that's totally reasonable tho! don't feel dumb. maybe word it like "if you want to include a sex scene i prefer _____"

fyi i don't think i've ever read so much fic in my life

#30, taemin/minho

(Anonymous) 2013-09-12 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
an interesting and darker take on the original story. i enjoyed the writing and the characterization of minho, as well as the more subtle characterization of taemin. i would like to assure the author, whoever they are, that their fic is not inferior to the original. i liked the difference in the remixer's style and how they chose to have the same basic plot play out. my only point of criticism would be the title because trying to incorporate calvino is a huge risk; either it works or it comes out incomprehensible, and in this case it was the latter.

#31, lay/lu han

a very cute, simple fic. i don't really see how this is angsty or pensive like the remixer described in the notes. i hope people learn that they really ought not to say so much in the notes during this challenge, seriously. imo this was a nice improvement and expansion of the original. nice, but there's not much to say about it.

#32, infinite

the writing was kind of a mess. i could tell the remixer was going for something funny, and some of the moments had the potential to be funny. i don't know, i don't have much to say about this one?

fic: i haven't read much fic at all recently ...my fandoms are pretty dried up
books: the first confessor by terry goodkind

I get feeling kinda awkward about that but tbh when I fill a prompt I like it when people spell out specifically what they want. half the time I'm afraid of replying prompts because I'm worried about disappointing the op.

...that and I hate writing penetrative sex so if someone specifically asked for other things that'd actually take the pressure off, at least for me personally. sometimes I feel like writers put in the anal just because it's expected.

fic: ao3 kfic, snkkink fills
books: as i lay dying, travel guides

(Anonymous) 2013-09-12 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
opening minds to variation is a good point. maybe people default to writing anal because it's the most common type of porn they see? maybe they just assume that's what most people want?

(Anonymous) 2013-09-12 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
this is really heartbreaking because with how horribly jealous stans can lash out against girls who get close to their oppars i wouldn't be surprised at all if this happened

that's really sweet that you were so moved by the gesture of the boy idol and thinking about it makes me feel a bit better ;;;

+1

most of the time when an exchange fic includes an authors note it's usually very unecessary

you're right, i shall do this! (i'm too concerned with my prompts looking "cool" rather than just saying what it is i want. i can spend weeks trying to figure out the right way to put it lmao i shall stop this)

(Anonymous) 2013-09-12 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
oh i think i'm a rather selfish filler in that aspect, i like writing for someone and making them happy but ultimately i'm going to write something i enjoy writing. don't feel pressured to write things you dont want to write anon be more selfish >:/ but ia, i also prefer it when ppl are clear with what they want so i will try to be more clear from now on /o\

(Anonymous) 2013-09-12 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
i definitely think it can be like this. especially for younger fans entering fan/ficdom i think it's easy to just accept it as default and so it goes on.

sort of ot but i think it's partially a heteronormativity thing too, like for some people a dick has to go into an orifice between the legs for it to be considered "real sex" and i just so smh at that

oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not crazy selfless about writing, obviously I won't try to write something if it doesn't interest me but actually posting a response sometimes I do wonder how well I'm satisfying a prompter. and there's also this kind of 'everything is better with porn' attitude floating around while I actually very rarely write porn. so I end up glaring at prompts that don't specify and wonder if the op wanted porn or not. but if a prompt specifies that smut is optional or they want a specific sex act I feel a bit more comfortable replying. or else I just write something and sit on it forever.

like...I just think when someone fills a prompt I leave and I'm just like ...wow, that wasn't what I was looking for in my head. it's unavoidable sometimes but I just really hope I don't write something that leaves people feeling that way lol. going from oh!! to oh... is kind of sad in a horribly mundane, inconsequential way.

well i can tell you my understanding, which will likely change as everyone learns more about them. :D

basically, he's 4d and unpredictable. he has a very ~unique~ sense of humor. a lot of the time he's just kind of spacing out, which is adorable and goofy in its own special way. he kind of just floats around and does his own thing, and the others expect as much and let him be, i.e. during the cooking competition in the second ep of rookie king he was pm damn useless, eating everything instead of cooking, and everyone named him as the most useless, but no one tried to make him do anything, either. he also tends to be really affectionate and cuddly with the other members. :3

cries that's so cute ;____; he's my favourite so far but i haven't had time to learn much about him. i haven't seen ep 2 either, waiting on subs, but ep 1 was SO good i haven't watched such a cute rookie show in ages :3

ig that's where you should be more selfish? there's always the risk that the prompt is nothing like the filler was looking for, shit happens. if they say nothing abt porn don't sit there fretting abt writing porn you don't want to write just bec they maybe want it lmao, just write what you want. (still kprompts feel a lot less porn-centered than other prompt memes, i almost feel silly for wanting porn sometimes...) ig basically not specifying gives the writer more creative freedom, right? so just do what you want. i may on a few occasions have written things that i suspected wasn't really what the prompter was looking for, simply bec i wanted to do something of my own for myself and bec the prompt stimulated me to it. by the end of the day, ig a fill is more abt getting me to write things than someone getting their prompt written lol. and ANON don't tell me you have unposted fills sitting in your computer! skip along and post them rn >:/
