A Self-Interview 2016-02-16

Dabble, Ramble, & Babble

This is one of those "About the Writer" crappy posts that seem to be trending on AFF for quite a while now.  However, since I don't want to come off as too much of an attention-grabber and that this post is really a self-reflection, I'll post this randomness here instead.

C = the interviewer; M = the interviewee


C:  Thank you for procrastinating on your work in order to accept this interview tonight.

M:  Oh, no problem!  The pleasure is all mine!  

C:  Okay, let's get right down to business.  What or who brought you to AFF in the first place?  

M:  My sudden strange for a Chanyeol/Song Gayeon fanfic.  Then, the death of Winglin.net made me stay for good.

C:  I noticed that you seemed to be really good with updates when you first started at this site.  However, nowadays, it seemed you just don't give a fudge anymore.  What gives?

M:  Well, when I first started here, I just quitted my job as a senior accountant due to personal & health reasons, so I had plenty of free time.  Then, I dated around for a bit with the sudden free time that I had.  Unfortunately, nothing worked out and one guy really broke my heart so I ended up slowing down with my updates for the first time.  I mean, who would have the will & muse to write cute & fluffy romance when she's heart-broken?  That's just twisted.  Anyways, eventually, got the opportunity to start a family business that's totally different from my last job (but where my true passion lies).  Except, I'm still handling quite a bit of accounting tasks.  Asides from work (which makes me very sleep-deprived as I usually sleep at 12-1am or occasionally at 3-4am just to get up at 9am in the morning), I'm quite easily distracted with gaming, dramas, & doing online version of window-shopping.  So yea, basically why my updates are slower nowadays.

C:  Why do you write?  And, why do you write fanfics?

M:  I write because it's one of the most accessible form of creativity to me and it makes me happy.  In fact, it saved me from depression for a couple of times already.  Most of the time, I end up writing fanfics after I can't find anything to satisfy my reading craving.

C:  Are you going to try and publish a book one day?

M:  I have thought about it before (probably like most writers here), but I've come to the conclusion of just enjoying the process of writing and crafting of a story for now.

C:  Which of your stories is your favourite?

M:  That's a difficult question...I think I like most of them except for my Chanyeol/Song Gayeon stories.

C:  Oh, I see.  How come you don't like your Chanyeol/Song Gayeon stories?  What about your other stories that are your favourites?  What do you like about them?

M:  My Chanyeol/Song Gayeon stories are really lame.  Actually, I did like I Don't Care About Him/Her at one point, but I eventually got a tiny bit annoyed with towards the end of the story's journey since that was around the time I got heart-broken.  Also, interesting fact:  originally this story was inspired by a Miroku/Kikyo (from the anime/manga Inuyasha) fanfic and the original pairing of this story was supposed to be Ron Ng/Leila Tong.  With regards to what do I like about my other stories that are my favourites (not including drabbles & not in any particular order):

First & Eleventh - It's about Yamapi/Erika Toda that no Japanese TV station is giving me despite their apparent chemistry.  It's one of the rarer stories that I actually have a practical knowledge on with regards to the occupation and that it's being the focus.  First story that I'll be using to practice on my food & drink descriptions.

A Decade Later - My limit on romcom & fluff.  This story makes me smile and cringe.  It's lovely to run wild with my crazy ideas.  It should be quite obvious that I based Joongki's character on my ideal type, which I haven't met yet.  *le sigh*.

Our Third Story - LOL haven't even started on this one yet...but I think I will like it for the heart-throbbing angst romance.

Switch! Mr. Overachiever & Mr. Underachiever - My attempt at full-on bromance.  Bromance...I repeat: "B-r-o-m-a-n-c-e", not .  I have always enjoyed cop stories so why not write my own unique take on it?

Myosotis - A Single Day - Obvious crackship is obvious.  This "fudger" made me depressed (no, just normal depressed, not clinical depressed).  It's weird but I like the weirdness of this one.

An Irreversible Trade-off - An exciting experiment in which I really enjoy trolling my leading lady.

The Youth Manual - I only like two out the three one-shots that I wrote...and it's obvious which ones I like the most, because interestingly enough, my preference coincide with the mass this time.

The Wiseman, the Opportunist, and the Insane - I know that I'll like the chemistry of the three main characters of the story...I just know it.

C:  You seem to spazz a lot about non-kpop stuff and a lot C-pop stuff...are you an anti-kpop fan?  And are you from the communist party?

M:  No, I'm not anti-kpop.  In fact, I have a lot of faves  who reside in the kpop lala land (mostly kpop girl groups and actors/actresses though LOL).  However, I have to admit that I'm not as obsessed as I used to be with the kpop scene.  As for spazzing a lot of C-pop stuff.  Well, it's obvious that's what I'm obsessing over these days!  Haha...not a political fan in general (but in case of misunderstanding:  No, I'm not a communist).

C:  Okay, cut the boring crap.  What's unique or interesting about you?

M:  Er...my first job was with the army.  Does that count?  Also, I'm really good at fortune-telling (mainly birth-chart readings & some predictive astrology)...but I don't read for people nowadays because it gives me bad luck (ie. it scared off a couple of my dates because of how accurate my reading was T_____T).  So, I'm just gonna stick with the research aspect of the subject instead.

C:  Hm...need to get back to work.  Let's continue this interview some other time.

M:  Lol okay.  I was afk most of the time anyways.

 


 

Lol I know that I'm weird.  XD  Now, cross fingers & hope there aren't many stupid typos.

God dammit...so freakin' sleepy...@_____@

Chapter 4: Lmao... how did you even manage to do this? For least favorite characters, I would never, ever do this... Never (well... with the exception that I get paid real well), but never. Man, he's an airhead, so easily distracted and amused. Little Dragon Lady is, no fun, as usual... disapproving left and right. She needs a smack or two.

Chapter 2: Nothing interesting happened, though. o.O lmao... maybe because I've seen this scene sooo many times in like... every wuxia drama... were friends are drinking and testing each other's skills when they meet or meet again lol. Oh, for some reason, I don't like little dragon lady either but he's so freakin obsessed with her... she's his mom, goddess, lover, sister, like... all in one. XD
