you mean you are taking a little small baby break for one year and then you will start working on masterpieces again because i know for a fact you can’t stop forever (please don’t i will literally die i am not joking even if you are stopping forever lie to me)
I could never stop writing forever. The urge to write is in my blood, it's in my bones, it's in my sinew. I started when I was 9 and I will never fully stop. But I don't want to get burnt out again, so I'm taking a break that will last however long it needs to.
Your words are sweet, however, and slightly concerning. My existing fics are there for you in tough times, I hope if you come back to them after long enough, they can be like new to you as they sometimes are to me. If not, there are still many lovely writers out there who will provide you with new stories to get lost in, I'm sure. ^^
ARE YOU ACTUALLY RETIRING FROM WRITING 😭
I have decided to give my brain, my muse and my inspiration a chance to recharge, so I have retired.
The past few months I found that I was pushing myself to write even when I was actually too mentally drained to do it properly, and so I have also been putting out less 'interesting' things in my own opinion. Therefore I decided to give myself a break. And in order to give myself a proper break, I really had to decide to quit for now.
How long this will last I don't know. Once the inspiration grabs me by the throat and drags me through a fic again like it used to, you will see me return. I know it won't be forever because when I don't write for too long, it starts to itch.
I’m really curious about your favorite ship to write about? I know you love all of the but give me the one specific ship that you feel more giddy about
why do you have retired on your name
what is mojito doing right now (pls add pics if possible)
how dare you
Hi versity, when are u planning to feed us with Hyvnsvng stories?
We really missed them a lot 😞
Hi darling! I'm afraid there hasn't been a lot of writing going on these days because I've been working on my thesis and trying to graduate. Perhaps once the summer holidays start I will write again but I can make no promises, as my real life is going to go through some major changes. Feel free to reread my existing ones, though I'm aware it's not the same <3
oh youre right there is a chan pov, sorry! i'm a little airheaded sometimes HSJSJ but yeah i meant to ask moreso about his thoughts on his and hyunjins relationship, the friend group as a whole, and hyunjin's feelings for jisung. the part where hyunjin wonders if chan would ever get tired of dealing with his friend group shenanigans got me wondering if there'd be another chan pov. thank you for answering my question regardless! i love that he's super supportive of hyunjin to the point of caring about jisung a little and being good friends with changbin, thats wholesome af. <3
Yeah, he really sort of stumbled into it all and kind of tries his best to be a good s/o to Hyunjin while also attempting to befriend the others. MinBin were easy, but he's much in the same boat as Changbin when it comes to Jisung - hence why they're good friends.
He's okay with Hyunjin's feelings for Jisung because Hyunjin treats Sung like a best friend and no more, and has never given the impression that he wanted to be more either. Besides, everyone in the little family of four seems a little more closely tied together than friends usually are, so Chan just sort of goes with the flow of them and tries his best to fit in. Hyunjin also ventures into his side of the social circle and tries his best to get to know him better, even if NFR didn't touch on it, so it's not like he's only giving and getting nothing in return.
Chan won't get tired of dealing with Hyunjin's friendgroup because he doesn't consider it 'dealing with' so much as just 'getting to know'. In the future, as Jisung mellows out and opens up more once he starts properly dating Felix and having had plenty therapy, things will also grow less tense because everyone else will be able to relax and stop being afraid of what might be wrong with him.
That aside, thank you so much for reading my little fics and asking me questions about them, I'm always happy to talk about my stories! 😊💕
hii i just read neon fairy lights and loved it! just wanted to ask if you have any thoughts on a chan pov in there? i would love to know more of his thoughts since we got a good chunk of the rest of their povs through the whole thing!
Sweating profusely as I try to figure out whether I gaslit myself into thinking there is a Chan pov in NFR. Isn't there?
If you mean that in his pov there isn't much said about his thought process, that's honestly because he's not a super well-worked out character in that fic, I'll admit to it freely. But I think his pov is mainly that he loves Hyunjin, who he knows struggles with his feelings about Jisung, but that he likes what he and Hyunjin have and just wants to be there for and support his boyfriend. He's great friends with Changbin, too, but mainly the rest of his social life is outside of the flowershop and tattoo shop people I think. ^^
thank you so much for the drabble!!! i absolutely adore how you write, and the emotions come across beautifully TT <3
aaa if ur still taking drabble requests either 2min or seungjin drabble perhaps?
how are you doing?
I'm doing alright, thank you. Real life has been coming for my throat in several different ways but luckily I can escape into the fic world to find some peace and softness. Things are also slowing down again and easing up, so here's to better days ahead!
I hope your week has been treating you gently, and that you'll have a wonderful weekend ahead. 🥰♥️
whats ur writing process like? do u prefer to write one thing and develop the plot from there or come up with a plot and flesh it out from there? end first, or in order? those types of things are fun to know ngl
I write like I've been possessed by my characters. I get a vague story idea, or a specific scene, or a single line of dialogue, I start writing wherever the first word begins and then I just go.
I plot the absolutely zero anything ever. Most I have is some reminders of things I wrote earlier on in the story so I won't forget by the end or write inconsistencies. If I have a finished idea in my head, my brain does not think it's necessary to write it anymore so I have to keep myself in suspense as well until the very end! lmao
For the same reason, I also write in order. That is, in the order you guys get the fic when I post it. So if there's flashbacks or time's out of sorts, I write that as it appears as well, not chronologically. Only very, very occasionally will I skip maybe 3 ending paragraphs of a scene to write the next one when inspiration is so intense it bugs me, but you could literally read the story along as I write it.
I also edit very little at the end. I usually just go through for spelling, occasionally edit a line here or there, but it's always minor. My brain sort of ejaculates these words onto the doc and then I post that to ao3. Have fun with the mental image of that 😂😂😂😂
