I would definitely want to write more non!AU fics (esp for EXO yikes)

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

Updating regularly...getting back into graphic design is another one!

11. How many subscribers do you have?

568 unique subs, 772 total!

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

Okay... 32 total fics oops.

10 completed fics, working on 16, and then 6 are just lost causes at this point XD

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

I pretty much save to AFF as I go so... 32 technically, but I use Google Docs every once in a while.

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

I write them down because I will definitely forge otherwise :(

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

Tried... yeah...

16. How did you discover AFF?

Pretty sure it was an accident haha. Or my friend led me here, I can't actually remember...

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

Definitely not lol

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

No :D

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

I honestly can't say that any one author has inspired me... Each fic I read, though espeically subscribe to or even upvote, inspires me in some way, and though I almost never say anything, I am grateful to those authors ♥

20. How many karma points do you have?

Like, 2.2k or something

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

Proofread, get a beta if possible, and try to use correct grammar/punctuation. I know I am not always the best at this, but I try to present my best possible work. I can love a plotline but give up on the fic because of lousy/lazy grammar/spelling/etc.

Also, please, unless it's there for irony/purpose/etc, please try to refrain from using romanized Korean ("saranghae", "wae", "ne", etc), Korean text lingo ("kkk" or "kekeke"), or anything along those lines because IT 👏 IS 👏 VERY 👏 ANNOYING 👏. Trust me. I did it at one point, and that's why I've made a huge revamp of my stories. It's very cringy and awkward. Please only use it sparingly.

That's my advice.

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

A healthy mix of both, I would say!

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

I've gotten a couple comments questioning why I wrote something the way I did, but I don't think I've gotten a flat out bad review...

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

Action and fantasy...

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

Most of them are a secret because they are for fic fests :)

But I'm working on these independently:

Everytime

Ephemera

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

LOLOL of course XD

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

Nope lol

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

200% YES. Man I was a hot mess back then...

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

The aforementioned 2 fics have been fun so far, and also Those Three Words

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

honestly I don't even know

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

Probably nowhere, maybe still writing fanfics here (hard to say...)

32. How many upvotes do you have?

69 LOL @ MY LIFE

33. What is the easiest thing about writing?

Procrastinating until you are working on 12 stories at once :)

34. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Going from ideas to writing, focusing, not coming up with ideas

35. Why do you write?

Because it's a clear and managable goal. It is fun and gives me a purpose, in a way.
