❝ HEADACHE ›› APPLYFIC CONFESSIONS

admission 137



I understand why authors want chosen applicants to comment often and warn them when they're going on hiatus, but why many authors don't do the same when they're the ones going on hiatus?

admission 138


I want to create a guide to applyfics/applications but I'm afraid I'd be seen as arrogant.. also it's already been done before.. should I or no? 

admission 139

it's crazy hard to be "original" when applying for fics when the appliers before you take up a bunch of things for their characters or love interests. i was applying for an applyfic and i had this awesome way for my characters to meet, and then i checked another applier to find that she had the same not only do i feel uncreative but i also have to find another way to recreate something i put a lot of thought into so it doesn't seem like i'm copying them. truthfully it's hard to not make yourself a "cliche" character because the only characters that ever exist are the smart shy people, thebadass rebel, the spoiled brat, the optimistic loving one, etc. even basing things off of myself won't help because i'm cliche lol

author's note :


we've been noticing that a lot of people have been asking us about the "clique" that has been talked about a lot throughout our ask.fm. we are in no way affiliated with the clique but we do feel uncomfortable about posting any more talk of it. we understand a lot of you are just purely curious but again,  we don't want to stir up any unecessary drama yet do we want to oppress you all from the freedom to content. but please do keep in mind that this is not a hate page! thank you for your cooperation.

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...
