❝ HEADACHE ›› APPLYFIC CONFESSIONS

admission 89




to the people who complain abt good plot applyfics having little to no subs: it could also be because of their layout / app layout! there's a bunch of people out there, including me, that are highly selective of stories because of that 

admission 90

 

i feel like people who make apply fics should know how to code well. not only is the writing and grammar important to consider, but also how your fic looks imho. if it's shabby vs. someone's well-presented fic, why should someone choose yours? there are tons of shops to turn to layout ask again; also there are the people who have a layout but then they dont crop their imgs accordingly so its all squished or they write too much in a fixed textbox and idk i feel like people who write applyfics should know enough about coding to not ruin what they're trying to present idk

admission 91

For those of you who rarely get any subs for your fic!! Maybe it's because of your title and how you present it in your description? i.e. I'd want to go apply for a story that has a more aesthetically-pleasing title than just a thing with lots of | and tbh i feel like there should be more ideas than just idolau. possibilities are endless!! the office style fic, a p&r dpt. au, historical kor era au, a kind of hsm au, space-explorers/enders game au, orchestra au to counteract the bandaus, policeau, cruiseau, teacherau, crimeau, fantasyau, etc etc

admission 92


when an author is very restricting when it comes to plotlines like giving specific birthdays and love interests... like might as well just make it a non applyfic since you've thought up all the details

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...
