PART 2 ALL ABOUT WRITING FANFICTIONS....

TINA: How and when did you decide to be a fanfic author?
MIMI: I’ve always loved to read fanfics ever since my craziness over anime and ff series dragged me to fanfiction.net, then with yunjae back in 2006, then SJ and in 2011 i was introduced to aff, and as i play with the story plots on my head, i told myself one day, why not post something, and thats the time i became a fanfic author

TINA: What made you to sit down and actually write something?
MIMI: Honestly, if we talk about my very first ff, before i went hiatus back in 2003, it was the anime gakuen alice, i was eager for the season two of it, that i decided to write the continuation.

TINA: What is the first fanfic you completed?
MIMI: The first fanfic that i completed was a fanfic that i wrote in my fb chatbox with my crazy friend, she was a fan of Super Junior, and that fanfic is “You!! What??!!“

TINA: How did you get your idea for your first fanfic?
MIMI: I got the idea when me and my crazy friend were talking about underwear's =.= hahaha :P

TINA: Have you had any prior experience of writing before your first fanfic?
MIMI: yes, back when i was in elementary, i got a chance to play with my aunts typewriter, i was always fascinated by it and i just typed and a mini weirdness was created, which my aunt said i got the talent, (or she’s just my aunt saying such hahahaha)

TINA: Have you ever plagued by doubts on your storyline?
MIMI: of course, i always have doubts on my own storylines as it came from my weirdness, other than that, i was never confident with my story’s, even up to this moment

TINA: How did you promote your fanfic to readers?
MIMI: honestly, i didn’t do anything, i just posted it…

TINA: Have you ever been anxious about how the readers receive your story?
MIMI: Of course

TINA: Thoughts on how you felt when you see the first comment on the first story? Do remember who is the first commenter?
MIMI: i was actually happy, someone noticed my weirdness hahaha, of course I'm not sure if this person is still active, but i’ll mention his/her username its “loveSungmin”

TINA: How do you prepare yourself before writing a fanfic?
MIMI: i listen to DBSK’s instrumental song, letting myself be flown inside the music world/imagination

TINA: Do you work out plot line or do you prefer to see where your ideas or inspiration take you?
MIMI: i prefer to see where my ideas or inspiration takes me, because i think i make more good fanfic with it? ^-^

TINA: When and how does your inspiration or muse come to you?
MIMI: through musics or when i travel ^-^

TINA: What is the weirdest place you were struck by inspiration for your fanfic? Did you write the plot?
If yes what is the title of the fanfic?
MIMI: i don't think its the weirdest, but its the most memorable place for me, a place that i got this inspiration for a fanfic and its on my grandpa’s garage, it’s really old, that it scared us sometimes, cause it might fall anytime… I actually write the plot, but the thing is, i haven't got a chance to post it, maybe when i returned from being hiatus, as for the title it’s still undecided, but hopefully i can get a proper title and post it ^-^

TINA: How much research do you do for your story?
MIMI: spending my time, using google and asking around for words that I'm looking for, to help me make my story more realistic in some way ^-^

TINA: What is the easiest part of writing?
MIMI: its when my muse is so active as in i kept writing and writing ^-^

TINA: What is the hardest part of writing a story?
MIMI: it’s when laziness visits me or writers block

TINA: The writer’s worst nightmare the dreaded writer’s block.
When is the worst writer’s block you ever had? How did you overcome it?
MIMI: i think it was during the time my grandmother died (mother’s side) i sort of lost my muse that time, i think i overcome it through music, seriously, listening to music helps ^-^

TINA: Any useful tips on how to overcome the writer’s block?
MIMI: honestly, i got two ways, first, music, i listen to instrumental musics that helps a lot in overcoming writer’s block, secondly, friends, i talk to my friends, as of now, with me being 2 years hiatus, there are two people that has currently awakened my muse, one, is my weird friend zecharu, we talk like two crazy people that pulls my muse faster, which made me write few comedy updates.
And lastly, i got this cute talking teddy bear, i see a different genre when I'm talking with this cutie, his forgetfulness is made me change yunho’s character for “eagle’s eyes” so yeah those were my ways, I'm sure this will be helpful, just try it, sometimes if its not music its the people  around you that will help ^-^

TINA: Have you written any collaboration with other author’s? If yes name of the fanfic.
MIMI: yes i did, there’s six of it actually.. its

1. Mimi and Munims Collection of One-shots
2. Marry with a real brat~?!
3. a world of happiness
4. I only love you, yunho
5. i am Pregnant!!…Not Terminally Ill!!
6. *Love a beast*

TINA: How do you describe your writing style? Do you think you have your own personal writing style?
MIMI: hmmm, yes i have my own personal writing style, aside from being too detailed, i try to make my fanfic to be understand/imagined by my readers as if they were watching a film ^-^

TINA: How do you think you have evolved creatively throughout the years? Do you notice any change in the way you write?
MIMI: firstly, i became a little poetic, wrote different genre’s aside from angst and i noticed it cause i sometimes read my fanfics, other than that, i got less typo’s? or not hahaha XDXD

TINA: How important are readers and their comments?
MIMI: 100% hehehe because the readers comment is what makes me motivated to write, continue and make more fanfics ^-^

TINA: I have been a silent reader for few months before taking the steps to comment..
Any words for silent readers?
MIMI: hope you enjoy my stories, and if there is something questionable or wrong regarding the story or grammar, feel free to pm me, so i will know ^-^

TINA: Do you read other yunjae fanfics? If yes name of the fanfic you loved?
MIMI: of course, before i became a yunjae writer, i was a crazy fanfic reader hehehe, as for the title of the fanfic that i loved its “Fan Service” by ChiiryuJung actually there’s may to mention, if i write those, it’ll take forever and this will be like a novel and I'm sure you don’t want that right? hahahaha sorry if i talk a lot XDXD

TINA: Are you friends with any other author’s?
MIMI: of course, I'm friends with lots of authors.. there’s “hauntress, ladysinner_25,MynniYumi, reika_love, am3thyst, yunjaemania purpleturtle and many more ^-^

TINA: How do you make your stories standout when there are heaps of other stories with similar plot lines?
MIMI: honestly i don't know, like i said I'm not that confident with my stories, I'm just thankful there are those people who likes my works, sorry if i didn’t answer this properly hehehe… Maybe the thing that makes my stories standout, especially my comedy ones, were the craziness or probably, most of the scenes actually happened in real life, except some exaggerate one’s ehehehe ^-^

TINA: Has anyone stole your story and published under their name?
MIMI: that I'm not sure, i hope not, cause i would feel sorry for the person, cause he/she stole from someone who is crazy? hahahaha =.= sorry if i don't make sense XDXD

TINA: Thoughts on others stealing your work?
MIMI: about that, I'm not happy, i mean stories are like the writer’s child, stealing it, means stealing the other half of that writer, i wish those people would stop, as much as they get subscribers and be acknowledged, they should remember its not from their hardwork, stealing is a crime after all… They won’t be happy and they will only earn haters… just use ur own imagination and share it instead ^-^

TINA: How do you manage your time between your daily activities and updating stories?
MIMI: as much as possible, i try to make the weekends as the time for writing and updating stories..

TINA: Do you have any favorite time of the day to write stories?
MIMI: yes, night time, since its a quiet time ^-^

TINA: your favorite genre to write?
MIMI: comedy and romance

ALL ABOUT STORIES........

TINA:Tells us about the fic “THORNS OF LOVE”. Inspiration behind the fic and how did readers received jae ending up with changmin instead of yunho?
MIMI: My inspiration to this is a pic i saw of changmin in the airport, other than that, i wrote that fanfic for my friend/ author yunjaemania, as for that, some take it nicely, as they think of what will make jaejae happy, and there were few who were asking me why it ended that way but eventually, they accepted it, at least both got their happiness hehehe

TINA:Tells us how “EAGLE EYES” came about. It has a very unique story line?
