it'll be interesting to see if the change in group assignments means a wider variety of written groups for olymfics. or if people will default to writing exo or whatever group is in now ficwise
last time i got assigned exo instead of a nugu group i would've rather written because i think they needed to balance out the exo writers per team more u___u if given the choice like this time, i would've written the nugu group
i broke up with my only fic writing friend, so it might be time to make some new ones
people who put an order of preference in exchange sign-ups ~__~
if not exo then who is big ficwise now? i haven't read fic in forever
exo still gets a lot of fic proportionally I think but there definitely seem to be writers bleeding over to bts/got7/winner/ikon
while i didn't love interstellar, i thought it would be a really cool fic idea but then i remembered that it has basically already been written for infinite, almost 2 years before interstellar was shown. imo the fic was better than the movie bc i didn't enjoy all the physics terminology lol

interstellar was very visually appealing and it explored an interesting topic. however, it was trying too hard to be clever imo. and it had so many scenes that just went on too long
i'm so beyond annoyed that the ao3 tag for my bias group has become aff 2.0
like every fic is some giant crossover clusterfuck about dumb generic au like high school or vampires and shit.
even if people wanna write dumb au's i wish the cross overs would stop. i wanna read about my group not these 20 other ones.

i'm also in another fandom where suddenly everything is a crossover with sherlock and teen wolf and i don't give a fuck about either so i'm just. why
why did i think two overlapping exchanges were a good idea, anon? WHY????
screwed up my courage, went ahead and signed up for olymfics \O/ had a slight panic attack that i may not have 3 bias groups i can write for but thank goodness they posted a running list of fandoms represented
yay me too. i hope i can stick with it. fighting anon!
this probably makes me a badfic writer but 99% of the time I'd rather use stage names
for which groups? i don't think that makes you a badfic writer automatically. ik for big bang fandom people used seungri instead of having two seunghyuns running around
ahhhh have to wait so long for olymfics assignments :(((
yeah why have they designated so much time to assign teams and post prompts? is it a lot more work than for exchanges? idgi
excited for got2015 posting!!!
still have to wait for a few weeks but that doesn't stop the excitement \o/

i didn't even know there was an exchange. excited for anon tho!
does anybody know if there'll be any anon crit meme thing this year?

it's kind of terrible timing on my end so if someone wants to take it over for me i would more than welcome it but if not it will probably be sometime at the end of this week

what do anons think of nuguseyo so far? and does anyone know how many people actually participated this year?
i've only skimmed the fics so far but i'm pretty impressed! i can't believe there's an olltii fic *__*
deleted bc she decided that she had moral issues with rpf
does anyone know of any kpop/avatar: the last airbender crossover?
ummm no bu that sounds interesting??? if you find one pls post link here too
If you have 50K worth of fic but the plot hasn't kicked off by the 3K mark, I won't be reading the rest of it even if you tagged it as my favorite rarepair.
I could say the same for all of the "longfic" writers, tbh.
Reading a shorter fic - even one that's less that 1K words - that hooked me right away is infinitely more rewarding.

yeah, i'm firmly in the quantity =/= quality camp. story length is not really a determining factor in anything, and i've found that a lot of people in kpop fandom especially struggle a lot with pacing, which becomes way more glaring the longer the story gets. and in all honesty most of these 50k epics people are writing could be edited and condensed into at least 1/3 of the length or shorter, considering a lot of them are straight up romance stories (which i love! i love romance. but there's only so much pining/UST/filler that i can take).
very first K-pop Last Drabble Writer Standing Contest! As the very first of its kind

I've been out of reading fic for a long, long, horribly long time. Can anyone direct me to BTS writers/fic communities that are enjoyable? Pairings don't matter much. Thank you. (:
an anon gave some specific recs on the previous page

depending on how long you've been out, i thought this year's bangtanexchange on lj was good (from february)

anyone reading the infinitesanta fics? any good ones posted so far?
A bunch of them are cute and entertaining
Lots of cliche fics that are rehashed for different characters, good for pastime reading.
So far the only one that stayed with me after the inital read is the woogyu letters!fic where woohyun's promoting solo while sunggyu's in the army

dropping out of an exchange without even attempting to write anything because "none of the prompts really speak to me" just tells me that you're not ready to sign up for exchanges in the first place and i would be glad to ban you right away
someone keeps updating this fic literally every three days so it will stay at the top of the feed and i'm like fucking goddamnit no one wants to read your shitty ass fic
but in my mind tho cause that would be mean

maybe they are updating every three days because readers like regularity? unless, as you say, no one is reading, in which case i feel bad for them
sorry this is prob an odd question. i was just wondering how much value do anons put on feedback on your writing by non-writer friends? (as they are biased since they are your friends) I mean specifically friends who don't really know how to give constructive critiques and just say positive things like that they think you are good?
sometimes i think it's useful especially if those friends also like to read. having stuff critiqued by other writers can also be good but also having your stuff critiqued by the receiving end of the dynamic is helpful.
as for them giving only positive things, it could be that they do think you're really good but don't know how to give further input? normally what i do is to set aside time with them and ask structured questions. ("did you like my characters? was my plot too weird, as in not-believable?" etc.) maybe it's not that they don't have more to say, but that they don't have the mindset on how to say it.

now that nuguseyo is over, any surprises that people got in terms of fandoms represented? any recs?
