admission 279

it annoyes me as fudge when an author did not tell the deadline and said its going to b long, but when im half away with my app, it's closed alrd. liek, WHADDAFAQ

admission 280

this is not a confession, but i'd figured it might help others. first, a certain applicant has "aphthous" (which is basically ulcers) as a dislikes. not saying ulcers are impossible to get, but the applicant uses the word always. just to clarify, ulcers can't just pop out of the blue (it can, but -- some underlying reason for it) and if it pops out all the time, it's either the character's chewing her food way too clumsily, or that her character has bad oral hygiene. because ulcers do not appear out of the blue all of the time. and another applicant states that her character has stomach -- ALL THE TIME. again, impossible. stomach ulcers are usually a one time thing- it can't just suddenly act up. and again, if you keep getting it, i would suggest a trip to the doctors. hope this was helpful- and to applicants who want to include medical illnesses (?), please do your research first.

admission 281

ironic how people go into cliques (not referring to the popular clique), claiming there will be no back stab but when you look at their applications, it's usually identical. 

admission 282

when applicants hand in their applications, they're always like "sorry for my typos", "excuse my typos". if you know you have typos, then you jolly well correct them. i mean, there's an option for you to check for typos, you just have to click on a button. it's not rocket science.

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 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...
