TINA: How and when did you decide to be a fanfic author?
PRINCESS: When I read the fanfic Gashiyeon. It made me so inspired to write something as beautiful, and heart wrenching

TINA: What made you to sit down and actually write something?
PRINCESS: Hmmm….when I read a really nice book.

TINA: What is the first fanfic you completed?
PRINCESS: Snow Flowers.

TINA: How did you get your idea for your first fanfic?
PRINCESS: I watched a lot of sad dramas.  Like Nice Guy, I’m Sorry I Love You…I pretty much got my ideas from those plots and made it into my own thing.

TINA: Have you had any prior experience of writing before your first fanfic?
PRINCESS: Yeah…in English Class when I had to write descriptive essays

TINA: Have you ever plagued by doubts on your storyline?
PRINCESS: I usually just go with the flow and try not to doubt myself.

TINA: How did you promote your fanfic to readers?
PRINCESS: I don’t. Haha. I just use Twitter, but usually the best way to promote is to use popular tags.

TINA: Have you ever been anxious about how the readers receive your story?
PRINCESS: YASSSS. I do. But it in the end, the response is usually positive or neutral.

TINA: Thoughts on how you felt when you see the first comment on the first story? Do remember who is the first commenter?
PRINCESS: I was very happy! I was like; “Wow, did someone actually read my fanfic?”

TINA: How do you prepare yourself before writing a fanfic?
PRINCESS: I drink a LOT of tea.

TINA: Do you work out plot line or do you prefer to see where your ideas or inspiration take you?
PRINCESS: I usually write out plot points then add as I go along.

TINA: When and how does your inspiration or muse come to you?
PRINCESS: When I watch sad things. And listen to sad music.

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?
PRINCESS: Since my source of inspiration was my neighborhood, the place wasn’t weird, but since I had no bus ticket that day I had no choice but to walk home (I usually take the bus)….it was snowing and it inspired me to write something that had a snow scene in it. Snow Flowers is the title.

TINA: How much research do you do for your story?
PRINCESS: Depending on the fanfic, I usually do a lot. Like if it’s a non-au fic, I’ll do LOTS of research, or historical. But I’ve never tried historical before…although I have plans to write one.

TINA: What is the easiest part of writing?
PRINCESS: Hmm….honestly for me it’s the dialogue.

TINA: What is the hardest part of writing a story?
PRINCESS: Sentence structure. There’s so many ways to say I love you. I loved you. You loved me.

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?
PRINCESS: I almost never have writer’s block. But one time I did, when I took a hiatus from writing due to my computer breaking….I just read a lot of fanfics, and the words sort of just rushed to me.

TINA: Any useful tips on how to overcome the writer’s block?
PRINCESS: Write till your fingers bleed. Who cares if your words ? Just the idea is enough. There’s always an edit button.

TINA: Have you written any collaboration with other author’s? If yes name of the fanfic.
PRINCESS: Never. But I want to.

TINA: How do you describe your writing style? Do you think you have your own personal writing style?
PRINCESS: Very emotional. That’s what people usually say…hehehe.

TINA: How do you think you have evolved creatively throughout the years? Do you notice any change in the way you write?
PRINCESS: I write….more concisely? My prose used to be weird, and had too much words in it. Now I try to make the sentences brief, but powerful. Hope you guys noticed. Haha.

TINA: How important are readers and their comments?
PRINCESS: VERY important. Readers is what keeps the author motivated. Without readers, it’s like a plant trying to grow without water.

TINA: I have been a silent reader for few months before taking the steps to comment..
Any words for silent readers?
PRINCESS: Don’t be scared to comment. Don’t worry. None of us authors actually bite. We’re just keyboard warriors…that’s all.

TINA: Do you read other yunjae fanfics? If yes name of the fanfic you loved?
PRINCESS: YES! Current one I’m reading is Heartless and Heartfelt. And boy that made me sad.

TINA: Are you friends with any other author’s?
PRINCESS: I am, but I don’t want to name names….don’t want to leave anyone out!

TINA: How do you make your stories standout when there are heaps of other stories with similar plot lines?
PRINCESS: No fanfic plot is ‘unique’ TBH…but two stories that share the same generic plot can never be the same, regarding on characterization, and the way the story is executed.

TINA: Has anyone stole your story and published under their name?
PRINCESS: No. I don’t think my stuff is popular enough to get stolen lmao.

TINA: Thoughts on others stealing your work?
PRINCESS: Hmmmm…not really. Since no one stole yet. Hehe.

TINA: How do you manage your time between your daily activities and updating stories?
