I have no idea why I'm even doing this...orz
Oh gawd..first post in this LJ is full of fail..LOLXD
1. How about a brief introduction of yourself?
Err..well, I'm someone who just recently immigrated to the USA, still trying to adapt to living in foreign land, trying to get over my loneliness from being far away from all my friends and trying to get employed. I spend most of my free time engaging in hobbies that interest me. However, I never really did master any of them because I'm the type who gets bored easily. orz But amongst all the hobbies that I've tried, the only thing I never did tire of was watching anime and reading manga. =D
So yeah, tl;dr: I'm an avid anime and manga fan. >w<
2. Fabulous! And what got you into fanfiction to begin with?
The first time I came across fanfiction was when I was searching for summaries for the manga of Rurouni Kenshin(10yo). I clicked on this site with lots of summaries in it, and thinking they were for the manga, I read them...only to be scarred with the mental image of Kenshin getting ehem..hot and intimate with Kaoru. LOL It wasn't even that bad, but hey! I was ten by then! pffft
After that, I avoided fanfiction like the plague. I got reintroduced to it though, when I became obsessed with Hunter X Hunter (13yo). Consequently, that also got me into shounen-ai. (Although Card Captor Sakura introduced me to shounen-ai waaaaay before already..like around 6yo. XD) I progressed to yaoi when Shaman King came into my life (15yo). My first OTP was HoroRen, thus the obsession with love-hate relationships! XD
3. I see, so what kind of fanfiction do you like to write?
Despite loving fanfiction like crazy...I never did write any..as in ZERO, NADA! orz I have neither the confidence nor skills to write one. /fail
4. Do you tend to write the same pairings/characters? Or are you a fandom whore?
I told you, I DON'T WRITE! ;A; Whut!? Why am I doing this meme then? Because I just can't refuse that certain someone who tagged me in her LJ. orz
Anyway, fandom whore? Yup! That's me! XD I can't ship only one single pairing at all. Although I do tend to have an ultimate OTP, I still enjoy shipping other pairings~ I also like interchanging the roles between the characters in that pairing! >w<
5. What is your most popular fanfic and why do you think people like it so?
;A; I'm just some stranger passing through..
6. Forget other people, what is the fanfiction you're most proud of?
Don't mind me..orz
7. Do you find writing easy? Hard? What are the most difficult aspects of writing you struggle with?
WRITING IS FRIGGING HARD!!! That's why I never bothered with it. LOLXD You gotta have passion for writing, a wide expanse of vocabulary and PLOTBUNNIES jumping around in your head! Which sadly, I all have a deficit in..orz So no writing for me~~ /fail
8. Write a few sentences about your favorite pairing or character.
I think this is my favorite question! XD
Favorite pairing as of now is 4213! They just fit right in with all my fetishes~ (love?)-hate relationship, lightXdark-haired and interchangeable postions to name a few. >w< They're a really flexible pairing! You can go psycho, angst, crack and even fluff! Although canonically, I don't think they're possible..But well, that's what fandom's for! XD
As for favorite character, IZAYA RABU! IZAYA GA SUKI! AISHITERU!! LOL
Why? Because he's such a complex character! You never know what goes on in that little pretty head of his~~ <3
9. Are there any fanfiction cliches/trends that you can't stand or you're just sick of?
I read almost anything! From tooth-rottingly sweet fluff down to scary dark psycho fics or heartbreakingly depressing tragedy. However, there's just one thing I REALLY REALLY CAN'T STAND! And that's pairing an OC with a character!! I mean, there's a lot of interesting characters in the story! Why bother pairing them with an OC!! ;A; For all I care, why not just write an original story? It'll probably be better. orz /end ramble
10. Are you guilty of any of the fanfiction cliche/trends? Or any other ones?
NOPE~ NO FICS WRITTEN! XD
11. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
LOL Seriously loving these questions..Less paragraphs to make! XD
12. Name your OTPs or most frequently written pairings/characters and explain what it is about them you love to write.
ULTIMATE OTP IS SHIZUIZA!! Although I don't write, I just love almost eveything and anything with them in it~~ They just sucked me into their little fandom blackhole and probably won't be releasing me anytime soon. LOL
Previous OTPs were HoroRen, DarkKrad, RoyEd (although I don't like shota..hmm), RaitoL, ZoroSanji and the list goes on..see a trend there? pfffftt
13. What would you call your "writing style"?
XDDDDDDDDD
14. Do you read other people's fanfic?
Pfffftt!! Of course!!! That's what I do! I DON"T WRITE! I READ!! XD In my current fandom, I read almost everything! Almost all pairings! >w< Sadly, I can't seem to bring myself to read IzaKida..;A; I just..feel too bad for Kida..orz That, and I WANT SPUNKY MASAOMI!! Most IzaKida fics have angsty Masaomi..>A< But if there's snarky perv Izaya X spunky Masaomi (>_> I'm looking at you sushes), then I'll most probably read it! XD
15. Name ONE thing you'd love to write but have been too afraid or shy to do so.
I am too afraid to write anything!! ;A;
16. Do you have trouble taking criticism? Or worse yet, do you have the bloated ego?
Ego? What ego? LOL I have complete lack of self-confidence. ;A; Thus, the lurking and stalking. THAT, and I'm just lazy..LOL Oh, but I do love hearing constructive criticism for my sucky art though~ >w<
17. When you write, is there anything that helps? Music? Quiet room?
Hmm..I need complete silence when I'm writing anything, be it a paper, a review for doujins or just making emails..because I have ADD and get easily distracted. LOLXD
18. What inspires you?
I don't write...but reading fanfics and seeing other art do inspire me to draw something~ >w<
19. Lastly, how would you sum up your fanfiction experiences and yourself as a writer?
I dunno about writing..but reading fanfics was, is and probably will always be a fun experience! It's like a rollercoaster ride~ I'm not one to easily tear up (didn't even cry at anyone's funeral), but reading fanfics made me do just that! It also made me laugh during bad days~ >w<
20. Tag some friends, because they'll hate you for it.
I..I have no one to tag.. ;A; I have only one friend who writes fanfics!! And she's the one who made me do this!!! orz /wallows in my emo corner
sushes, are you happy now!? You just made me answer this meme and post my first entry! LOLXD It's like killing two birds with one stone.. pffft! <3
