what should we ( readers ) call you?
↳ hi, my name is lay :3
↳ it/its pronouns are good !!
↳ all of my pronouns are listed on my ao3 profile, they change a lot so it’s hard to swap them around on every platform / website
why is the shorthand ‘bimu’ and not ‘bimy’?
↳ because bimu is cuter imo HAH
who is your favourite character?
↳ i hate you.
↳ all of them, it changes… depending on who i’m writing or what the scene is, but each of them hold special places in my heart
↳ i relate the most to minho, hyunjin, jisung and seungmin for different reasons if that’s helpful? i struggle with my speech and emotional regulation, i have fluctuating sex repulsion too. so it’s very fun for me to write those 4 specifically
↳ channie, binnie and lix are the hardest for me to write, but i try my best lol… they will both get easier as you learn more about them
↳ minho, felix and jeongin are my sons though, i’m so proud of them constantly
why do you torture us ( readers ) ?
↳ i like writing angst :P
↳ honestly, it’s not as bad as it could be. i could’ve made them all hate each other LMAO… there was a draft where felix and chan were exes and that was worse than staygate, as so affectionately named…
↳ i started writing to help with my emotions, see above, and it spiralled into fanfiction and i like writing angst
↳ writing anger is very therapeutic for me and writing those big emotional scenes is very satisfying as well, so you will never get rid of those in my writing lol
why do the sex scenes get a dedicated chapter?
↳ not everyone wants to read smut !!
↳ i want everyone to feel comfortable while reading, and separating the explicit content from the mature content was a really important thing for me when i decided to make bimu explicit
↳ while i read a lot of sex and have researched way too much to write it, i know not everyone is going to be that interested or may be disgusted by it !!
↳ because it’s my first time writing sex and posting it, i felt more comfortable this way
↳ would it be easier for me if they weren’t? yes, i think so. ( especially in the future !! ) i’m not sure if i would for other fics in the future, but for this one, it’s important to me to keep it separate
did you make up these questions and pretend they are frequently asked?
↳ yes, obviously :D
