i stole this shamelessly from OnceUponAnEXO (but it's okay because they said i could LOL)

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

that has to do with certain things that i'd like to keep private HAHAH but long story short i came up with smth for my tumblr username and then ended up shortening it to 'Finally_Home' for most other accounts. so if you run into another Finally_Home on another website feel free to shoot me a message on there or here or smth and i'll let you know if that's me! (it might not be, but it might)

2. Which is your most subscribed to story?

surprisingly... 1983: teukchul... i didn't even think the stories were that good but occasionally it gets another sub and i'm like... pls sub to my more recent stories LOL

i'm grateful for all my subs! i just don't think the stories in this particular collection deserve 88 subs lol

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

BECAUSE KIKI IS A GOD AND I LOVE HER!!!!!!!! i think this particular one was a freebie from some contest or another? but yeah i have two pfps from her and i love them both

4. Who is your AFF bestie?

there's a lot of amazing ppl i've met on AFF >:) but the hoe squad has to be the ppl i'm generally closest to 

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

literally anything by crimsongravedigger but particularly liquid gold, again literally anything by dementedkenji but particularly the great attractor (and gravity binds you to me), if we go down (let's show them we are better) [i actually wrote smth vaguely inspired by this], those hands that threaten doom [LITERALLY in love with daggerism's writing style and storytelling ability], and (this one's rated M) of cucumbers and desperation [it's SO funny i think about it all the time].

6. How many stories are you subscribed to?

839 lol a lot of the recent ones are applyfics and layout threads though

7. What genre or story types do you find yourself writing about most?

i was just thinking about this today LOL whenever i sit down, i gravitate towards either character studies or scifi. there's like no in between and it bothers the out of me?? i've been trying to do more with other genres (i particular i like magical realism) but my brain doesn't like that...

8. How many friends do you have?

157

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!)

not so much the judgment but more like i don't get far when i write outside my comfort zone (which is, again, either character studies or scifi)... but in general ig writing kpop fanfiction is already smth that i don't want real life ppl finding LOL

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

it's not like i do much on here anymore but i guess updating? i've never been good at planning lol

11. How many subscribers do you have?

subs: 1236, unique subs: 911

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

aff says 117 but i think those include drafts? there are 15 drafts, some of them are stories that are now exclusively on ao3, and some of them i never started, and others are applyfics that i closed lmao

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

i count my computer and google docs differently due to storage issues. and even then i have my personal account and my backup account LOL. so on my computer i don't have that much space so there aren't too many, but whew, i've used almost all of my personal google drive space. my backup account's doing okay but i'm mostly using that one for translations

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

the problem with 'story ideas' is that i have many of them every day but i never write them down because i'm like oh this one's good as just a daydream but later when i'm like hey that was a good idea i've forgotten it already :( the point being, i try to write them down but don't always do that

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

yeah well... not an actual story story, but applyfics for sure. they haven't ever worked out for various reasons, but mostly because we both get busy and lose interest :")

16. How did you discover AFF?

i think my friend found introspective and we both loved it so much that we immediately made accounts? she's no longer on this site i don't think

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

i would like to be lmao?

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

that's sort of weird LOL

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

i've met so many awesome ppl on AFF and a lot of them are no longer active :((( but crimsongravedigger was a real one, i followed her when she was still text-me-luhan and followed her tumblr as well, and then we both branched out of exo and nowadays i think she's active on twitter as @jiminnamoro and makes really cute quizzes on uquiz!

20. How many karma points do you have?

11670

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

don't 👏 chase 👏 external 👏 validation

seriously.

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

i'd like to plot more but my problem is that if i write out a detailed plot, i consider that as 'i've already written it' and am too lazy to write it in more detail. but if i don't do that, i really can't write longer stories. so i'm stuck writing character studies since those can be done in one sitting lol.

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

idk? i don't think so?

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

only two applyfics: pocket boys and vega, but working on got7 stuff and translation things too

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