Are you more of a reader or a writer?
Even thought I try to balance it, I'm definitely more of a reader. I know how a reader feels when he asks for an update so I try to hurry up and finishe updates as soon as possible.
When did you first start reading/writing fanfiction?
I first started reading fanfiction around the end of 2012 and first started writing myself January 2013. My first fic and still ongoing is "It all begins with a prank???" That's why it's dear to my heart
What’s the first fanfiction you ever read/wrote? What is it about?
The first fanfiction I ever read was 'Lost in Love'. It was a Infinite highschool AU and it was mainly about Woogyu with side Myungyeol and Yadong. It was about Sunggyu who become a cripple after an attack of Woohyun's fanclub. Woohyun didn't know of that but was in Love with Sunggyu and tried anything to make it up.
My first fanfic 'It all begins with a prank???" is a a highschool AU as well with Myungyeol, Woogyu, Yadong and Bangjong. It's basically about me trying to get them together and everything you can imagibe actually happens there, from kidnpping to arranged marriages. Basically it's just my first work which I started without any plot and now it somehow got somewhere XD
What ratings do you read/write?
I mostly write fluff but now started with angst as well. What I read? Of course fluff but damn, the strongest impression is left by action and angsty fics. Though I love action and fantasy the most I guess (with a lot of romance)
What was your first fandom?
First fandom? The first group I actually really looked into was FT Island, then Ukiss and then I finally started really obsessing about Shinee thought I met Inifnite and everything else was only 2nd place XD
List all the fandoms you have read/written in.
I actually write mostly about Infinite, now Vixx and Suju. Fanfics I read... Honestly I read almost every boy group fanfiction as long as it's not OC or You fics (no hetero XD) Momentanly I'm obsessed with Yunjae
What is your favorite fandom to read/write for?
Infinite of course, thought I'm totally getting into DBSK but I only read until now. If there is a chance I will maybe write one myself in the future (far, far away)
Any fandom you would like to write in?
DBSK; BTS; and EXO maybe
What was your first ship?
Jonkey thought the first fic I read was about Woogyu
List all the pairings you have read/written in.
I've read almost everything: Woogyu; Myungyeol, Yadong, Yunjae, Hunhan, taoris, baekyeol, kaisoo, sulay, xiuchen, Bts pairing as well, BAP;Got7, Keo, Kyumin, Kyuwook and a lot more. Almost every group and every pairing (But I have solid pairings, which means I only ship them with that one person but Kyuwook is an expectation as I ship it only in one fic as a side-pairing)
I've written; Woogyu, Myungyeol, Yadong, Bangjong, Keo, Kyusung, SiwonXHangeng, YeolJong, Myungjong, and that's it I guess
What is your favorite pairing to read/write for?
Woogyu!!!!
Thought right now I enjoy Yunjae more (to read)
Is there any pairing you refuse to read/write?
I avoid everything that isn't sipped by me: Myungjong or so but I did write it because someone requested it...
I normally only read the parings I ship, others are avoided.
What do you think of het stories? Slash/? Femslash/Yuri?
I love Slash/, don't really read Femslash, not because it's disgusting or anything but just because I don't actually ship and femele groups nor am I really a fan of any...
I don't like reading het stories, not my style XD
What is your favorite genre?
ACTION
What is your least favorite genre?
abuse
Any genre you would like to read/write for?
ANGST ANGST ANGST I want to write a perfect angst story once. I read a lot and it's amazing how through simple words you can make the reader into a sobbing mess. It's my ultimate goal to be able to do that. I read it a lot and I adore the readers that make me cry and there is this one story which I love, it made me cry so hard, until now I am still not able to read it a second time, afraid of the emotions!!! I'm so envious of authors who manage that! RESPECT MAN!!!!
What I want to read, an amazing Action filled with Romance and fluff. Something like ARENA OR EXPECTATIONS!!! (MY FAV FIC)
List all of your favorite writers.
First my absolute FAV:
And a lot more but I'm too lazy to go search for their names XD Just ask me if you want to know more XD
Which writer inspires your own work?
Howling made me want to write my first fic but actually all of the above.
What story has the most impact to you, so much that you remember it all the time?
erased yesterdays Yes, it's the story that made me cry and which I can't read again

What is website you use most to read/write fanfiction?
AFF! to write and read but lately I moved to Live.journal to read as well and the stories there are °Q° AMAZING
Any certain things you avoid reading/writing about?
Abuse, i just... can't. Nope, don't like it.
What do you enjoy best about fanfiction in general?
I guess I love that it's somehow connected to something I'm interested it, in this case Kpop. The person could be totally different than the real person but I would start reading it because it's familiar but thn at some point it turns to an character for itself and not the one that really excists. I love how the character takes a different form each time but still how it's so similar in each fic (kinda)
Do you have any fanfiction pet peeves?
No comment. I make mistakes myself, it's not my place to say anything XD
How long should a chapter be?
Whatever is fine as long as it brings the plot forward somehow
Have you ever flamed someone?
Nope, it's not my place to do that when an author put so much work into writing it.
Have you ever been flamed?
Sadly yes... someone didn't like my Myungsoo in 'It all begins with a prank???' And yeah... I shall forget about it XD (Though I think Myungsoo is really cute in there)
Do you roleplay online?
Nope
(Writers Only)
How many published fanfictions have you written?
10, 4 of those are oneshots thought
Which one of your fanfictions has the most words? The most views? The most comments? The most upvotes? How many?
It all begins with a prank ???
41 upotes, 353 Subscriber, 30130 views, 651 comments and idk how many words but probably the most.
At the moment, which one of your fanfictions is your favorite/you are the most proud of? (you can include unpublished fanfictions)
Hmm.... I guess the one I'm most proud of is It all begins with a prank ??? but I'm totally consumed into the plot of Abandoned Wings and I think it will be amazing once I write it out, so that's my fav for now.
Out of all characters you have written, which one do you feel you identify the most with?
I... not one of them. I'm nothing like any character I wrote out thought maybe just a little bit like Sunggyu in my story Insecurities. But otherwise I try to write nothing that's related to me...
Do you use beta reader?
Yep, for one story and I'm happy I have her <3
What warnings have you used on your stories?
I will use Rated M the first time in the next Chapter of Abandoned Wings but other than that none...
Do reviews affect how you write in any way?
Sadly yes... I think a lot about it and try to correct it but end up not writing at all afterwards, being to consumed in not wanting to make the same mistakes again...
What makes you happy the most as a writer?
When I manage to awake emotions in my reader. Be it a smile or tears. I would love to know if I manage that somehow. And if they tell me that I did, I would be the happiest writer out there.
Do you generally outline your fanfictions or do you prefer to write spontaneously then revise?
I prefere to write spontaneously thought I have two fics which are totally planned till the end and I myself am actually fangirling about Abandoned Wings plot because yes, planned into every detail and i'm proud I managed that XD
Have you ever stolen something from another person’s work?
Yes, a pairing XD I stole Bangjong from Spiritfly XD
What do you feel is your biggest challenge when writing?
To actually concentrate long enough to write anything. No..actually it's to find the right music to write
Do you have any certain ritual to do before/while/after you write?
Hearing music while I write, shutting my laptop after writing because I'm exhausted and playing games.
Do you actively advertise your story or request for reviews/upvotes?
I don't really advertise my stories, not even in my own stories, like check out my new story or something. Maybe I mentioned them if neccessary like here but not to advertise them or yes? XD But at the end of each chapter I ask for comments and maybe upvotes. Who wouldn't love them.
About reviews I did request for Gyu the hamster but otherwise nope
Would you ever want a trailer for a fanfiction you’ve written to be made?
Of course and that's why I request for almost every fic of mine. I enjoy them and I love them! They are amazing and I have them XD It's like an addiction.
If you made it this far, thanks XD
