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:
- When I complete a story. (Might not seem like a big deal but finishing a story is always a big deal to me)
- When I actually feel proud of something I wrote. That's just so rewarding.
- When a story makes sense and the characters are fleshed out exactly as I wanted them to be.
- When I get a (good) long comment on one of my fics.
- When people tell me I'm one of their favorite authors (;-;) ♥ that's just unbelievable to me
- 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 (;-;))
- My readers. ♥ (I'm being cheesy right now but hey, deal with it.)
Things I dislike:
- When I read one of my fics after a long time and start only seeing all of its flaws instead of the good things.
- When I get none or close to no comments on a story I posted (especially a story I like).
- 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.
- When I suddenly have a peak of inspiration but I have no time to write whatsoever.
- When, on the contrary, I have time to write but don't feel like it.
- When I suddenly feel insecure about my writing skills and start questioning everything I wrote/am writing.
As a reader...
Things I like:
- fics. They're life, tbh.
- Good stories. Like, well-written, realistic and beautiful stories that make you feel things. ♥
- Supernatural!AUs and other non-mundane fics. (including Ghost!AU, Vampire!AU, Mermaid!AU, Fairies!AU, etc... Omegaverse depends though.)
- 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.
- Good domestic fics. Especially Onkey domestic!AUs.
- Onkey. (Yes, I'm 100% onkey trash)
- 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)
- Top!Onew. Because that's just so, so hot. OMG. Like, wow. Top!Onew is hot.
- 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:
- 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.
- Mpreg. I don't hate it, but I don't like it either. (which is why I'm divided with omegaverses)
- 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.)
- Overly innocent characters. Or just characters that just make sense or don't have any complexity at all.
- Clichés when it comes to characters. (because I actually like some clichés when it comes to plots)
- Fics that aren't SHINee. (I'm so biased, I know.)
- Fics that aren't written well. (no respect of basic grammar, confusing sentences, etc)
- 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 !
