just wanted to thank you for sharing the wolfieboy fic with us it's my go-to cl fic for when i need a huge serotonin boost
hope you're having a lovely day <33
i’m so honored it can be that for you! thank you! 💕
hellooo i'm a baby stay and i was reading little world fallin' apart (which is So good so far omg) and i was wondering if the voice crack thing from the beginning of the fic was a reference to something that actually happened? did chn's voice actually crack during a performance at an awards show?
hiiii! no, there's plenty of other stuff in this fic inspired by real life, but this was a fictional plot element! this fic takes place in an ambiguous but nearish future <3

Hi! I was curious if you might ever write a bts x skz fic? Not necessarily them together or anything, I just think it would be fun to see them interact with your writing style, since you have been in both fandoms. Anyway, have a nice day! :)
mm no! i love namedropping/cameoing idols in my fics, so maybe a tannie could show up in passing (for example, jungkook in the 97z group chat) but i’ve never been especially interested in exploring cross-group dynamics. for me the real draw of fic is exploring dynamics that already exist!
(also, the vast majority of speaking-role cameos in my fics are women. i don’t see myself writing skz fic and being like you know what this fic with a lot of men needs? MORE men lmao)
the only exception is my bestie and i have this running joke that seokjin and felix would bond over a shared love of the minions but i can’t stress enough how much of a highly stupid and deeply unserious outlier this is.
Hello! I just read little world fallin’ apart. It was very good! Thanks for sharing!
thank you so much!! 💕
i just wanted to let you know that me and my friends have not stopped talking about your werewolf fic since we all read it!! we dont have any public accounts but we all are obsessed with your writing and cant wait to see what you write in the future!!! so much love to you!!
this is so lovely to hear, thank you so much! 💖💖 i'm a very slow writer and wolfieboy took more than a year to write but i have ideas for some shorter fics that i'd like to write next! (also sorry for the late reply i don't check retrospring super often!!!)
Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that I really love your latest fic and can tell how much love was poured into it. I've re-read it so much since you posted and am left speechless by your writing each time and the details, its like I'm reading something new each time. You're a blessing to this fandom. The chanlix characterisation was perfect, the angst, chans fondness of felix. I also love the way you write felix when he texts, it made me laugh each time. It was perfect!! I also love all your other work too. :)
eeee it’s so nice to know that you’ve reread it! that’s such a special little benchmark for good fic, like that’s how i know i truly love a fic! thank you so much for dropping by! 💖💖
rachel you truly have a way with words. I’ve read so many fics from so many fandoms and none of them have made me feel the way yours do. seriously you have such an incredible gift!! I feel lucky to get to read your work <3
this is so sweet :c thank you, i needed this!
hello! im not a writer and i genuinely want to know why do some writers include warnings in the notes of their fics and not just tag them? i love your fics a lot im just curious!
i can only speak for myself, but when i put warnings in the notes but not in the tags, i’m telling the reader that there is potentially sensitive content here, but it’s not a fic ABOUT the sensitive content. if it’s not intended to be a point of interest, i’m probably not going to tag it, but i also don't want to totally blindside people, so: additional warnings in notes.
i’m currently working on a wip that will have “animal death” as a warning in the notes. it’s not a fic ABOUT animal death. therefore, i will warn about it, because it can be a sensitive topic, but i won’t tag it. compare this to my fic “the whole of the moon," which i DID tag as animal death, because animal death is a central point of interest for that fic.
hope that helps! ♥
curiouscat is alive again
ohhh yeah would you look at that! maybe i should start archiving some of my answers for when cc inevitably goes down For Good
rip curiouscat 😢
yeah rip i had like 1200 answers on there
did you ever come up with a backstory about how jin got captured in precisely why someone shows you the ocean?
nope it's up to the reader's imagination!
Do you like Lizzo's music? If so, what's your favorite Lizzo song?
nope<3
Stray Kids performing at Vmas! How you feeling?
good for them! but i've been into kpop for too long to have ~feelings~ about every single milestone or opportunity i'm tired hdigsjdgsfg
Hi there! I'm the anon who sent you the message about hoping and praying you upload a new YoonJic fic. First, thanks for your reply! Second, after reading another anon's weird response ('i wonder why people always want new content. they say they miss an author's fics, or a musician's older music, but both things weren't even taken down and made inaccessible. just thinking out loud
) to what I thought was a compliment to your incredible stories, I hope I didn't come across as demanding or insinuating you HAVE to write a new YoonJin fic. I wanted to express how much I love your YoonJin fics. I read them all the time, and I love the worlds you created for YoonJin. Even if you never write another YoonJin fic again, I will always read your fics.
I just wanted to clear that up.
the other anon's question was not in response to you. both of your messages were in my inbox at the same time, it just took longer for me to answer the other one because i felt like i had something to say. it wasn't a weird response, it was a thoughtful observation that i enjoyed thinking about, and no one thought you were demanding or insulting. <3
