(C: Chanyeol - J: Jay - L: Lucas)
C: Hello there. It's nice to meet you.
J: Hello, the pleasure is mine.
L: Hello! It's nice to meet you as well.
C: What’s your name and nickname?
J: I'm Jay, Nickname is J. I don't know actually, I get called a lot of weird names.
L: Haha like Magma Doodoo? And I guess I'm Lucas, some call me Cas. Some, but I don't like it cause they compare me to Cas from Supernatural.
J: Oh that angel?
L: Yeah? I think, I'm not too sure actually I always just said 'No'. Haha.
C: So what’s your age?
Both: I'm Old.
J: You're older by a year though, so you're old-er. Lol.
L: u_u" Unfortunately... You act older though.
J: Cause I'm not a dull person. Lol.
C: (looks back and forth to you two) Alright, what’s your birthplace and hometown?
L: I'm from Germany, I was born there and was raised in LA, California. East Coast Represent. Haha. u_u"
J: You're so lame, I was born in Korea, then I moved to Philippines, then moved to Canada.
L: What? Really?
J: Yeah. It's kind of a jumbled mess.
C: Do you have a wish you want to come true?
J: Lol.
L: I guess to live happily ever after? u_u"
J: That's really lame, I don't make wishes too frequently. I forget them in a few seconds so.
C: What’s your favorite group and who’s your bias?
J: Do you want to go first cause I have a lot...
L: I guess, it's not Korean. I really like Hinder. But if we're talking about Korean then SPICA; My bias is Juhyun.
J: I Was just about to say that most groups I like are American bands, but I guess Korean groups would probably be Secret? I'm not too sure. I like too much groups. But Generally Secret cause I like all the songs they release. However, Spica is slowly climbing up that.
L: You like too much things.
J: This question is hard, I can't just choose /one/.
C: Do you have any OTPs?
L: Daeeun. n_n" Taeeun and Daehyun.
J: Lol. I guess Daeeun too. I'm not too fond of OTPs.
C: What’s your favorite song?
J: Iris Goo Goo Dolls, Hands down and up. It's been my song since ever, however I do like a lot such as I'll be by Edwin Mccain and some Gavin Degraw.
L: I don't know... There's not one that stands out for me right now.
C: Ok, now how did you find AFF?
L: I roleplay a lot, so I've heard that there are roleplays on AFF from tumblr.
J: Really?
L: Yeah, that's how I started.
J: I kind of just read one of my friend's stories and got into writing as well but I stopped and made trailers but then I.. Yeah, you get the idea.
C: What’s your favorite/most recommended fan fiction and layout shop and by who?
J: This is hard... Story would probably... One of Kat's. I forgot the name but it was really nice to read.
L: Who's Kat?
J: Moony_Kat.
L: Oh, then what Layout shop?
J: I think... Maybe Contaegious' To you From Heaven, and Layout Paradise by Lynn and Liz. There's a lot please check out the recommended list on out thread. Lol. Am I allowed to say that?
L: I don't even know, but I don't read here. I read on Fanfiction.net so I don't know.
J: Oh, I like reading Levihan fics, so maybe that would be my OTP as well.
C: When did you start designing layouts and for how long have you been actively designing?
L: I think I started... Around Late October or Sept of 2012. I also took some classes to I guess a little longer than that. I no longer code but I'm trying to learn it again.
J: As for me, Early February of 2013. I also took some classes but they were mostly Java related which is programming stuff. Not so much Layout design. I think I failed that course too. Lol.
C: Which group do you like making layouts to mostly?
L: I have no idea, so I'll let Jay answer this.
J: Uh... I think Threads, more so than profile Layouts. I'm really bad at those. Wait, I don't know if the question is asking whether group as in like a genre or like group of people?
L: Just stick with what you said.
C: (sighs) Let’s just forget it. Moving on, are you planning on opening any layout shops other than Nefelibata Themes in the future?
L: Nope! Nefelibata shall live on. n_n
J: Maybe, I may branch off
L: You can't cause I'll pay you to stay.
J: How much? But in all seriousness, I want to become professional at what I do so I may branch off and start my own or if Lucas lets me I'll keep the Nefelibata stuck onto my name.
C: Any tips to overcome designer’s block?
L: I just go on tumblr and look for inspiration really.
J: Mhm, take a walk, a long one. Building structures believe it or not will help you find inspiration. I also like reading magazines just to browse around the different formatting they do with their pages. But, yeah just take a break, don't force it.
L: Do you go to parks?
J: No cause I'm lazy, I don't really follow my own tip to be quite honest. Lol.
L: So then what do you do?
J: I just sit around and play games, watch Tv until I find inspiration. Oh and I eat.
C: Do you have any advice for other layout designers here in AFF?
L: Put 100% effort into everything you do and trust me despite what you think of your work others will like it anyway. It this a bad advice?
J: Nah, I think that's what everyone should do, not just for layouts but everything they do. Also, don't stress too much in the race for time -- Hell, take your time. Coding takes a lot of work and rushing it will only result to bad outcomes. Furthermore, don't be too harsh on yourself, learn to love what you do despite how it looks cause every time you post up a new Theme it's bound to have improved even in the slightest bit. So keep striving at it, I know for a fact that everyone has the ability to improve -- take it from me. From once a HTML deficient to a guy who can now comfortably and proudly say that he knows what the difference between and 'Span' tag and a 'p' tag are.
C: Alright, thank you for your time. It was a pleasure to meet you Jay and Lucas. Hope to see you again soon.
L: Thank you for having us, it was fun to just take a break for once and just reflect I think.
J: Okay there Yoda, Thank you for having Nefelibata Themes. I hope this gives people a small snippet of our lives outside Coding and the Business Facades.
L: Moral of the Interview, Jay is forever a serious guy.
C: Lol. Ok. Have a nice day you two!
