At least it was just a day and the changed words was only "ass". Not going to like that kind of pranks though.

I was thinking if i'm gonna able to post my fiction here, I'm currently working at it (In my MS word) 

I can't post it due to the register issue (this is my third time that i'm registered)

So can I post my story here? This is my first time that i'm creating a fanfic, so expected to have many miscorrected words. 

Thank you...and expected to have a comment so I can start now to post my first story here. 


P.S.

I'm the only boy in here? Or the ratio of boys to girls are suddenly high? 


Another P.S.

This is my first post, so Hajimemashite minna-san

Lately I've been wanting to see more fics with unusual pairing. I mean I like certain pairings but reading unusual ones is refreshing. 

On side note, I have a draft with uncommon pairing (Yukirin x Yuka) (that I don't think I'll be able to finish with incapability of forming words from the images I have in my mind)

I agree with you, but selling is the main issue although I'm no help at that

[Yuki88]

So I'm currently in the middle of writing a fluff on Yukirin x Tomochin (Don't ask me how I decided to do this seemingly-nonexistent-and-weird pairing  ) which, for once, progressing well and I actually have a clear vision how I want it to be  but....
I wonder if I should use past tense in writing it (the non-convo ones)? Currently it's mixed of present and past tense

Well I think it would work out either way based on you are saying, just to keep a mood within the story

[Minamiyuki]

YukiTomo is not exactly non-existent since they tend to be paired up during recent performances. A story about them should be interesting

Anyway, in reply to your question, it is up to you which narrative tense to use in your story. I am more comfortable with using past tense in my writing as it feels more natural to tell a story that has already happened. However, present tense can be used to make readers feel a sense of immediacy, meaning they feel like they are right there experiencing the story's events as they unfold. One thing to note is to be wary of making unnecessary switches between the past and present tenses when you write in present tense. That's the risky thing about using present tense; it is easy to get confused when you want to write about past events in your story. If you are not confident with juggling two tenses, it is best to stick to writing in past tense.

I suggest that you read this article "Narrative Tense—Right Now or Way Back Then" to have a better idea of the effects of writing in past/present tense. Here is an excerpt from the article:

Pros and Cons

Familiarity
Since the past tense is familiar to readers, readers don’t have to adjust when they begin a story written using past tense. There might well be an adjustment period for readers of present-tense stories.

Novelty
Stories told using present-tense narration can be enticing because they’re different. Readers may also end up paying closer attention since the format is one unfamiliar to them. They may develop a deeper involvement in the story.

Immediacy
Some writers and readers believe that use of the present tense makes story action and events more immediate. On the other hand, proponents of the past tense may find that verbs used in the past tense make story events seem more immediate. Because there’s no adjustment needed, readers can imagine themselves in the story from page one.

Believability
Readers have to believe that story events written in present tense are happening at the very moment they’re reading. That’s admittedly a stretch for some readers since they know the story events are not happening in the now. After all, a book’s events have to have been completed before the book was written. Yes, readers can get over this incongruity, but reader perception is something to consider when you choose your narrative tense.

[Yuki88]

Oh wow thanks a lot for the help and suggestion, kurosawa87-san and Seigus-san 
I think I have a clearer view on which one I wanna use 

[kuro808]

I just wanted to say I have a favorite pairing, all others shall be be non-existant to me

If you want to know.... go check my updated profile

It doesn't I won't write others, but just expect more of my fav pairing

Anyways, how did you find your favorite pairing(s)?

[Yuki88]

My favorite pairing, huh... I dunno, it's just happened. But, well, I think I choose a favorite pairing because I think they have unexplainable chemistry between them. Pretty hard to define, haha.
