Wind_rain's Writer Self Interview!
Hello!
Nice to meet everyone, maybe some of you may know me! I decided to have some fun inspired by the recent Q&As but with my own Questions (although I am sure there are similar ones out there).
1. What is you username? Does it have a meaning?
Wind_rain is inspired by EXO's Sehun 'power' Wind and my love of rain, very easy right?
2. How many years have you been writing on AFF?
It had been 3 years since I joined AFF and posted my first fanfic.
3. How many fanfics have you written/published?
I have 9 published stories, one if which is a collection of short stories and there is currently 5 short stories on there.
4. Who usually features in your stories?
I used to write exlcusively for EXO, specifically Sehun. I had a planned a story for each member where all the stories will actually be connected for an overall fic, planning to release it on their birthdays, but I only managed to do one for Sehun, Chanyeol, D.O., Xuimin and Kris. But I actually have complete plots for all the other members, just have not been able to get around to it. I also started branching out to Got7, and currently also working on a story with BTS as the main characters.
5. What is your first Story? Have you re-read it?
It is called Man in Your Dreams, I had not been able to re-read it, way too cringe.
6. What is your favourite story that you have written?
Keep Me Safe for sure, I guess it is right up my alley. XD
7. What inspires your stories?
For my first story, it was actually inspired by an actual dream I had and also one of my short stories, The Seeds We Sow.
But most of the time, it is literally just one line or scene that I want to write and then I build a whole story around it, for example, Keep Me Safe was one of those.
Occasionally it is just a random concept that pops in my head that actually doesn't make sense, for example, Polluted, I was on a bus that drove through a tunnel that only went in one direction, the highway was also surrounded by the pretty open land kind of foresty feel, I litterally thought of the entire fic in 30 mins or so.
Sometimes it is just a picture from a comeback, for example my story, Breathe.
Otherwise sometimes a song that just gives me the feels, such as the BTS fic I am working on.
So a lot I guess!
8. Do you have any stories you regret or would want to change.
If I had the chance, I would rewrite the Kyungsoo's fic all over again and change the whole direction of the story. It didn't turn out the way I wanted, it became one of those stories that I just couldn't control.
9. Do you have any pet peeves when you write?
I guess, there is stuff like when I lose motivation, but for me, the worse is I know that I want A, B and C to happen as like the main events, but now I need to figure out how to make the journey from A to B make sense and then from B to C. It is like the most difficult thing for me.
10. Do you see yourself writing in 10 years from now? Where do you see yourself going?
Well I wonder, because I enjoy writing, but I wonder if I will still be posting on AFF... I think if I might still write some things but I am not sure about posting on AFF, plus life gets busy man.
Thats all for now! Did you see my shameless plugs? Go check out my stories ;). But Thank you for reading this far! I would like to see what other writers answer the same question! But even for the non-writers, where do you see yourself in 10 years? Do you think AFF would have changed?
