Fanfiction Writer Meme-or whatever people call it.
I’ll be updating this meme from time to time.
As of 15 May 2013 (UTC+08:00)
Brief Intro
Dan. 22 years old, currently a young professional who does not act professionally by live-streaming, downloading music videos, and reading fanfictions at work. Just kidding. But seriously. Graduated from university more than two years ago and is currently planning to take up a master’s degree sometime in the near far future.
What fandoms have you written in?
EXO, Super Junior, Girls' Generation. Planning to write a Harry Potter one but yeah, have never gone beyond planning.
Does the number of reviews tell how good a story is? Do reviews affect how you write in any way?
Hmmm. Maybe yes maybe no. Some fics get highly sensationalized/overrated to the point that it becomes the “standard” of some readers and they tend to ignore some other fics which are at least at par or at certain times much better than the fandom canon ones. And of course reviews affect me. It’s the feedback, it tells me where I should carry on, what to stop doing and where I should improve on.
Do you use a beta?
Yes.
What warnings have you used on your fiction?
Character death is the worst so far. And gore. There’s this one NC-17 femme!slash but I did not put it in the description.
Have you ever stolen something from another person's work?
An idea. Not the whole. Well, it’s not really “stealing”, just working on the idea of other people, interpreting it in my own way.
Favorite fandom to write/read?
Right now it’s EXO. I used to write a number of Super Junior fanfictions before.
Favorite pairing?
Suho/D.O., Kris/Suho
Do you tend to write the same pairings/characters?
Yes. Most of my EXO fics are Suho/D.O. and Kris/Suho.
Favorite writer/writers?
I actually have a lot but to be very honest, I think J.K. Rowling influenced me the most.
What is your most popular fanfic and why do you think people find it so?
People know me as "Jugjugan Oppar" basically because of the Big 4 AU series which I write together with atmest.
Forget most people, what's the fanfic you've written you're most proud of?
January 12. A Suho/D.O. drama and angst drabble.
Do you find writing easy? Hard? What are the most difficult aspects of writing you struggle with?
Honestly speaking, I find it NOT easy. I have short attention span and I do not trust my writing //skills// (yet ironically, I still write). Sometimes if I lose my muse on something, I tend to leave it undone and move to another prompt. The cycle just goes like that.
Pairings you avoid?
Should I be honest OTL Suho/Chen (highlight to see)
Are there any fanfiction trends/cliches you can't stand or are just sick of?
When people make Junmyeon look so pathetic that he has to go so low just to make people like him.
Are you guilty of any of the fanfiction trends/cliches you now hate? Or any other ones?
Uhm, none. I think,
When you write, is there anything that helps? Music? Quiet room?
Quiet room. Though I have tried writing a Suho/D.O. angst while listening to Happy Birthday to Me by Epik High.
Lastly, how would you sum up your fanfiction experience and yourself as a writer?
My writing experience has been really fun, so far. It is a great experience: the amount of friends I gain, the things I learn, and the fun I get when I read and write. Though I still have serious confidence issues with my works, I still carry on which is a good thing I think? Because I did not give up when I thought of actually giving up. I enjoy writing though most of the times I still find it difficult especially when I’m at lost for proper words to put and ideas to ponder on. My friends say I have improved a lot but I am not really sure about it as I still see that I am a thousand miles away from being really good.
xxbbq shared this to me I am not sure if she finished answering this one though.
