ao3 : vminism
ko-fi : vminism

fic that you want to recommend: mmm i have a lot of favorite fics and it's really hard to decide but some of my all-time fav vmins are nightlands by pettey, king of carrot flowers by kokiri, rogue planets by stoplight, tonight, we'll defy the stars (hello my old heart) by fifty-one sunsets, and who you gonna call? (kim taehyung!) by namakemono
fave fic written : probably permanence or constant c:

fave genre (of fic) : fluff! or pining.... really long slowburn friends to lovers with a lots of seemingly unrequited pining but a fluffy, happy ending is the absolute best. also i really enjoy things that are character-driven with lots of introspection. romcoms and magical realism are also great!
fave writers : for fic -- stoplight, unbalancedlove, lissome, skateboardsound, causeitsred, pettey, and kaythebest but also many many more!! for books -- zora neale hurston, sylvia plath, george orwell, toni morrison, ray bradbury, khaled hosseini, and virginia woolf

how long have you been writing : for as long as i can remember, definitely since elementary school when my mother started entering me in poetry competitions. but fic i've written since i was like, 12?? so 12 years now omg

advice for writers : just keep working at it! it's not easy, definitely, but you get better in time. criticism sucks but seek it out from the people you trust to be honest with you and make sure they know your limits beforehand (about how harsh or gentle you want them to be and what you want them to be critiquing exactly). i know having your mistakes pointed out is hard but the only way to improve is to know what you need to improve on. but never let that get you down! everything is a stepping stone on the path to a better you much less making yourself a better writer. also -- set realistic goals. tackle one thing at a time. write down EVERYTHING, even if it's the smallest inkling of an idea. don't give up. and read a lot! both fics and books c:

what motivates you : honestly motivation is something i struggle with a lot but when people are excited about my ideas or my writing, it helps motivate me to write more
if you could have 1 superpower : super speed
what can someone do to make you feel supported and loved : comments! comments make me feel soooo good i love hearing what people liked about a story or even if just getting keysmash from people makes me super happy and like all the hard work i put into a fic was worth it

hardest thing about writing : the actual execution part lol writing the story out
easiest thing about writing : coming up with ideas and fleshing them out

fave book : their eyes were watching god by zora neale hurston
fave movie : inception
fave quote : "ambition is not a dirty word. piss on compromise. go for the throat." - steve erikson
fave food : biryani!

ao3 : taeharem

fic that you want to recommend : currently i’m reading re della moda by stoplight / @st0plight (sui!) it’s amazing - characterization, plot, writing, heads up explicit content for the babies & softies.
fave genre (of fic) : fluff!!! I’m the biggest sap. I can’t handle too much angst I’m terrible I start skimming if it gets too upsetting & then I don’t know what’s happening in the plot lmfao.
fave writers : Bangtan fandom are so lucky there are a lot of amazing writers! Some of my fave & talented mutuals whom I may be slightly biased too are right here: https://twitter.com/taeharem/status/853888431486783488 …  

how long have you been writing : for the BTS fandom a year-ish, for vmin only since the end of last year (I’m a reformed vmin brotp-er, proof there is hope for all the lost souls).
advice for writers : try not to compare your writing with others! I used to always do this and feel discouraged about my own writing in comparison. Now I try to look at writers I admire as inspiration!

what motivates you : for writing vmin, the many countless adorable moments they have (or questionable rated ones, see: spanking in public, leashes). In general, music! For each fic I write I have a main song & fic playlist I listen to while writing that sets the fic mood/tone. And film! As a film major I always envision a fic in full -film form- & the struggle for me is getting that down in words.
if you could have 1 superpower : flying!!!!  
what can someone do to make you feel supported and loved : feedback! Even the smallest shortest comments are so appreciated. When i’m feeling crappy about my writing I go back & read old comments for motivation.

hardest thing about writing : finishing something! I find it easy to come up with ideas but I get bored easily & abandon a lot of works in progress. I get to a /slump phase/ halfway through a fic & lose motivation.
easiest thing about writing : I find writing the beginning of fics the easiest as that’s when i’m super motivated or it’s a fresh idea and i’m excited!

fave book : Girl with the dragon tattoo series, 1Q84, Milk & Honey, the velveteen rabbit
fave movie : eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (I may of cried when Taehyung rec’d this, it’s one of my all time faves), pans labryinth, edward scissorhands, donnie darko, a separation, almost all leo dicaprio movies my baby, let the right one in, y tu mama tambien, 君の名は。/ Kimi no na wa, paris is burning - I could continue forever-
fave quote : “what is stronger than the human heart which shatters over and over and still lives” ― Rupi Kaur
fave food : does red wine count??

fic that you want to recommend: i can’t live if i lose you by tjkm96 is one of the best things i’ve ever read. we promised the world we’d tame it by nonheather is also a favourite. if you’re not into angst, roll with it by conversehigh is the first vmin fic i ever read and it’s honestly so lovely.
fave fic written: i’m not very happy with any of my published works, but out of the vmin ones it’s probably shut up, i love you (you’re my best friend).

fave genre (of fic): i like angst, and all kinds of heartbreak. i also like fake dating because my soul is still fifteen and pining garbage still gets me, always.
fave writers: for novelists, donna tartt, lemony snicket, & vladimir nabokov. for fic, i especially adore stoplight, nonheather, & peachguk, to limit myself. (but there are plenty others.)
how long have you been writing: since i were able to pick up a pen, give or take a few days. it’s been a rocky relationship, though, and we’ve broken up more times than i can count. somehow i always come back, though, and try again. i got into this part of fic around a year ago.
advice for writers: if you have friends, talk to them. idea bounce, have them read your writing, talk about your ideas and thoughts and dialogue snippets. and always: read. read lots.

what motivates you: forever motivated by the fear of being average, or something like that. practice makes perfect, as my mum always said. she also said only stupid people get bored, and i’m bored a lot, so there’s some food for thought.
if you could have 1 superpower: invisibility, always.
what can someone do to make you feel supported and loved: huh. to be honest, i’m all good if you just say you don’t hate me. but i’m also mad needy, so comments are appreciated. that doesn’t just go for me, though—if you like a fic, or a piece of art, or whatever: please leave comments, or at least kudos/likes. if you can spend hours eating through a 50k slow burn high school au star-crossed lovers mutual pining fic, then you can damn well spend .2 fuckin’ seconds hitting that “kudos” button.

hardest thing about writing: honestly? most of it. i struggle a lot with getting ideas at all. i find pacing difficult, and i’m always afraid of writing too much or too little. also something that’s always annoying is when you have a good word/phrase in one language and you either cannot remember it in english, or it just doesn’t work in english at all.
easiest thing about writing: when i know where it’s going and what’s supposed to happen, the actual writing part often flows fairly easily. the result is another topic.

fave book: this is cruel. books are magic & my absolute favourite thing. i read qui touche à mon corps je le tue by valentine goby yesterday and fell in love. i can always read tartt and plath. tana french. the book of monelle. blueeyedboy by joanne harris. albert camus. lemony snicket, my hero since forever. wicked by gregory maguire. try robin stevens’ murder most unladylike series, i love it. i gotta stop. rec me stuff, i’m always looking.
fave movie: i’m not much of a movie person; have watched approx. 2.5 in my life. i like the incredibles.
fave music: lorde dropping melodrama singlehandedly saved not only my life but the year of our lord 2017. girlyboi, wolf colony, & lykke li are god tiers.
fave quote: the world is quiet here.
fave food: koldskål, always. pizza also.

fic that you want to recommend : ahh so many...i’m gonna go with summer; blue by batman! I find world-building and plot organizing difficult so i have a special appreciation for those who do it well. This fic is long but has so many exciting twists and builds tension in an amazing way. Ah..im in love...
fave fic written : gilded
fave genre (of fic) : Realism/Character introspection! The fics that have stuck with me for years are the ones that make me think and feel deeply, especially if there’s a bittersweet ending (haha, im predictable...) I love unconventional storytelling as well!

fave writers : Oh god I know I’m going to forget so many...fitzgarbage, nonheather, minverse, kaythebest, nnnnn im already forgetting everyone I wanted to say. the vmin fandom is blessed with so many talented authors!!!!
how long have you been writing : I wrote a few fics in the distant past but only started developing an interest in writing and improving myself 2 years ago.

advice for writers : I am going to recommend what has helped me in the past! Do a close reading of a special passage of a fic or novel that you really enjoy and try to figure out what it is that inspires you about that writing. Is it the way that author balances different sentence structures? The way they describe things? The words they use? Study this and try to apply that to your own writing. It’s difficult, but try to emulate that style. I find that after I read something written well I am trying to unconsciously mimic their style the next time I write? As long as you are not copying them, this inspiration is a good thing! Forgive yourself and don’t strive for perfection right away! It’s ok to not feel 100% satisfied with something you publish. There’s someone out there who will love it, and you will continue improving. I also recommend having a notebook or word doc just for any phrases that you think of. Sometimes I’ll be in the shower and think “ah, that’s quite cool” and jot the phrase down after. Looking over this list really helps inspire me when I have writer’s block. It reminds me of what I’m capable of and sometimes I’m able to use that phrase in my story.

what motivates you : Usually if I am writing, it’s because I’m trying to portray a certain emotion or feeling. For example I’ll think, “how do I describe the feeling of loss when you feel yourself growing distant from your old self?” and I’ll try to put that into words best I can. Music also. I especially love movie scores and opera.
if you could have 1 superpower : Telekinesis! I’m quite lazy haha
what can someone do to make you feel supported and loved : Any comment or support means the world, honestly. I have a folder on my laptop of nice things people have messaged me about my work and comments that meant a lot to me. I look this over when things seem bleak. I also really love when people quote my story in a comment!

hardest thing about writing : Confidence! I’m a perfectionist and don’t have a beta, so I tend to over-read everything I write. Usually when I post something it’s when I’m at the point where I dislike it, so that’s hard to get over. Anyone who follows my chaptered stories knows that I take a lot of time to write haha…..I’m doing my best to get over my insecurities and make this part less difficult. easiest thing about writing : Coming up with interesting phrases! I like writing poetry so this part comes naturally to me, I think.

fave book : lord of the flies by william golding or the secret history by donna tartt
fave movie : tinker tailor soldier spy
fave quote : “I overcame myself, the sufferer; I carried my own ashes to the mountains; I invented a brighter flame for myself.” -Nietzche
