❝ HEADACHE ›› APPLYFIC CONFESSIONS

admission 125


when people complain that fics get shut down or discontinued I think it's important you don't jump blindly into applying for a fic from an author that has discontinued fics before or has more than 1 apply fic on going, surely that's a sign that it might not get too far?

if an apply fic pretty much gives you free reign on love interest it makes me 90% more likely to want to apply- even if you aren't familiar with some groups the whole point is that it's fiction and the personality written by the applicant will be what determines that character so why limit it?

a tip for applicants ; pick your traits for your character and use them to mold sentences and the structure of your character's personality. it's a million times easier to write a personality like this than to try starting from scratch and stooping to the level of plagiarism. practice makes perfect.

sometimes i wonder about titles, because what sounds like a great title to me must not be that great to others because i barely get appliers. but those fics with lots of appliers... they don't have great titles either, at least in my opinion. like what really makes a good title good?

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.

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 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...
