sncj secret santa 2015 further clarification

Answering further inquiries from Santa:

Who are your three favourite (ex) EXO members to have as narrators?
Apart from the Junyeon/POV Junmyeon/William Moseley dream fic of mine (lol), for me it honestly depends on the story? But if I have to name three, I guess I could tentatively say Yifan, Jongin, Zitao. I guess? It's a really hard call tbh. Sehun and Baekhyun POVs are really awesome too, (well they all are).

Who are some of your favourite non EXO groups or idols? (esp. girls/girl groups!!!!)
This is a tough one lol as there are so many I'm sure I'll forget some (a lot), but for girls: AOA (Choa!! Jimin!! Seolhyun!! Chanmi!! but really all of them), f(x) (especially Victoria and Soojung and Sulli but I love all of them), Lovelyz (Kei! Jiae! Sujeong! Mijoo! All of them!), Oh My Girl (Binnie my lovely Binnie but really all of them), Girl's Day (Yura!! But all of them ofc), Mamamoo (all of them lmao), The Ark (Halla ♡ but yes all), Liyin, red velvet (Joy but yes all of them), a pink (Eunji!!! But all of them), miss a, sistar, snsd (Tiffany mostly with Fan BingBing). Hello Venus.

For celebrities, Yang Mi, Fan BingBing, Zishan, Liu Wen are Chinese actresses/models I love, and Mizuhara Kiko for Japanese actresses. (She looks like Jongin ♡)

Boys: honestly I know I'm forgetting people here. THESE ARE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER. Umm. Okay. ALL OF UNIQ. Jino/Jinho (the ex-sm rookie now with cube?????? I'm not sure. He was in round one of SM the Ballad). Zhou Mi. All of Fahrenheit. (cpop). SHINee (except Onew, I like Onew but, yeah...). From suju, depending on character needs (Yesung <3 <3 <3 also I love Kyuhyun in conjunction with Jinho or Qmi or OT3!!!!! but besides that, Heechul! also use anyone else for character needs? Like Siwon makes a great priest, etc.) Infinite especially Sungyeol (2yeol is awesome), Myungsoo (fluffy cuddler perfect for Jongin) and Sungjong (demonchild, great match for Taemin). Teen top especially Niel. the SM rookies especially Ten. Seventeen especially Jeonghan. up10tion seems interesting? Bigbang especialy GD and top. Winner (everyone really but especially JINWOO and Taehyung). GOT7 (everyone and Jackson is a dear). VIXX (Leo and everyone). BTS (everyone). MBLaq especially Lee Joon. beast. btob (Sungjae!!). toppdogg. ikon. I'm sure I forgot like half of everyone, so even if I didn't mention them that doesn't mean I don't like them. DGNA. DMNT. History. Boyfriend (the twins!). MOnsta-X. I FORGOT B1A4 (Chansik, Baro but everyone) and Block-B (Zico but everyone) don't forget them! Lol

For celebrities, William Moseley. Skandar Keynes. Dane DeHaan. Haruma Miura!!! Sato Takeru! Seto Koji! Hongo Kanata! so many Japanese actors but honestly I kind of doubt(?) that you're interested tbh.


What are your three favourite AUs, and are there any that you don't really care for?
Honestly again, I like pretty much everything and it's hard to limit it to three;; but maybe 1) I love bdsm dynamics especially platonic bdsm (punishments as an actual need, aftercare, a long term healthy relationship, anything sexual is COMPLETELY optional) but I know that most people aren't comfortable with this, so that's okay!
2) I love magical realism/space au ummmm. I guess comparatively speaking, Ender's Game or hanahaki disease or xxxholic/wish shops, basically something that takes the real world and life and adds that little extra (like mama powers or even just mama references/symbolism, like pushing daisies - the pie maker who brings people back to life could be chanyeol because phoenix's are always reborn, anything like that) OR something that takes a space setting like different planets or space ships but looks at regular life in them; like the small annoyances of running a publishing company with a manga magazine with intergalactic distribution. That kind of thing ^^
3) I love just regular people and their interactions, like uni or working adults (not so much general office au but more, like person a is a writer or architect or this or that, or photographer, travels, etc.) but also domestic, I love mpreg but any kind of kids/family is great (m/f preg is good too! or side character fpreg!) I don't really like wolf au though so while abo is totally okay, my favourite is more a regular world where mpreg (like a type of magical realism) is just an extra "layer" of reality, and there are obstetricians/gynaecologists/andrologists. But apart from domestic, just interactions between people, like arranged marriage or fake dating or secret dating or just regular interactions! Doesn't have to be romance at all. I also love crying in the middle.

I don't really like high fantasy, gangs, recreational drugs, pirate, mafia, wolf (abo is fine just not wolf), hybrid.


Are there any songs you'd like to see inspire your fic? (it'd be great if you could specify what you like about it eg. lyrics/music video/general vibe/etc, or just the whole package)
Honestly this question is kind of impossible—if you track my shiritori tag you can see that I write multiple stories a day based to varying degrees on different songs, so honestly. . .I don't have an answer to this I'm afraid. I guess, I love music videos? Artists like Placebo, Linkin Park (especially political), really anything visually/conceptually interesting? To be honest, strictly inspiration-wise, I prefer music that isn't kpop. (K-rock and K-indie are fine!) I can't really explain why, I'm sorry. Kpop music videos are still qualifiable! Just not really the songs themselves.

Which one (or more) of EXO's pathcode teasers was your favourite? (Maybe put them in order if you want to list more than one)
I loved all of them, and the MAMA ones too (they're kind of the same to me), So I'll go ahead and list my favourite MAMA ones and then pathcode. For MAMA, I preferred the ones set "outside the box" that told a story, so the suho/d.o. one, the kris one, the sehun/luhan one, the chanyeol one, the baekhyun/lay/chen one. and definitely add both mama mvs to this!

For pathcode, honestly I loved all of them, the whole concept was 100% my thing. I really can't rank them at all. I supposed, very very very very very slightly I preferred Tao and Sehun's and Lay's but that's just because of extra cool effects/powers/so much going on. Like, I could ramble on right here about how much I loved each of them and talk about details for hours.


What is your favourite fic? (EXO or other fandom, feel free to list more than one or even an author whose work you like)
again this is very difficult because I don't really compare....wow. Um. well I guess a perennial favourite is the professor's wife. After than, I'll just share examples of specific types of fics I've liked, rather than favourites. Celestial Mechanics [abo] The heart where I have roots [soft scifi/future/magical realism] helplessly hoping [hard-hitting real issues] A pretty boy with a bird tattoo and Catch me [poly] The trust that you won't fall [bdsm/platonic bdsm] the escapement error [horror/psychological] beta tau sigma [uni] Life couldn't get better [mpreg]. A LOT of my favourites aren't even on this list, this is just a barebones of types of stories I like.

Happy, sad, bittersweet, ambiguous, or (insert other adjective) endings?
Honestly I love all of them, they just evoke different feelings? So like, a more reflective story with a tragic/open/you never know ending is awesome! but so is something more resolved, especially if it's longer. I guess, very very generally, the longer the story the more resolved I like it? But totally feel free to disregard!
