seeing my comment mentioned on your memorable comments tweet made me so happy I'm glad i could express to you how great your writing is and cheer you up!!! thank you for everything that you do
pleaseee thank YOU for taking the time to share your thoughts with me and make me feel good about my writing T__T im always really touched by fic comments bc its such a selfless act with the only purpose being uplifting the author like isnt that sweet :( i hope you know that i really appreciate you and that your words gave me so much strength and motivation 💞
I’m the same too so I totally get it, cackled hard when they made a Yumeiro Patisserie reference in one of their YT videos 👀
omg it has been a long time since I’ve checked out Special A, might need to read it again. And have you read Kare Kano? Iirc the basics of the characters are sort of similar and parts of them are so bn-coded too imo
One of my favourite works of yours is the wand one and the silly-cute premise is so shoujo-coded!!
YESSS I LOVED THAT TOO and omg i havent read kare kano but im familiar with the plot and i agree that its totally them!!!!! man theyre just so perfect for a slow burn rivals to lovers shoujo manga
OMG i always feel so happy when someone mentions wand fic i had so much fun writing it and it was my most shoujo-coded fic by far hehe.......i think that if i wrote it today it would def be double the length and a lot more silly
hi miss cordelia do u have a bluesky? 🥹
finished reading your choreographer au at 2am last night and i loved ittttttttt
the way you wrote bin and neul in your latest fic is truly phenomenal. you always had a thing where you simply Got them, in your previous tics as well, but this one? the new chapter? it felt like it was truly them. it's one of a kind story. the type of story that is characterised so well and realistic that you can't help but realize again just how much they're in love and fit well together in life too. even if they're not my main pairing the way you write them makes them jump to the top again.
truly truly phenomenal I don't know how to explain this, there is just so much love between them and the way you write them
THANK YOU SO MUCH i swear i say this so much but i really cant express how happy i feel when my characterization is praised, especially bc i consider fic writing an outlet for me to express my love for them and their special bond 🥹🩷🩷 im really touched that my version of them resonated with you anon 💕💕
(dont worry you explained yourself perfectly hehe)
I love to see/hear artists and writers’ thought process so don’t be sorry for yapping!
Actually, while reading your works I was wondering if this author is a fan of older shoujo manga because your ideas give off that vibe
and even if you didn’t manage to write others reaction to them I could totally imagine it 😭 especially the teasing (also, I know it was meant to be a funny line but “how come my two favourite bins talked about me” was touching to me 😭 even in this AU they would have met for sure. Like even the way you write other dynamics feel fitting too, like yeah this is the GV-Hao that replied to each other on chat+ because of Hao’s increased cuteness)
trying to spin common tropes and packaging it to something refreshing are not easy for real!!! But you write so well!!!thank you for giving me the opportunity to yap then hehe 💕💕💕 AND YOU ARE COMPLETELY RIGHT MDJDKDJDKDNDMMCNJDi i formed my understanding of romance tropes from consuming an insane amount of shoujo manga growing up and they definitely influenced my style a lot 🥹🥹 btw my favorite manga was special a and its soooo binneul haha
AWWWW re: your reaction to the 2binz line i totally get you bc i love hao2binz family sooo much 🥹💕 im smiling from ear to ear at the comparison bc i found that jjanggyuz interaction so adorable im still getting cuteness aggression from it days later!!!!!!! im so happy you like my take on them bc i always wanted to incorporate more jjanggyuz in my fic (since i usually have gyubi as hanbin's best friend in aus) THANK YOU AGAIN YOURE TOO SWEET 🥹🥹🫂🫂🫂
is that ur fic on the hanbin +chat message screenshot orrr (would u be so kind to share the link anw heh)
yes it is! its my latest fic hehe enjoy 🩷 https://archiveofourown.org/works/59454469
I’m also curious how do you usually get inspired for ideas (since your works thus far have all made me go “your mind!!!!”) and perhaps if you have a bunch of them which ones would you prioritise?
ohhh!! my usual thought process is like:
1. i feel inspired by an irl binneul interaction/lore drop/look or outfit
2. i think abt how it could be expanded on in fic format. i love stereotypical romance and fic tropes and i'd usually choose a bunch that i like and put my own spin on them haha
3. i consider how i could retain binneul's irl dynamic and personalities in this new setting
i really believe step 2 and 3 are the most crucial 🥹!!!! i actually think that on a surface level most of my ideas are pretty standard fic/romance plots and all my effort goes into fitting binneul into them to make it fun both for me to write and for the readers who love them as much as i do to read
as for prioritizing, i had to learn from experience to be realistic about my abilities and what i have the mental and physical capacity to write 😭 like for example ive had a really elaborate idea for an epic fantasy dragon!bin phoenix!neul fic for like a year now but i know that it would be at least +100k and require a ton of planning and world building so i had to put it aside and focus on ideas i know for sure i can commit to from start to finish.
sorry for yapping so much i really love talking about my process and im happy you asked about it >_<
Immediately dropped everything I was doing to read your newest update once I saw it’s finally posted, and just finished reading it (from the first chapter again even though I’ve re-read it like three times already while waiting for the next one) that was so FLUFFY???? Felt like being too full from eating so many cakes!!!! It was so——like your other works, the way you write is so entertaining
I’m usually a silent reader, my deepest apologies, but really wanted to say this time that you’re the author for this pairing to me (hey, we’ll never really know right, but I feel like your works reflected their dynamics and personas visible to the audience so well that I’m so curious to see what you’re cooking next) and writing this lengthy work must not have been easy but it was so good that I was craving to see more of how their lives went on after that (like how others react to the reveal lol and how even fluffier their scenes must be)
All in all sorry if this sounds messy, but you’ve nailed it once again. The way you end the chapters is interesting too, it’s really how an article and also a forum sounds like haha
"you’re the author for this pairing to me" oh my god anon i really cant overstate how touched i felt reading this 😭😭😭😭
please dont be sorry 🥹🥹 thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to me and share how you feel about my works 🫂 im really happy that you enjoyed all the fluff and my take on bn's dynamic!!! haha i do wish i wrote about bin meeting hao's "family" and also karina and matt's reaction to them dating and im sad i couldnt fit it into my outline 🥹
aa i'm glad to hear that bc i really do love seeing the irl bnb dynamic in your fics.
i am sincere when i say you've become one of my fave authors. you just get bnb and i appreciate it so much. i can just see the care you put not only in your works but in bnb as well. it just really translates over your works and i feel so grateful we have an amazing author like you in the fandom. so thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
youre such an angel T__T im so so happy that you consider me one of your favorite authors especially since i started to feel self conscious about how infrequently ive been posting 🥺🥺 thank YOU so much for making me feel appreciated and seen in the fandom, youre my motivation to keep writing and posting 🩷🩷
hi cordelia! just passing by to say i love your works so much!! you really have a way of writing bnb that i feel like describe them as they are and also idk the way you incorporate bnb lore into your fics.. so good.
also wanted to say i love you and your acc sm. i like seeing you on tl and when we do talk you're always so nice 🥺 hihi thank you!! i hope you have a great day !
thank you so much for taking the time to send me such a sweet message 🥺🩷🩷🩷 i always feel so happy when someone says they like my version of binneul and notices all the easter eggs i put in my fics, especially since capturing their irl dynamic is the thing i work on the hardest while planning out my fics!
i love you too and im sure our interactions are positive bc youre super nice and fun to talk to as well! i hope you have a great day too 🩷
idk if a word for encouragement... but I love you 🥺❤
looking forward to the 2nd part of your most recent haobin fic!
