finally, host club au \o/

dictionary of obscure sorrows, right? at first i really liked it but the way it dissolves into such forced grandeur prose gets old really fast

oh i love host club au. i wonder why it isn't written more (well, i haven't seen any for my fandoms), it seems like it could be one of those overused tropes but it just... isn't.

isn't that tiffany tho

yeah ia. this is one trope i wouldn't mind overused though but i think it's really hard to write properly because there's so much mystery around it

(Anonymous) 2012-11-26 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
yup, i should have linked like anon did. i too have the feeling that, many times, by the end of the definition the effect is lost in the prose. but there are some entries here and there to which i relate so much, so it gives me pleasure to read them.

please don't let "obligatory exo comment" become a thing

(Anonymous) 2012-11-26 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
i haven't thought about it like that, partly because fandom doesn't have a problem with disregarding reality anyway, and partly because i've never seen the host world as particularly mysterious. i mean, i know some japanese hosts. but i don't claim it to be a simple thing.

i do think that if you're going to write something fun despite lack of expertise, host clubs are pretty safe. (as long as you don't claim to know shit when you just pulled it out of your ass)

infinite and it's myungyeoljong *__*

(Anonymous) 2012-11-26 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
i just finished reading it! it's so nice, i kind of hope author-ssi writes the yeoljong part eventually just because i want more

(Anonymous) 2012-11-26 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
oh and don't misunderstand the last part of that comment. i'd love a more serious take on the subject more than anything.

Minho : I'm a member of Kyu-line~
Kyuhyun : The members are Ryeowook, DBSK Changmin and SHINee Minho.
Donghae : I want to join the line as well.
Kyuhyun and Minho laugh.
Yesung : You should make you own line and call it Donghae-line~
Donghae : No, no, I want to join Kyu-line.
Minho : There are some criteria to be part of the line
Fans : HEIGHT
Minho : No, no.
Yesung points to Ryeowook. They all laugh.
Minho : No, the height isn't one. You must like what Kyuhyun enjoys. The requirements are game and wine. Wine is the most important.

snsd looked more cohesively happy during smtown singapore than they have in a long time and i'm really emotional about it ;_____________;

(Anonymous) 2012-11-26 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
idk i just feel it ought to be handled sensitively? like prostitute!au, where i sometimes find it hard to read because it's almost always about how person A falls in love with prostitute B and they live out their lives happily and the prostitution is just a plot device. it obviously goes deeper than that but maybe i want these aus less for entertainment and more for it to paint these charters in a more human light idk

then again someone can just write ouran au and that would be the fluffy, light version of it that i would still totally read

writernons, which kind of software do you use for your writing?

(Anonymous) 2012-11-26 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
googledocs, zenwriter, my phone's notes section

(Anonymous) 2012-11-26 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
it's the first host club au i've ever come across in any fandom and it's the maknae line omfg my heart. the yeoljong would be fascinating and the myungjong too and of course the myungyeol and how it will be resolved too. but the writer said she's not continuing so :(

i just accept both kinds of host club aus with open arms. or, well, depending on my mood i prefer one or the other. i go for the lighter approach if i want silly fluff, though usually i yearn for realistic drama.

does googledocs save the different drafts of the same document you've been making and allow you to compare them?
