hi kay!!! big fan, love your work!! i was hoping to get into writing by maybe entering a fest and i was hoping you could answer my burning question!!
i have a prompt, but its a self prompt. i checked the sign up prompt form and there's nothing on there about claiming your own prompt. would we put we want to claim our own prompt in the description of the prompt description? or would we email the fest admin directly and tell them you want to claim your own prompt? i'm so sorry if any of that is confusing 😭 and thank you so much for your help!! blowing kisses up to you, sweet kay!!

kay, you wonderful human, you. you're an incredibly gifted writer, and it's evident you put a lot of care into every single word you use in your works. if i could ask: WHEN do you stop torturing yourself with rewrites? 😭 i keep trying to let them go, to think they're good enough, but one wrong word and next thing i know, im rewriting an enter paragraph! when do you stop and assure yourself that what you've written is good enough? - asking for a writer friend whos been stuck on the same pages for too long and just can't seem to trust themselves or the quality of their work at all
oh lovely, i'm sorry to say that i actually... don't rewrite (or, at least, very rarely) !! i take a lot (too much...) of time to build the sentences on the very first try (even though i do try to spend less time on some parts, especially lately since i'm writing 4 fics at the same time... going crazy) so I usually just spend my time "rewriting" the current sentence/paragraph in my head before i actually write it. it's not the best method because i take way too much time to write 1k but at the same time it's the only one that works for me, because if i were to rewrite it, i'd scratch absolutely everything (oop). When im not sure about a sentence/paragraph, though, i usually highlight it and come back later !
so i'd say maybe just highlight the parts you think need tweaking and if there's too many, i'd say it's also your brain playing tricks on you!!! we're our very worst critics as creators, and sometimes we have those periods when absolutely nothing we write sounds good to our own ears.
also, maybe, read your part out loud? sometimes i do it before i write because i kind of like to play with the sentence's lengths (so it doesnt sound too monotonous). sometimes just adding very short or 1-word sentence to paragraphs changes a lot!
good luck, you got this!!!!!!!!!!!! and thank you so much for your lovely words, i appreciate you so much <3

the way you write vmin has me insane and feral in the best way. the teasing, them being fully whipped for each other especially taehyung, the bit of almost codependency sometimes mixed in and the devotion between them. that's the good stuff. i'll happily consume your stories for breakfast lunch and dinner they're just too good
oh youre the loveliest !! its honestly so fun to write them being so obsessed with each other (in the best way), and i've recently fallen into the possessive taehyung pit (very grateful for that) so, expect even more madness (passionate love) soon!! hope you'll enjoy the works that'll come out eheh

Saying seeing writers write another ship makes you vomit is so unnecessarily rude and weird. And tbh it sucks to see vminies talk that way cause to me it always seemed like we were one of those shipper groups that happily interacted with other shippers and didn't get toxic. It's disappointing to see that changed for some. I do love me a vmin-filled tl but I'll also hype tf out of my jikook/minimoni/taekook/taejin/whoever moots when they post their stories. That's what makes fandom fun. Everyone sharing what they like and hyping each other up instead of being so judgy. I hope the toxic shippers stay far away and people learn to appreciate writers and artists and respect that they might wanna explore some other ships as well. And if anything isn't it kinda great we have so many ships? Just shows to me all bts members have great relationships.
unfortunately i've seen this happening in the past 3-4 years (them not standing mainly jikook/taekook ship art/writing) so its not new for me but its definitely saddening that nothing has changed... and honestly!! we need more people thinking like you eheh and respect all works regardless of ships. honestly theres already a weaker number of creators left so why push them away for such childish takes, ill never understand, hopefully they do stay away from creators...

I'm sorry if you're getting weird reactions to writing/drawing/liking other ships. I just don't get it. Personally I tried getting into other jimin and tae ships, especially vmk since it's popular, but sadly it wasn't for me. I still appreciate their bond tho even if i don't like to talk or read about it in a sexual or romantic way. For some reason i can only ship vmin with each other and that's fine. Just like it's fine other people do ship vmin with other members. I don't get why people are policing each other over what dynamics they can or can't enjoy. Like maybe i don't agree with a take on my tl about jikook having sexual tension but i just scroll on like everyone should if they don't like something. It feels like especially writers and artists are the targets people really be like GOD FORBID YOU CREATE ART OR STORIES ABOUT A SHIP I DON'T LIKE. It sucks. Anyway i appreciate you, i appreciate all my lovely one ship only and multiship fellow writers and i hope whoever might have given you or someone else a dumb reaction for liking other ships has a shitty day
oh lovely, don't worry!! and as you understood it, i was talking about some immature reactions to us writers sharing/writing other ships (someone was talking about never interacting with writers that ship vmin with other people because its "wrong" and makes them "vomit" and they "needed to cleanse to tl"... it really was unnecessarily rude and crazy, that's why i felt the need to remind those who might be following me with this mindset to kindly get off of my account eheh) and you have a very respectful approach to this, which i wish everyone (especially just readers) would adopt, unfortunately its not the case... like you said, its normal if you're not into a ship, youre gonna ignore and its all gonna be fine! we all have preferences <3 thank you for being so lovely and coming to spread positivity, i appreciate you and your words sm!!

I just re-read OBAL and cried again during the part where Jimin, if he had a choice to be human, would still turn it down because that would mean saying goodbye to Taehyung. The line about the thought shooting through his mind like an arrow and how he caught himself realizing that he could never let him go and I was like damn… that type of eternal love is painful. Like here’s his reincarnated soulmate right in front of him and yet still he cannot let Tae go despite how much pain he brought to him. And then there’s Tae who, for the first time in his long life, apologizes to Jm and it was so sad to see Jimin be taken aback because he really never expected Tae to be sorry. I think Tae wants to make it up to him as much as he can and I think part of his internalized redemption is him protecting JK and “giving” him back to Jm after taking so much from him. I can’t wait see where it goes from here but I’m hoping Tae gets it together and learns how to properly tell JM he loves him 😭
you made me tear up rn???? the way you described the characters' way of thinking/acting is exactly what i wanted to convey, so to read this makes me so so happy ‼️ vmin's relationship is the most complicated one and im so glad you see the raw and passionate love between them despite all the hardships 💛 it's gonna take a while, but they're definitely going to make up, and jeongguk will play an extremely important part in that !! I can't wait for you to read the next chapter (coming in a week, finally 😋) and for you to see how this develops!!! thank you a thousand times for sharing your thoughts on OBAL 💛‼️
