I bet you’ll love these books if you haven’t already read them <3
i didn’t know u wrote for nct!! is it just dream or 127/other subunits? i don’t really stan them but i listen to their music a lot + like some members. but i did read your jmjn fics and they blew me away… your writing is so beautiful! haha nothing else to say, just hoping that you’re having a good time and nice new years :)
i love both nct 127 and dream's music (also wayv) but dynamics-wise i'm only interested in dream (the mutual trauma bonding at their teenage years went hard with them) and out all of them i just got into jmjn bc naturally opposites working until they're basically the same person, against all odds?? same personism is the most romantic thing in the world (actually, the same reason i got into jmj too haha) and thank you so much for reading! ♥ really really wish you a happy and peaceful new year:)
I’ve read (bet on losing dogs) about 10 times already, wdym English isn’t your first language omg. Your ability to make me feel so much in a language that isn’t even your first is amazing :((( ilyyyyy <3 what’s your first language if you don’t mind sharing
who would you say is your favourite jimin and favourite minjeong from the fics you've written?
my favorite mj is warm blood mj bc i feel like i don't often portray mj tenderly (she's always a little porcupine baby for me) and she is in there! fav jm is def the anatomy of a memory jm bc i'm a romantic person, she's a romantic person and both of us would die several times for mj haha (also it wasn't the question but fav jmj is bet on losing dogs bc i loooove the banter and the dynamic between them)
hope this is ok to ask, but who have your biases been in the kpop groups you got into?
uh it's gonna be a long one bc i got into kpop when i was in elementary school but yeah so
snsd - tiffany, jessica
shinee - taemin
f(x) - krystal
exo - kyungsoo, chanyeol
rv - irene
nct - jaemin, jeno
aespa - tbh aespa is like the only group i looooove every member at the same level but karina really caught my eyes first!!
loona - jinsoul, hyunjin
kep1er - xiaoting, chaehyun
zb1 - zhang hao, gyuvin
ive - liz
itzy - chaeryeong, yeji
twice - nayeon
i wanna say this is an incomplete list and i only actively seeking out updates for aespa (and rn zb1) but mostly these are the groups i had/has lots of interest in for a shorter or longer period of time haha
your passion for writing is so amazing ! i hope 2025 will be a year full of inspiration for you, not only for writing, but also in all the other aspects of your life 🫶
you’re killing me with jimin’s characterization. i reread light a fire and abyss and like… the way she cares sm 🥲🥲🥲 bro isn’t meant to kill she saves 😔💔
jimin for me is love personified!! that's why i love putting her in little situations where her care and love shines thru :') also anon, wanted to let you know that with this you unintentionally helped me formulate a plot for a fic that i've been moving around in my head so thank you for your service!!!!!
Queen will you never write jmjn again? what about the survival show fic?
ah anon, i'm so sorry but i don't have plans rn :( jmjn is my most formative ship and i still very much count myself in the fandom but i just don't feel like writing for them as of right now but i won't say never tho!! (i change opinions very quickly 🥲) as for the survival show fic, i'm putting that on hold, but i think i have the alst chapter half-written so chances i'll finish it sometime in the future!!!
Nina we’re so lucky to have a writer like you (I’m completely ruined after reading ur most recent fic) :(((( write forever PLEASE
i loved the fic it was so good. your writing is always amazing and i always look forward to reading what u have next! the way they like unintentionally miscommunicated killed me in the best way. and i loveddddd how you write minjeong!!!! it hurt so good 🥲🥲🥲 and LMAO aeri was really trying to get w jimin even tho she had something w yz and knew jmj had feelings for each other. girl did not gaf 😭😭😭
i'm so grateful for the support :') ♥ i looooove writing mj and usually prefer her pov too bc i love her quiet love and i think it gives more ground for introspection thus more look into the character (also her defiance is just so charming) BUT i love waxing poetry about mj too so love to change things up from time to time. and yes aeri truly dgaf in this fic, loved writing her as a horny college girly haha
hii,, ive been a long time fan of your works but its so embarrassing to admit that i only recently realised you had a twitter and retrospring hahaha....... honestly your fics are absolute masterpieces and my favourite might be the jmj fencing fic. is it alright to ask what got you into writing in the first place?
of course it is alright haha i got into writing bc i practically inhaled fanfics (and accidentally taught myself english with it haha) and i really wanted to try it out myself!! i wrote my first fic for the shinee fandom, it was really bad and i barely knew any english (and grammar was never my good buddy) but i think i continued on bc the fandom was very open and let me be bad at it at first!! then on and off i've been writing as i migrated fandoms in the past 10 years, and i think a very big writing milestones for me were my two nct longfics bc i feel like they got me somewhere in writing i'd have never imagined to be (plot, characters and writing-wise as well). but tbh what keeps me writing rn is how supportive the aespa rps fandom is 😭 no worries, i always put my socials late on my author notes bc almsot all my works are from fic fests so i'm hiding anything that would give me away :D but thank you so much, loved writing the fencing fics and somewhere in my drafts there's an unbaked attempt for a sequel 👀
queen you had a jaemin name sneak in the latest fic at the end why was that there 😭 but also! loved the fic it was very good 🙂↕️
hi! just wanted to let you know that there was a random part in ur most recent jmj oneshot where minjeong turns into jaemin and the pronouns are him? not sure if this was originally a converted fic of urs or not
friend do you have a zb1 ship chart or if not which ships do you ship?
nina!!! evermore anon here (idk how to reply to your answer). actually, i really hoped jimin survived!! (Minjeong has been thru alot pls let the girl breathe!!) i just cant shake that thought of her not surviving! hahaha but in my head, what really happened, is probably Minjeong thought Jimin won’t survive. like that evermore bridge!! so much happening, there’s chaos, every surviving tribute are in the center, fighting. then amidst the smoke and chaos, Jimin is there like how the bridge calmed down with that “but i swear, you were there”. HAHA! but yeah, there’s that nagging feeling of was she really there?! anyway, best believe i’ll always remember light a fire whenever i hear evermore. thank you for that masterpiece
you are soooo right, like "there's that nagging feeling of was she really there" killed me because. yes. exactly the way jm thought of mj while she was in the rink, watching every night what she did to survive. and also!!! is it really jm who comes back??? not a warped self created by the things she had to do in the arena?? much to think about haha thank you so much for reading and engaging with me like this haha 🫶🫶🫶
