Fun fact about yourself that not everyone would know?
I performed at Carnegie hall once which was fun and fresh
When did you post your first piece?
I used to write for Astro first and I think my first post was in 2016 and for Astro
Why did you start writing on Tumblr?
There was a deficit of Astro writers and i felt the need to start filling that gap
Do you write fluff/angst/crack/general/smut, combo, etc? Why?
Fluff angst and suggestive on gohyuck and straight up pwp on whoredhrs because I like that separation between soft and hard hours… I tend to have more than one genre in a fic I like the complexity
Do you write OCs, X Readers, Ships…etc?
Who is your favorite person to write about?
Used to be Mark Lee, currently probably Jeno or Hyuck
What inspires you to write?
Music and validation from followers AND REVIEWS holy fuck do reviews help
What genres/AUs do you enjoy writing the most?
Slice of life type things, things that are mundane but too real to ignore
What tropes do you love, and what tropes can’t you stand?
Big fan of f2l, e2l, fwb2l… I can’t stand extra member aus and I’m not a big fan of age gaps between the characters
What do you do when you hit a rough spot creatively?
What is your favorite work and why? Your most successful?
Favorite… right now it’s my 37.5% series for Hyuck’s birthday. Most successful is disconnected, a Mark fic
What do you think makes a good story?
Imagery and heart and if it makes me feel like i’m there
What is your writing process like?
I sit down and just write… I’d never planned a fic until I started writing one that I realized was going to be over 20k words
Do you think there’s a difference between writing fanfiction vs. completely original prose?
Original prose takes more thought pertaining to characteristics and personalities of characters. With fanfiction you have character models to go off of
Would you ever repurpose a fic into a completely original story?
How much would you say audience feedback/engagement means to you?
On a scale of 1 to 10? An 8. I write want I want but I really want others to enjoy my work
What has been one of the biggest factors of your success (of any size)?
Idk if I’m successful or not but I think I’m quite genuine and fairly kind and I feel like that’s given me a decent reputation and helped me out with engagement
Do you ever feel like people have misunderstood you or your writing at times?
I’m sure they have, but it hasn’t occurred often enough for me to directly know about it
What do you hope your readers take away from your work?
I want you to feel something, anything, and feel it deeply, whether that’s happiness or sadness or anger or whatever
Do you think fanfic writers get unfairly judged?
I think the stigma is that we all write badly or we’re all delusional, neither of which are true. I would say that we get unfairly judged sometimes, yes.
Do you ever feel there are times when you’re writing for others, rather than yourself?
Whenever that has happened I’ve taken a 4-6 month hiatus to collect myself
Do your offline friends/loved ones know you write for Tumblr?
My irl best friend follows gohyuck!! Sometimes you’ll see her in my askbox even though she isn’t a kpop stan outside of BTS. My parents know but my dad is insistent that I monetize myself somehow, but that’s not going to happen. Otherwise I don’t know if my other irls know or not
What is one thing you wish you could tell your followers?
Interact more! Message me, dm me, reblog/leave tags… it goes a long way even on nonwriting posts
Do you have any advice for aspiring writers who might be too scared to put themselves out there?
Take the leap. What’s the worst that could happen?
Are there any times when you regret joining Tumblr?
Everyday because the site’s recent technical issues have me wanting to $&*&;@
Do you have any mutuals who have been particularly formative/supportive in your Tumblr journey?
Admittedly most of my mutuals are quite recent and the one mutual/very close friend of mine who comes to mind no longer writes on tumblr but her @ is @hyu-ck. She’s forgotten her password so she won’t be back anytime soon but yeah check her out
Do you think art can be a medium for change?
Humans were made to create and to change. what better way to work towards the latter than by utilizing the former?
