genre of music does it for you?
I listen to music while I’m facing my laptop and writing the latest chapter for my fanfic..Its easier for me to think and come up with a storyline when I’m listening to Music. I wrote the prologue, foreword and Chapter one of “ A few Years Later” while listening to Seventeen’s “ When I Grow Up”, and the storyline for Cupidity Diaries was based on the song “ Stupid Cupid” by Red Velvet...If you noticed, all of my fanfics have a lyrics video included in each chapter, that means I’m listening to that song while writing the particular chapter.
I really love Block B’s Park Kyung’s songs...I at writing fluff, so listening to Park Kyung’s songs gave me a dose of fluffy inspiration...All his love songs are really cute, too much Spring feels...

First person...Its easier for me...
