Stolen from _Mirabella_

Feel free to steal, I know you're bored too

1. Describe your comfort zone—a typical you-fic.

If imma be truly honest, my comfort zone is getting out of my comfort zone haha. I have been trying to analyze the ideas I produce, and they’re quite different from each other. If you’re familiar with my other multimedia works (graphic, layout, trailer), I believe I approach stories the same way, if you know what I mean. Like maybe graphic, layout, trailers, and stories are only mediums to express myself hehe. But if there’s something distinct about what I write is that I’m into psychological and dark-feeling-kind-of-thing or something gritty. 
 

2. Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?

“Really want to”?? Lol I’m trying to quit writing so dont even (but will try my best to finish my wips before that)

3. Is there a trope you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole?

Uuuhhhh ngl anything mainstream/cliche really XD Bc my thinking is that “Oh this has been written so why would I make another one?” But okay, a trope—maybe doctor AUs (Are those tropes? I'm noob sendt help)— I don’t want to pretend I know a lot about medical stuff because I don’t 

im really foreign about tropes

4. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?

I have been suppressing myself to create new ideas because it’s not good for my WIPs lol. But I just came up with something new the other day but let’s see if it would see light. But there’s this old supernatural, post apocalyptic fic idea I probably wouldn’t write (here)

5. Share one of your strengths.

Probably psyche. And I’m also lowkey confident with my dialogues hehe. 

6. Share one of your weaknesses.

Details details details. Nitty gritty details (So are my graphics and layouts right??) What they’re wearing, what the weather’s like etc etc.  I’m so impatient :( 

7. Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

The Imaginary One

They actually had an argument before this. I particularly love this scene because no words were spoken and let their actions speak volumes of their affections for each other. I also like this because even though they had some serious going down, they managed to forget about it even just for a while and, you know, work it out and be there for each other. 

And actions >>>>>>>>>

Bonus:

Tunnel Caprica 

If I'm here, I'm probably the friend who needs the water after throwing up haha

8. Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

[ Rated M ]

Tunnel Caprica

Because this was just so fun lmao. I love writing Sehun 😂 

Also if we try to extract this short scene, we understand that Baekhyun may have kissed a transwoman, but Baekhyun has girlfriend (?!), and then Sehun said, what? his, what? What’s happening? XD And if we dissect further, is Baekhyun homophobic? Or he hasn’t opened his eyes wide enough? And Sehun is just wild lol

9. Which fic has been the hardest to write?

The Imaginary One. Besides that this is a full length story, I spent a lot of time researching and plotting and rewriting the plot. Gave me real headaches, this one. But we’re almost done yay! Claps claps. Please support, please support! 

10. Which fic has been the easiest to write?

Nothing really lol. 

11. Is writing your passion or just a fun hobby?

Nope, not really, I don't think so. Though I can be very passionate talking about movies and stories

12. Is there a moment above all others that inspires you just a little bit more?

Uhmm. I just go to the toilet to find inspiration lol. After Prison was a legitimate toilet idea. 

Half kidding aside, idk inspiration comes from everywhere

13. What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever come across?

Plan ahead. Though allow yourself to be flexible with your plot. Meaning, once you’ve plotted your story, be open to rewrite it bc characters are damn unpredictable 

14. What’s the worst writing advice you’ve ever come across?

I-I dont know. 

(After I searched). I saw “Never use said” as the worst writing advice. Yeah, I agree. I’m a ‘said’ hoe bc my vocab is 🤏

15. If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would you choose? 

The Imaginary One or Tunnel Caprica hehe. I’d love to direct it meself too if given a chance in maybe decades lmao. If I did, I’m gonna rewrite them for the screen. Like, rewrite everything, change major things. Tho Tunnel Caprica may be too obscene, maybe it could work as an indie film lmaoooo

16. If you only could write one pairing for the rest of your life, which pairing would it be?

I’m an OC fic writer TT. But maybe SeBaek or KaiBaek??? Idk what’s up with Baekhyun, he’s not even my bias lol. 

17. Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?

Before, I hate to outline. Now, I have to or else I might lose interest

18. Do you use any tools, like worksheets or outlines?

I use Final Draft for my outlines, notebooks for calculating dates of events lmao, and Pages for my chapters, Notes on phone for ideas I might forget later.

19.  Stephen King once said that his muse is a man who lives in the basement. Do you have a muse?

Hmmmm lemme check my basement

20. Describe your perfect writing conditions.

I just discovered my perfect writing conditions and it's on a weekday morning when I have work at the same time with a good french pressed coffee beside me.

Idk what’s wrong with me

21. How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?

Once or twice lol. Usually once. Thank god TIO has an amazing beta reader <3 But if the chapter have critical scenes or dialogues, I do a lot of revisions

22.  Choose a passage from one of your earlier fics and edit it into your current writing style.

Too lazy. 

23. If you were to revise one of your older fics from start to finish, which would it be and why?

Idk ive made mistakes and learned from them. Id rather create something new

24. Have you ever deleted one of your published fics?

Yup, the supernatural, post apolalyptic fic i talked about. This is its premise, if you wanna check it out

25. What do you look for in a beta?

Quite a few have noticed that I have a certain writing style, so I would want someone who’s flexible and comfortable with my writing style even tho I’m insecure about it. And someone who’s also interested in the story so hopefully they enjoy what they’re editing. And just someone who could really help make the story better :)

26. Do you beta yourself? If so, what kind of beta are you?

No

27. How do you feel about collaborations?

I’ve never done collabs. I don’t think I have the time :/  Ok wait, how I 'feel' about it? Sure, that sounds fun especially if your co-author is at the same wavelength as you. Otherwise, it might turn *shrugs* 

28. Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.

-

29. If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

I've said this countless times,,, I don’t read

But omg there’s this one anime called “Nana” and it’s so good but it was discontinued and it really crossed my mind to write a fanfiction about it. 

30. Do you accept prompts?

Sure why not, but writing it? Idk

31. Do you take liberties with canon or are you very strict about your fic being canon compliant?

I take full liberties >;) *trusting smile*

32. How do you feel about ?

Love it lol. Though my s are more action oriented than talking-talking, just throw in a couple of dialogues, sure. Bc I’m like, “the hell are you blabbering about,, just do it.” 

33. How do you feel about crack?

Sureeee. I actually have a standby idea that’s crack but also ARGH how to be wholesome. But it prolly won't see light. So here's the poster for it. (I rarely do comedy btw)

34. What are your thoughts on non-con and dub-con?

It depends really. I’m just—*hides in the corner*

Anyway, if i did allow something bad happen, I’ll make sure they’ll face the consequences 

35. Would you ever kill off a canon character?

Lol yes. Why not?

36. Which is your favorite site to post fic?

AFF then AO3. Tho AFF's been kinda sad. I like the AO3 vibes tbh, it’s chill even though I haven’t posted a lot. 

37. Talk about your current wips.

The Imaginary One — this story grew on me T__T Some may find the story dark, complicated and uhh—complicated, but it’s the characters who made this entire journey wholesome, at least for me. I wish I could make another story like TIO because it’s so good for the soul (at least for me) but I don’t think I can make another story like TIO ;( 

Tunnel Caprica — On the flipped side of the coin, this is nowhere near wholesome haha, this is dark, like Jae dark type of fic. This story is about world-discovery which lead Baekhyun, the main character, to self-discover himself. And in this story, it will be an adventure about , money, drugs HAHA So expect 90% of the chapters rated M. I’m not confident about the steaminess of the here tho. I get the impression some were disturbed? I gave an extensive warning on the foreword. So I did my part.

Manned— Uhm idk what’s wrong with me. This is about ia and going against the church. I am uhh—semi-athiest? Now, I’m actually not sure if I’m an atheist or a nihilist?? But despite all that, I like to believe I’m still a good person hehe. Religion doesn’t define anything, your actions do. I don’t have any grudge against the church. My parents raised me well (they’re religious) and I still have my respects. I just have a weird brain. 

#facts

38. Talk about a review that made your day.

I like it when a reader described my stories in general as “always has that bad, prisoner, evil people vibe in your stories” hehe

And it always touches me when I’m able to make impact to readers bc T___T that dont need an explanation. My favorite part is when they question things, not about the story but about life

(ok i may have read the question differently)

39. Do you ever get rude reviews and how do you deal with them?

not really??? But if ever, I think I’m pretty good at handling people x) 

40. Write an alternative ending to [insert fic title] (or just the summary of one).

Uhh no. I guess I dont have a lot of endings yet XDD
