Author Questionnaire

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

Haha that…well I used this username because I would remember it well as I like ‘cats’ and ‘sba’ is related to my last name. I didn’t realize that I should pick something more relevant as I gained more and more readers. I thought of changing it but I feel like catsba is my brand name now ^^

 

2. Which is your most subscribed to story?

My Drug. I know all my readers love a bit of .

 

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

I change it a lot but it will always be my biases showing their love for each other.

 

4. Who is your AFF bestie?

Humm I would have to say JoeyTJ. She disappears every so often but we support each other as Taengsic authors.

 

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

There are a lot that I reread over and over. I am sure the ones I reread the most are in my Bookmarks, but I would say I go back and read Skandl, Countdown to Midnight (1&2) and No Strings Attached/Heartbeat the most.

 

6. How many stories are you subscribed to?

194…I am sure these are all Taengsic except one J

 

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

Just anything that Taengsic would be together.

 

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

I keep writing but I am not that great at it. I am also more careful where I decide to write as I don’t want anyone else except my readers to know what I am doing *embarrassed*

 

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

Wow I would love to be a genius at photoshop. The shop I use for my posters does an amazing job so I am envious of their skills.

 

10. How many subscribers do you have?

Unique Subs: 5923

Total Subs: 15444

 

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

83…oh wow I wrote a lot. Lucky readers

 

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

I save my stories in a folder but I think other than the 83 that are there, I have about 3-4 stories that I haven’t finished or gave up on.

 

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

I write notes sometimes but most of my writing in the stories is thought of right at that moment.

 

14. Have you ever co-authored a story?

Nope. I have had offers but people ask when I have 4-5 stories going on. It is hard to do more than 2 stories at a time so it is great that now I am down to 3 stories (and one on a 1 year hiatus)

 

15. How did you discover AFF?

I was trying to find fanfics and that is it.

 

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

I am well known within the Taengsic area but not if I go away from that pairing.

 

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

Haha no. I didn’t know we could have that as a writer. Should I make a poll to request one from my readers?

 

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

I motivate myself but there are some amazing authors out there that motivate me to write better.

 

19. How many karma points do you have?

9551. I am known to give these away for poster making or if I want to advertise a story.

 

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

Try not to make updating a chore. Remember that you love this pairing and writing. Nothing else matters.

 

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

I should do more planning but I figure out things as I go.

 

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

I don’t think so. I love constructive criticism so if there is a reader in hiding that wants to criticize, please tell me your opinions.

 

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

L I love reading it but I can’t write.

 

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

Today I am working on I Will Love You Again but I have Make Me Forget and Trigger as my other two stories.

 

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

If a new idea pops up, I will write a paragraph or two and see where it goes, but it might end up in my unfinished story pile. I do have to tell myself that you have too much going on and scrap a few ideas due to being overambitious.

 

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

Nope. I need motivation to write. It was much easier to write when Jessica was still in the group and interacting with Taeyeon. Now that she isn’t, most of my writing motivation will be from other Taengsic authors.

 

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

Oh yea. I can tell when I read some of my old things.

 

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

Humm I have gone over some of my favorite stories in my blog when I have my Anniversaries in AFF. I would go there to see what I said were my favorite for the year.

 

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

I am sure I have one but I am not sure now.

 

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

I didn’t know I would be still here writing after 3 years so it is possible to go on for another 5, but there are so many other factors and unknowns.

 

31. How many upvotes do you have ?

2087. Wow thank you so much! My readers are the best!

 

32. What is the easiest thing about writing?

When you have an idea and know how to write it.

 

33. What is the hardest thing about writing?

I have an idea but I don’t know how to write it haha.

 

34. Why do you write?

I love it.

I love Taengsic.

I love my readers and want to have them enjoy my OTP with me.
