Oh no- Oreo's Random Book

Writer's Q&A (1)

Sometimes for my random question days, I ask others if they have a question for me. Some of you like to get to know me or ask for writing tips, just like I enjoy getting to know y'all different opinions. ^w^ At first, I'd just post the answers to my conversation board the following day, but it gets hard to do that when there's a character limit. So, I've kinda decided that from now on if anyone has a question for me, it's easier for me to put those answers in my randoms book.

So for the first chapter of that, here's all your questions from yesterday! Thanks for all your submissions by the way! >w<

[How did you get your motivation and ideas to write your finished fanfictions?] @Glitched-Darling

Hello! :D I'd just like to say that about your earlier curiosity with Ink's pink vial... I wouldn't be surprised if he actually spikes others' drinks with it on occasion, lol.

As for my motivation, I write to get rid of stress. That's why you'll see me posting so frequently. Though when I do struggle with it, I take a break from writing to either chill out, focus on another hobby, or read through others' comics/stories. Doing that usually helps me to bounce back again and also naturally without causing even more stress.

Despite me reading other fanfictions, my book ideas ARE my own. There was a point in my life where I used to binge read absolutely every Undertale or au themed book I could find on Wattpad. Doing it for so long, at the time I started to notice a lot of books that kinda recycled the same stuff. When I started writing on Wattpad myself, I simply asked myself two questions. What would I want to read? And what hasn't been done before? ^w^ There might be other books with the same theme, but add your own personal flare to it! Believe in yourself, and people who truly like your writing are sure to follow!

[Are you in any other fandoms? How long have you been into the Undertale fandom?] @Spife_foon

Hi there! I am, though they're not as much of an investment as I am with Undertale. No fandom has really surpassed it, lol. My first fandom and the very first I wrote fanfiction for was TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).... Well, that was over ten years ago... (x—x) Seeing as there's new movies and series that have released about them since then, I find myself writing little things about the turtles every once in a while.

Undertale, Hollow Knight, Haikyuu, and Pokémon continue to be the top list of stuff I really enjoy. There are plenty others too! Though, I don't join groups or anything. I'm just a lone writer. *sitting in the corner* TwT

I just always had a love for mythical and fantasy themes growing up. Anything concerning creatures nonexistent to our world and I leap at it like I do for a pack of double stuffed oreos.

I've taken part in a lot of fandoms, but have quickly disregarded nearly all of them as the years went by. *nervous laugh* I bought and played Undertale when it came out. But at that time, there really wasn't a fandom or many aus to go to afterwards. I soon lost interest and moved on. It wasn't until 2017 that a past friend reintroduced me to it. They showed me all the aus and all the headcanons anD shIpS anD yEAh.. I've been hooked ever since.. TwT It's a blessing and a curse.

[How are you? You doin' okay?] @K1k1Lush

Aw, hello and thanks for thinking of meeee.. (pwp) I'm doing okay. Things have been a bit hectic so that's why I've taken more breaks from writing on the weekends- I'm okay though!!! How are you doing?

[Any tips for new writers?] @Gridlockandkey1255

1- TAKE yOuR tImE! If you don't have motivation, don't push it! You'll do much better if you pace yourself. While planning or taking your break, you may decide to make different decisions for your book that could really change it for the better.

2- Take helpful criticism, but DoN'T chAngE yoUr idEas bEcAuSe onE pErsOn dOesn'T agRee. I have a problem being dependent on what others think of me and that definitely doesn't help when I'm trying to write my own headcanons. Eventually, the stress became so much that I changed one of my book plots on account of people, and even then they weren't satisfied. It doesn't matter what you do. Not everyone is going to agree with you. Again, it's okay if others want to give you tips to improve, but don't let them practically direct your book for you.

3- BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! Practice makes improvement. Those who see your talent, enjoy it, and who see you trying to improve... They will stay with ya. I cannot stress these three points enough.

[Have you ever thought of making a coffee shop au story for either Sans or Papyrus?] @Mocha_cat09

I knOw you- Hi again! Lol

Like Ccino!Sans? In that case- yEaH! That would be so cute! The only problem is I already have a long list of book ideas/requests accumulated over the years. Honestly, I know I can't get to them all and I certainly won't be writing these books forever. I try to have a nice mix of picking my own ideas while also going for a theme that my readers would like to follow. Like for the past year, it's kind of been a streak for the Bad Sanses in a way. X'D But again, the thought has crossed my mind before and I would love to if I could.

[How do you get motivation and what's your favorite au?] @WilsonHeartz

Almost half of the questions and private messages I get are always about how the heck I keep my motivation. Lol. I'm not superhuman or anything like that. I'm human just like you guys? But to answer your question, I have a specific routine with writing because it's how I get rid of stress. As someone with autism, it's my stimulation hobby. My brain just knows that I have to do it. However, if I'm burnt out and lack motivation, I take a break to research different aus, watch or read Undertale comics, and also check out other Wattpad books. Typically, that stirs up enough interest for me to get started again.

My favorite au is actually a pair because I can't choose between them. ("òwó)✨ I love Mafiatale and UnderFell~ What's yours?

And that's the set of questions I got for this time! Hope that I've helped out in some way and didn't bore y'all. ("•w•) Cya~
