LET'S GET INTIMATE WITH JUN_4_EVER......
HI ALL
HOPE YOU HAVE READ PART 1 OF NORA AND GOT TO KNOW HER LIKES AND DISLIKES,,NOW LETS FIND OUT ABOUT WRITING FANFICTIONS,
PART 2
TINA: How and when did you decide to be a fanfic author?
NORA: It’s hard to pinpoint an exact time, fanfiction has been something I have been passionate about for over fifteen years so I’ve read a lot. I also explored a lot of fandoms where I would read something somewhere and would want to implement it into a different fandom. YunJae was the first fandom I wrote for though but I truly don’t think there was a moment I decided to do that, it just sort of happened.
TINA: What made you to sit down and actually write something?
NORA: Honestly I think it was boredom or just a desire to do something different, to take my mind off something that made me sit down and write.
TINA: What is the first fanfic you completed?
NORA: “One Time too Many”
TINA: Few words on your story one time too many?and does it have any similarities from your real life.(the confession more than one time part)..
NORA:No it doesn't have similarities to real life for me but it is my baby, the first story I ever completed even though I didn't love it cause I think I grew as a writer after it and my writing got better. Maybe one day I will rewrite it but I like having it as a reminder of how my writing improved.
TINA: How did you get your idea for your first fanfic?
NORA: It was based off a manga.
TINA: Have you had any prior experience of writing before your first fanfic?
NORA: Just school essays if you want to count those.
TINA: Have you ever plagued by doubts on your storyline?
NORA: I think every author is, even if they are basing it off a book. I always am, I have plans that have plans for each scene that I write, it’s never as easy as sitting down and typing.
TINA: How did you promote your fanfic to readers?
NORA: I posted to several different communities on livejournal.
TINA: Have you ever been anxious about how the readers receive your story?
NORA: Always. Something that I think is humorous will be whatever to readers, something that I think is stupid will be amazing, it’s all based on the reader which is why feedback from readers is important. Being a reader I appreciate the work an author puts into their story but being an author I always think my stories are lacking.
TINA: Thoughts on how you felt when you see the first comment on the first story? Do remember who is the first commenter?
NORA: Disbelief. Someone actually read that thing? Jaeyunshii, the gorgeous girl who I spent nights and nights talking to on MSN messenger, she was the reason I continued my stories when all I wanted to do was quit them because I hated them so much.
TINA: How do you prepare yourself before writing a fanfic?
NORA: I try to figure out what I am trying to get into each chapter/one shot, what’s the main plot, where will it go from here. Basically sit down and draw a map of where the story is going, how will it get there, that sort of thing.
TINA: Do you work out plot line or do you prefer to see where your ideas or inspiration take you?
NORA: I like having a major plot point or a few and then fill in the gaps, usually with scenes that I want to include then when I publish some chapters, I include more scenes based off people’s suggestions. My readers always write part of my stories for me.
TINA: When and how does your inspiration or muse come to you?
NORA: This is a tough one, sometimes a muse doesn’t leave me and I can write for hours, other times it’s something as simple as an overheard conversation that will inspire a scene or a whole story in my head. There is no specific thing.
TINA: What is the weirdest place you were struck by inspiration for your fanfic? Did you write the plot?
If yes what is the title of the fanfic?
NORA: Weirdest…probably a bathroom or shower, surprisingly lots of my ideas come from there. I started to write the plot, it was the birth of my story The Lonely Veiled Prince
TINA: How much research do you do for your story?
NORA: Depends. Some stories next to none others a lot, it depends on what I need to research and on the plot.
TINA: What is the easiest part of writing?
NORA: The character sketch, they are the ones who I picture first and know how they will look in each scene.
TINA: What is the hardest part of writing a story?
NORA: oooh tough again, probably the settings, trying to put into words the scene I can picture clearly in my mind.
TINA: The writer’s worst nightmare the dreaded writer’s block.
When is the worst writer’s block you ever had? How did you overcome it?
NORA: Smut scenes! Worst blocks ever there, usually I go write a different story, post it and wait for the reviews from that to motivate me to get over myself and go write again.
TINA: Any useful tips on how to overcome the writer’s block?
NORA: Don’t force yourself, a reader will always be able to tell if you do. If need be, don’t write the scene giving you a tough time, even if you have to include it as a flashback, better than forcing yourself to write the details.
TINA: Have you written any collaboration with other author’s? If yes name of the fanfic.
NORA: yes, Jaeyunshii and I did It All Started With A Dare together.
TINA: Decision and reason behind your collaboration with Jaeyunshi?
NORA: We just got talking and became really good friends and decided to collaborate because we loved the idea behind the story so much.
TINA: How do you describe your writing style? Do you think you have your own personal writing style?
NORA: I don’t know how to answer this question honestly! Skip please!
TINA: How do you think you've evolved creatively throughout the years? Do you notice any change in the way you write?
NORA: I’ve noticed that things in my life influence my writing. If I am mad I will write an angry piece for example.
TINA: How important are readers and their comments?
NORA: VERY! Can’t stress this enough, they are what keeps me writing.
TINA: I have been a silent reader for few months before taking the steps to comment..
Any words for silent readers?
NORA: Authors don’t bite, I am a silent reader too so I understand it can be a bit of a bother to reply but even if you do it just once, we as authors appreciate knowing that something we pour our time into is being appreciated.
TINA: Do you read other yunjae fanfics? If yes name of the fanfic you loved?
NORA: So, so many! Just one that I loved okay anything by walinlove, loved all her works!
TINA: Are you friends with any other author’s?
NORA: Jaeyunshii is my bestie! Others too but I’ve been away from the fandom for a couple years so names are slipping away, sorry guys!
TINA: How do you make your stories standout when there are heaps of other stories with similar plot lines?
NORA: I don’t think about it standing out, it ultimately is up to the reader and what they feel like reading, I let my story speak for itself!
TINA: Has anyone stole your story and published under their name?
NORA: Not that I know of!
TINA: Thoughts on others stealing your work?
NORA: Honestly, why anyone would do that I don’t get it, to get their two minutes of fame? It seems so childish to me, we are on the internet writing for fun, don’t spoil it!
TINA: How do you manage your time between your daily activities and updating stories?
NORA: I update when I can, my fandom life doesn’t take over my real life and it shouldn’t.
TINA: Do you have any favorite time of the day to write stories?
NORA: Not really, I like writing when inspiration hits me so whenever if fine by me!
TOPIC SMUT :
TINA: So tells us why are we so interested to read the taboo topics when it comes to yunjae?
NORA: ultimately, we don’t condone this. We know we don’t condone this. But the wonderful thing about stories is that they take us places, away from ourselves and our lives and give us a glimpse of something that we know is wrong but because we subconsciously know it’s a story, we let it slide.
TINA: How difficult or easy is writing smut?
NORA: Depends on the scene. Some are harder than others.
TINA: Do you blush or get embarrassed while writing smut?
NORA: Again depends on what’s going on. Is it steamy, fetish, or is it vanilla? The hotter, the more squirmy I get.
TINA: How do you write the sex scene? What is the inspiration?
NORA: I just imagine it and that’s usually enough for me to write it hahahaha.
TINA: Have you ever watched GV before writing a smut scene? (U can choose to ignore this if u doesn’t want to answer)
NORA: Yes. Let us just leave that there.
TINA: Has any family member or friends have ever walked on you while writing a sex scene?
NORA: All the time!
TINA: Thoughts after writing your first ever sex scene?
NORA: This sucks, I should just delete it.
TINA: What is the secret of writing a sex scene that turns on your readers?
NORA: I don’t think any of them have so when you find out, please let me know!
TINA: Still writing or you stopped now?
NORA: Stopped YunJae after the split, it hurt too much.
TINA: Future yunjae projects?
NORA: Maybe if they ever get back together.
TINA: So what about your ongoing fics,,they have awesome plots especially the lonely veiled prince..can u find it in your heart to continue them?
NORA: Maybe one day but even now the pain is too fresh...I do write for other fandom a though but I don't know if I can ever go back. You never know though.
TINA: Do you believe in any other pairings apart yunjae?
NORA: Yoosu and KangTeuk from super junior. Also SiChul...
TINA: Have you anytime in future have plans on deleting your journal?
NORA: Not really, it’s not bothering me or anything!
TINA: Any words for the readers?
NORA: I love you guys!
