there are only two ongoing fics which i am so seated for and looking forward to and one of them is what the stars left behind it's a masterpiece fr u did a really good job with the characterization and the plot is so intriguing like u can't help but be curious what's going to happen and yknow it has a really angsty and depressing vibe i genuinely love this fic so much 😭😭😭
Hiiii! I just read arm candy its soo good !waiting for next updates! Take ur time and u are soo good
what the stars left behind deserves more kudos then it has !!!! and can't wait for the next update hehe<333
hi starr ily you're so sweet 💞 also what prompt are you the most excited to write?
I haven't read it yet, but in hopes of more encouragement, I have a heavy interest on it based on your snippets alone at first, summary and tags after that, and I can't wait to read it!!!!!! I looveee building world in my mind palace hehehe
helloo i just wanna let u know i randomly stumbled upon ur au what the stars left behind and decided to give it a read bcs it looked v promising and i am glad i did bcs it's so freaking good likeeeeee??? i am sat for the upcoming chapters already and can't wait for the next update hehe have a good day!!<33
Omg you're a nevie too?
Hi Star! Just finished reading wtslb and want to thank you for taking this one for the team! I was craving for this exact tropes, with this exact pairing for years now 🥺 Tbh I also have similar drafts rotting in drive, I gave up halfway cuz it's just taking too much brain energy figuring out the logistic of abo in historical setting 💀. Idk how you did that but you just scratches the itches that I had for years, it's so satisfying. I love everything you've done so far! Honestly, I'd love to hear more of your thoughts and writing process. I wonder where do you find inspo or why choosing abo for this specific story. I think it'd be fun to do authors interview sometime? Only if you're comfortable with it tho! Anyway sorry for the long rant, I'm still too hyped from this story ngl 💓
hey anon!! tysm for ur kind words ahh i'm so glad u like it!! honestly i was scared to make a historical au because of logistics too but i got super inspired by the deja vu mv!! honestly i recommend talking it through with someone-- that's what helped me figure out logistics and plot!! my original notes were literally just "pretty alpha bg and rebellious omega yj ->> arranged marriage?? king bg (?)" anyway i just really talked it through with my friend lo, i did a lot of research (ie reading other historical fics), and i brainstormed a LOT. just remember you don't need to figure out EVERYTHING about your world, as long as you have enough for your fic to make sense. as for my writing process, i have a vague outline and then i outline each chapter as i write it!! i can go more into depth if you want on that!! most of my inspiration was from deja vu mv and i chose to make it a/b/o bc i wanted to take a non traditional approach to bmjn a/b/o!! feel free to dm me anytime or send me asks here i love talking about my fics <33
omg hi Starr!! I just finished reading the first chapter of what the stars left behind and I LOVE IT!! ahhh omg please tell me more about this au 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻
AHHH RAIN IM SO GLAD U LOVE IT!! hmm i don't really have anything to post BUT i can tell u a fact that will be important later: in order to be prince/king/governor or have any kind of "noble" position, you need to be mated. this was alluded to in the first-- it's why seungcheol can't be governor yet because he's waiting until jeonghan is 25 to mate him. that's also the reason beomgyu's marriage was arranged immediately after he presented!!
additionally, i'll put a drawing of their outfits i did under this tweet!! i'm... a very bad artist but hopefully it'll help u visualize it anyway :D
