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

I like coming up with stupid puns ._. And this one wouldn't get out of my mind so I wanted an AFF account with this username. Plus, since I'm a chanbaek writer mostly it's all good :3

2. Which is your most subscribed to story?

"Hey, Brother" with 6726 subscribers ♡

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

Seriously... Who can resist baby Baek? (I can't ; A ; )

4. Who is your AFF bestie? 

The one I always go back to and that is always there for me, OnceUponAnExo  (my little Miso ♡). Then I have a lot of AFF friends (Shin, Chris, Karash, Chi, Pricha, Jess, Unnie Seymik, Satanna and others I like as much ♡)

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

I never re-read fanfics, but the one I'd gladly re-read are "Children of the Storm" by AriasOftheSnow, "Breakfast with the fuzz" by surgicalfocus and "Baby's breath" by jindeul *-*

6. How many stories are you subscribed to?

146 :')

7. What AU do you find yourself writing about most?

I try to come up with different AUs every time, but I do have 2 high-school AU stories :3

8. How many friends do you have?

620 ♡

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!)

Yes, and I'll end up writing them, trust me. I was worried about writing and ended up doing it, which people apparently liked. So I think it's good to push myself to write things that I'm afraid of people judging me for. It's challenging. Thus, I want to write top!Baek  (Because people need to realise how hot that is), and some femslash, just because I want to try something different :3

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

I wish I could write faster, and update more regularly. I don't like making my readers wait :(

11. How many subscribers do you have?

I have... 15 694 unique subs and 40 802 total subs ; A ; *hugs each of them*

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

I have 15 stories posted :3

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

Ugh... Too many... Just too many.. The dungeon's too deep and dark ; A ;

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

I write them down on that lil' ( huge) file on my phone called "story ideas" because I have too much so there's great chances of me forgetting x(

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

Yup, with my dear hopebunny ♡

16. How did you discover AFF?

I was looking for some EXO fanfics and AFF was the first link that popped up. Glad it did :3

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

Lol nope :')

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

They're my poos, each one of them ; ^ ; ♡

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

I began to write since i was around 12 years old (so 7 years ago) because I always came uo with scenarios in my head and one day I thought that I should just write it down, so that's when I wrote my first story. My BFF would read what I wrote everyday on our way to school. Writing was my way of healing and escaping my reality by creating my own world. Then, what got me to write about EXO... I'd say, reading jindeul's story made me want to give it a try, and so I did :3 Then I met AriasOftheSnow and surgicalfocus, and they are what motivate me to write, my goals, so one day perhaps I could be as good as them :)

Lastly, thankfully I always have OnceUponAnExo to give me back some self-confidenceabout my writing when I hit a wall ;; ♡

20. How many karma points do you have?

6327, I'm bad at saving my karma points :')

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

Write what you want to write, and don't give up. Writing needs endurance, but most of all writing needs will. You need to feel this "need" to write for it to come out and have impact, I think. Never force yourself,  but fuel your passion. You may fail sometimes and don't feel contented by what you wrote (I'm never satisfied by my writing tbh), but use that as the push you need to strive for becoming a better author. However never forget to enjoy yourself too. ^-^

22. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?
 
It really depends, sometimes it just flows out on its on, and sometimes I use outlines :3

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

I tell myself that I'm really lucky,  because I have the sweetest readers and I've never had any major problem. However once someone told me that my writing lacked feels, in the sense that my characters weren't conveying their emotions enough, they were just like marionettes acting according to the narrative's will, and not speaking by themselves. It left me with a hole in the chest (and a huge writer block) because I felt like I had completly failed as a writer, and I just couldn't see how to overcome that. Like a wall hit me in the face. But then some friends encouraged me and I got back on track, it's just something I need to work on to be a better author :)

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

It depends on my mood, so I never force myself to write something I don't feel like writing, or else I know it'll come out bad. However recently I had to write a scene that went against my morals, for plot development. At first I kept delaying it, making my readers wait, but then I decided that I had to tackle this. It was really challenging because it's never easy to write something you feel bad about, but I guess that's part of the process of growing up as an author. I hope I did some justice to the scene ^^'

Oh, and I at fluffing :3 

 
25. What story(s) are you working on now?
 
I have 3 on-going stories: "May the bridges I burn light your way",  "Fifty shades of Park Chanyeol" and "Eye smile (You smile)"

And I'm working on a one-shot that still isn't posted :3 

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

At first I tried not to, but I gave into temptation ;  ^ ;

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

The only time I did have one was when I was writing for BAE. I told myself I had to write at least 1k words per day if I wanted to be done by the deadline, and I did so (the pain though...) . But now skfldlskaab I'm resting from the hell BAE was :')))

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

Omg yes :') even though I still lack a lot, I've definitely improved x')

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

I really like May the bridges I burn light your way, because it's definitely the most developed one n terms of everything (plot, character development, writing style). But for some reasons my baby is "La fièvre rose", I'm just so attached to the characters there ; ^ ; ♡

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

"The bloody red string of fate", definitely :') I have no attachment to this story for some unknown reasons. I guess it just xD

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

I'll still be writing, because I seriously think I'm "suffering" from hypergraphia. I just... breathe writing. Then, will I still be on AFF or not? Who knows. But I wish I could publish something, maybe...

 
32. How many upvotes do you have?

1852 ♡

33. What is the easiest thing about writing?

Coming up with plot ideas. I don't even ask for them, they just come at me and harass my mind until I scribble them down somewhere ; ; 

34. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Writing. :') it's like a marathon, seriously. 

35. Why do you write?

I've said it before but yeah, I'm a compulsive writer. If I don't write, I don't feel good. I started writing as a healing method, which was encouraged then by my psychologist. And it became something that is part of me now. I'm known among my friends as "the person that writes". It's something I just can't stop ^^' 

That's it :3 It was fun to do :D I'm tagging anyone who wants to do it too ^-^
