Author and reader tag

 

I just saw this on someone else's blog post and it looked fun so... Here is it ! :D

(Also I should be studying right now but I'm hanging onto excuses not to)

 

As a writer...

Things I like:

  1. When I complete a story. (Might not seem like a big deal but finishing a story is always a big deal to me)
  2. When I actually feel proud of something I wrote. That's just so rewarding.
  3. When a story makes sense and the characters are fleshed out exactly as I wanted them to be.
  4. When I get a (good) long comment on one of my fics.
  5. When people tell me I'm one of their favorite authors (;-;) ♥ that's just unbelievable to me
  6. When people ask me to write things on Twitter after they see a prompt (that's just so cute and I'm always emo because it makes me feel like they genuinely like what I write (;-;))
  7. My readers. ♥ (I'm being cheesy right now but hey, deal with it.)

Things I dislike:

  1. When I read one of my fics after a long time and start only seeing all of its flaws instead of the good things.
  2. When I get none or close to no comments on a story I posted (especially a story I like).
  3. When I look at the old fics I posted and know I'll probably never get a comment on those because no one sees/reads them.
  4. When I suddenly have a peak of inspiration but I have no time to write whatsoever.
  5. When, on the contrary, I have time to write but don't feel like it.
  6. When I suddenly feel insecure about my writing skills and start questioning everything I wrote/am writing.

 

As a reader...

Things I like:

  1. fics. They're life, tbh.
  2. Good stories. Like, well-written, realistic and beautiful stories that make you feel things. ♥ 
  3. Supernatural!AUs and other non-mundane fics. (including Ghost!AU, Vampire!AU, Mermaid!AU, Fairies!AU, etc... Omegaverse depends though.)
  4. Bottom!Key. But not like those overly submissive bottoms people write because that's just... no. I like condident bottom!Key that can rock your world and knows it.
  5. Good domestic fics. Especially Onkey domestic!AUs.
  6. Onkey. (Yes, I'm 100% onkey trash)
  7. Fluffy fics, ty fics, fics that are a little angsty, (sometimes) sad fics... A bit of everything really, except for those really sad and angsty fics that leave you heartbroken and dead inside. (except if they're really beautiful and totally worth being emotionally destroyed)
  8. Top!Onew. Because that's just so, so hot. OMG. Like, wow. Top!Onew is hot.
  9. Good plot twists. Like wow, if you can write genuinely good plot twists that readers can't see coming but still make perfect sense with the story, you're my hero. I wish I could write plot twists but I never think of complex enough stories.  

Things I dislike:

  1. Fics that include /Non-con. It's fine if it's only mentioned but if it's more than that I just try to avoid it at all cost. That's just one of those trigger-warnings I can't deal with. Also, fics that romanticize shouldn't exist, tbh. 
  2. Mpreg. I don't hate it, but I don't like it either. (which is why I'm divided with omegaverses)
  3. When one of the characters of the main pairings dies. (It just breaks my heart so much omg. Some stories with characters deaths are amazing though.)
  4. Overly innocent characters. Or just characters that just make sense or don't have any complexity at all.
  5. Clichés when it comes to characters. (because I actually like some clichés when it comes to plots)
  6. Fics that aren't SHINee. (I'm so biased, I know.)
  7. Fics that aren't written well. (no respect of basic grammar, confusing sentences, etc)
  8. Amazing fics that will never be completed. That's just horrible and it makes my heart ache.

 

I know I probably forgot a lot of things but... meh. If I think of something else I'll add it !

it's okay to sees all those flaws cause it helps you and made you right now.
