35 Questions Tag for AFF authors

As per Amy's (ALWrites) kind request, I shall fill out this form :D Thanks for tagging me bb, I only got to see it now >.<  I hope you all enjoy this lovely tag that OnceUponAnExo made ^^ I tag everyone that I have mentioned in this blog post, if you haven't already done it! 

 

 

 

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

 

  • Its pretty self explanatory. I love sushi and I am born in 1994…hence sushi94 XD (Wow~ really used a lot of brain cells for that one didn't you, Lena)

 

2. Which is your most subscribed to story?

 

  • Its my first fanfic 'Elites of Seoul' with 1049 subscribers. Its still ongoing, and I have to honestly say that I got a bigger response than I think I deserved. I love every single of my readers! *cuddles and kisses to yall*

 

 

 

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

 

  • Well…I am a baekhyun stan (why do I always have to clarify this) but erm…idk why chanyeol is my thumbnail.

 

........

 

  • Its obviously Chanyeol's fault >___>

 

 

4. Who is your AFF bestie?

 

  • I have many friends on here. I shall list them all~ Majority of them I found through tumblr/twitter tho XD

 

  • So here it goes in no particular order: whitelillies, ALWrites, dokaixing, jongleur, flawlesssoo, monkiecamsie, heroesfan101 (SIS <3) and I know I am missing others… im sorry if I missed you but you know I love you all a lot, right? <333

 

 

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

 

  • I do that A LOT (especially the s***** oneshots). To maintain my innocent image, I won't share which fics I revisit, lmao :**

 

 

6. How many stories are you subscribed to?

 

  • I subscribe to anything and everything with  'chanbaek'. So I am subscribed to a total of 127 fics :D I am not counting my old account but i think altogether it would be over 500+ for sure as i have the other account since 2011 >.<

 

 

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

 

  • I actually haven't written much yet to know fully well which AU I adore the most. But looking at my drafts its mostly CEO/elites!au XD I think its because I have a lot of inspiration from real life.
  • I also have written some wolf!aus, but they are not all worthy enough to be published yet ><

 

8. How many friends do you have?

 

  • I have 62 friends. I accept every request I get \^^/

 

 

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!)

 

  • Hmmm…I haven't really come across such an issue yet. Maybe because I am a newbie writer and all.

 

  • I do want to write my parent's love story someday, but I am a bit apprehensive. Mostly because, I don’t think I will be able to tolerate the comments. I don't want any comments saying, 'omg your mum went through this?' or 'your dad was blahblah'. So I have just putt it on hold for now. I need to improve as a writer anyways, before I attempt to write that drama, haha.
  • If I do ever get to write it, I will probably not notify anyone that its based off my parent's experiences. That’s the best solution right? :D

 

 

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

 

  • l really want to update more regularly. But my life is too busy. Even me writing this tag is pushing my bedtime further, despite me having an early start at the hospital tomorrow. But I enjoy writing and being in fandom, as it is what keeps me happy and alive (as well as food, but you get the drill)

 

  • I guess I am lucky to have patient readers, who always wish me luck on my exams and give so much love whenever I update once a blue moon, haha~

 

  • Also I like to think I am good at replying comments, but it can take me months. So I should work on that too!

 

11. How many subscribers do you have?

 

  • 3260 total subs, 2425 unique subs…so 835 of you are subscribed to more than one of my fics *smothers you all with love*

 

 

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

 

  •  Four and only two of them are finished >< Actually there are technically five, but I have only posted a foreward for the fifth one so it doesn’t count XD

 

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

 

  • I have too many. Like I have a couple of docs that have bullet points of ideas. Some ideas have been developed to be over 10k. But I don’t bother saving them as separate docs yet. I want to finish what I've started first ^^

 

 

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

 

  • I keep them in my head. Which really , because most of the time I forget to note it down on my laptop. I cant risk writing them in my phone, as I am nearly always surrounded by people. I actually write Baekyun as Becky and Chanyeol as Connor, whenever I badly want to write in public. LOL. All my friends know that I love to write, so they always try to read what I am writing -_-

 

  • The last thing I want is a rumor spreading in med school that I write gay fanfiction. I wish it could be a mainstream thing, but I am surrounded by people that would judge you hard and I just don’t want to deal with that drama.

 

  • However whenever I do get to write them down, I just briefly outline them. Like I swear I never think about the endings. Except for the ones I end up publishing ofc~

 

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

 

  • Nope, but I would love to! It seems like such a fun thing to do…but I need to improve my writing before I get paired. I don’t want to bring the story down, OTL.

 

 

16. How did you discover AFF?

 

  • I discovered it in 2011? I came across a link on tumblr and walah~~ I actually have an older account for my first fandom (cassiopeia), its still active (in subscribing and commenting on TVXQ/JYJ fics) but I wanted to make a new one for the exo fandom back in 2013, and also I had thought of making this my writing account ><

 

 

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

 

  • No way~ 

 

 

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

 

No, I don’t.  I don’t think I am that popular enough to have this privilege. I usually see youtubers doing this…its cool :D But i can't imagine myself doing that :P

 

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

 

  • There are many!! So many that I can't even think where to start. Most of them are from the TVXQ/JYJ fandom. I have hands down read the best fics ever in that fandom. World changing, mind boggling fics. Some of them actually wrote for the EXO fandom too. Also, there were many authors that inspired me in this fandom too. But again, too many for me to write down. 

 

 

20. How many karma points do you have?

 

  • 4454 points!  

 

 

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

 

  • If you love writing, then don’t hesitate to share your work! Your first work doesn’t have to be perfect, just continuing on posting and improving! It’s a learning process. Don’t look at the number of subscribers/upvotes. Nor should you get disheartened by criticism. Instead, take it as advice :D

 

 

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

 

  • Unlike my lovely friend Amy…I don’t really plot. Unless I am writing for a fic fest. Because I have a deadline and all. I am a very spontaneous person, I like to write on whim. Overall I do have a general idea, but most of my favourite scenes are written with no preparation at all.

 

  • There are some significant conversations that I have to plan beforehand, because otherwise it would all be a mess. But I never limit the number of scenes or plan every single of my scenes.

 

  • I wish I could though. Because whenever I am not in the mood to write, I will write nothing. As my brain would come up with nothing ><

 

 

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

 

  • No, I haven't actually. I know it will bother me a bit, but it will make me strong in the end. So im not scared of getting one in the future :3  

 

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

 

  • Action…my Elites of Seoul fic requires so much action, and I feel like I am letting that whole fic down with this inability of mine. I wanted to write some cool scenes of Chanyeol on missions. But I just gave up in the end.

 

  • Actually the next update for Elites of Seoul is pretty big. As all of my readers know, I had left the last chapter on a cliffhanger. And I have a lot planned for that update, but I at writing action -_- So that’s why I have put Elites of Seoul on a semi-hiatus as of yet ><

 

 

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

 

  • I am meant to be working on my Golden exo fest fic, but I haven't touched it in a while. I will try to write at least 5k this week. 

 

 

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

 

  • This is why I at updating regularly. I cant control my mind. I just write whatever I feel like at the moment. Hence I have like a gazillion drafts on my laptop XD

 

 

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

 

  • I tried doing that, like write a 100 words a day. But as I said before, I write spontaneously. So on some days I can barely write 3 words, whilst on other days I would write 4k in one go. So I just learnt to not force myself. As it just ends up my wasting time, that I could spend studying or doing something else.

 

 

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

 

  • Definitely. I think I improve everyday. I always learn something new about grammar or when reading new vocab :D

 

 

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

 

  • I actually don’t have a favourite…I would have said EoS, but it’s a bit of a love-hate relationship ><

 

 

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

 

  • I wrote this embarrassing story of me and my crush back when I was 14? It ended up getting distributed around the whole year (my friends were such es omg). But yeah it was awful. I remember I even wrote my name (stupid Lena) and my crush's real name!!!
  • Good thing I went to an only girls school, so my crush never found out. Despite his only boys school shared discos and proms with my school >< 

 

  • I am actually cringing so hard as I write this. I am bearing all my secrets to you guys. Please don’t betray me.  

 

 

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

 

I definitely want to publish something. I have published in medical journals already (I know its not the same thing but still). My uncle has a publishing company in Sweden, and he said he will consider my work. But the novel I had first thought of publishing (I had written it when I was 16-17) seems really to me now. So either I will improve on it or just start brand new.

 

 

32. How many upvotes do you have?

 

148…wow so much love!

 

 

33. What is the easiest thing about writing?

 

Hmm, I guess it's character development and dialogue ^^ I don't have to think about it a lot.

 

 

34. What is the hardest thing about writing?

 

Thinking about endings makes me anxious af. Probably because I have only written few of them compared to the stories that I have dropped mid-way. Oh and also descriptions!! (Amy let's hi5) I at them~~  I have a good imagination but I don’t think I can convey it well enough in words *sighs*

 

 

35. Why do you write?

 

  • It’s a huge source of stress relief. I have been doing it since I learnt to write. I remember I was popular in my kindergarten in writing one paragraph stories, lmao.

 

 

 

 

I hope none of you slept whilst reading this bland (and embarrassing) tag.

Hopefully it was entertaining and you guys got to know me a bit better 8D
