How about a brief introduction for yourself?
♪ Kei. :) emeraude_jade if you try to look harder. AHAHAHA.
My name is Aimee. My favorite color is blue. I’m bad at introductions, just as you can see now.
Fabulous! And what got you into fanfiction to begin with?
♪ Anime, and RL a little. haha.
Hiei and Kurama. *guffaw*
I see, so what kind of fanfiction do you like to write?
♪ It really depends. I'd like to say I write angst a lot, but I think I fail at trying to angst the charactr I'm writing. ^^;;; Romance, yes, and some comedy if I get to pull it off. I like to categorise my fanfics as General just to be safe and leave the readers to classify it. :Dv
Awww. I haven’t written anything in years. Why, why, WHY this meme? I don’t really recall. I don’t want to recall.
Do you find writing easy? Hard? What are the most difficult aspects of writing you struggle with?
♪ I find writing easy. I find writing fanfics these past two or so years difficult, because my writing skills were replaced by accounting skills. But if you ask me to write an essay, it's easier. I used to join Essay-Writing Contests before though, so maybe that's why. XD
I used to find it easy, because sometimes everything is done unconsciously. Like Kei here I used to write a lot, school paper, essay contests etc. The sad thing is that when I entered college, I’ve done nothing but term papers for four years oh and nothing but ranting on my blog. Needless to say, all creative writing went kaput. Aaaand, I said I’d give yaoi up. *sighs* And because there is no more yaoi, there’s no use writing stories anymore. Ha ha…ha. * is kicked*
Write a few sentences or so of your favorite pairing or character.
♪ Preferred? Hmm. Can I skip? ^^;;;
Go here. :)
“Kurama, there is no one without a scar in his heart. If there were someone like that, he’d be a shallow soul.” - Hiei
Oh and
“Where is Captain Jack Sparrow?? I can’t live without him!!”-Will Turner. Of course he meant leave, but I am closing my mind on this. lol.
Are there any fanfiction clichés or trends you're sick of or just can't stand?
♪ BAD/WRONG GRAMMAR. Misspelled words. Stories written with sentences that are too short (this is regarding style, though, because I think semi-colons and commas and prepositions and conjunctions were created to be used). Cliffhangers. Mary Sues (even in RPs oh darn I hate Mary Sues. >_<;;;)
Mary Sues!! XD
Are you guilty of any fanfiction clichés you hate? Or any other ones?
♪ Cliffhangers. XD So I stick to one-shots most of the time. Or really really long one-shots. XDDDD
They're mostly um...ahahaha. I don't think so because they mostly um....Okay I'm not talking. XDXDXD
What was the first fandom you wrote for, and do you still like/participate in it?
♪ No, the Gundam Wing fandom has died down I think. D: But will always have a special place in my heart. <3
Yuu Yuu Hakusho. I stopped writing fiction and all forms of literary doodles, so the possibility is really low.
Name your OTPs or most frequently written pairings/characters and explain what it is about them that you love to write.
♪ I've written a lot of CCS fics, and my OTPest OTP (LOL) is Sakura and Syaoran. XD (I like Eriol and Tomoyo and Yue and Ruby Moon for some reason. ^^;;; Touya and Yukito is CANON. XD) I love how there are many possibilities for them that Tsubasa has now ruined goddamit but it's too early to say. That, and because Syaoran is like the best male same-age-as-I character I've seen in manga/anime. :Dv
Hahaha. I agree with Kei. Touya and Yukito is canon. And they are love. K&H, 1x2 and 3x4. You can only guess how long it's been. XD XD XD I love them all because there's a kind of thrill in the discreteness of their relationships. You can explore a lot of nook and crannies, use a lot of original lines and avoid being OOC.
What would you call your writing “style”?
♪ I have no style. XD I just write when I feel like doing so. Sometimes introspection, sometimes third-person narrations, vignettes. Oh and I have a spectacular work (yes, Kei, disiilusioned!) that my terror Creative Writing professor liked very much and seriously pwned all the other stuff submitted ever in our Creative Writing class. XDDD And yes I got a flat one in CW. I'm proud of it. <3 It was written purely for academic purposes though. XD
I like one liner sentences. I think I picked it up sometime long ago, more than 8 years. But I don't know how to describe my style. Only the prolific writers can be good enough to classify. I was never there in that level. XD
Do you read other people’s fanfic? If so, what do you find yourself reading the most?
♪ Yes! That'd be awfully self-centric if I didn't. ^^;;; Right now I'm binging on JE het pairings, Shiyu and Yamaki being on the top of the list. XD
Again I'd be drawing from the past. I don't read fanfiction anymore and it's been years since. I've been reading more of non-fiction books and bibliographies etc. But I used to read yaoi fluff a lot. The time when those things were still running.
Oh I read a bit of Naruto and Gundam Destiny fanfictions sometime in college, but just a bit.
Name one thing you’d LOVE to write, but have been too afraid or shy to do.
♪ I'd like to try writing jdorama fics. Actually I'm trying out one right now. XD Oh. And I want to write JE yaoi! XD Hehehe because suddenly my slash skills have gone to zero. D:
Science Fiction. =D I love Science Fiction amd Mystery, Murder horror stories. I've jotted down ideas for such but I never got to sit down and write. Maybe when I settle down (not marry, I mean become more stable) since I have a lot of things I have to do first.
Do you have trouble taking criticism? Or worse yet, do you have the dreaded bloated ego?
♪ I'm not confident of my writing skills because there are a lot of people who are definitely better than I am. :) So I am ready for ConCrits and I try my best to correct my mistakes.
I wouldn't know? XD
When you write, is there anything that helps? Music? Quiet room?
♪ I write when I feel like it, music or no music, noisy or quiet. Although I am having a more difficult time writing now using pen and paper. XD
If I had to write love stories, I needed music. XD I've never known how love feels like, so love songs definitely help.
I like setting the mood and listening to music. I can visualize the scenes that I have to write in my head, like watching a movie. The same way I visualize what I's like to draw when I draw.
What inspires you?
♪ Everyday situations, music (and lyrics, lol), basically I'm a moody writer -- if I find something interesting and I could incorporate it in my works, then I do it. XD Even if it's just a trivial object.
Yes, I agree. The most trivial things inspire me. One of things I like and at the same time hate about myself is my sentimentality. I find meaning in everything.
I mean haha. That sucks in normal everyday interaction when of all things to strike a conversation with. I tend to start about how romantic a trash bin can be. Or something like that.
Tag some friends because they’ll hate you for it.
♪ LOL. Uhm, uhm. zephkun, mizukineige, zayish, spheksophobia.
Anyone who wants to do this meme. Lol. I think I just invited everyone to hate me.
