Ok so I'm not an exceptional writer and neither an experienced one but as I was reading some amazing Fanfictions, short stories and one shots, a question( well actually several) popped in My Mind.
1. What motivates(or inspires) you to start writing?
2. How much do comments and likes matter to you? (for eg if sum1 didn't lyk ur work, would you go so far as to stop writing?)
3. What motivates you to Continue Writing? ( this Q is nt the same as first - for eg if ppl didn't cmmnt much on my work, thinking abt the ppl who did cmmnt and lyk motivates me to go on.)
4. If you hv a Writer's block vat do you do to replenish ur expired creativity?
5. The couple who are ur favourite as characters for a story.( Asya for me of course...bt cn differ 4 u guys.)

Ok so this is for ALL the Writers on the Forum...u need not ans all the Q.This is just the product of a sleepy mind!!!

sometimes some characters touched your heart...sometimes U feel like imagine them...they exist in ur mind...and then U thought to pen down that imagination of ur loving characters!!!
This is the reason of my writing...i don't if U read or not mine...though I'm nt so regular here...
And yes...cmnts R important...for cheering U up...i know every writer like that...but writing succed when it satisfied the one who write it!!! 😃
These R my point of view...

hmm great questions actually got me thinking because i just randomly write 😆
but hear goes😛 :

1) maybe when i've had a bad day writign jut helps me take my mind off things, also i LOVE writing. also watching shows eg qubool hai and thinking if things happened differently. esp when attached to a certain character or story, once again eg qubool hai and our asad and zoya😊
2) if i dont get much comments i most likely would continue but still it always feels great to anyone and gives more motivation when comments and likes are given.😳
3) comments obviously would push me to continue but still even if there arnt so many comments i think i might continue
4) well for my FF /OS's here at the forum , watching qubool hai scenes, esp my fav ones like the bathroom, holi, mangalpur, and ofc the dream sequences help alot or just listening to deep music, even ones played in the show l❤️
andd 5 ) Asad and Zoya. i LOVE them. writing about them is fun because they have so many moods they're basically a tornado, whirling around from hate to friendship to petty fights to insults to love and all the way back to fighting..and ofc including the comedy. Most interesting couple, in my opinion❤️

First of all, I'm not really an exceptional writer either. I like writing in general, but fiction is a bit of challenge for me. Especially coming up with different ways to say "he said" and "she said" that don't make it boring.
1. Motivation: I guess for me it was a trial and error thing. I wrote a little bit (2 pages) and showed to a friend who encouraged me to post it. I hesitated but did it anyway. I guess the motivation is to see how people react to your version of the facts. I was curious to see how my imagination sat with others.
2. & 3. Comments are always welcome. Good and bad. Bad, in the sense that they critique my work. But negative ones that insult it, no. Though thankfully I haven't gotten any of those. I would like to get more comments because I feel they would help me grow as a writer (hobby writer =P), but my ideas continue flowing regardless. I keep writing but maybe posting frequency might go down because I don't get as much feedback as I'd like.
4. I usually let it be. Sometimes I get ideas while in transit (bus, train, etc) and pull out my phone and start typing. it can't be forced. And since this is online and for entertainment, we're allowed the freedom and flexibility (except for those who are anxious to read the next part of a story haha)
5. Honestly, before Asya, the only thing I had written fiction on my own life. Their onscreen chemistry, their pain, their inability to express themselves are emotions and feelings I know all too well. And their growth reminds a little about how I've grown in the last 4 years :)

If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer. :) Not very experienced, but love this couple (Asya) and have sooo many ideas that I sometimes don't even get time to write them all down haha

Alsooo I'd love to read some of your stuff, if you have any on this forum :)

Hey First of all really loved your topic... yes, i love writing but i think, i am better in writing stories instead of FFs. yet i am writing one here and is being liked well too...
Definitely characters motivate me to write, i like to use characters as they are onscreen but as the story line goes on, the character may take another shape...
yes, comments and likes are always welcomed, trhese work as motivation for the writer, you know, in my first FF, that was not in this forum, i had only one reader and he is still my best friend in the forum... but now by gos grace i get nough response
Next depends on your topics of writing, here in the forum, if you write bold, you get better response but as i can't wirte even romantic lines, so a bit response but good enough to continue...
no, i don't know anything about writer's block,, what is that and how t enter in that block...
before ASYA, i had written on Rishbala but now almost left that forum, and write just here...
thats all from my side...

1. What motivates(or inspires) you to start writing? i just watch the QH episodes and the ideas and plots for OS n SS just pops in my mind at the end of the episode! that has become kinda habit for me 😆😆
2. How much do comments and likes matter to you? (for eg if sum1 didn't lyk ur work, would you go so far as to stop writing?) They mean the world to me! comments and likes are the gems of a writer! if someone doesn't like my fiction then i dont discontinue it or get disheartened cuz everything is not perfect! everyone has their likes and dislikes some might love my OS others might not! i write cuz i love writing and i'll continue writing no matter what!
3. What motivates you to Continue Writing? ( this Q is nt the same as first - for eg if ppl didn't cmmnt much on my work, thinking abt the ppl who did cmmnt and lyk motivates me to go on.) Like i said i write cuz i love writing and that's what motivates to write!
4. If you hv a Writer's block vat do you do to replenish ur expired creativity? Not really experienced it yet! and i hope i dont experience it!
5. The couple who are ur favourite as characters for a story.( Asya for me of course...bt cn differ 4 u guys.) waise i have written several fiction (not FF) but AsYa if my first jodi for whom i have uploaded my work for every1 to see! so they are and will always be my favorite couple to write about cuz it's cuz of them i got my confidence to write and let every1 read!

Ok so this is for ALL the Writers on the Forum...u need not ans all the Q.This is just the product of a sleepy mind!!! Thankyou so much for the interview makes me feel like a real writer! 😆😆

Love,
Sadie!😃

1. What motivates(or inspires) you to start writing?
For me its usually the chemistry of my favourite couple cuz im just a writer for my favourite onscreen couples! And ofcourse my daydreaming 🤣

2. How much do comments and likes matter to you? (for eg if sum1 didn't lyk ur work, would you go so far as to stop writing?)
Likes depend on how good you are and how much others likes your work. comments however i usually want as much as the views so i know what they likes or dislik about my work! Definitely not. If someone doesnt like my work, id want them to comment on my work and tell me where i went wrong so i improve. Stopping is no solutionn!

3. What motivates you to Continue Writing? ( this Q is nt the same as first - for eg if ppl didn't cmmnt much on my work, thinking abt the ppl who did cmmnt and lyk motivates me to go on.)
The comments and the likes to be honest! Even if people critcise, u are motivated to write more to change their opinion and if the loved it then you crave for more appreciationn!

4. If you hv a Writer's block vat do you do to replenish ur expired creativity?
Then i depend on my dreaming 🤣 whatever i dream about, i make it into a story! 😆

5. The couple who are ur favourite as characters for a story.( Asya for me of course...bt cn differ 4 u guys.)
AsYa ofcorse and ArShi (Arnav and Khushi from Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon)! 😃

Good post.

1. What motivates(or inspires) you to start writing?

The thought that it can make someone feel good.

2. How much do comments and likes matter to you? (for eg if sum1 didn't lyk ur work, would you go so far as to stop writing?)

None actually. I rather appreciate comments which point out my mistakes and places where i can improve.

3. What motivates you to Continue Writing? ( this Q is nt the same as first - for eg if ppl didn't cmmnt much on my work, thinking abt the ppl who did cmmnt and lyk motivates me to go on.)

Same as number one. The thought that it can make someone feel good.

4. If you hv a Writer's block vat do you do to replenish ur expired creativity?

I faced one recently, facing one at the moment. For writing AsYa i need more of Bickerings and Mitwass 🤣 Sometimes i fight with my best friends to get the feel too 🤣 Chocolates and Coffee. Also Shower. Gives good good ideas 🤣 especially convos 🤣

5. The couple who are ur favourite as characters for a story.( Asya for me of course...bt cn differ 4 u guys.)

Asad Zoya Najma Dilshad Ayaan. They only dominate my Fictions.
