Typical Storyline

My rant about aff.

It's a fact that there are lots of typical storylines here. It's getting cliche, to be honest. 

Like arranged marriage, well... check the featured fanfics here, you can see that most of them are about arranged marriage. 

Well, it doesn't mean that I don't like arranged marriage.

I mean, sure you can write anything about arranged marriage but why don't you add a little spice to it?

The type of arranged marriage that I always see-- the main characters hate each other even after they're getting married, then they find their way to love each other but a comes to ruin everything yet they still struggle to keep their marriage. NOW, THAT IS A OVERUSED PLOT. 

I've seen some good arranged marriage fics here, but I haven't read them in such a long time... 

Another one is gangster fics. OH HELL YEAH GANGSTER EXO IS HOT ((KRIS IS HOT LIKE OH MY GAWD)) but no. 

It's really hard to see good gangster fics.

Most gangster fics I see here are about gangsters who study in high school and some of them failed so hard, I'm sorry for saying this. 

If you want to write gangster fics, then please write it for real. don't make your characters look like gangster "wannabes".

Please don't. Just please..........I'm begging you.

Chapter 8: I used to go "comments are welcome :)" that sort of thing at the end of chapters at times but I realised that I would seem desperate too hahaha and I'm a pretty confident writer (I think) so I stopped lol ^^ I found myself nodding away for some reason

Chapter 8: I have an ongoing story right now which I update quite regularly. Every time I post an update; after days of editing and proofreading and finally be satisfied by it (and honestly, I would always say that, "this is the best one so far. I hope someone comments on this. Interact with me, guys!") I am very very upset for the lack of comments. Sure I do gain subscribers with each update, two at the most, but the lack of feedback still left me being insecure. Is the story okay so far? Is the pace too fast or too slow? Do they get confused with some turns of event?

But somehow this lack of responses drives me to do better in the upcoming updates. At least that's a plus side.

Like what you said, "it (the threat) makes you seem desperate." And I don't want to be like that, lol. I've stumbled upon those threats in some fics; I ended up leaving them. So that's why I stopped 'begging' (though I tried to do it subtly in my A/Ns) for readers to leave comments. And yes, I believe that someday I'll have someone commenting on this fic of mine. A comment that /really/ comments on the story; not just, "this was really good, author-nim. Thank you for sharing."

Chapter 1: Plagiarism is not cool though even in the fanfic world. Think for a second: You worked so hard on your story, you're happy with how it turned out but wait: Someone has the same story as you. The same characters, same plot, same writing, everything you worked your off for was just copied by a completely random person. I'd be disappointed if that happened to me and ask for the story to at least be removed.

I don't put copyrights on my fics, but I do disallow text selection. Just in case matters. It doesn't matter if the stories good or bad, plagiarism is not cool period.

Chapter 6: Arranged marriage is one of the rather popular story concept.
Also the male protagonist being a "kingka" that falls for the nerdy girl of the school.
