hey! i'm writing an ateez fic (https://archiveofourown.org/works/54256189), which is inspired by pretty woman but also heavily inspired by every penny, specially in the first chapters. i was wondering if i could list it as inspired by every penny (or if you'd feel more comfortable if i don't write it at all. it diverges a lot as the story goes, but i'd understand if you didn't like it anyway).
hello hi! i'm so so sorry for only seeing this now and i hope you see this response. please feel free to write your fic!!! whether or not you list every penny is totally up to you but i'm not uncomfortable at all with you being inspired by every penny. quite the opposite honestly!
Pleaaaase please omg livetweet all your boys planet thoughts ive been dying to know what you would think of the show and boys on there for so long!! <3
aljskdf;l ka well lucky you i've been doing just that! though i've kept it all in a single thread so that the people who don't want to hear it/be annoyed by my opinions can easily mute it. i don't know that my thoughts are super compelling though; mostly i'm just completely enamored with jongwoo (who i lovingly refer to as my baby bin) and also i completely despise that signal song. but i'm excited to watch more and see how things progress!! (and am selfishly glad i already know the outcome so i can be emotionally prepared with my attachments.)
Came here to say (because I'm shy to slide into your dms) that you're an absolutely amazing writer! You wrote 2 of my fav skz pairings and i want to worship you for this. I'm extremely picky with this fandom fics because I look for high quality stuff and you are one of the best writers I have come across! your work inspired me to write my own story and I have yours as reference but it is impossible to reach your godlike level. I know this question is very generic but what's your best advice for beginners?❤️
asldkfjalskdjfoiwue;a oh my gosh you wonderful sweet person!! this absolutely made my day and i'm so so sorry i didn't see this sooner. i hope you don't feel i've been ignoring you; i'm just awful at checking rs sometimes. this message has just made my whole entire week.
as for advice, oh gosh. idk that i'm qualified to give any!! i can say the #1 rule for myself is to write what i want to read and what makes me happy. i also find that having another set of eyes and ears to bounce thoughts and ideas off of is not only really helpful but SO much fun and honestly that's really what fic writing is all about - FUN. there are so many differing opinions on what makes "good/great" writing but i feel like you can determine that for yourself so just focus on enjoying the process and on making something YOU like. gahhhh, i'm so excited for you!!
this is me playing armchair dr so you can totally ignore this, but have you ever looked into getting a sleep study done ? because i used to feel like that as well and then i found out i had sleep apnea
i have thought about this, yes! though, honestly, i think it's also likely due to sleeping with 2 dogs, one of whom likes to stretch her legs out and push her big-ass feet into the middle of my spine at least two or three times a night. unfortunately, we're far past the point where i'm able to not allow them to sleep on my bed so i need to figure out how to deal with it i guess 😬
ao3 user dispro here again to say i listened to your playlist to and from work today and 1. love that we have identical music tastes 2. thank you for introducing me to luminous idk how ive never listened to them before but i LOVE their music now
ahhh hi hi!! oh my gosh i'm so pleased you found some enjoyment in that playlist!! and AHHH YESSS. luminous are SO GOOD. they started popping up in my daily mixes a couple months ago and i fell in love with them immediately. there's SO so good. i feel like they're really flying under the radar right now but i'm hopeful they'll get a break soon; i love their stuff so much!
you're not annoying!!! why would you say that!! you are one of my favorite twitters and i love seeing all your thoughts and snippets of your every day life!!!
oh gosh, anon, you are so sweet!! i just got all embarrassed from spouting my opinions on ships and was overcome with a moment of, 'oh god no one cares, joy, SHUT UP!!!" but this message made me smile, thank you for being so sweet. <3
Hi! I think the link to the 🦊🥟 fic rec was the wrong one ;; it was a ch4nlx! Do you have the link to the 🦊🥟 one? I'm just always looking for more of them hehe
ahh, just fixed it but you can also find it here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29976369 thank you for letting me know. (i have those two fics bookmarked back-to-back on my ao3 and my brain is tired and dumb lol.)
i am terrified of being perceived unfortunately, but i hope you had an absolute blast tonight!! also . if you were by any chance in club seating and sat at a table in the bar/dining area . I may have sat at a table near you . Could not confirm because im not certain what you look like . Either way i hope you have a lovely rest of your time in LA!!! -ao3 user dispro
ahhh i was not! however i did have some friends who sat in that area so you may have seen them. i hope you had an AMAZING time and i'm so so pleased i was even in the general physical area as you lol. you've brought so much light into my life!
omg twitter user rhythmsextion I didnt know you were coming to skz in LA 😭 I’m so excited to see that like all of my favorite stayo3 writers are going!! i hope youre going to both dates, itd be so cool if i got to go to the same show as you sunday (this is ao3 user dispro btw!!)
yes! hi!! we ARE going to sunday's show, yes!! i'm so excited you're going to be there!! do you have any desire to be perceived? if so, i know a ton of people (myself included!) who would absolutely LOVE to meet you, i'm sure. (and no pressure if not!!)
Bread pasta rice potatoes... rank them? 👀
OHHHH MY GOSH THIS IS BRUTAL. OK HERE WE GO.
THIS WAS SO HARD WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS????
Top 5 skz that you would recommend to someone who has picky music taste?
oh man i don't know what "picky" would even entail! everyone's picky in different ways! so i'll just go with 5 of my own essential skz tracks and hope that fits the bill.
What's your fav doggie memory?? Any fun times with the babies to share?
oh gosh, i don't know that i have one singular memory i could count as best! it's going to sound mushy as hell but, as difficult as it was to get used to, i now actually LOVE sleeping with these nerds. joon tends to sleep near the foot of the bed and usually rests her head on my ankle/shin at the start of the night while kaja settles up closer to my upper back/shoulders. the other night she had her feet like right by my head which didn't bother me too much until she started dreaming KICKED ME IN THE FACE lololll. this morning i woke up at one point because joon had hiccups and she was pressed right against me so i could feel her jerking, my sweet baby. i love that shit.
sometimes they switch places in the middle of the night or i'll wake up with kaja's face smashed into the small of my back and they're slowly starting to NOT go absolutely crazy first thing in the morning and will lick and nuzzle me instead of trampolining on my stomach which is nice.
other then the sweet sleeping part i'm just so SO happy that bringing kaja into our family accomplished exactly what we were hoping it would. we were really hoping getting another dog would help joon grow some confidence and make her grow more "dog-like" instead just being a little ball of anxiety 24/7. and, though it took a bit, it ABSOLUTELY worked. little joon is SUCH a dog now. she gets excited about meal times and can drink water on her own and has even (finally!!) learned some commands and tricks and she's clearly so so SO much happier with kaja around. the two of them together are just so endlessly precious it makes my heart full EVERY DAY. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
Any thoughts or feelings about changbin?
ahahahahahaha NO. NONE. WHY WOULD YOU ASK??? my brain is an endless embarrassing stream of screaming and salivating when it comes to him. NO COHERENT THOUGHTS ONLY SUFFERING
what is your favorite thing you've ever written?
oh gosh, this is actually really really hard! i think it might be a 3-way tie between 'Two Weddings and Wingman' (skz, endgame seungsung) just because it was SO much fun to write, 'Of Office Plants & Eggplants' (bts - vmon) because sometimes i'll reread it and it makes me giggle, or Hail Mary (j2) because it's the longest full fic i've ever written and very very ambitious but i'm pretty proud of how much i was able to cover and the emotional beats i hit.
weird question but can you share a link to your fth offer? i scrolled through the kpop tagged ones and couldn’t seem to find it 😅😅
not a weird question at all! mine's here: https://fth2023offerings.dreamwidth.org/141131.html there's an amazing amount of contributors so it can be difficult to find a particular one.
