they had this kind of "challenge block b" thing (not really sure how to put it) but basically they got fans to send them specific things to do in a day. i think one fan requested that they celebrate her birthday with her, and they actually went to do exactly that. another fan asked for them to help her cut her bangs because she had neither the time or money to go to the salon HAHAHA.
here are some pics for you: http://tunisianbbcs.tumblr.com/post/62260155214/photo-2013-09-25-taeil-jaehyo-u-kwon-kyung (warning for autoplay!)

wow i had to think abt this for a while bec that question hurt a bit lol. i have been asking myself that question before and that time i had a minor personal crisis because writing is like the only thing i've been sure about for the last couple of years, that i want to write. and when you start questioning something like that, that has become like a part of who you are, it's like "wow wtf who am i". i think it would be weird tho that i'm always thinking about writing and always want to write, if i didn't want to do it. but maybe it goes deeper than that?
yes, i have to be good at writing to enjoy it. and in one way i think that's not strange, that you want to be good at what you're doing. it's not fun struggling with something you suck at, right? but at the same time, i realize that that's the problem. and telling myself "this is good enough" is my way of getting around that. it lets me put my perfectionism aside and actually write, which is what it's all about because if i don't write i can't practice writing and actually get better right? and it lets me enjoy it more. maybe i should rather tell myself "this doesn't have to be good" but idk, maybe i can't do that in this situation, maybe that's a too big step to take. and frankly, if "this is good enough" has the same effect, does it matter? maybe it does. it probably affects my way of thinking about it, yes. but i can't just change my way of thinking. bottom line this perfectionism affects a lot of parts of my life so ik i've got stuff to work on ik u__u
i've sort of stopped looking at author advice tbh, because nothing said can ever apply to everybody and i find that you just have to pick the raisins out of the cake and find the stuff that applies to you and helps you, and ignore the rest otherwise it'll drive you mad. frankly most of those advice just make me feel pressured and stressed. changing your view from "i have to be good at this to enjoy it" to "i have to enjoy this to be good at it" is a whole lot easier said than done, and no offence to you but it feels like such a flippant thing to say. (lol i'm srsly pressed at all the advice telling me i have to do this or that, it just makes me angry u__u)

understandable, but i'm not sorry.
who do you write for? about your perfectionism, it seems you've found some right answers. yes, when you repeat "this is good enough" and hide again you're not doing yourself any good. at the same time i don't think you're on the right track. most people's first drafts are trash. the reason others don't think it's shit is because before that trash hits press it gets reread, cut to pieces, refined, sometimes several times in the case of novels. and it sounds to me like you're vomiting onto a page like everybody else and hoping for the scent of roses. tell me if i'm wrong.
despite all that that wasn't the point i was trying to make, earlier. the point was: you talk about wanting to write and trying to enjoy it but above all, do you enjoy writing, the joy of telling a story, or merely the idea of being a writer?

i didn't mean that you should be sorry, this is my own problem and i have to handle my own reactions.
i'm not writing to be published tho, that's so far down the line that i don't even think about it. i'll admit that i'm not good at editing. there's so many ways that you can choose to put things and frankly all the choices and making decisions are stressful to me, and that's where the "good enough" part comes in. it lets me be somewhat satisfied with what i've put on paper so i can move on, finish the story, post the fic or whatever. i don't necessarily think that's a bad thing, if it keeps me going. i still learn from it. it's like i don't even dare to vomit over the page in the first place bec i'm afraid of what's going to come out so i'm like, whatever helps me through that is fair enough, whatever works. whatever makes me type things. and if writing is so strenous to me that writing several drafts and extensive editing is not even on the map then i'm not gonna strive for that, i'm just gonna try to settle with what i have and try to enjoy that, or i will be stuck overanalyzing words to the end of time. it feels good being able to feel somewhat good about yourself, it strengthens the spirit, the self-esteem. so maybe i'll dare to vomit more in the future.
idk if i enjoy writing since it's so hard. i enjoy it when it's going well lol. and i enjoy telling stories. but the process of telling a story isn't, you know, just telling a story.

doesn't matter if you're not writing to be published. like, clearly you want to be good (better) at writing and revision is just a part of that. for me, it's the most important part because even though i hate it it's 50% of how i improve (the other 30% and 20% is reading and writing fyi) and the reward is completely worth it. i get that everybody's different but not by that big of an extent; without exception, every writer i admire does the same thing. a good beta or editor might help? an anon mentioned a meme writing group. don't pick a friend and try to send complete things or else you're not going to build a strong work ethic. if you work it right, it isn't even a thing you aim for, it's a thing that happens as you write. oh and before you even think about line edits (word choice, grammar etc) worry about the big picture first, for e.g. how's the pacing? how does this scene contribute to the story i'm trying to tell? does the plot even make sense?
whatever the case, you seem passionate about writing and i'm really happy for you. keep going as you say if you think it's what will help you most, but i hope you keep your mind open. you've said it yourself, you're a perfectionist, and i don't think that mindset will last you forever.

so here's this site that claims to tell you which famous writer you sound like the most. i got chuck palaniuk then margaret atwood and i'm just. ???
the mod at bangtanboys changed the settings to moderated posting and now i've been waiting for two days for a post to get approved. :(
apparently my unnidearest fic sounds like james joyce... winning!
but then for my other fics i got hp lovecraft, stephanie meyer, jk rowling and dan brown :( at least i never got the same author twice.

lmao anon you go gurl
.....ok maybe not /o\ i wonder what the criteria are. does the program look at sentence structure? vocab choice? or is it the number of times marble lips appear, "cold yet strangely comforting......."
wae did i just type that, anon, wae

david foster wallace popped up the most, followed by chuck palahniuk
and then anne rice for one lmao i haven't read anything by her since i was like 14 wat

nothing. i don't think they've checked the comm for days and that's the problem. idg why this comm needs moderated posting in the first place. small fandoms aren't likely to get spammed.
well send them a msg if you haven't already and hope for the best...? sry that's not rly comforting but it gets me mad, like why if you love this group enough to open a comm then let people, y'know, share that love
...with fic n___n
...with fic n___n
i've sent them two already /the most impatient
i'm not really mad, just kind of frustrated. last week posts weren't moderated, now suddenly they are and the mod is MIA, sighs

we must be getting close to the end now!
only two more fic ;~;
i don't think i've ever read an imaginary friend story told from the perspective of the imaginary friend! i could kind of see where the story was headed so there weren't too many surprises. i liked how donghae's pov remained childish even as kibum was growing up at his side. the grammar was all over the place, but in general this was a very readable story.
lol anon this is funny apparently i write like steven king for a section of 1.8k words.
i tried putting in sections of a different complete fic i wrote and got so many multiple authors that i think....something is a bit fishy lol. picking and choosing paragraph sections will get you a lot of different results.
but when i put all 20k+ words in the box i get cory doctorow, so there must be some overall factor that overrides the other parts.

i mean, stephen king, excuse me mr. king i was distracted
