hi seungminator just want to say that I love your works <3 you're one of the greatest inspirations in my life in terms of both writing and attitude :3 I was wondering how you get ideas for your fics because they're always so hilarious and interesting! I struggle especially with writing the logical development of a story's plot so I would appreciate some advice with that too :] LOVE YOU SM BYE
oh my gosh. oh my gosh that genuinely might make me happy cry haha while i never really think of myself as an inspiration, to think that people look at me and see good things makes me really, really happy. thank you for saying that!! in terms of fic ideas, it really comes from everywhere. some are inspired by social media posts (out of body experience), some by things in my life (love lines), some by other media (no courage), and some just by… stuff. like i have this one random line that i REALLY want to develop into a full fic next year that i just kind of thought of? or remembered from somewhere. anyways, the answer about ideas is vague and unhelpful, but hopefully my plot development answer will be more useful. my biggest thing is TENSION BETWEEN CHARACTERS. there has to be some reason - an existing situation, something that is created over the course of the story, or an outside force that is preventing the characters from getting what they want (in my case, since i write romance, each other.) to use the examples i gave earlier, out of body experience is an existing circumstance - soobin is dead. pretty tough to date a dead guy. love lines has a conflict that comes up during the course of the story - beomgyu thinks that he can’t confess because taehyun only offered to marry him as a friend, and now that he’s developed feelings he thinks he might be breaking that offer. no courage is an outside force - there’s a war, and that’s the biggest problem keeping the characters from getting together. each of these conflict types (there are many more) offer unique options for solutions, which is where you can really get creative (yay mini muffins!!) this is just my personal theory on writing and plot. a lot of other writers do it differently, but i hope this helps at least a little!! thanks for inboxing me and happy comeback day :)

https://x.com/seung3000/status/1852380151444627935 trust then that an ot5 centric poly fic is on the way too? 🥺
i really truly wish that i was big brained enough for poly but i am NOT. my brain just doesn’t?? understand?? like i can’t wrap my head around multiple people in a relationship it’s just too complex and there’s too much going on. while i would love to do an ot5 poly fic, i really don’t think i could do it justice. poly in general just doesn’t compute in my brain for some reason :/

psspp seung, do you participate for this event https://x.com/4uppuz/status/1849009073725079725?t=176cRVkTEPrYPP8ExtyFmQ&s=19
hi!! honestly not sure what this is - some sort of fest maybe? i can’t quite tell from just perusing the page lol. i’m honestly booked out for the year as far as fics go, and hoping to take at least a little break in the new year. this looks interesting though!!

i was re-reading some of your old fics like Love-lines + taking it to grave+ all of the royal exchange fics and it makes me feel so good :)) domestic ynbn really were the best esp ur ver of found family xtx with oblivious yj X 'there's no way someone doesn't like you hyng, have u seen urself?' sb ft wise the bg whos about to smash their heads to kiss (and smash tyun) and baby kai. Just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh I feel like as someone who doesn't read xtx that much anymore you really are the best author to get back into them/ re-read old fics. sorry this is just turned into a ramble about you but yours fics get me so soft :( :), thank you sm
ah i’m so glad to hear that my fics make you happy :) truly one of my greatest accomplishments in life is knowing that my silly little hobby makes people happy. i’m clearly a fan of those tropes hahaha seeing as they crop up again and again in my work - and that comment about beomgyu made me LAUGH. kai is my little dude :’) honestly, if i can reel you back into the txt trap that’s awesome hahaha thank you so much for messaging me!! what a lovely inbox to receive this morning :) thank you and i hope you’re having a great day <3

who is the txt author turned zb1 author? i just got into zb1 so looking for recs!
hi!! i’m not sure exactly which author the previous anon was referring to, but i also know my friends hana (shadowdrifter_ on twt) and annon (afradioactive on twt) are on the zb1 train. i can vouch for the fact that they’re both fantastic authors!!

Wait sorry if this has been asked already but is there a reason you don’t write smut? I love your fics I’m just curious
hi!! i do think i answered this a while back, and i’ll be fr - i was planning on lying my ass off this time hahaha but since hybe yaoigate happened, in the spirit of honesty, i’ll give you the real answer. (good timing with your question, btw.) i have two smut fics floating around out there on anon because i thought i should try writing it to see if i liked it or not. i haven’t come to a complete consensus, but i think for now im still of the opinion that it’s just not for me. im a very story driven writer, and i think there are very few fics that demand smut. that’s not a dig against writers that do include it - and they do a much better job than i did, im sure!!

feel free to not answer this because i don't want you to receive hate(?) or anything but do you ship beomjun? (romantically)
hi!! this is a great question. while i’ve been mainly a yeonbin and taegyu author at my core, im in very much of a “the more the merrier” mindset these days. i actually have had a beomjun idea that i want to write that i haven’t gotten around to yet - hopefully next year!! i would love to write at least one fic for every pairing just for fun.

first of all, i'm sorry for talking about another author in front of an author 😭🙏 it's just that my fave author just turned to be a zb1 author, we can't lose you 😭
don’t worry!! ofc i don’t mind other authors being brought up - most of my friends here are authors too!! i love to see them grow and change interests and evolve over time, but i think i’ll be hanging around here for quite a while. when i get stuck with something, im in it for the long haul hahaha. also this is in no way a dig at zb1, but to me music always comes first when im stanning a group, and while ive liked a couple of their songs their music in general is just not my taste. ask me again next year, though, because my music taste is always changing lol

Hi! sorry to bother u but what app is this ? https://x.com/seung3000/status/1848761680202731840?t=ijsFG4q-2BTqp9lPVDfEIA&s=19
hi!! gonna preface this the same way i did with the other question i got about this app today, but i am not planning on making a full transition to bluesky until twitter legitimately goes down/there is a genuine mass exodus to another platform. i’m keeping that bluesky account more as a placeholder just in case - bluesky is basically a twitter alternative that isn’t run by a complete psycho. feel free to follow me there, but just know i probably won’t post much outside of my fics!!

if we had an ao3 wrapped no courage withour fear would probably be my most visited fic on there of all time. the way it's brightened up and given me comfort on some of my worst days :) i keep on telling myself that i need to write the longest comment to u ever about it but that fic is so near and dear to my heart i genuinely think nothing i will ever say will compare to the way your words have made me feel. in the meantime please have this and im sorry for not writing you the comment you deserve
oh my gosh!! what a lovely, lovely comment. i’ll never really know what draws so many people to that fic over my other ones, but to hear that it brightens your day when you’re having a rough time truly means the world to me. i started writing because i love it, but i keep writing because you guys love it :) no worries whatsoever on being late to comment, because i am always so so happy to hear that people are enjoying the work i put into my fics - no matter when they’re reading them. i hope i can keep bringing you joy in the future, and have a great day <3

here to humbly beg for an october ynbn spoiler cause it's almost the end PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 😭 (if u want to no pressure tho 😭) also unrelated but i will miss the monthly ynbn so bad after ur done with it i won't have anything to look frwrd to at the end of my months (not saying this in a weird way just trying to thank you 😭 because you've genuinely made my last few months so much more bearable and also the email notification from u abt end of month ynbn was probably the only thing that had me hanging onto the rpf community by a thread) thank you so much for doing this again ur genuinely the savior of the ynbn community 😝
hi!! i know i got lenient last month hahaha but unfortunately this month im sticking to my guns. october’s yeonbin has a fun supernatural element, so i’m saving it for halloween!! you can expect the phone photoshopped teaser on oct 30 :) sorry to disappoint, but i promise it’ll be worth the wait!! probably. it’s like, a dumb fic, but i think it’s hilarious personally.

hii r u also getting sucked into the zb1 queerhole 😭 SORRYEHDBDSH i just wanted to ask because it's rare to see a xtx writer to even talk about them yk likehdhd
ill admit that “getting sucked into the zb1 queerhole” was not a sentence i was expecting to read today, but i respect your linguistic creativity!! i actually think there’s a decent amount of crossover between the txt audience and the zb1 audience (the venn diagram is gay people) and ive started visiting on that side just to see what’s going on. i did watch the show so i saw all of the homosexual fuckery that went down over at mnet, but ill admit i haven’t kept up much with the group since then. i listen to every comeback, as i try to do with most groups, but i wouldn’t say im IN the queerhole. i have, like, a toe dipped in the queerhole and im peeking in every now and then. keita was my pick btw 🥲

Hi author! Sorry to bother T^T but may I ask what the 💙☁️ app is called? 🥹 I really want to be able to catch up to your amazing works 🫶🏻💞
hi yes!! i will preface by saying that im not planning to make a permanent shift over there or really even use that account unless twitter completely goes down, so that’s more for emergency purposes. that being said, you can find me on bluesky with the exact same @ that i have on twitter. i should be listed as something like seung3000.bsky.social if you want to come find me!!
seungminion · 16d
would you be okay if someone made fic banners for your fics?
i’ll be so honest i don’t know what this entails - but i’m always so happy and honored when people make art or playlists or really anything inspired by my work, so sure!! tag me in it or shoot me another retro with a link so i can see 🥺
