State your fanfiction pen name.
I am....ybakura....I also go by ybakura2400. Hi!!!! *waves*

Are you more of a reader or a writer?
I am a writer. I love writing, by myself or with a partner. I also like to read though too, but not a lot. There are a select few people who I'll ready stories from....and I like one shots more....because they're easy to get over. Chapter stories become obessession and when I'm obessed with something, nothing ever gets done.

When did you first start reading/writing fanfiction?
What? That's like asking a girl her age! XP

Alright let's see. I first got into reading fanfiction back in 2001. It was shortly after that, the early part of 2002 that I started actually writing fanfics. So that's been about 12 years. Wow it doesn't feel like it's been that long. I think I've come a long way since my early writing days of ....He nodded. "What's wrong with you?" They kissed.....yeah I wrote like that.

What’s the first fanfiction you ever read/wrote? What is it about?
The first fanfiction I ever read was a between Hiei and Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho. I can't for the life of me remember what it was about. I do remember though reading a fanfic called the Newlywed Game Show...that was fun.

The first fanfic I ever wrote was an original story between my two OCs Adrian Mont and James Jackson, high school sweet hearts. It was too. XD

What ratings do you read/write?
When I read, I usually only read the M+ stories...I'm talking the nasty NC-17 fanfics.

When I write however, I can do every rating. It just depends on my mood.

What was your first fandom?

Obviously my first fandom was Yu Yu Hakusho. My first Kpop fandom though that I wrote was either Super Junior or DBSK...but neither of them were ever published and I dont' even know of I have them anymore. 

List all the fandoms you have read/written in.
Well...you would be here for a very long time if I did that. So I'll name just a few.

Anime: Yu Yu Hakusho, Pokemon, Digimon, Fushigi Yuugi, Yu-Gi-Oh, Gravitation, Sukisho, Pilot Candidate, Inuyasha

KPOP: DBSK, Super Junior, FT Island, Nu'est, VIXX, Block B, BTOB, B1A4, EXO

What is your favorite fandom to read/write for?

Ummm.... To read, it's anything honestly. Whatever strikes my fancy.

To write, it's usually Nu'est...but lately it's anything. I'm open to learning about and writing different fandoms.

Any fandom you would like to write in?

Um...at the moment no....

What was your first ship?
My first ship was HieixKurama.  

For KPOP my first ship was Jaeho and then Yoosu (Junsu and Yoochun).

List all the pairings you have read/written in.
Once again...you would be dead if I attempted to write all that. So my top favorite pairings are here.

Read: Navi, Kyumin, Eunhae, Kangtaek

Written: Navi, Zikwon, Sunghoon, Penhyuk/Minniel (Minhyuk and Peniel), Baekren, Minron

What is your favorite pairing to read/write for?
To write.....all and to read....all...lol

Is there any pairing you refuse to read/write?
I don't really have any pairing that I dont like at the moment.

What do you think of het stories? Slash/? Femslash/Yuri?

I love het stories. I've writen them. And obviously I've written stories because the majority of the stories are those. Yuri...I don't mind writing, but I haven't done one yet. It would be interesting to try.  

What is your favorite het pairing? Favorite slash/femslash pairing?
No favorites.

What is your favorite genre? 
Romance........Is a genre? It should be. Comedy is also my favorite.

What is your least favorite genre? 
Um....action/adventure.

Any genre you would like to read/write for?
I really want to try a horror one.

List all of your favorite writers.
AngelD,  PhoenixAwakening, don_tkyungsoo, Rohsek 

Which writer inspires your own work?
Um....all and none at the same time. Does that make sense?

What story has the most impact to you, so much that you remember it all the time?
There are really just so many that I remember all the time. I think the one that I lik the most is by AngelD....she did a foot one between Minron.....iest story every!

What is website you use most to read/write fanfiction?
Right now is Asianfanfics.com. But I used to be on AFF.net, whic his Adultfanfiction.net. 

Any certain things you avoid reading/writing about?
I try to avoid gore and angst as much as possible. I like angst though, but sometimes it's too depressing. Gore sometimes...I mean like the sick hard core gore...I don't like that. If it's a horror fanfic and characters get killed, I'm cool with that.

Baby killing too....I hate that.

What do you enjoy best about fanfiction in general?
I like writing fanfiction. It's the best way I can get my ideas out of my head. But it's also like a huge relief for me. It eases all my stress away from me for the few hours I'm writing or reading.

Do you have any fanfiction pet peeves?
Yes and my biggest is bad grammar. I can let some things slide.  If there is only a few mistakes,  I can let it slide and the story can be my favorite. But...if it's like...every line...no....just no.

I understand that many people on here speak English as their second language, nothing wrong with that. But...there are many native English speaking people on here too... that could be willing to read over your fic and correct some mistakes for you.

Just a tip...past tense and present tense usually don't go in the same sentence together.

Does the number of reviews tell how good a story is?
Not really. Not a lot of people review to stories. It's really easy to read the story and move on. And that's what people do. Though as a writer I know that reviews mean a lot to us. Knowing that people like what we've written and want to read more is what drives us to keep writing the stories sometimes. Especially when we get stuck. That's why I always make it a point to try and review to a story.

How long should a chapter be?
I've taken many English courses. To me, a chapter can be as short or as long as the author wants it. It's their work, not mine. If it's short, it's short, if it's long, it's long. Usually longer chapters have more things happening. But short chapters can be just as good. I don't usually go by word count either. when I write, I go by page length. My normal page length is usually between 4-7 pages. 

On some stories it can be between 9-??? If you don't know what I'm talking about, please refer to my co-authored stories Ottokaji, Therapy, Chaos, Tumblr One Shots and Epic Kpop Fails of History

Have you ever flamed someone?
No. Even if I want to, I always remember that I don't ever want to read flames, so neither does anyone else. If I don't like the story, that's when I don't leave a comment. I just...let it go. 

Blogs on the other hand....yeah those I flame sometimes.

Have you ever been flamed?
I don't think so....I'm not really sure. Maybe so, but I usually try and think of every comment as constructive critizism on what I can do better next time.

Do you roleplay online?
Yup. Been roleplaying for 12 years as well. I love it. Though I've fallen out of it in the past year. It's been difficult lately with me finishing my Bachelors and going for my Masters to find time to keep up with roleplaying, homework, family life, social life and writing. So...I don't really do it anymore.

 
(Writers Only) 

How many published fanfictions have you written? 
Altogether, including the fanfics on different sites, I've written and published roughly about 40

Which one of your fanfictions has the most words? The most views? The most comments? The most upvotes?
Most words....have no clue!

Most views: Action! ^[Complete]

Most comments: Action! ^[Complete]

Most upvotes: Happy Birthday Baekho! ^{[M] [Complete]}

At the moment, which one of your fanfictions is your favorite/you are the most proud of? (you can include unpublished fanfictions) 
Um....right now the one I'm most proud of is Full Moon . I just recently got into EXO and I wanted to write a fanfic and this is what I came up with. It's my favorite because I'm trying so hard and people do like it! I just recently took a quiz and I'm able to tell all 12 apart~ *dances*

Do you use a beta reader?
No, I edit everything myself. 

What warnings have you used on your stories?
None for my normal fanfics. In my collabs though, I've put in warnings of silliness and AUs. Mature warnings go without fail. lol

Do reviews affect how you write in any way?
Usually. It's more like a motivater. They help give me inspiration and the motivation to write. I love reading reviews. 

What makes you happy the most as a writer?
Sharing my work with others and knowing that they like it. I work hard on writing the stories, it's always a wonderful feeling when I can finally post the chapter and let people enjoy it.

Do you generally outline your fanfictions or do you prefer to write spontaneously then revise?
It's usually spontaneous for me. And the ideas always come when I'm not near a computer. Sometimes I do make outlines...but most of the time I never stick to them. lol

Have you ever stolen something from another person’s work?
Um...not that I can specifically remember, but I probably have. It may have been a saying or a situtation, but only because I really liked it. 

What do you feel is your biggest challenge when writing?
Keeping up the inspiration and writing . Inspiration is hard sometimes, and I lose it, but it eventually comes back. Writing can be hard for me too. Though I love to write and read it, it just takes me a while. I want it to be good, to be long and not a quick one that leaves you going "That's it?" Because I've read some s that are like that. 

I feel if you're going to write a , you need to commit to it and write it all out. Every dirty detail and that can sometimes take a few days for me.

Do you have any certain ritual to do before/while/after you write?
Nope. If it's a story I haven't updated in a while, I'll re-read it to remember what was going on and where I am. But otherwise it's pull out the computer and get to work!

Do you actively advertise your story or request for reviews/upvotes?
Nope. I didn't know I could do that. XP It seems a little selfish though don't you think?

Would you ever want a trailer for a fanfiction you’ve written to be made?
YES!!!! I would love one. If anyone know someone that does it, please send them my way! I would so love to have a trail for my Action trilogy and then for my fanfic Full Moon. Please...anyone?
