anons! what do you think about maintaining a consistent writing style? personally i get annoyed with myself because i want people to read my work and know that it's me who wrote it because of a personalized touch, but at the same time changing tones is so fun :( plus it all depends on my mood when i write, really.
personally i don't really always like... catch that something is written by a certain person unless they use particular phrasing i've never heard before? maybe i'm just not as observant in that sense, but to me, if i've liked something you've written i will keep an eye on you regardless of changing tones and mood! to me if you switch things up it gets me more interested and happy to see people try new things because why not!! <3

what do you mean by repeating scene after scene? is it the general outline of the plot you're struggling with, or the details of it, or both?

it's both T__T by repeating scene after scene i guess i mean that the beats of every scene seem the same? different stuff happens, but the pattern of action + dialogue + action + dialogue gets really repetitious... but i don't know how to change it up without getting super dialogue heavy or super action heavy? this probably has a super simple solution (write better) but T__T i don't have experience T__T

(Anonymous) - 2016-01-30 20:13 (UTC) - Expandi need new fandom friends... it's hard with fandom completely on twitter/tumblr now, with lj you could just awkwardly comment on a friends only post or whatever or start talking to each other on comms, it feels weird to just randomly @ someone or jump in on a twitter convo w/ a mutual friend
you could ask your friends to introduce you to people? but yeah making friends is so hard now
any winnernons here? on a scale of coworkers to friends where would you put them?
overall i'd say close coworkers with individual friendships. while i don't think for some of them their friendship would transcend their situation, they've obviously been through a lot together as 5, and they're all pretty comfortable with each other and have a bond that's not just "i work with you but i don't really know you" or "we have to be nice to each other" which i think is what coworkers usually implies in this discussion
as for who are more than coworkers and are friends, definitely seunghoon/mino and taehyun/mino, probably jinwoo/seunghoon

anons do you think, over your time in fandom, you've become more open to reading tropes you were previously averse to or the opposite?
i used to read badfic for fun but then suddenly everything was badfic and it was no longer fun.
how do you post links on ao3? i tried the regular html code and the rich text editor (same code) but it doesn't work. idk if there's a glitch or i'm doing something wrong?
hmm, you just use "<a href=" like you normally would? what seems to be the problem?
how long does it take you to give up a fic you really want to write but cannot follow through with?
i have a concept of a fic i want to write but anytime i try to start it i can only write 3 sentences and quit. like i have the general idea in my head but it won't come to form!

hmm, i usually keep all my wips no matter how short they are. whenever i'm bored or have no new fic plots brewing in my head, i reread my wips and, if i'm lucky, get into the mood to actually finish one of them. it's worked about twice or thrice for me, but you never know!
this fic just isn't coming anons T_T i've been banging my head against the wall for a week but it's just not happening... i'm so frustrated
same :( i feel you anon. we just have to keep trying to put words on the page, no matter how terrible they are, and hopefully get something flowing
how many days ago will you still reply to an op's post or a thread you weren't already part of? for example if someone posted a question you wanted to answer but it was 3 days old, would you still reply?
i don't look at days but how far up it is on the page
that one fic that completely destroys a pairing for you u___u
what ships have you had ruined by fics anons?
what ships have you had ruined by fics anons?
aww what happened to you anon?
for me, i'm a huge shipster so it's often the most popular fic ship in a fandom that i start hating, either because of resentment that what i ship isn't getting more fic or because there's so much that you see the same tropes everywhere (or different tropes bent to fit the ship when it shouldn't) and it gets tiring. an example of the former would be that year wooyeol was popular in fic (save my semi-rare sungyeol ship instead!!!1) and the latter would be woogyu (i have one or two woogyu writers i really like but only because they get the dynamic right imo)

when your favorite fic journals from the lj era get purged :(
is it just me or do kpop fics these days have a westernized feel to them from the setting right down to the dialogue? i'm guessing this probably has to do with majority of international fans coming from the us, but as someone who isn't from america i sometimes fail to catch the jokes or references in some fics that other people immensely enjoy. it also makes me feel :/ about posting fic because all the "westernized" elements i put in are either vague or taken off internet research.
i feel very similarly. i think my dialogue comes off as stilted because i'm trying to match the speaking patterns i see in most fics.
are there any particular examples that stand out to you? for me it's the majority of college AUs (and they're never called american college AUs, just college AUs)

+1 but it doesn't seem to have a regular schedule so who knows
sometimes i feel bad when reading lengthy author notes at the end of fics that tried to get a ~deep~ message across and/or mention all the symbolism they put in. because usually it comes off as pretentious and i'm just like "lol it wasn't that deep" or "well that was poorly executed." or maybe it's just me that's stupid where everything goes over my head and not expecting to find any deep message in kfic
it's not just you lmao. usually i'll ignore those notes. but if it's my friend's fic i'll say something like "i like that you weren't afraid to tackle that issue" or "i'm impressed how many layers there are in this" lol. i can appreciate the effort
since a few anons mentioned woogyu, how's their relationship like now? i haven't followed infinite since white confession but i picked up showtime and they seem closer?
i really wish i could pull off fantasy aus :c all my fics are either canon or regular old aus (college aus, adult life aus lol) but i don't think i have the patience or creativity for worldbuilding + devising a complex but gripping plot.
me too anon. i feel like i'm kinda telling the same story over just with different settings and otps. and any kind of fantasy au would be challenging but when i think of how much worldbuilding goes in it and that i'd actually have to write what i've thought of out i'm just like lol nope. i'm a slow writer already so if i made a fic it'd probably be updated once a year
there's an ikon fic exchange? yoo are sign ups still going on? link pls
someone brought up ikon meta in a thread on another page, but any ikonons here willing to give me june and donghyuk meta?
i'm really bad at just... coming up with meta. but if you give a starting off point/what you wanna know i might be able to take a crack at it?
i dislike best-friends-turn-to-lovers trope primarily because there is almost always a third party thrown in the mix who acts as the focal point for both characters to realize they've been in love with each other the whole time. most fic writers either make it as the person (girl, in most cases) being a stuck up bitch to justify their eventual break-up with character A, or completely accepting of character A's sudden realization that they don't want to be together anymore. idk, it's just so superficial and unrealistic to me, much less romantic.
best-friends-to-lovers is one of my favorite tropes but ONLY if there's not a third party involved. i find the third wheel thing lazy and unrealistic too. i prefer it when the best friends come together because of something happening to them or something that they embark on... like if they go on a trip together, or do a dfficult job together, or something like that. i like it even better when there's no real catalyst at all, when it just happens because it's time for it to happen if that makes sense.
