40 Questions for Fic Writers which are stolen from AsianNoodles who stole it from tumblr, Weeee

Yes I know I am the weirdest person on earth. Again, my 4D personality is just something really crucial in my life.

IDK if 'cruicial was the word, but who cares.

Anyway let's start.

 

Describe your comfort zone — a typical you-fic.

Dark. DARK. Tear-jerkers and others alike. 

Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?

Probably... psychology. BECAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS I LOVE PSYCHOLOGY.

Is there a trope you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole?

THE TYPICAL MARY SUE OR TYPICAL EXO FLUFF IN SCHOOL.

LIKE SERIOUSLY ALL THE GIRLS IN THE SCHOOL IS JUST SQUEAL WHEN THOSE 12 BOYS SQUEEZE THEIR WAY DOWN THE HALLWAY AND ABOUT THE MARY SUE OC WHO APPARENTLY HANGS AROUND WITH THE ALPHA KING 'XI' LUHAN A LOT.

How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?

Shisus knows how many. I think even RX lost her count on how many plots have popped out of my mind since they day she started liking K-pop (like... somewhere around last July.), Like I can literally think of a drabble out of the ABC song.

Don't want to spoil because I procrastinate (AND I HAVE TO OWN THEM STRAIGHT A'S FOR PT3 THIS OCTOBER), but I'm currently building a frame out of a VIXX OT6/HyukBin fic. Migh as well bring back Copy and Paste too. Since VIXX is officially a sci-fi group. Also I already planned to write a sequel to "Final" as I promised would be posted after the results for the writing contest is out... which has been missing for a year. IDEK when are the hosts going to be online again, but I can't blame them. Most of us here have family problems, right?

Share one of your strengths.

I do not have any forté when it comes to actually writing, but like I always rant on all the time, plots pop their way into my head five times a day and it annoys me.

Share one of your weaknesses.

I should say vocabulary. 

Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

"...... ...... ......"

Wrote that on the spot.

I mean IMO it means so many things like look at it from different perspectives and types of dialogues can you imagine how many things can those 18 dots speak of

Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

"...... ...... ......"

Like I said.

Which fic has been the hardest to write?

Most of my stories already have their own frame before I even posted it online so I don't really have a specifically "hard" story that I have ever written. But as I said they were only frames, so generally the fillers were my problem.

Which fic has been the easiest to write?

If you're asking the 2012 hyunntps, "Stalker". If you're asking the nowadays hyunntps, "Final".

I don't know why.

Is writing your passion or just a fun hobby?

It is my hobby to write and read and socialise with each other on this platform, but at the same time I believe I have to take writing as a serious thing... which I am always having fun with... I don't know. Passionate hobby? Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft

Is there an episode above all others that inspires you just a little bit more?

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno.

Not as I know.

What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever come across?

"Authors don't tell stories; they show them." -DeviLaugh on Why Everyone Hates Your Story or something alike I forgot IDEK if it was really DeviLaugh who said that but this really triggered me IDK how either-

What’s the worst writing advice you’ve ever come across?

Not yet.

If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would you choose?

Copy and Paste. It's not an official fic on the site (It previously was before somebody deleted it .-.) but I really love that fic. Especially when I changed the OTP from EunHae to NeoVi-HyukBin. has changed the entire plot. Oh and that OT6 VIXX/HyukBin story I meantioned it before.

If you only could write one pairing for the rest of your life, which pairing would it be?

WHY YOU ASK ME THIS QUESTION. Every OTP has their own suitable genre visually IMO so I can't really choose just ONE.

Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?

I don't really understand what this meant.

Do you use any tools, like worksheets or outlines?

I used to but then I've wasted so much I decided to just use my brain and my second memory card a.k.a RX.

Stephen King once said that his muse is a man who lives in the basement. Do you have a muse?

I don't even know what's a muse lul see that's why I said I in vocabulary.

Describe your perfect writing conditions.

Under a non-procrastinating mood.

How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?

I don't. Spelling-checks help me as I type.

Choose a passage from one of your earlier fics and edit it into your current writing style.

I'm lazy. I gotta leave for bed in about 20 minutes .-. DON'T JUDGE JUST BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO TO BED BY NINE THIRTY AT NIGHT BECAUSE I NEED SLEEP ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM ACTUALLY EXPECTED TO WAKE UP AT 5 O' CLOCK TOMORROW MORNING. I AM AN EARLY BIRD, NOT A NIGHT OWL LIKE ALL OF YOU.

If you were to revise one of your older fics from start to finish, which would it be and why?

I don't even have any completed long stories to begin with .-.

But probably "Final" and "Blue Tears of the Sea". BTS came out weird, in my opinion. It was what was in my mind, but it came out weird.

Have you ever deleted one of your published fics?

Yup. but that was before I even got any subs so it didn't really make a difference.

What do you look for in a beta?

I don't use betas. But to beta-readers out there, please don't merely check for SPELLING ERRORS. I've came across this story lately and apparently the beta-reader only checked for spelling errors of WORDS without realising they didn't even fit the sentences grammatically. So please do your job otherwise I will be picking on you for the rest of your lives.

Do you beta yourself? If so, what kind of beta are you?

I beta-ed Joan... Grammar and typos mostly.

How do you feel about collaborations?

I would prefer to know that person personally before we collaborate. Because sometimes I don't even know why am I so cautious. But productivity-wise I think collaborations are fun too, especially if both people don't even know what's the exact plot. Imagine if they just started with a chapter and they take turns to continue it without discussing the story progression with each other and it got featured. SHISUS SHALL APPROVE.

Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.

I don't have specific authors that I read, but pinboo.

PINBOO.

DER MARCHENCLUB IS UNDENIABLE I TELL YOU.

If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

I don't know. Most of the long fics (I don't want to talk about one-shots because I percieve them as drabbles instead of legit one-shots IDK why) I have came across are mostly under hiatus... and even if they are complete they are sealed with an epilogue.

Do you accept prompts?

Prompts. You mean by coming across a teacup as you sip on coffee? I don't even need prompts and it bothers me. Don't even think of envying me. IT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH.

Do you take liberties with canon or are you very strict about your fic being canon compliant?

I couldn't really comprehend what the question meant but I guess according to what I think it meant, I'm not quite certain on that.

How do you feel about ?

It's something that brings really good angst into another level of tear-jerking. Although I know that angst isn't necessarily about making readers cry. But since I prefer adulthood stories than sloppy and overcooked high school stories, really enhanced my favourite angsts.

Take that racent-not-so-recent DaeJae rated feature as an example. It's called Mercy (10 Minutes). I cried every time I read it and most of the time I only cry during my first read through.

How do you feel about crack?

You mean... how do others think of me when I crack on random pesky things and laugh like Mino trying to imitate Youngji laughing.

What are your thoughts on non-con and dub-con?

I don't really understand fan-fiction terms so LEAVE ME ALONE OAO

Would you ever kill off a canon character?

I kill anyone in my stories. I couldn't before I wrote BTS, but now I practically kill everybody in my stories. And apparently I love to kill Leo and Ravi recently. I don't know why.

Which is your favorite site to post fic?

AFF????? It's the only fan-fiction site I'm active on. Like... I have LJ but I don't even remember my account.

Talk about your current wips.

Construction of stories. Like, for example, stories with names like Copy and Paste. And recently because on the introduction to this indie horror game called Ib I'm fond on this plot I came up with lately which will probably be named "Inception". RX, long story short. I thought of the ending few hours ago.

Talk about a review that made your day.

SOMEONE SAID THAT BTS WAS THE BEST RENDITION OF LITTLE MERMAID THEY HAVE EVER READ SO FAR AND I WAS SO FKING PROUD OF MYSELF

Do you ever get rude reviews and how do you deal with them?

I don't even have enough readers to discuss my updates with me, let alone rude reviews .-.

Write an alternative ending to [Final.] (or just the summary of one).

That would be the sequel. Wouldn't like to spoil it but I guess everyone should be able to guess it by now... so see you.

Firstly, I'm your 2nd memory card?! It sounds good and bad at the same time (lol). Secondly, you didn't include the author of BP in your fav author now she's gonna take forever to update *sad sigh* Thirdly, if I were u I would sequel Mercy (10 minutes) and make it supernatural with an even sadder ending *evil smirk* Lastly, HOW CAN YOU HAVE THOUGHT OF THE ENDING ALREADY!!!!! You still need to write "Darling".

May I copy this?
I feel the need to do it just to fulfil that craving of wanting to do a survey.
