As a Writer...

Things I Like:

  1. Reading comments/thoughts of my readers. I love to know what my readers like and dislike about my story, what they think of plot and all that hehehehe sometimes they even remind me of details that I've forgotten and also give me new ideas on what to include in the future
  2. Encouraging comments -  they brighten up my day no matter what. Especially when I mention that I'm feeling down, most readers would leave nice comments for me.
  3. Imagining myself as the main character - I have an over-imaginative mind and I love daydreaming hehehe
  4. Come up with new ideas randomly throughout the day just by glancing around the places I'm at and the events happening around me - I like people watching sometimes because they give me inspirations on how some people are like so I can include their ways in my characters.
  5. Writing cliches hahaha like arranged marriages <3 and romance - I've been dying to get into a romantic relationship with someone I love, to experience how it's like to be in love and also, as sadist as it sounds, I wanna know how heartbreak feels like.
  6. Seeing that my readers enjoyed the story and also when they tell me how much they enjoyed it heheheheheh


Things I Dislike:

  1. Rude comments on my characters. I know people are entitled to their comments and opinions but sometimes there are just these rude comments that throw me off. Although the characters aren't real, but they are still part of me.
  2. WRITER'S BLOCK
  3. Not being able to reply to those readers that anticipate a chapter from one of the stories that I've left alone because I myself am not sure when I would have the motivation to write a chapter
  4. Lacking the motivation and feels to write a chapter
  5. Unable to continue a story that I think is a really good idea - for example, Pandora's Box
  6. Unable to decide on a male lead halfway through the story - aka Hopeless Love
  7. Comments that are like update quickly! // next update! and comments that are along that line. I want to know what you think about the story, not see you telling me to update. I update when I feel like it, ya know. I need feels to do it. [These comments are actually okay if they are placed after a short comment about the story, but just not by itself]
  8. Sometimes I hate how easy I sway when it comes to certain things and how soft my heart goes when planning for bad things to happen :")


As a Reader..

Things I Like:

  1. Genres like: romance, romcom, action, arranged marriages - ANYTHING AS CLICHE AS THAT - and those pregnant-then-forced-into-marriage-then-fall-in-love stories (i need to write that genre again someday)
  2. Stories written in good english, with proper paragraph length and lining [example: justify] and with one colour
  3. Sweet sweet sweet moments between a pair of boyxgirl best friends, couples and also those going into the relationship stage but not that yet phase - some(?) I like imagining myself as the female lead when I'm reading stories
  4. Really good villian characters - aka loviet's Rules of Deductions' Yoo Chang and Sangmin
  5. REALLY GOOD PLOT TWISTS THAT I DON'T SEE COMING or WHEN SMALL HINTS THAT I DON'T TAKE NOTICE COME TOGETHER AND MAKING SENSE IN THE LATER CHAPTERS - i can't write plot twists to save my life so I devote my time reading them to learn how to piece my own plot twist
  6. Making friends with authors and readers alike hahaha ♡♡


Things I Dislike:

  1. Those same-gender, gender-bender stories
  2. Incomplete stories that have amazeballs plots
  3. Going through lists of recommendations and when I finally found one story that intrigues me a lot, the author is either deactivated or has removed the story - due to plagarism and all that
  4. Improper lining and length of paragraphs, I get really irritated seeing a huge chuck of words splat on the screen. I need a pause between chapters to take a breather and just in case I look away, I am able to know where I stopped when I come back.
  5. Stories with multiple colours in one chapter - it hurts my eyes

 

I guess that's about it? HAHA these are all I can come out with at the top of my head

OHHHH THESE ARE ALL GOOD! And yessss I agree with most of themmm! Most of them because some don't apply to me. Hahahah But especially about people watching. I think i unconsciously study people's character as much as I can. And imagining myself as main character.. Hehehehhe i wish... #returnofdelulufangirls xD
