Fanfic Survey

[miri_uchiha]

A/N: I've decided to do another one because it'll be a while until I update/publish a new story.
-x-

What are some of your favorite fanfics that you've written for your current fandom?
- "Afterglow" MinChun (Friend-locked)
- "In The Palm Of My Hand" Jaejoong-centric (Friend-locked)
- "I Want To Save You" MinHo, Implied!YunJae (Friend-locked)
- "Make It Count" MinChun
- "Temporary Pain" Onesided!JaeSu, Implied!MinJae
- "A Promising New Beginning" Jaejoong-centric, Implied!MinJae

Which fanfic was the hardest to write in terms of plot?
- All of them. But they weren't hard to write, it was more like the mood was difficult to get into. I have to be in a certain mood for me to effectively write the stories. I can't be happy to write a dark and depressing story or the other way around with being sad and angry to write a romantic/fluffy story. It just doesn't work. Although I can easily change my moods ... but it takes a lot of energy to bring it to a level that will match with the type of story I'm going to write.

Which fanfic has the most "you" in it and why is it so?
- I guess it would have to be "Temporary Pain" because it deals with thoughts of suicide and I've been dealing with my own depression and self-harm for many years now.

An idea that you always wanted to write but could never make it work?
- I can't think of one right now. Maybe later, I'll figure it out.

Least favorite plot/point/chapter/moment?
- I don't like most of my earlier works because they were written when I haven't fully understood the member's personalities.

Favorite plot/point/chapter/moment?
- Currently it's Chapter 14 of "The Color Of Confusion".

Favorite character(s) to write?
- It would have to be my main three: Jaejoong, Changmin, and Yoochun. I love torturing Jaejoong, exploring the childish side of Changmin, and pushing the boundaries with Yoochun.

Like with my story, "Color Of Confusion" I made Yoochun play a character who was set in his ways of getting justice to the point that it was too overwhelming for my readers to feel pity for what he was really trying to do, which was to get justice for the death of his girlfriend. The same goes for my current story, "Only You". I made him play a character that was overly nosy that it made my readers feel put off when all he wanted to do was understand his best friend. There are a few other examples of me using Yoochun to push the boundaries, but these two are the main ones.

Favorite line or lines of dialogue that you've written.
- "Would you like for them to hurt you again? I can make them hurt you again, because you deserved it." ~ Undo Your Disease
- "Lovers? I never once thought that we were lovers in the first place. You must think I'm stupid to fall in love with someone who was trained since birth to kill someone like me." ~ Blinded By Love (Friend Locked)
- "I want to see you do it. It takes a lot of guts to stare death in the face." ~ Temporary Pain
- "He doesn't need to touch me to violate me, Yunho-yah." ~ Shackled Freedom (Friend locked)
- "Can you stop being stubborn for one second and see the reality of the situation? Can you honestly tell me that you liked the way he touched you? I saw you squirm, Jaejoong. You didn't like him touching you and there's no way that you can pleasure him if you're that self-conscious of your surroundings." ~ The Color Of Confusion
- "Because it is my job and also yours to give our bodies for the sake of the government and their plan to increase our population number." ~ Only You

If you wanted to show off one of your pieces to someone, which one should it be?
- It hasn't been written yet.

What WIPs do you have going now? Are you excited about them?
- Here are the WIPs I'm working on now. (Here). I want to say that I'm excited about them, but the problem is that sometimes I don't have the time to sit down to write and other times the motivation is not there.

Are there any things that might have happened in any of your stories, but you changed them at the last minute?
- Yes, most of them were sex scenes. In some of the stories I've written, the sex scenes were initially part of the chapter/story, but I had to cut them out last minute because I couldn't go through with them. I feel guilty because I know that readers like sex scenes.

Does font matter to you when you're writing a draft?
- Somewhat? It depends on my mood.

Three favorite comments ever received on your fanfics.
- "OMG YES! Feel free to call me Unnie.. But wait... Lemme do this first... KAHDKAJHFKSJHFKJD.I am a huge fan of ur writing... n u'll be calling me Unnie... and I still can't digest that... EEEKKK..." ~ jaeminism
- "Wow this is EPIC" ~ donud
- "Late reply, I know, I read this again, because I like it~ I'm a little morbid that way, and one thing I wanted to comment on the first time was that I think it's brave to write death like that, most people write suicide or illness, but electric chair... also omg hosu is lovely, alas yunho is straight in this; though if they were together then, there would be a bit of an age gap lol
anywhoo knowing yunho's fate just completes this story for me, so thanks (^_^)v" ~ attentionseekin

Do you make up scenes at work/on the bus/at the gym? Who are the characters that pop up the most? Do you write them down?
- Not really. Usually I get an idea if I listen to a ballad song or when I'm in the shower or when I'm about to go to sleep. Usually either Jaejoong or Changmin pops into my mind. Sometimes I would write the idea down, other times I would wait until later to write it down, but by then, the idea is half gone and I get angry when that happens.
