hi, I read Playthings recently and I love it!!! u wrote vmin’s dynamic (and almost codependency?) so deliciously in general and the tension was palpable 😵💫 I just started reading Worth The Risk and wanted to ask if u can show pictures of how u picture them in this fic? the links on ao3 aren’t working for me for some reason :<
“wouldnt it make sense if i was yours and you could call me your baby” 🫠🫠🫠
omg i know u already have a layover inspired fic marinating in ur head but the FRI(END)S lyrics?????? so vmin coded its begging for a 1995soulmates fic n i can literally think of no writer better than u to do it justice!!
Can i ask you a writing question? This might seem really specific but what are your thoughts on writers using ''of the'' twice in a row (in the same sentence)? Like, this is a word /of the/ sentence /of the/ question I'm asking you. Because I really struggle with this as a writer. I notice myself using it a lot and not finding any proper alternatives (where changing the sentence to like the question's sentence's word does not make sense). Do you think repeating words like this is bad writing?
so i had a writing coach when i was younger that really taught me a lot of things that i still use to this day! from that perspective, i tend to try not to repeat as much as i can, and i personally tend to notice when people do—but that might only bc i was told Not To lol i think if you have no other alternative, it’s ok! sometimes that’s just how the sentence is best said. if you find urself doing it often, then maybe looking at ways to say what you’re saying in a diff way (also if possible!)
Another alphaism of jimin, I can't find the clip, its an older one, but tae and jimin are walking and tae takes a protective arm around jimin and tae switches to walking on the left? side, the side where ppl are walking in the opposite direction and jimin notices and switches places to put a protective arm around tae instead. I don't know if anyone knows what I'm talking about.
the world needs another 1995SOULMATES vmin college au 😭
do u have a thing or quality of vmin that u always have to incorporate in your fics? like something you associate so much with them or like about them that you have to write it in? (also for other ships your write/love?)
“taehyung calls jimin angel and jimin calls taehyung baby” is actually a 1995SOULMATES staple! i always call my smut for them “spicy soft” do anything that falls under thar category. jm is naturally very protective of th so that’s always there. mentally th always has dark, curly hair like in the soop or on era and jm is usuallt blond 😵💫 lots of hand holding, lots of being each others other half, perfect soulmates even when there’s angst 🫂
do u ever think about how jimin changed so much since debut and mentioned he no longer has to pretend to be someone who is. and then there's taehyung who's said that jimin sparkles now, that he brings surprised and has become so cool, that he used to not have songs that he could express himself with and he does now. I just think it's beautiful that in that process of jimin realizing he doesn't have to be someone he is not, that he learned how to be and love himself, tae has always been cheering him on and praising him and assuring that he loves his jiminie so much
jimin’s personal growth journey is one of my fav things ever i love that video of him watching his younger self n being like “hurry up and be me” it’s just so wholesome bc he’s grown into the person he wants to be n no longer feels the pressure to act like or be anything else n i love that 🥹 (and ofc th being there for him is a plus)
just wanted to pop in and say your vmin fics are my favorite and i’m grateful you write for them 🤍
Hi! How’re ya? Uhm I rmr a msg from u on patreon that u we’re going on hiatus and was wondering if that’s why when I go to ur page it only shows ur pfp
fuck…i just read about ur layover inspired vmin fic idea
even if you don’t end up writing out your ideas into stories or don’t write them now or anytime soon, please always tweet them out anyway because they are A+ ideas and i love reading the brief overviews on them! even if they aren’t full fledged fics yet
Hi Cie, I hope you don't mind me asking but do you have some advice for me? I write fics too but for months I've been barely able to write. I will open the doc, read through the same few paragraphs and change little things but I can't stay motivated to do much else and I feel so guilty for it cause I wanna finish this fic. Should i continue to try or maybe take a break from it?
hi!! i personally dnt think there’s any reason to pressure urself inflict any more stress by trying to force urself to do smtn it’s clearly not in the mood for. i always take writing breaks and give myself the chance to come back to it organically. so it’s up to u, but if trying to churn it out hasn’t worked, maybe letting urself rest might help? good luck!
Hi Cie! I just wanted to say how much I love your work. I distinctly remember that your Shared Spaces story was the very first fic I ever read as I was getting into BTS a few years ago. I can't thank you enough for introducing me to this community. I've read hundreds of amazing stories since then and have even written some too and that wouldn't have happened if I hadn't stumbled upon a link to your fic and loved it immensely. I don't know what compelled me to say this today but I wanted you to know how special your works have been for me 💜💜
