is there ever a right time to admit that you are your sock?
someone on my t-list is a really big pro-ao3 author, and she's saying one of the things she hates about lj is the fact a fic is judged by the amount of comments it has and how kudos is a much better system. and she's calling authors who want comments on fic narcissistic and extra, and i just... :/ i mean ia i like the idea of "kudos" too, but idk i think i'm just being sensitive because i've always WAY preferred getting a comment, and i'm tweeted before about how if you really like a fic, you should always comment. like i understand it takes more time, and you don't always have a lot to say. but if you /really/ like a fic, even just a "i loved this!" can mean a lot to an author
this makes no sense to me? does she... not like getting comments on her fic? or does she not like the fact ppl say out loud that they want/like comments? geez. i'll say it out loud, comment on fics!!! i love comments, they're great encouragement
got2015 hasn't updated anything for about a week now. is it safe to post fics and reply to comments?
i would say so....jeez i wonder what happened

(Anonymous) 2015-01-30 08:23 am (UTC)(link)anon tell me some of these good authors/stories for ikon? i feel bad lol ): the thing is i keep meaning to, but i don't have time to read every fic, so i kind of stick to well known authors so i at least know what i'm about to read will be decent

(Anonymous) 2015-01-30 09:20 am (UTC)(link)i do the same thing. like i don't read fics unless it's from an author i know is good, and yh it's probs very bad :/ my fandom is fairly big though, i think if i was in a small/up-and-coming fandom, i'd probs try and check out any fic that sounded interesting

(Anonymous) - 2015-01-30 10:24 (UTC) - Expandon the discussion of socks, what are the reasons fanficcers write as them? i haven't felt the compulsion to make one myself but i haven't closed myself off from the possibility
personally i make a sock when i'm unsure about a fic? this usually happens when i'm writing my first fic for a fandom and i have no idea what the fuck i'm doing. otherwise it's a bit freeing to post on a sock because ppl come in and judge your fic with no conceived judgement about your writing, which is nice
omg sorry this comment is going to be super passive agressive anons but i need to rant
there's this one person on my olymfics team i honestly can't stand. they're semi-bnf (or well, friends with a bunch of bnfs), and they're so selective in regards to the people in our team they choose to engage with? we have some other well known authors on our team, and they pretty much only ever talk to or go out of their way to be super friendly with them. otherwise they ignore everybody else. and i mean it's well in their right to only talk to the people they're interested in? i mean the teams are 20+ and you can't talk to everyone. but basically it's been piling up. like they'll only reply to threads made by these people, will tweet encouragement at only them, and whenever anybody else tries to talk to them, their replies are a lot more curt and don't leave room for any discussion. and then this happened:
so at first i was like, okay i'm maybe judging them too hard, but then i found their twitter (by accident. they don't have it linked anywhere, but it turns out we have a mutual friend), and they've tweeted stuff like (paraphrased) "did my team for olymfics lose the good writers bingo or smth" and some other replies to their friends were shading our team. and mind you, their twitter is public, so basically anybody can come across and read this. ANYWAY, i don't really talk to them much within our team, but it just pisses me off because they've basically done nothing to help the writers on our team, but they're fine bitching about it to other people
i think i've kept this vague enough, but yeah i'm not asking for a witchhunt or anything, but i'm just really frustrated and need to vent. i can't tell anyone on my team and i'm about to explode, anyway, carry on with usual broadcasting

there's someone on my olymfics i irrationally don't like for the opposite reason. she's always talking to ppl in our team (not even about the competition), being "supportive", and it's just way too overeager and i'm just like, do you not have any fandom friends?
things that we were looking forward to in january but it's february now and they're still nowhere in sight
ikon debut
ikon debut
in ygland adding a min of year to projected dates is more accurate
i'm so paranoid that i'm the overfriendly person the anon above was complaining about, but that's probably because i always get paranoid that i'm the person anons are complaining about. i even get paranoid when my behavior is nothing like what they're describing, because then i start wondering if people see me differently than i see myself u____u
sorry for the rant, just had to get it off my chest
sorry for the rant, just had to get it off my chest
aaw anon ): dw! you can't please everybody. if it makes you feel better, there's one overly friendly person on my team who i really like because they're always replying to me and giving me encouragement. that might be you too!
is there even any point to waiting for got2015 to update, they're not responding to any of my attempts to contact them

(Anonymous) 2015-02-03 06:58 am (UTC)(link)anon from what i've seen, most if not all of the ikon fics posted seem to be written by socks. literally 75% of them lol so if it looks interesting, just give it a read, because they might be written by some well-known author/bnf on a sock! :)

(Anonymous) 2015-02-03 09:28 am (UTC)(link)i wonder why so many people post their ikon fics under socks. are they ashamed or something lol

(Anonymous) - 2015-02-04 20:27 (UTC) - Expandthe more i write this exchange fic the more worried i am the recipient won't like it T_____T
usually the tell tale sign is their account is newly made and they only have that one fic, or only fics for certain fandom on it. but their writing doesn't read like someone who's new to writing kpop fic. also sometimes you can tell because their friends comment
finally got around to reading the infinitesanta fics this year and i'm bit disappointed. are most of the good writers all gone from the fandom :/
aaw, really? :/ didn't like any of them? i was looking forward to reading them
so olymfics and wannabeseouldout is on and kpopvalentines didn't happen, are there any other planned exchanges or whatever???
is intoclub being run by the original mods? how awkward
anooons, i have a dillema ): i've been in fandom for a few years, and along the way i've made really good friends and they all do mean a lot to me! but i'm not the kind of person who likes mixing up my real life with my fandom life, right? i go to good precautions like i don't use my real name (to this day none of my fandom friends know my real name) and don't really give out my location. and i kind of managed to evade adding any of them on my real life facebook or twitter by making up excuses. but one of my friends asked to start a skype session with me? and the thing is, i really do love her a lot, i've known her online for 3 years, and i enjoy talking to her, but i'm not sure if i'm comfortable with that ): and i feel like a total douchebag because so many of my friends have all met up irl and they're all involved w/ each other's real lives, and on one hand i do feel a bit jealous sometimes because the real life aspect of it means they're probs closer to each other than they are with me, but overall i like real life and fandom life separated? and it isn't a personal thing, it's just a line i want to keep, and it doesn't mean i don't trust them. like one of my fandom friends is coming to my city next month, and i KNOW she's going to suggest meeting up, but i honestly feel so weird about it!! i really don't want it to come across like i don't trust her/don't consider her close enough, because that's honestly not the case, i mean likewise my real life best friend knows NOTHING about my fandom life and i don't plan on every telling her. ANYWAY, i know i sound silly and like a 12 year old, so should i just suck it up and do the skype session and agree to meet up :/
lmao you can mix them a little bit? for instance my fandom friends know my face and first name but not like.. my street address and who my mom is or whatever.
imo you're being really strict about this. and it seems like you wouldn't be asking anons about it if it wasn't something about yourself you wanted to change.

i feel like i found my friend's sock, but they never told me about it so i guess they don't want to be found :c
let your friend have their privacy anon, i'm sure it's not personal
kpop-ficcage actually looks like a fun. i wish i had signed up for it this this year u___u
they'll probably start another round after the first one ends, at least that's how i interpreted their rules/faq post
i came across this and idrk what to think. how do anons feel about it? was op's comment condescending and should have been delivered to the mods in private or was it valid crit that should be public?
idk i guess the language was pretty pointed but honing in on that and not the actual issues is pretty derailing imo. and honestly i think open forum discussion is important, fandom is already so preoccupied with keeping up this image of the ~cult of nice~ but honestly, if the mods weren't competent, then of course people are going to voice their dissatisfaction? even from that thread, there were other people who agreed with op about their issues with the exchange. obviously a witch hunt or a dogpile on the mods isn't what should be intended, and that can happen too easily on the internet, but the participant was being truthful about what they felt while participating in the exchange and if it really was as bad as they say it was then i don't think open discussion on the journal is a bad thing.
is there any bts stan who can give me suga meta? or just tell me about him in general? idk anything about the group but i find him qt and interesting
suga!!!
these posts can kind of give you an overview:
honestly what sticks out to me the most about suga is that he is funny, in more of an intentional way than the rest of bangtan (who are very funny! ) each of them have their own sense of humor like jin is corny and then he apologizes for it, v is the 4th dimension alien while suga is more brash, more directed in his humor? he likes to tease others and himself. i think he uses humor as part of his tough exterior, to deflect from being more personal. i dont want to imply that he is cold, especially because he is super qt with fans and does a lot of aegyo, but he isnt as emotional or sentimental. he is the most ~manly~ member. he once called himself bangtans public relations bot which i think is super qt and kind of shows what i mean, that he is the most professional in his interactions? the member with the most distance between what they show publicly and who they are in private (which bts has also said)...his hip hop monster is a turtle which i think is pretty....accurate...
other things: rly good at basketball, likes photography, has legs better than snsd (his words, not mine), has the most consistent personal style, his tongue can take you to hong kong
