jules 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 first of all, i'm very happy that we got hao and hanbin clearing things up properly in the past chapter and not just 'im sorry' and acting like nothing happened (i knew you wouldn't leave it at that heh ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ)
I'm also glad Hao got some alone healing thinking resting time (i don't really know how to call it to be honest) even if he wasn't so alone in the end hahah "even if we weren't fated to be together, i still would choose you again and again" i cried. (the world really is smaller than what we think ^ ^) i think at first i had a bit of trouble understanding hao's character but at some point i realized it's his journey of healing from trauma of course it's not easy and you can mess up and life in general isn't easy anyways! i even find his journey and approach to it were very remarkable (even if i misunderstood it, i learned from it any way so i'm glad)
all the dynamics were so lovely (i especially liked the ricky-hanbin and the maknaes with hao for no specific reasons :3) and the characters were so lovely and THE WEDDING WAS SO PERFECT!!!!!!!! you mixed pretty and silly (THE Shen Ricky with no shoes at his wedding hahahaha) and the result was awesome (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)♡ also hao getting the bouquet... i'm feeling just like reporter Kim Gyuvin 👀
Overall everything was just sooooo cute you can't help but feel all warm and fluffy ╰(´︶`)╯♡
i always feel a tiny bit sad when a work i really like is about to end (obviously) but i'm happy and so excited for the epilogue!!!!!!
also! your writing keeps getting better even if it was already amazing ♡ it's not always about using fancy words, but the emotions you pour into your craft makes it so unique and distinct and i think you keep solidifying this with each of your works (but still without being restricted by it if that makes any sense ㅜㅜ) and i can't help but be really impressed!!! you're amazing jules ˚✧₊⁎❝᷀ົཽ≀ˍ̮ ❝᷀ົཽ⁎⁺˳✧༚
i ended up yapping and i don't know if it made a lot of sense so sorry about that ㅠㅠ anyways, thank you for writing and sharing this with us!!!!! take care always!!!!!!!! have a nice week!!!!!!! see you!!!!! 🥟💗
dumpling!!! i'm so happy you're back~ i knew that i had to give hao some time by himself, and figure himself out, you know it's never too late for that ^^ the world is pretty small, eh, and i firmly believe that hao and bin will always find their way back to each other!! actually, writing messy characters is kind of my favourite thing,, i love creating characters that do things wrong ehehe, since i try to explore what it means to be human through my works :D and thank you for enjoying my dynamics!! these are some of my favourite ones ive written, but i think its because im getting better at writing with every fic, maybe? i hope so at least!!! thank you so much for all of your lovely words, dumpling, i'll keep reading them over and over and smiling widely every time!! (ㅅ´ ˘ `)♡♡♡♡

OH. MY. GOD. I found in the veil of love when it was around chapter 5 i think?? and the prompt immediately caught my attention but i wanted to wait until it was finished. Well i failed. This week i started the first chapter out of curiosity and I LOVEEDDD ITTTT i really enjoyed your writing so i keep on reading until i reached this last chapter 😭 and i have to say that even tho i expected (and even wanted) some angst IT HURT LIKE HELL. And that cliffhanger at the end somehow made it worse.
But now in all seriousness this fic is really really cute… the idea of hb being that committed to romance and everything it involves is perfect 😭 plus as i already said your writing style omg… im really looking forward to the last chapters and hoping they will make up. Please.
(Also sorry if any of this doest really make much sense english is not my first language hajehwjjej)
hi friend~ thank you for your enthusiasm!! also NEVER apologise for being bad at english, i have no respect for the language ^^ i'm kind of happy that i made your resolve fail to wait until the work was completed, though maybe at my current speed it won't be toooo long before the work is completely finished :D hoping to put out chapter 9 around the start of next week, so we'll see how well i do~ again, thank you so much for your lovely message!! <3

I've started trying to write a long romantasy BNB ff but everything I write ends up being so short, like what I consider to be the first chap is just 1800 words... Do you have any advice to fluff that up a bit ?
hey friend, thank you for the question. ♡ first of all, i don’t personally really believe in ‘fluffing up’ chapters, because something finished is finished~ but if you want to make your scenes feel more alive, i have a few tips!!
1) have your characters interact with their surroundings. so, if two people are in a conversation, have them do something—interact with an object, fuss with their hands or hair, or move somewhere. this way, characters are still interacting and conveying the message you want, while the scene feels more expressive and breathes more life.
1.5) also, the above tip also may help you contextualise where you’re characters are. earlier in my writing journey, i often wanted to write conversations but i didn’t place them in a physical space. generally don’t start with first describing the rooms, but sprinkle it in between. your readers know that if you say someone is taking a drink out of the fridge in the middle of the conversation to avoid answering a question, they’re probably not in the bathroom.
2) describe sensory experiences. don’t do this too often, but you can say that a character who is sitting in a cafe maybe hears the music and the chatter around them, and they may smell the freshly baked waffles. or someone walking outside may be chilly, and think about taking their scarf out of storage, or they’re hot and thinking about having an iced drink later.
3) lore-sprinkling ! and i use lore in the most broadest sense here. for fics that i’ve beta’d, the best tip i can give you—if it’s mentioned, then you can elaborate. so if people are talking about their weekend, you can go in depth about an awkward moment the main character doesn’t want to talk about. or if someone is walking past a bookstore, they can have a flashback to the time they bumped into their crush there and made a fool of themselves. it gives the reader a bigger understanding about the characters, their personalities, and their backstories. and since you’re writing a romantasy, maybe your character sees a dragon zipping around with a little backpack, and they can think back to the time they dreamed about becoming a postal worker with the dragons to deliver mail, but they found out they’re allergic to dragon scales.
these are just some broad tips that don’t necessarily are about fluffing up a chapter, but breathing more life into it. again, if you’ve already done all of this, then 1800 words is really a fine chapter. when we’re reading a book, we’re not surprised by a chapter that’s only 3 or 4 pages, so why should a fic be different? i hope this could help you a little bit, and i’m excited to see what you put out ^^

hii in case you'll wonder, i priv quoted your post abt the pearl heart physical book dont worry it's positive 😭😭😭
friend :) · 22d
hiii, there’s no pressure of course but i’m wondering whether you have an idea about when sea of stars will be finished?? :) i wanna read it sooo badly but i’m waiting til it’s finished 🥰
hey friend~ thank you for your question!! the goal was always to finish sea of stars before the year is up, but the whole situation with seunghan has shaken me a bit. as he plays quite a significant role in the fic, it has been a bit more difficult for me to write on it~ i'm sorry about that! if i can manage, i'd still like to finish it before christmas, but it does depend a bit on how the situation develops and how i feel :) thank you for your patience~

There is also a part in the fifth chapter where Hao’s age is said to be 31 but I guess it should be 34/35. I am so sorry if this is bothersome please ignore me. The work is so well done and reads like a 00s rom com I love it a lot !

i was going to come here to say i was so happy about hao warming up to hanbin and the wedding but i was scared for the next chapters because we're (we were) only at chapter 7 out of 12... guess you didn't let me be scared for too long lol (OvO) well... hum... that took a turn! ... i guess it wasn't warm enough.. IM SO SAD PLS ㅠㅠ hao... why.. i don't blame him i know he has trauma and complex feelings but that was.. harsh (;_;) i don't know if i want to see hanbin reaction after hao left... poor babies ( T_T)＼(^-^ ) Miss Kang is such a wise women i love her ♡ i feel sorry for her but she seems content with the life she's lived/living and her words were very comforting hehe
also!!!!!!!!!!!! today i went to the countryside and i saw the exact same house i was imagining while reading pearl heart?!$&?&?!! with the lake and the forest everything!!!!!!! i wish i could've taken a picture but we were on the road ㅜㅜ but it made me so happy somehow hehehe !!!!
anyways, haobin please be happy in every universe, even fiction lol ♡ take care too jules always!!!!! thank you for writing this story (and updating so fast ٩( ᐛ )و) you're amazing!!! see you soon and have a nice week! 🥟💗
sawry!!! things took a turn indeed, and i'm afraid this was always written into the plot of this fic... alas, after the rain comes sunshine, or something like that~ and yes, he has some trauma and some big, complex feelings, but i can promise that everything will be right as rain sooner rather than later :D and yes, i looove miss kang, love you elderly wise lesbian!! anyway, have a great week too dumpling and see you next time~ <3
ps. please let me know if the pearl heart house is for sale or not . . . /jk i just really want to live in a cabin like that ;--;
