1. How about a brief introduction of yourself?
Hi, I'm Rena, turning 20 soon :D
2. Fabulous! And what got you into fanfiction to begin with?
My roaming the internet in search for SHINee and I stumbled upon all these LJ comm which were dedicated to fanart/fanfiction. I was bored, so I read a few fics and well, I started writing about a year after.
3 I see, so what kind of fanfiction do you like to read/ write?
I basically like everything, as long as I think it's good and it holds my attention. I prefer to write with a teasing side to it. XD It always amuses me.
4. Do you tend to read the same characters/pairings? Or are you a fandom whore?
fandom whore. Though I'm not into JongKey. (except when there is girl!Jjong involved) But I read everything HyunMin related :D and other pairings when something from the title to the summary or A/N attracts me. Or when I feel like reading another pairing. lmao.
5. What is your most popular/favourite fanfic? Why do you think people/you like it?
Oh, this is hard, because. Most stories are so different from each other? D: So I can't actually chose one I like the best. Though (here it comes again) HyunMin fics will always get the number 1 spot :D
6. What is the fanfic that you've written that you're most proud of? (For readers : What is the fanfic you love but are too ashamed to admit that you like it?)
I'm not going to say I'm proud of it. But judging from the comments I think my OT3 (Jonghyun/Taemin/Minho) turned out well. And I've been reading a lot of fics lately with Female!SHINee in it, though I'm too lazy/whatever to comment Sorry for that T___T
7. Do you find writing/reading hard? What are the aspects you struggle with most?
Writing is the hardest for me, because I think my attention span is.... lacking. So I start to flail around a lot and it ends up in weird sentences and bad grammar :\
Reading is hard when it's one massive wall of text, and I just read the same line over and over again, or skip a few, and then I have to find out where I was, and that just isn't working for me. Also, obvious grammar mistakes (not that I don't make them, but yeah.)
8. Could you please share a few sentences about your favourite pairing / character? Why is it your favourite?
HYUNMIN! OMG. HOW CAN YOU. I JUST. They're so focking cute and sexy and Jonghyun is always such a dumb/horny puppy/raptor/dino. Taemin is shy or seductive, or a perfect mix of everything. I can't. *flails*
9. Are there any fanfiction trends/cliches you can't stand and are sick of?
Not that I can think of.
10. What was the first fandom you read/wrote for? Do you still like/participate in it?
First one I read was DBSK, never wrote it. Second one was SuJu, and I still read sometimes, and I wrote one heechul fic >.> which you can't find in my journal. muhahaha.
I read 2PM and big bang, and sometimes I still go there, but stop reading half-way :\
11. Name your OTPs or most frequently read/written pairings/characters and explain what it is you love to read/write about them.
HYUNMIN! omg go back to 8. before I flail all over again D:
12. What would you call your 'writing-style'? (If you are a reader: What's your favourite writing style to read?)
Do I have one? D:
IDK. I base my reading on pairing and plot and rating >.> XD teehee.
13. What do you find reading yourself the most?
I have a list of authors I always read, because I like their stories. Doesn't matter which pairing :D
and of course; HYUNMIN!
14. Name of one thing you'd LOVE to write/read but have been too shy/afraid of?
I don't think I have something? >.>
I just boldly go everywhere and maybe I still have to write some things, but yeah, it'll come.
Just scared for OT5, because I don't think I can write it T____T
15. Do you have trouble receiving/giving critism?
uhm, no? If it helps me improve my writing, I'm happy :D
Giving is a different something, because I don't know if that person likes to hear it. So I just mainly spazz over the story.
16. If you write is there anything that helps? Music? Quiet room? (For reader: Is there a certain ritual you celebrate when you read? Make a hot coffee and cuddle up in bed? Read during boring work hours?)
I always have music on, but I don't think it adds anything to it. Because I don't use it to write in a certain mood/atmosphere. Reading much the same.
17. Lastly, how would you sum up your fanfiction experiences and yourself as a writer/reader?
I like it, though it's difficult when you receive requests for follow-up stories when you have no intention for it, because it doesn't feel right. :\
Then I just don't write it. XD lmao.
not tagging. but you can steal XD
