i just finished blood water after finding it a few days ago (i was unable to put it down), it’s the first fanfic i’ve read in years and my first ateez fanfic. i loved it so much and it will definitely always have a special place in my heart thank you so much for putting so much effort into it. i saw there was plans for a sequel, is that still happening? i would absolutely love more content in this universe 🥹🥹
Wow thank you so much! I'm genuinely so flattered! I hope this was a good gateway into ateez fic—there are so many great gems in the fandom, you're going to love it here 🤍
I do still want to write a sequel. I have so many ideas, and so much already planned out. It's just so hard to get time to sit down and write now. I'm still hopeful it'll happen, but we might need to wait a little longer ^^;;
Thank you so much for this wonderful message, it really means a lot! I'm thrilled to know you liked my work so much ;;
hihihii !! i just read ur atz wrong data fic and ohhh my god it made me laugh until i cried i was HOOKED. i binged it all in two days. i feel insane. you have a talent for making ur writing so addictive im serious i kinda want to read the rest of ur texting aus now....... i hope u have a great day !!! pls drink lots of water and stay safe <3 !!
i found ur blood water fic today and sat down to read it after dinner. it’s now 6am and ive finished the whole thing. i have no regrets abt my choices. it was VERY well thought out. every twist was devastating but never in a way that felt unfair to the world you built. i really admire this, more than i could hope to say in the character limit. would you mind re-linking the blog post you mentioned in the final author’s note? it doesn’t seem to be working for me on ao3 :( thank you! wonderful fic once again
Hi wow thank you so much! So incredibly touched you enjoyed my work so much! It's messages like this that really made all the effort i put into it worth it ;; damn i'll check the link on ao3 and see what's going on. The blog post is available here on tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/alette-stars/758344008066039808/over-240000-words-45-chapters-written-over-4?source=share
Thank you again for this really lovely message, i appreciate it so much 🤍
Hi alette. Would you consider coming for a wedding if I invited you
Do you allow podfics (audiobook versions) of your fics?
I enjoyed being lost in every bit of the worlds you created. LJ will always hold a special place for me. Maybe, someday, in real life, we might brush past each other and never even know it. But i sincerely wish you all the best in life, and I hope you are often happy. Lots of love for the last time, 💜
Thank you so so much for reaching out to me again. I'm so touched to have made such an impact with my words! It's such an honor to know i was a big part of your fan life, and that it was significant to you. Congratulations on starting a new chapter of your life! Fandom and all your hobbies and interests as a whole will always be available to you, no matter what, so you can come back any time. Thank you again for your wonderful words, and if you ever want to talk again, i'm here 🤍
(i'm leaving the rest of your message private, i hope you don't mind. but know i read it and i'm really very happy for you! i hope you can achieve and enjoy everything you want in life 💙)
just wanted to drop by and say that your wrong/right chat fics are some of my favorite fics that i reread all the time (including the ongoing ones, which are new fandoms for me!), they're just so fun and bring me so much joy and comfort. thank you for sharing your stories with us!
binge read the entire blood, water in a span of 3 days, it was soooooooo good, i definitely cried during the last few chapters
also couldn’t help but notice you’ve turned it into a series!!! so excited for the next works in that universe!!
do you have any plans for it already? is it going to be ateez or some other group?
Wow thank you! So touched to hear my work affected you so much! (also you are a fast reader holy shit that is literal hundreds of thousands of words to read in less than half a week, kudos)
Ah yes, i did decide to expand it into a series! It will be a direct sequel, so same cast, but with a few additions. I've had a few floating ideas for other groups in the same universe, but none have really stuck like the sequel idea, so that is what we'll be getting (eventually. hopefully.) I talked about this ages ago, i think my first tweet on the subject is here: https://twitter.com/alette_star/status/1259603019991150592 yes it will be jongho-centric!! And i'm really excited so i hope i can write it soon and you'll enjoy it! Thank you so much for this ask, and i'm thrilled you enjoyed my fic 💜
hii are u planning to keep writing wrong (right) data? i love it sm it’s one of my fav fics ever
And also say sorry coz this is probably so random but i couldn't contain my excitement and also thanks for writing give you're one of the best authors I've read
Hi omg I'm actually too shy to msg like this but i just stalked through your socials and retrospring like an obsessive fan and i came across your answer where you reply that the idea of one mingi's previous crushes being based on svt's Woozi and i freaked out bc I'm actually a carateen and i just LOVE your work and writing style! I wish you could write svt fic too bc i can actually imagine them in your writing style and i just know you would flesh them out so well if you were a fan i just wanted to say this
Wow thank you! I'm really happy to hear you're enjoying my work! I do love seventeen, they're such a fun group and they make terrific music too, so i can confirm you have great taste lol. And please don't hesitate to ever reach out if you want to! I'm not the best at replying on time (as you can see ^^;;) but i would always love to hear from you! 🤍
So your last 2 updates showed up in my email but I was so busy i couldn't find the time to read. When I did get around to reading today, i found that I had missed the third from last ch update (i always read one ch before the latest update as a brush up). I get to the last ch and read Epilogue in the title. I gasp. I look at the ch count. I gasp again. I've been reading Blood water when it was a 3 ch wip so it's been a journey that's come to a beautiful ending. Thanks for the treat alette, you always amaze.
Holy shit i could've sworn i replied to this ask already. So sorry to keep you hanging!! I'll try and recall what i thought i'd already said to you ^^;;
Thank you so so much for being with me through this huge journey. Blood, water was 3 chapters literally years ago, so to know i was able to keep your interest for so long is such a huge honor. I'm really so touched! I don't even know what to say!! Except sorry for dumping all the chapters on you at once and not giving you time to process haha
Thank you so much for reading, and for this super lovely ask. It really means so much to me 🤍
Hi! I really love your writing style and I'm a big fan of everything you have on ao3. Keep going girl! My question is, are you planning to keep writing Blood, water? I think it's such a great story!
Hi Alette! I just reread wrong (right) ad for like the 5th time! Wanted to tell u how i fell in love with kunhang and dejun 😭 this was the first fic where ive read their ship and it got me into them so fast! So thank you for writing and take care!
Are your side characters based on other k-pop group members or are they random names? If so, who is Jihoon based on? I thought Minho sunbae was shinee's Minho but that could just be the shawol in me lol
