hi gwen, idrk why i'm writing this but i read kim suhwan vs the world a few months ago and it's been stuck in my head ever since. it really resonated with me... ig i relate to your peyz a lil too much lmaoo. i keep finding myself rereading the fic and constantly thinking about it. so i guess i'm writing this message cause i wanted you to know how much i love this fic, it's so good in a way i've never felt about any other fic. extra question: how do you find the inspiration to write fics? cause i have all these ideas in my head but i can't really get them out on paper or a doc. i also find planning out the plot kinda of difficult, any tips? anyways, have a great day!

hello anon and im so sorry for the delayed response!! aagh kim suhwan vs. the world is honestly such a special fic to me (i shed tears when i finished it because it just,, meant so much and it was so weird to be done it since it took up a good 3-ish months of my life i guess??) so this submission was honestly very heartwarming to read :] my peyz in there is uhh very ooc from irl peyz but... shit just got out of hand and i love him regardless. hey, its okay, as an rpf writer i accept some of my characterizations are hella wrong. but thank you so much again for loving the fic 🥹🥹🙏 it means a lot to me

when it comes for inspiration to write i honestly... struggle a lot too LOL. when i get ideas i try to jot them down somewhere, even if its just 1-2 lines (i have docs upon docs of just. that. some of which i will never write, some which i will; that's just the way things go!) and to tell you a secret i honestly also just. don't plot out a lot. oftentimes my fics start out with one or two scenes i have rotting in my brain, before i decide to flesh it out. that basically means i write more random scenes non-chronologically and eventually link them up, or as im writing or thinking i form a sort of outline in my head. like ksvstw at least started out with a plot idea of peyz having a one sided crush on peanut (whereas many of my other fics will literally just start out with dialogue) which was not even my idea but the person i gifted the fic for on ao3, nephrite! but my point is like... you don't need a plot to start writing. you can figure that out later; not a lot later, but it will come naturally. im not sure if my advice is helpful at all im so sorry shfdksf😭 i guess its just a learning process! again i still struggle with motivation to write too,, but you got this anon i am rooting for you!!
