35 Questions for Writers

I stole this from my babygirl lovelyairi <3

 

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?

It's the name of a fruit in a computer game and I liked it. Greetings to my fellow Stardew Valley players :p

 
2. Which is your most subscribed to story?

Let's Talk about X

 
3. Why did you pick your user photo/thumbnail?

Because it makes me go BCUHFEZOQGPFRUJDHBNIP everytime I look at it.

 
4. Who is your AFF bestie?

I wouldn't want to miss lovelyairi and DaeJaeLover even for a single day of my life <3

 
5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

No

 
6. How many stories are you subscribed to?

269

 
7. Which AU do you find yourself writing most?

I do not write regularly anymore but I still find myself drawn into all kinds of supernatural/mystical themes.

 
8. How many friends do you have?

91

 
9. Is there something you'd like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

No, I just write whatever makes me happy.

 
10. Is there something you'd like to be better at on aff? Writing, graphic design (posters), replying to comments, updating regularly, etc..?

Updating regularly, or just updating AT ALL :'D

 
11. How many subscribers do you have?

1914 unique subscribers

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

33 in total, of which 7 are unfinished, of which 2 of them are random one-shot collections which are probably always going to stay unfinished. So I'd say 5 unfinished stories.

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

16 

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

I write everything down very meticulously, plan things, add details here and there, just to never write them anyway. But I'm planning to, really!

 
15. Have you ever co-authoured a story?

I don't believe so, but I have beta-ed a few stories.

 
16. How did you discover AFF?

A friend showed me. Oh dear was I shocked and look at me now.

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

No, I'm glad when I get like 2 people to even acknowledge that they read my fics and leave a comment to let me know.

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

I nickname them 'my lovelies'

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

mumiin, their "As We Die" trilogy was the most emotional and best fic EVER on this page. Sadly it's not there anymore ;(

 
20. How many karma points do you have?

currently 5290

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

Do what makes you happy. Don't let anybody tell you to write something else, or how often you are supposed to update. This is your hobby, your time you are spending and you should spend this time feeling good and happy. You don't owe anybody an update, it's your hobby and you do this for free and people appreciate writers too little already so just do as you please because somebody will be complaining regardless what you do anyway. 

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

I mostly plot everything through before I even start writing.

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

I once got a comment saying my fic reminded them of Romeo and Juliet and that they hate it. I did not adress it.

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

I would say I feel the most awkward writing dialogues. 

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

I am working on finishing Hiraeth and finally upload the special chapter for Serendipity. I'm going to finish all my fics one day, REALLY!

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

I already have more fics planned than I can ever write in my life. There are a few which I am very eager to start writing, which have been sitting in my folder since yearsssss, I hope I can get to it one day, but I am not going to start a new fic before at least most of my ongoing stories are finished.

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

No, I usually don't write at all for months and then I get inspired and write a chapter and then take another long break.

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

I am not sure. I would say my english has improved but when I look back at my very first story, I get this 'oh my god this is amazing did I really write this? NO WAY' feeling.

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

I am fond of all of my stories and I wouldn't want to miss the experience of any of them. But I am particularly fond of 'Cupid's Cupid' - which was my very first fanfic, Komorebi, which I put a whole lot of effort into, and Prince of the Night.

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

There is none.

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

Hopefully having finished all my unfinished stories ;)

 
32. How many upvotes do you have?

1000

 
33. What is the easiest thing about writing?

Finding inspiration in random things and wanting to turn them to a story. I remember when I started writing, a friend could have said "omg I just sneezed" and I would have replied with "omg that would be a great fic".

 
34. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Motivating myself to write again after the silence that follows after updating a chapter.

 
35. Why do you write?

I don't think I have only one answer to this.

When I first wanted to write, I was so captivated by a fanfic that I just wanted to bring something cool like this into the world too.  

When I first ACTUALLY wrote, I did it to pass time when I couldn't sleep at night when I was very very ill.

I continued writing because I enjoyed it and I could barely think about anything else apart from new fanfic ideas.

Now... I just write because I promised myself to not leave anything unfinished behind. I don't feel any fondness towards writing at the moment - but a part of me wishes for it to come back one day.

I got into aff and BAP and fanfic writing bc of "as we die" and also another story by mumiin in which BAP have white hair and special powers. I remember a huge cat like creature that was dear to junhong. Everyone talks about as we die but this story was precious in its own way. I owe mumiin a lot, technically everything I have on aff. It's just heart breaking that she didn't handle the translation thing very well :( I wish she hadn't taken down everything.

As we die was such a ride.
After all of it Jongup died. I cried a ing river.

Ughhhhh I can't. I miss that story so much.


And I tottaly relate: I look back at things I've written years ago and go like: I'll never write this again. This is very good.
