❝ HEADACHE ›› APPLYFIC CONFESSIONS

admission 438

Other than the irrelevant statistics stated, I have to agree with 242's confession. Users here should understand that S.Korea is a very xenophobic country (they're not used to unfamiliar things, which include different skin tone, culture and uality). While it is true that they are tons of Koreans who are actually gay, lesbian or biual, they fear coming out because it is still not widely accepted in Korea. Which is why s/he felt that there was too big of a pool for applicants who do include lgbt in their applications. This is what I think s/he was trying to convey.

admission 439

there's this author who comes up with promising applyfic ideas, but the problem is that s/he hasn't started out ANY of her fics, and she has a tons of applyfics opened. she's often praised for original ideas, but no one has ever dare brought up the fact that she has way too many fics going on ! 

admission 440

some users here exclusively create a clique just so they can copy each other's work, thinking no one would know and actually stating "no back stabbing" as a "rule". how ironic can you people get ???

admission 441

Lol at the applicants who don't change anything up in their application bc they can't come on aff often, yet update on other things (song covering etc) often

Hello my dear applyfic friends!
I came here because I wanted to learn about applyfics as I just started my very first one yesterday. This story helps me very much and is very entertaining, too!
Looking forward to the next few updates!

Chapter 112: @438
I think if 242 had a different opinion than the one I felt they clearly expressed, they would speak for themselves.
Besides that, I agree with the facts you're bringing to the table. What you're saying is absolutely true.
I think it would depend on the author to write a guideline or a rule on what type of uality they are willing to accept into their story.
It's also up to the author to choose how to write the challenges the lgbt characters will face. Will they go down the more fictional route and avoid confrontations? Or will they be more realistic?
Only the author can decide.

@433
If these stories are simply creative outlets… why don't you create a non-apply fic story?
It'll save appliers the hassle of applying for a story you don't intend to write and authors who do intend to follow through, will finally get the attention they deserve.

Chapter 113: @434 I will not respect an opinion that supports the oppression of others and promotes ignorance. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject, though.

Chapter 113: 435: not really wierd, at least for me cause i do think exo is overrated
but i still love em
so why wouldn't i apply for their fics

as for others, they may just like the idea of the story so they dont mind applying even tho its exo-centric

Chapter 111: 428: i don't find that exceptionally true
i've been chosen for a quite a number of applyfics
but i don't exactly have an extended vocabulary

429: im in the same boat tho since i've been applying for over 3 years, the number difference is huge xD
but yehh i agree bout the creating apps prt ^^

Chapter 110: @424 I find your opinion to be ignorant. "Homouality is not really supported"??? Homouality is not a choice that has to be supported by anyone. Homouality is someone's ual orientation. Just like being black is someone's skin color. It just is as it is and it should be accepted and respected. It doesn't matter if someone supports it or not because they exist and that's what matters.

The reason I love fanfiction is for the originality. All you see on TV is usually heteroual couples. The same goes for books and films.
Online is the only place where writers explore relationships that differ from what is regularly shown by the media.
I'm glad that Aff and a few other sites like it, have homoual relationships. It differs from the usual hetero crap. I also appreciate the diversity AFF has been promoting lately by having applyfics accepting non-asian OC's. People from all different backgrounds exist and it should show in writing.

More than half the world is heteroual? Where do you even find the statistics? How could you even trust them, if they do exist? Don't you know how many people fear coming out?

Chapter 110: man i didn't want to comment until 424 tbh...like that's really ignorant. just because homouals etc. aren't supported in korea doesn't mean they don't exist
+ 60 years ago coming out would've been a really, really dumb idea. lying and saying you're straight on the other hand...
