The Problem with Applyfic
Well this is nothing personal but I just can help but blab this out
(Yeah, I blab a lot. Sometimes I can be rude. Cross that out. Most of the times)
I. Owners are Too Picky
I know it's thier story. It's their property but applicants have a hard time making applications with rules like:
- Don't use this ulzzang, s/he's overly used / I don't like her/his looks / and many more other reasons
- Age limit are from blah to blah only
- Ethnicity must be blah blah blah
II. Authors tend to troll
I mean it's an applyfic but sometimes the author just can stop to click "update story". It's fine but at least make an effort to make a little "teaser" or a random "allkpop article" or even important annoucement. I hate it when I see "new story updated" the moment I logged in but it turns out to be just one applyfic author rambling about his/her bias or telling what happend to his/her day. These things seriuosly annoys the hell out of me.
III.Writing an apply despite having unfinished story/storiesssss
I think . . . in my opinion . . . . the way I see it.....
Applyfic are twice harder to write compare to normal stories with idol/OC Characters
If you have like 5 or more other stories that needs to be updated, can you please finish it first before starting an applyfic because in the end the applicants might end up waiting forever for your update.
VI. "THIS STORY WILL BE DELETED"
This f***ing makes my head blaze. It's perfectly fine to go "Hiatus" or "Busy", you can even mark the story "On hold" but deleting it after tons of applicants sent their applicantion is a total b***s**t.
I can't help but think that authors who that are just greedy for comments and subcribers. Making an applyfic then later saying "I don't know where this story can go anymore" or "I'm sorry I can't continue this I have no more idea" or "I'm stuck so I'll stop writing this" and many more. Some writers haven't even reached more than 10 chapters before runing out of idea. WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT?
Well that's about it . . . . Again nothing personal
I just hope that these things can stop. Applicants gave time and effort making applications not to experience this things. I respect applyfic writers a lot because what they write is not easy but some (I repeat some) of them just gets in my nerves. I know the challenge in trying to write an applyfic. I salute these writers. I just simply want to stress these problems out.
