I Got Interviewed!
Hello, dearest readers,
I had the honor of being interviewed by @psychosupernatural!
You may have seen the ask that was sent to my inbox.
After a mini-freak out for being asked in the first place, I agreed.
They also permitted me to share the interview with my readers!
I don't want to sound self-centered by sharing this with you.
I just thought that if someone was interested in knowing (even if it was for school), maybe others might want to know as well.
So here you go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What’s your motivation for writing fanfiction?
I started my first story, ‘Breaking and Entering,’ for myself because it was the first winter after COVID-19 broke out, and the world was shut off from itself. Then, after reading fanfics for the first time, I started writing my second story (Reciprocal Synergy) and stopped after no one paid any attention to it when I posted it on Tumblr and AO3. After reading a fantastic story by @yoongiofmine, I was inspired to write American Mate—A BTS Hybrid Playmate AU. I was initially going to keep it to myself because the online world had already shot down one of my stories, so why do it again? My oldest child (15 years old) said, “So what? Do it for yourself.” And I did.
I tell newer or struggling veteran writers, “Write for yourself. Enjoy what you wrote. Somewhere out there, someone else will match your freak. Someone else will want to escape into your world. Someone else needs to feel that support, even from a character in a story on their electronic device.” At this point, it's like an inner mantra.
How have you learned to write good fanfiction?
First, it is still being determined whether my fanfiction is good. Like all works of art and creativity, what I do may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The fanfic that I write takes a lot of time to cultivate. Most of my time is spent researching anything from sciences and behaviors to interviews and documentaries. The ability to tie facts into my works is what I think sets me into a category that draws in others because it makes it subconsciously believable despite the characters being werewolves, hybrids, aliens, or soul mates with abilities. I also use my American Sign Language and Psychology education to help build these miniature universes. When I write, I consider the characters' psychological aspects, internal processes, and non-verbal communication. For works that also include animalistic tendencies, I research that to the furthest of my ability. I have done it so frequently that my city's large animal and exotic animal veterinarian has helped me several times. This can make the writing good if the readers want to read it.
How do you judge the quality of your fics?
Quality requires consistency and continuity. If side notes, footnotes, or character reference sheets are not used to ensure a solid foundation in the story, the reader will be confused. That confusion, that difficulty to read fluidly, is where the quality lies. I could have a fantastic idea, but if it is not easy to read, no one will read it. As for the wording, grammar, and the like, I practically failed every English class. My degrees are very much fact-based research papers written in MLA and APA. Due to my horrible history with writing, I never had the guts to take something like a creative writing course, although I have had a poem published worldwide. When I read something I have written, if it pulls me back into the story and makes me want to read on and keep writing, it has good enough quality to show others.
How did you / do you learn the “rules” and conventions of fanfiction?
I don’t think I have to be honest. There are common boundaries of respect, such as placing warnings, indicating where adult themes start and end, and noting where influences have come from. As a writer, I follow these out of a desire not to shock or trigger my reader and to support other fanfic writers. I have been the reader who started reading an out-of-this-world fanfic and was thrown into a panic attack because there was no warning. I ended up messaging that writer and letting them know they have a trigger in their story. That writer was shocked that the story was triggering. When I explained that it was gracing the edge of being a particular type of fanfic, yandere, and how it was doing that, the writer understood and updated the warnings. Unfortunately, fanfics do not have a predetermined set of rules that everyone is made aware of before starting their fanfic writing journey. It is a game of mimicking with individualizations sprinkled in. Also, as a writer, you have to be able to take in the thoughts of your readers and make adjustments without taking offense to that feedback.
Do you tend to stick to only one fandom, or do you migrate from one fandom to another?
I migrate fandoms. My first fanfic was ‘Breaking and Entering,’ an original Young Adult high school werewolf story. I started writing it because I was bored while having COVID. One of my most popular fanfics, American Mate, was inspired oddly. I read a BTS fanfic written by Yoongieofmine. The Playmate AU aspect of her story caught my attention because BTS is not among the top K–pop groups I follow. However, that story made my mind run with the thoughts of combining Playmates with Hybrids. I ended up writing Yoongieofmine and asking permission to write ‘American Mate.’ I have also written for other K-pop groups, Ateez and Stray Kids, and a Thai Boy-Love Drama, KinnPorsche.
What sort of relationship exists between you as a writer and the characters that you create on the page?
Interesting question, to be honest or not… All of my stories, except the werewolf ‘Breaking and Entering’ story, are written in a y/n style, meaning the main character is the reader. These stories are written to pull the reader into them by negating a leading character name and replacing it with the notation y/n = your name. I have to put myself in that leading character role to write these stories. I fully understand that the stories are just that– stories. None of what is written is in any way possible. Still, while the reader or I read the story, I do my best to immerse myself in the place of the leading character and have those relationships, experiences, trials, and fears with the other characters. Each chapter that is written starts as a dream or fantasy that I have personally had. Those give me an outline to work with, but I have had the experience where I am so into and connected with the characters that when I stop writing, I think, “wait, what happened?” So, I have to go back to read over what I have written, and then it's a moment of “Oh!! That is what I wrote. Well, that came out of nowhere.” Simply, I have a connection with them because I don’t think I could write them if I didn’t; however, I am not delusional enough to think they are anything more than words on a page.

#spent the past few days totally focused on preparing a job application#managed to submit it at midday shortly before the deadline#late this afternoon I took a shower and afterwards I saw I had a missed call + voicemail asking me to call back#but by then the office was closed so I will have to call back in the morning#they must be offering an interview right?#they wouldn't phone me to say my application was rejected#haven't had an interview or updated my CV in 10 years so I am freaking out slightly#last week I asked for a preliminary tour of the workplace and met the boss informally#she chatted to me about the job and my experience for like 50 mins so that is also promising?#argh I don't know it's all a bit daunting but sometimes you just have to be brave and try something

me seeing all of the MD discourse once again cursing out Gil Chae and calling her weak/a bitch for still turning down Jang Hyun's proposal before he left with the Crown Prince:
#tv: my dearest#my dearest#mbc my dearest#namgoong min#nam goong min#ahn eun jin#kdrama#local gay watches My Dearest (and is subsequently f*cked up).txt#local gay watches k-dramas.txt#i still haven't caught up but rn ik it's not as bad as everyone thinks it is. y'all asked for angst you got it why are you freaking tf out#pls. all i needed to know was that Ryang Eum was alive (he is). we can deal with the consequences of his actions later but guess what#people. do. dumb and stupid sh*t. pay for that sh*t. realize it wasn't a good idea. he probably realized that when sh*t went down#but ffs where are y'all's reading comprehension where did it go#she did what she had to do to survive. if it was ep 2!Gil Chae before the war (and minus Yeon Joon) if she had her eye on Jang Hyun#she would have thrown herself at him. f*ck the officer and f*ck everyone else that's her man!!!!!#we're in ep 10. she has been through hell and back. her priority rn is not romance her priority is providing for everyone else#tl;dr i will defend Gil Chae with my life. Ryang Eum is my son so i will also defend him but he needs some sense knocked into him#and hopefully a way to sort things out with Jang Hyun bc that. that will be the breakup that ruins me officially not our OTP#i came in expecting that as a possibility sksksksk#anyway RyangHyun fic coming soon-ish. at least it'll tide me over until October rip

epic win at old lady group today: the group leader was struggling with a tangled up loose skein of yarn, so i scampered over to the other end of the table where was sitting and offered to untangle it and wind it into a centre-pull yarn bal for her since I remembered how to do it from just the other day fjdkdl and she was very confused why i would WANT to do that but she let me :3

Note to self: a large meal is a very effective sedative for hyperactive cats.
#not something i can do regularly obviously#but Mau was driving me up the wall ever since I brought them inside and closed the windows for the evening#he feels it's his god-given right to gallivant after dark even though i keep dragging his ass inside after every jail break#and he freaks out after 20 mins alone in the garden anyway#Moo also disgraced himself by throwing up his lunch all over my room‚ escaping while I was cleaning#and then finding himself stuck up another fencepost on the perimeter wall and mewling pathetically for me to rescue him#i went back to the house to fetch a ladder again only to find monsieur dragging his sorry butt up the steps behind me after all#maybe I do coddle them a bit too much#since keeping them inside all day is a flat impossibility in this house#they should have some degree of self-sufficiency so their fool asses can come home if they do prowl#i'm hoping that keeping them near home long enough will discourage them wandering too far even if they do go beyond the perimeter#for all dogs were exhausting i never had to worry about this shit with them#just close a door and a gate and boom. problem solved#cats though. fuckin Houdini-ass mfers#knee of huss#Méka Mau Moo#cat mom problems

I was so prepared for this morning
#i went on my first 15 min break and one of my managers got a big gash on her hand#my other manager was freaking out and i remembered i had some soft bandages in my bag#bc i always wanna be ready for anything#so i went and grabbed it and grabbed a gauze pad and wrapped it up for her#and thankfully my work had gauze tape bc i didnt#yet my work doesnt have gauze???#well anyway#so i bandaged her up and my first break is already half over#i was called paranoid by all of my coworkers at my old jobs. ALWAYS. For being prepared#well whose laughing now#...ok no not me that bitch looked painful#but i came in clutch w that bandage#i think she needs to see a doctor but my word isnt good enough#it doesnt look like it needs stitches but speaking from experience it looks like it will scar
