Saudade - Writer & Beta Reader. Prompter for BTSMBFest since Season 1
Making moodboard since: January 2020
What makes mb making fun?
For me, it's really about bringing that vision to life. It's a bit of a curse when I get an idea because then I can't do anything else until I assuage the urge... That includes writing for tight deadlines or whatever else might be on my to-do list. But it's very rewarding when I'm satisfied with the result.
Apps & Style
- I use InShot when making moodboards.
- Mm... it depends. I try them to have enough elements that will inspire a potential writer to make a story or, when it's for an existent fic, that it integrates the vibes and represents well the story and what the author wants to convey with it
Brand
I don't believe I have a specific way of making them that screams: "this was made by Saudade". Each one of them is unique I think, or that's what I try to do at least.
Moodboard count:
Around 30, either for myself, friends or fests. I love making them because sometimes, when I feel down or stuck, making a moodboard always awakens my creativity and allows me to daydream for a while.
Your first moodboard
My first ever moodboard was the one I made for my fic "Selcouth". I didn't know what I was doing so it's not the most aesthetic moodboard in the world xD But I still love it because I made it with all my love and it represents well my first attempt of writing a fic in English, which is not my mother tongue. It symbolizes my starting point, so now I can see how much I improved since then, both as a mb artist and as a writer
Advise your younger self
Don't be afraid of sharing what you create with others; it will help you improve and you'll find an amazing and supportive community in the process. Also, enjoy every little moment of joy within the community and never take anything for granted, because you don't know when things could change and never be the same.
Fav moodboard
I also struggled with this question in season 1, you are a bit evil to bring it back, did you know that? #jk This season I submitted more prompts so it's even harder to choose! I'm really proud of each one of them and, if they are claimed, I'll cherish the stories they accompany (I'm very excited!). However, I must say that both the minimoni and namgi ones hold a special place in my heart since, after making them, I really considered keeping them for myself. I'll be truly happy if they get adopted though!
