35 Questions For AFF Authors

 

TAGGING EVERYONE!

 

I randomly saw this Q & A and I realized I wanted to do it so I can blow off some steam.

 

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

 

I’m a fan of EXO and BTS, obviously hahahaha and I like 143 because it means I love you. My U/N doesn’t really have a deep meaning. lol

 

2. Which is your most subscribed to story?

 

*checks*

 

It’s Lucifer’s First Love. I think the subs should be around 4k(?) already but years ago, I got mad with silent readers so I think I unsubbed some?

 

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

 

I LOVE D.O.

 

4. Who is your AFF bestie?

 

NONE.

 

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

 

I’ve mentioned these fics countless times before: The Butler and Concordis by anonymousj

 

6. How many stories are you subscribed to?

 

251 as of the moment (not all are stories. Some are graphics and layout shops, recs and other stuff).

 

7. What AU do you find yourself writing about most?

 

Recently, it’s bff!au? HAHAHAHA.

 

8. How many friends do you have?

 

I originally had more than 1k but I have been deleting the silent readers (and im still not done and my wrist freaking hurts so I’m resting nowadays lol) so I’m left with more than 700. If you are a silent reader, please unfriend me. Thanks a bunch.

 

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!)

 

My family is quite religious so basically, all of my stories? AHAHAHAHA.

 

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

 

No? I’m at my point in life where I’m so fed up with the hypocrites here…

 

The old me wanted to be friendly and understanding but now, I just don’t care anymore. I don’t want to bother and end up getting lied to or having people who’ll betray me. :)

 

It doesn’t matter. Everyone will always have something to say, so why bother, right?

 

 

11. How many subscribers do you have?

 

Total: 56693

Unique: 20790

 

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

 

More than 60? I don’t really know how to answer this question because I like doing collections. So I’m not sure if they should be counted as one or separately for each story????

 

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

 

I don’t know. I don’t count them and my files aren’t organized hahaha

 

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

 

I do write them down thinking I can write some of them someday. LOL but I really don’t have time T-T

 

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

 

Yes.

 

16. How did you discover AFF?

 

I already told this story previously. In 2015, I really shipped Sehun and Hayoung so hard that I started reading fanfics about them… until I ended up in this site hahaha.

 

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

 

 No. When you say famous, that’s Cara.

 

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

 

 No. But a few years back, I did call them cheesecakes (BTS readers) HAHAHAHA.

 

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

 

 No… It’s more of me wanting to write because I wanted to do things on my own way HAHAHAHA.

 

20. How many karma points do you have?

 

 Do you really have to know? I have over 200k KPs. AHAHAHA.

 

Just kidding. :)

 

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

 

Advice? I’m not good at this. I just want to say, there will always be silent treatment so please expect that. What else? You have to accept that people come and go. Also, active readers can hurt you in other ways they don’t realize and other authors will say some authors are being unreasonable or they might say that particular authors just won’t get satisfied. Of course, they will always have a lot of things to say behind your back. That’s how it always works.

 

If before, I tried to understand the silent readers, I’m so done. Like sooo done. Go ahead and read my fics but don’t add me as a friend. That’s just paradoxical, don’t you think? (At least, in my perspective). I mean, hello? Why will you send me a friend request if you intend to give me silent treatment? Lmao.

 

So, if some readers and authors are hypocrites and they support the silent treatment, I actually don’t care. You go on with your thing and I’ll mind my business. ^_^

 

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

 

It depends. Altho I usually plan things, I have few fics that I don’t really have any idea what I’m doing so I just write as I go.

 

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

 

Of course. I haven’t forgotten them but I take note of them to improve myself. But really, some of them aren’t directed towards my fics but more of like a personal attack? Lol.

 

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

 

 Yeah. Action scene, and fluff.

 

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

 

Secret.

 

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

 

I always have new story ideas. Huhu.

 

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

 

I once challenged myself to do this but because I have poor memory and low attention span, I need to write a single chapter in one sitting… T-T If not, I will forget that I have an existing draft hahaha.

 

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

 

I hope so.

 

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

 

I can’t make a choice as of the moment. HAHAHA.

 

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

 

Least favorite… Maybe the old ones?

 

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

 

I have no idea.

 

32. How many upvotes do you have?

 

Do I have to reveal this?

 

33. What is the easiest thing about writing?

 

Nothing.

 

34. What is the hardest thing about writing?

 

Everything.

 

35. Why do you write?

 

I previously said that I write to touch the reader’s hearts but I have come to the conclusion that I write for myself after all. I write to express myself. And at this point, I’m done being friendly and understanding and you will no longer see me doing any activities in the future because based from experience, some people will always focus on the negativity and nitpick on any parts they want to question or probe into to make people feel bad or question themselves as well.

 

Some would stick on you like a glue and if something bad happened, they’d dish the dirt and in one moment, they are against you. I really had hopes for this site and I was happy to witness people engaging in healthy friendships but damn, I don’t know what to say anymore.

But I might as well take this chance to clarify a number of things:

  1. If you’re not aware, I block these type of users:
  • Consecutive unsubbers – it doesn’t matter if you commented on my other fics or gave upvotes. I HATE PEOPLE UNSUBBING ON MY FICS CONSECUTIVELY AND THAT’S A PERSONAL VEXATION.
  • Those who have offended me – readers making requests but don’t leave comments about what I wrote for them and toxic people.
  • Weirdos – Need I say more?
  1. I won’t be restricting my fics but I have now restricted my profile/wall to friends only. Also, I will no longer accept FRs from silent readers.
  2. IDGAF :D

Of all the questions,I think question no 16 is more interesting to me becos when and way how did I came to know abt Aff is I really don't know how did it started but I think that time I was really into shipping park shin hye and Lee Minho that time and I became reading their fanfic story from the author jaseypark,she was an amazing writer but I think she no longer here.And ohmagod that was long time again after the drama Heirs (2013)came out.

Thank you for sharing. I hope there is a version of this questionnare for readers too. Love ya authornim! Write as you please and not for anyone else bec. that is the way you write best!
