Fanfic Q&A

Stolen from MissMinew :D Originally from this tumblr blog.

1: When did you start writing?

Honestly, I can't remember. Maybe around four or five? Back then I was just a brat with nothing better to do, lmao. Those aren't really 'books' or 'fics' though. There was a story, yes, but it was just a few lines on each page with pictures under it, sort of a picture book? There were snippets of stories that flashed through my mind, I'm sure, but I didn't write most of them down. Twelve was the age I really started to write long-length stuff. 

2: How many different fandoms have you written for?

ARMYs, EXO-Ls, BBCs, ELF, VIP, Shawol, L.O.V.E (Nu'est), IGot7, Baby and Starlight. I even wrote fanfics for CN Blue, 2PM and Infinite even though I don't stan them 

3: If applicable, do you think your writing has improved a lot or a little since you first started writing?

Well, compared to that four year old kid and the twelve year old me, I've definetely improved (if not I'll be crying now) 

Grammarwise, there are places where I still make mistakes, but my style and descriptions have improved. There was a time when my writing doesn't even make sense; there weren't any realistic scenes in there, plus a lot of irrelevant comments, so yeah, I guess my style of writing became more mature. 

4: What was the first fic you wrote?

Anime-wise, a story about Louis from Brothers Conflict in first person, where the character is a singer and his sister, while Louis went to style her hair. They fall in love etc etc etc, just another cliche plot (Louis is adopted so technically it's allowed) 

Kpop-wise, another story written from two people's perspectives, from them joining a company and describing their road to debut. The idea is good to toy with, but the writing is horrible. 

5: What is your favorite fic you have written?

Hmmm, I like a lot of things about Fate's Plans, but there were some parts I couldn't figure out, and Lian is somewhat cliche now I look back, even though I liked her ; ;. I like Bounded Fate too, but I feel like Jongdae is somewhat distant from the real one, and I'm not sure how I can fix that, so it's on haitus too...I guess my favourite would be Regret, if I have to choose one, because that one is finished, for one, and the feelings are true. The scene is slightly cringey though 

6: Which character of yours has been your favorite to write?

I have absolutely no idea. Joonmyun in Overdose because he's dead. Lmao, no. Jaehwan in To Us is an amazing character, because he's so selfless and there are parts where he's haunted by his own past. Lian is one of my favourite as well, I guess, because she's so strong-willed...at least on the outside. She got involved in a lot of stuff, but really she just wanted to live a normal life. She's also a tomboy, yet in those times she would be forced to act ladylike, so she's constantly trapped in a shell. I would say Lian. Lian is an amazing character

Also, this guy isn't in any of my fics, but Lee Seungwoo. He's a character for an applyfic, but like Lian, he was forced into a situation he didn't want, and there aren't a lot of people for him to rely on. I think his feelings are fully portrayed in the app I filled in, plus his anguish and past is something I would like to continue developing (also his relationship with his sister as well)

7: Which character of yours do you most identify with (if any)?

Well, most of them are parts of me, so I guess each one of them is similar to my own personality, to some extent. Lian (again I'm biased about her) is the character, I think. She is trying to be strong, because she has to, but she doesn't want to. Her brother's never home, her mother's sick, so she chooses the only path she can take and at the same time was forced to. Lian is constantly trapped in society's norms, because back at those times women are required to be more ladylike, and she doesn't want that, she wants freedom which doesn't show itself to her. I'll stop here because any more would be a spoiler, but I just love her so much. 

Seokjin in Regret too, especially when my mood swings become too severe. He's a broken character, and he gives in to Yoongi's demands, yet he is trapped in his own shell as well, because while he knows he should care for Yoongi, he wants to leave his abusive mate. 

8: Which character of yours do you find the hardest to write?

A lot, haha. Jongdae in Bounded Fate, for one. He's serious in that story, which is a bit contradictory to the real Jongdae, and I'm not too sure how to fix that. Minhyuk and Yukwon in Unexpected Encounters is hard too, thus the reason why I'm on haitus. I feel like the two had become too OC, the characters' personalities doesn't match a lot? Yoongi in To Us is hard too, because I'm not sure which side of him I should bring out 

9: If any, what music/artists do you like to listen to while writing?

I don't usually listen to music when I write, but if I do, it's mostly Kpop. VIXX, EXO, BTS sometimes, KARD, A.C.E. etc

10: Do you ever put any of your own traits or personality into any of your characters? Which?

Most of the main characters resemble me, to some extent. Again, Lian, is one of the characters more closer to my own self. She is, put simply (because I've talked so much about her), trapped, tomboyish, annoyed and frustrated easily which she hides, and has an air of femininity around her which she doesn't realise. 

Seokjin from Regret is the broken side of me, something I don't really like to bring up 

11: If you could take one character from your fic and put it with another character in another one of your fics, who would you want to see together?

I think Lian and Jungkook from Different yet Almost the Same would have a lot to talk about; their situations are somewhat similar, even if the descriptions aren't the same. They have a lot of stressed from everyone around them, so they should definitely meet. 

If Yoongi in Different yet Almost the Same meets the Yoongi in Regret, he would definitely give a lengthy lecture to his counterpart, something worth seeing as well 

12: Which do you prefer writing most, description, dialogue, or actions?

Description. Dialogue would be my second choice, but I feel my descriptions are the best out of the three 

13: If you could base one of your fics in a different location than where it is currently, where would you like it to be?

Nearly all of my fics are based on the real world, but I think Overdose in ancient china would be fun to write. Imagine the chaos when the king/head prince is declared dead 

14: Which of your fics would you like to see turned into a movie the most?

Fate's Plans or Bounded Fate. Maybe even Overdose. Fate's Plans is the one I want to watch the most, out of the three. While I never imagined it in cinemas, I think turning it into a TV show series would be exciting to watch 

15: Which of your characters do you think you would be most friendly with?

Probably Baekhyun from Unexpected Encounters. Heck, I'm not sure. He is someone who seemingly doesn't give a but at the same time cares a lot for people. He shows his cheerful side to people whom he's close to, and I can relate to that. 

16: Are there any ideas you are currently playing around with that you would like to write sooner or later?

Too many. I'm toying with the idea of a mafia, something with a historical background, maybe even some Lovecraft elements too. There are just too many wasted ideas 

17: Favorite fic that is not written by you?


Can't choose ; ; but one of my favourites would be this. It's the most beautiful fanfiction I've ever encountered, and best of all it's my favourite pairing out of the series. Goopeculiar's BAP fics are also amazing, this is also an extremely underrated block b fic which is written well. 

This is one of the few good Dean x Crush fics on AFF, and there was one more which is Baekchen, and Jongdae was deaf so Baekhyun took care of him. I forgot the name tho 

18: Have you ever written a personal experience into your fic?

Yes, I have. Most of the plot lines spawn from my feelings and imagination, so technically the 'personal experience' are my feelings. Regret is the one closest to the truth, and is based on my feelings, which I channeled into Seokjin and Yoongi. 

Others, there aren't that much 

19: Who has been your favorite face claim to use?

Jung Eugene for whatever female OC I use 

20: Lastly, take your favorite character from any of your fics and tell us 3 things you like about him/her and 3 things you dislike.

Lian from Fate's Plans, then.
3 things I like about her:
Her strong personality 
Her tomboyishness
Her love for her own family 

3 things I dislike about her:
She's an impulsive person, but that's all. There aren't much I hate about her, honestly
