Giveaways

There are many users who make a giveaway. Some are just like "I'll give you karma points for fun if you join this giveaway". But the others are actually contests, not just giving karma points away randomly. Why does they need to tag it as a 'giveaway'? Not all, but some of it. Some really give away the karma points, like an award or a game. Maybe they should tag it as 'karmaforwinners' or 'winkarmapoints'. 

Contest (1,078 contest fanfics)

Giveaway (77 giveaway fanfics)

 

Ads on wall

More shops, then more types of them, and then there is advertisement shops. There you can request for ads for your stories. They can make blog posts, subscribe your story, and the most popular way is to advertise your story from wall to wall. Interested people will go to the link and maybe request at the same shop. But most people feels annoyed by that and delete the advertisement. Especially the famous authors, because more people know them and they are more vulnerable to the ads. Maybe the people should check first if the person hate advertisements or not. So then they wouldn't end up being blocked.

 

Congratulations to dbskgirl4ever

I know I'm a day late but this is still relevant. She is the best author in Asianfanfics, ever. I've been looking at her stories and most of them are featured. Boys,Boys,Boys had gained many readers so she make a sequel. I have been waiting for the sequel, Boys, Boys, Boys II: Boy vs. Friend, to be featured. As time passedthe story gain more and more love and finally got featured. I've tried to interview her but she rejected, she said that she don't like being interviewed. By interviewing her will make both of us become more known, but we must respect others choice. So I decided to interview other famous authors, and it is still pending. So stay tuned for the '2nd Special Interviews: A-list Authors'

A boy is lucky if he is the first love of a girl. A girl is even luckier if she is the last love of a boy.

 

Interview with a unique author

This author had gained many readers and have featured stories, but I think she should receive more love from the community. I represent to you, RedLolita

Q1: Hi, what is the meaning of your username?

A: My favourite colour is red and I like the song Lolita by TheVeronicas so that sums up my username!

 

Q2: What are your favourite kpop groups besides Exo?

A: I used to be a huge fan of After School. I still like them now but not as much as Exo. I listen a lot to Big Bang, Sistar, DBSK, Beast, EXID and Vixx too.

 

Q3: Have you been interviewed before?

A: Other than the Behind-the-scenes section that I conduct with my viewers after every chapter of my story, this is my first time being interviewed by someone else! (:

 

Q4: The bts thing sounds cool. How do you meet Asianfanfics?

A: I was searching for Kai's photo when the link brought me here. And I began reading the fics and got hooked ever since.

 

Q5: Do you have anything to say to the new authors out there?

A: Don't give up when you have very little comments or subscribers. No one starts off as great so hang on!

Chapter 15: Hi there. Can I say something about the whole ads things first? You say yourself that you should check if people want advertisements on their wall or not. Mine says 'No adds please' but you still sent me a direct advertisement for your shop. No matter how you put the layout, in the end, it is still an advertisement. So perhaps it would be wise to follow your own advice too. Also: I owned an advertisement shop and people were able to buy upvotes. Let me defend that rather easily and logically: Not all authors who buy votes or subs actually are sensitive about numbers or being the best author out there. Sometimes you have just started something and you just need that little push to get things going. Once you bought maybe 5 upvotes and 10 subscribers your fanfic will appear more 'liked' at first, so people will read it. In fact: People often reject trying out a story that hasn't got much subs/votes/views. That is just the way people work in general. They will always go for what is popular and by once trying out buying some votes or subs cannot harm at all. You could always request them to un-vote or unsubscribe later on. Some of my requesters did this and remained their honesty.

Secondly: What a great idea you got here to make some sort of news report fic, which is concentrated on AFF. It is unique and I haven't seen it so far. Some advice, though: I would seriously work on a better layout, so it looks less chaotic. Using colored text often helps the reader to navigate within the wall of gray regular text. I also do really like the fact that you work with rather famous authors or just give them a big thumbs up/thank you. You're really doing a great thing here. We should cherish AFF's best writers, so they stay.
