hi rori!! i hope all is as well as can be. no question here just appreciation. first of all thank you for the hard work and labor you put into this beautiful new chapter. ive been through so many things this year, way too many things.. and every time i lay down and feel like it’s too much now i need to go to my fav place, i reread loa. i cant believe there’s just 1 chapter left. this yoonmin will live in my heart & mind forever & i am beyond lucky to be your reader. thank you for everything and take care 💜
hi, anon! first of all. i'm so sorry to hear you've had a tough time lately. as someone who's also been going through a lot recently, i get it. life is complicated, but i sincerely hope it starts treating you gentler soon! x
to hear loa provides a sense of safety and comfort for someone means the absolute world to me! i can only hope i can achieve that with future work, too. thank you for your support, anon! always
Hey ri how are you doing? So excited for chap 18! Just wondering, are there any other stories you’ll write? 👀 i would definitely love to read anything comes out of your brain 🤓
hi hi. there is one other story i really want to write, which has been brewing in my mind for a while now. it's quite a unique concept, i believe, and im very interested to explore it. but if i do end up working on it, it will likely be a lot shorter than loa and i'll publish it only when it's completed.
i made the mistake of posting loa as i write and it's a struggle – both with updating within a time frame that'd sustain readers' interest, and with engagement—unfortunately, i've noticed people are generally more supportive of finished works than ongoing ones, which can be demotivating for writers.
i'm also uncertain about which pairing to use, as I really like both yoonmin and jikook, and the concept of the fic could fit either. we shall see.
thank you for being so very supportive, though. it really means a lot to me. x
if u just know how i excited I am knowing chap 18 will be there soon! but, a question if u dont mind, is there a date when that chap will drop? estimated, smth like that, bcs Ill cry if I cant read it right away after it dropping since this upcoming week ill be very busy till nov 8 as my group will compete againts other lmao (its abt research so is kinda boring) and yeah. EITHERRRRRRRRR WAYYYY, ill still be happy in the end.. ok sorry for the word vomit LMAO! anw, how r u ri? any update abt u smth smth?
hi! the goal is to have it up by the end of the month, but i can't give an exact date because i often do last-minute edits—especially with this chapter, since it's the second to last. i really want it to turn out well, and once again, it's ended up longer than I planned (as usual). thank you so much for anticipating it though.
i'm doing okay, thank you for asking. my calendar is overflowing a bit, but i'm powering through it 💪 i'm trying to do better with how i manage my time.
good luck in the competition, i hope you and your team smash it!
im so excited for chap 18 omg 😭
Arianna Maya was the writer who recommended loa!
a writer recommended loa to me on retrospring. do you have a rec for people who enjoy the themes from loa?
oh, that's nice. mind sharing who that kind soul was?
as for recs...frankly, i haven't read fanfic a whole lot lately because my time's been very limited and i try to prioritize writing until i wrap up loa, so i can't give a ton of recommendations. however, the one most fresh in my mind is A Hummingbird in Hand (unfortunately by Anonymous author). it isn't with the exact same themes from loa and do be mindful of the tags before reading, but it does share some tropes and the dynamic between jimin and yoongi is extremely hawt. it's honestly an incredible ongoing work and i'd recommend it to anyone with a preference for more primal behavior in an omegaverse setting and a ton of tension between the main pairing. there's a lot of pining, too, which is chef's kiss.
hope that helps any!
what did you have for dinner last night?
im the previous anon that had just their birthday, and damn! IM SO EXCITED ALREADY JDIDKEKSJDKJEKD KEKEKEKE IT GIVE ME BOOST OF ENERGY!! thank u for that small peek, I appreciate it huhu! I was running low on energy due to the constant overworks of my uni and the on going research I still need to conduct... so thank you, really, it means a lot!!
i luv ur creativity and ur sexy brain, is ur grandfather perhaps name namjoon?
's my birthday today, 09/28. Any sneak peek for loa?
Happy belated birthday, anon!
I'm usually not a fan of sneak peeks because 1) they can ruin some of the fun (aka spoilers), and 2) I'm quite protective of my drafts because I tend to edit a lot till the very end, especially when I'm not entirely happy with the writing. But since we're nearing the end and I've never tried it before, might as well give it a shot this once. Will put an excerpt of one of the scenes up on twitter. Let me know what you think!
is gonna be more fun if you keep the smut consistency (we're being spoiled) and then add of after care of fluff there and then, I think it's gonna be more fun that way. We're so hungry about loa's smut scene but hungry about fluff too...
MISSING U RIIII, HOW R U? (◕દ◕)
hi, anon. i'm busy, but well. a lot's been going on and i'm juggling as per usual, but i've been challenging myself to live more in the present and appreciate the small things, so i'm quite content. also, autumn's here which is a big 'yay' in my calendar. cozy, gloomy weather and zero obligation to be out and socialize is chef's kiss for a tired soul. more time for writing and reading, too! hooray
how are you?
in response to ur question, is it unhelpful if i say a bit of both 🤭 i would definitely love to see more of the gooey fluff that’s so loa yoonmin, but i don’t think you should tone down the spice! you can keep it as it is, with sprinkles of fluff here and there.
missing loa sm
was writing till midnight yesterday. it's coming along well.
it's good you're here, actually, because you could help me with an opinion on something - im contemplating whether to include several more sex scenes in the next chapter, but i fear it might get too much, especially after the previous one being only that 🫨
would you like to see more spice or should i tone it down a bit and make it more fluff-y? the next two chapters wrap things up plot-wise but i still want to make them exciting.
