Hello! first of all, I want to say that I like Real so much and I don’t think I will ever get over it. It’s ingrained in me and altered my brain chemistry. Also, no pressure at all, I am just curious, if you were to write your next fic, do you have a trope/premise you have in mind right now? Lastly, do you have a dream solboo storyline you want to read from other writers?
Hello!!!! Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! It means a lot to me too 😊 and ooh I have two Solboo wips in mind. One is a classic ver Yearning Special which is a musician au with Solboo being in a band together and Musical Soulmates™️ and the other is a trope fest Solboo (think forced proximity, only one bed, maybe even fake dating) hehehehe. And I have a gyuhao!!!!!
Dream Solboo storyline??? Hmm I love all Solboo tbh and every good fic I read is a treasure. I gravitate towards AUs more so I guess some AU setting that we haven’t really seen with them before?? And more hansollie pov in general 😛
just brainroot 😶😶😶 do you think vn would download dating apps after sk hanging a lot with his tall actor bf
I’m curious, how did you start liking or taking an interest in solboo? I absolutely love their relationship, whether it’s platonic or romantic (because honestly, we’ll never know for sure what it is).
Lately, I’ve been watching this married couple on YouTube who react to Going Seventeen episodes while teaching Korean words and slang used by Seventeen. It’s so adorable because they’re genuinely so fond of sb and they sometimes get all giddy watching them because sb reminds them of THEIR dynamic, especially in the second MBTI episode because it’s so heartwarming to see how Vernon effortlessly calms Seungkwan down and how deeply he knows him.
Their personalities complement each other so perfectly, it’s like they’re made to understand one another. Watching them reminds me of how vast the world is, yet there’s still the possibility of meeting someone whose soul feels so intricately connected to yours. It really feels like the concept of a soulmate brought to life. What’s even more amazing is the idea that they are so different and yet they get the same results on these tests because they apparently spent so much time together growing up and have likely adjusted to accommodate each other’s feelings and temperaments. Vernon even said that he wouldn’t have had that result if he hadn’t met seungkwan. I grew up with my bestfriends too but we do not end up having the same mbti results lol.
that is so cute!! i don't know the channel but that sounds very sweet, and a married couple identifying with solboo definitely tracks.
i've been thinking abt this ask for a while but i think i haven't even really fully processed the entirety of why i like them (besides what i've talked abt on twitter or spaces or explored in fic) because they really have SUCH an arc and so many multitudes that it all sort of comes together to form this all consuming fascination i have with them.
when i get into a new group i'm a youtube compilation girly to help get a feel of major events/memes/topics within that fandom and especially to get an idea of group dynamics quickly. i loved seungkwan (he's so my flavour) and verkwan compilations of course are a given. at first it was just interesting to see who this lovely boy was close to and then the contrast between a very (imo) queer presenting seungkwan and vernon's look at demeanour and the obvious closeness they had despite their many overt differences was so interesting (and yes ofc i was looking for ships)

to summarise how i became interested in/started liking solboo:
when i get into a new group i'm a youtube compilation girly, to help get a feel of major events/memes/topics within that fandom and especially to get an idea of group dynamics quickly. i loved seungkwan (he's so my flavour) and verkwan compilations were basically inevitable. at first it was just interesting to see who this lovely boy was close to (and ofc i was looking for shipping potential heheh) and then the contrast between a very (imo) queer presenting seungkwan and vernon's look and demeanour and the obvious closeness they had despite their many overt differences was so interesting
i think the more you learn about solboo (and svt in general) the more fascinating and loveable they become. first it was just the surface level stuff for solboo, and then the glimpses of their bond, but then also the documented changes they've gone through and how they literally grew up in content and yet somehow remain tethered to each other. same age friends yes but i don't think there's any denying they have a unique bond where are both particularly special to the other (even if you don't ship it or like to think abt them making out like ME) i love the way they interact with each other: seungkwan's desire to give overt affection and vernon's gamely tolerance of this despite his nature; vernon's STARING PROBLEM, the infamous sb baby talk and the genuine delight they have for each other, etc. it's all fascinating. i love the values and personality traits they share, and the marked (but strangely complementary) differences between them, and how they are in a constant state of flux and compromise between it all. it just got me hooked right away and has kept me fascinated ever since???
idk if that answers the question at all sorry

I love that this is something you had in mind! You can definitely tell. I usually avoid escort AUs entirely because the dynamics usually make me kinda uncomfortable but I had a feeling I'd enjoy your take on it. Great execution <3
Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you to say. It was originally just going to be smutty fun in which case I wouldn’t have been too concerned but they had their own ideas (I fear Solboo will always love each other no matter the universe) so I had to reconcile that. I’m glad you enjoyed and that it was fulfilling to you!!! Thanks for the trust
Hiii... sorry for coming here when i'm actually just keep on liking your post only and never comment anything... i actually have been waiting for yftw... any hint on when you will update ? Sorry if it sounds demanding, im not but just trying not to keep on refresh ao3 every once an hour... even though i've subscribe your work :)
Love you & whatever you'be been doing...
Hi, yftw isn't actually my fic it's Mishi's (retrospring.net/@mishi) so you have the wrong acc but the answer is she is very busy with real life and there's no timescale on an update! Writing fics is very time-consuming and can be super difficult. Maybe comment on the existing chapters about what you liked? That can be helpful to writers. Have a nice day!
hi !! happy new year!! i was hoping that someone knew what the name of a fic i read was. it’s solboo where vernon gets amnesia and decides he doesn’t wanna date seungkwan anymore. it had an entire part where vernon dated chan and seungkwan dated jun but it was endgame solboo. totally random but i know seungcheol was vernons brother. oof if you know the name i would be so grateful!! it has been plaguing my brain for days. thanks !!
I think I just want to see how you'll write how Hansol dealing with Seungkwan and all his sides (negative and positive). I feel like not many? Writers able to pull out great characters study like yours, so it's a wonder if you ever considered writing it down.
I wish you can write it from Hansol perspective 🥺🥺🥺 I want to know about his thought and everything.
im so curious omg what is vernons hypothetical job now or like what did u have in mind? and did he rly quit being an escort bc of seungkwan :”)
now after real you got me really thinking about hong jisoo escort au... i am having so many thoughts rn... this fic was so good istg thank you so much for your hard work and making time to write it despite a busy schedule !! i hope you have a nice holiday <3
I was bracing myself for devastation based on how you talked about your plans for Real on the sb space a little while ago but I thought the ending was so sweet <3 I love how you had boo heal on his own and lean on his friends and hansol just happened to fit perfectly into place after the fact. sb fate 🙂↕️ Thank you for the holiday update, love your work 💕 !!
OH hahaha sorry for stressing you out!! It was originally going to be kind of sad as I'm always skeptical of all out romance after escort aus just bc of the power dynamics but I'm actually really satisfied with the ending, I think it ties a bow on the fic in a way that's faithful to the process seungkwan goes through - what happens next is up to you guys!! thank you so much for the lovely comment <3
ver i am making a cup of coffee and rereading real from the start so that i can fully lock in.... u don't know what this means to me i have not been the same since the first chapter dropped i am real by ao3 user veriest no.1 fan.... 2024 officially saved and it is because of you :D i hope solboo never become normal bc you and the other lovely solbooist writers are keeping me sane ♡ have a good one i am diving in
Hiii just wondering when real will update. No rush at all I love ur writing and v thankful 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️ I check everyday hehe
Hi ver!! I have been rereading Real since you’ve been talking abt chapter 3 and I have a question you may have already answered 🥴 in chapter 2 were you envisioning a particular photoshoot for Seungkwan that everyone goes crazy over? It’s got me wondering!!!
