But I can post what I have. HAHAHA.

Meme 6:
How about a brief introduction for yourself?

Kuma-chan. 15. Grade 10.
...EATING POCKY. BECAUSE IT OWNS MY SOUL.
And ever since anime north, where there was this skit that had Itachi holding a pocky picture like it owned his life, I couldn't help but buy a lot of boxes.

Name one thing you’d LOVE to write, but have been too afraid or shy to do.

I'd really love to write a romantic, funny story that had actual flow. And humour. And all of those other good things.
...AND A GOOD CHAPTER FIC.
...But I'm sorta bad at those things, so I'll stick to angsty one-shots.

Oh, and as I'm interested in it now, a KibaSaku. Or a ItaSaku. But I'm worried I'll ruin those pairings too.

Do you have trouble taking criticism? Or worse yet, do you have the dreaded bloated ego?

I hope I don't have it. (YOU'D TELL ME IF I HAD IT, RIGHT?) I WISH I GOT MORE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISIM. *nudgenudge* Usually only those who read in real life nitpick.
...everyone else either ignores it or goes "EEK!"

When you write, is there anything that helps? Music? Quiet room?

Music is nice. 
Except IT DISTRACTS ME. AND MAKES ME SING.

A quiet room does not exist in my house. I wish it did. Or at least, that I'd get peace to write. 
When I write, I like to get this feeling, the one I'm trying to convey with the story, and the story's overall idea and the last sentence.

From there, everything works itself out.

SO GOOD SENTENCES ARE EPICLY LOVED.

What inspires you?

Everything. Liek, when I wake up at midnight and do my daily cleaning of the room
(I'M WIERD LIKE THAT. I can only clean the house at midnight, for some reason. AND LOSE MY SLEEP THIS WAY.)

or when I watch a movie or read a sentence or see a picture. Or just think.
Then lots of plot bunnies attack.
...AND THEN LEAVE BEFORE I CAN FINISH WRITING THEM.

How would you sum up your fanfiction experiences and yourself as a writer?

I've been prodded by my friends to read fanfiction for a year before I did.
And when I joined, I ended up reading the worst stories ever.
and sadly thought they were good.
I wrote my first story over the summer. And then got attacked by lots of story ideas which just had to be written.
I think I'm slowly improving. From just angsty, I've gone to bad!humour and angsty!romance.
...and have stayed with the angsty!romance.


And what got you into fanfiction to begin with?

Well, I was reading Rurouni Kenshin, and felt incomplete with the ending.
BECAUSE I NEEDED TO READ SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE IGNORED PEOPLE.
And then just looked into fanfiction for some stories, before deciding to sell my mind and join the club.

I see. So what kind of fanfiction do you like to write?

Angst. Because, that is what I'm good at. And can actually make some sense in.
...I'm trying (TRYING!) to write fluff!romance (WHICH IS AWESOME TO READ SOMETIMES), instead of angsty!romance.
...I might fail at that.

Do you find writing easy? Hard? What are the aspects of writing you struggle most with?

Writing isn't that hard, once I have the idea and the last sentence. AND THE FEELING.
If I don't have the FEELING (god, that sounds so awkward), then the story is terrible.
...so I have a hard time getting that feeling after I lose it. Usually, I have to write the idea out immediatley so I have the idea stay with me. That is the hard part.

Write a few sentences or so of your favorite pairing or character.

Sasusaku: I love it because, EEK! First OTP I've had in Naruto. And it was so cute (I have no idea why I thought that in the first place) and sad and all those things I can think of.

EniKao (Enishi/Kaoru): He's SO MUCH BETTER THAN KENSHIN. Ok, not really. BUT I DON'T LIKE MAIN PAIRINGS USUALLY. AND THEREFORE, DO NOT LIKE KENSHIN/KAORU. And besides, kidnapping to an island so means that he was just trying to get closer to her.

Lenaleex_____: Uh...have yet to decide. But NOT ALLEN. AT ALL.

HaruhiKyo: Because she just loves to hurt him.

AthrunLacus:  Because I felt sorry for Athrun. And wanted Kira to end up with Cagalli. except she turned into his sister, WHICH TOTALLY KILLED ALL OF THE CHANCES.

Are there any fanfiction clichés or trends you're sick of or just can't stand?

Highschool stories are not too bad, but some of them are just....WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? SO...OOC. AND TERRIBLE. AND PRETENDING TO BE TYPICAL.

I hate it, though, is when the main characters have legions of fangirls/boys/both. IT GETS ANNOYING. SRSLY.

Or when the characters go through the whole "Wow!(S)he'sHOT!MUSTWOOHER/HIM!" or "I love him/her. BUT (S)HE DOESN'T. Oh wait, (s)he does. BUT IT CANNOT BE. -insert all sorts of "I can't be with my love"/OMG!DENIAL!" scenes- and then in the end, YAY! FLOWERS! WEDDING TIME."
...ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE STILL IN HIGHSCHOOL. PEOPLE DO NOT END UP TOGETHER THEIR WHOLE LIVES AFTER HS.

Are you guilty of any fanfiction? clichés you hate? Or any other ones?

Uh...I did a highschool fic.
...which I sorta just stopped. 

And...*thinks* I might have used other cliches...Like in my gift!fic for annie, "Amnesia"....
...
Other than that, I'm safe.

What was the first fandom you wrote for, and do you still like/participate in it?

I was going to write something for Rurouni Kenshin. Or Air. But I never did get around to posting it. and haven't tried again.

The first I did post for, though, is Naruto. Which I am still posting in.

Name your OTPs or most frequently written pairings/characters and explain what it is about them that you love to write.

Sasusaku: Because, they are my OTP so far. AND THEY ARE ADORABLE AND CAN BE WRITTEN IN ANYWAY.

InoShikaTema: Because...I haven't yet decided which is better between them. So I'd rather have them fight. Or write those love triangles that I hate because someone always ends up BROKEN HEARTED.

Fugaku/Kushina/Mikoto/Minato: OTP4. THEY ARE PURE AWESOME. NOTHING CAN COMPARE.

Team Seven: I like to write stories about any of the characters from here, because there are so many angsty situations I can put them in. And as mentioned before, I live off angst.

Other sad characters: Hinata, Gaara, etc. BECAUSE OF ANGST.

What would you call your writing style?

Uh...this is hard. I think it is sorta angsty, but there are numerous failings. Lots of failings, actually. And maybe I should describe more. Or try to fix the flow in. Or something like that.
...It is nothing in comparison to what I read.

Do you read other people’s fanfic? If so, what do you find yourself reading the most?

Dude, unlike all you people WHO DO NOT GO LOOKING FOR NEW ONES, I read all sorts of NEW stories.
From authors I DO NOT KNOW YET.
I love to read, so I read many stories. Don't really care about the pairing, as long as the writing is good.
(But because, after reading Rurouni Kenshi fics, I started to read SasuSaku fics, that would technically be the ones I've read the most.)



 

1. Post a comment on my journal like this: Anime rocks, and I have a huge liking to this guy in........(name an anime you really like, but it should be something both of us know^^)
2. Now, I will ask you some questions as to figure out who your guy is. Either me, or anyone else will guess, and we'll leave the answer there.
3.You're going to tell us whether it's right or wrong, OK?  Then, post those answers and questions in your journal. Alright, here goes...


Ask mea question about one of my fanfictions. It can be absolutely anything in any fic and I will tell you the honest-to-god answer. Don’t hold back. Ask about major upcoming plot points if you want to. Whatever you ask, I have to answer truthfully.

This one isn't really for me, as I have nothing really worth asking about.
...BUT THIS IS FOR ALL OF YOU READING IT, SO YOU ARE ALL TAGGED. MWAHAHAHAHA.


..what a long post. I'm sorry about that. anyways, TAG. YOU'RE ALL IT.
