this comment made me srsly think abt why i stan them bec i knee-jerk lit up at b1a4 but then i couldn't really relate to the things you said. srsly i've been thinking abt this all day and i still don't know lmao but i stan them nonetheless ig
but yes i also find them hard to write ;; first because i have a hard time figuring out their characterization and also because they're so.. fluffy and jolly and i don't write that kind of fic and it feels like they don't fit into what i want to write lmao. but i think you should write out those scenes of yours anon i want to read them ;;
I would read all your cute scenes. I always find it hard to start writing for a new fandom but after the first piece it gets easier so I totally think you should give it a try!
oh wow anon ;_; you got to see amazing store live! i've been lucky enough to see them three times at non-solo events over the last two and a half years, and all I can say is that I've just fallen more and more in love as time goes by.
i started a fic back then when i first fell for them, then abandoned it because of the same reasons you did. but this year i suddenly felt this swell of emotional attachment to them and decided I wanted to write fic for them, so I started /o\ I think it helps to have friends who are into them that you can talk to about scenes and stuff, and just share general appreciation for them, because talking about them and why you like/dislike them has helped me so much ;;;;
hi anon! ;; i stan b1a4 so hard and i have since debut but i've only really been this focused on them as a single group this year. do you stan them because of music or anything? or because they're just great balls of sunshine? ;w;
i don't really find them as hard to write as i do find it hard to put words out. like i'll have all these scenes in my head that seem in character and stuff but writing it out and adding dialogue is tough for me. and ir2 how fluffy and jolly they are, yes, i think so too, but there has been pretty good darker dic that people have written for them, and you should keep trying anon! maybe pick up on one of their insecurities/flaws (be it from a rumour, interview) and run from there?
wails. they're not really a new fandom for me and i've technically been in fandom since debut but the ficdom is what is taunting me to try! i'm definitely trying, and maybe i'll share something here in the future, or (if i push myself D:) maybe you'll see something new in the fic-comm which miiiiightt just be from me ;w;
I'd really love to see more fic in this fandom, they are just so fluffy and adorable and I love the feel good vibes I get from this group and their fandom. maybe you can experiment and post them anon if you're self-conscious? there are some prompts for them at kprompts I think (or you can make prompts and then answer them, I totally haven't done that...)
well the reason i stan them is solely cnunf and then i slowly grew affectionate to the others as well and they've come to give me this warm fuzzy feeling inside lmao although i'm quite unsentimental abt my stanning and find it all very irrational, so it's not because i find them way better than other groups or anything, and i'm not heads over heels for their music either, i mean it's catchy and all but it's more like i like it because i like

anyways omg anon i'm am struggling with these. exact. things. rn ;; like how do you write? ok i have an idea but what words and sentences do you actually put down to write this out? what does the actual text contain???? i've come to a point where i'm like???? i try to find strategies for how to tell a story but i so often feel left out at the mercy of a flash of inspiration coming by, otherwise i just sit there staring at the doc and it's like i don't have any control of my writing at all lol? but hey what kinds of scenes is it you want to write? if you don't mind sharing
do you have any examples of darkfic for them? i do like darkfic but mainly i write lots of porn and.. they just don't do it for me lmao. i want to and try to expand to plot, even just short bits of it, but it doesn't seem to come natural to me u___u
cnunf is absolutely stunning as a person u___u he has surprised me many times over the years, and my perception of him keeps evolving but i think the core of him stays the same (idk how to say cries meta-thoughts) and i adore him T____T my bias is sandeul though haha but cnu is like a close second and he gives me so many beautiful inappropriate feelings (though they all do tbh)
i really do adore their music though, and yeah, it's not because it's particularly good or fantastic but i have songs that i especially love from them that i don't think other groups can pull off (because of the tone of their voices and etc, and how some songs are very... obviously jinyoung to me).
the scenes i want to write range very widely lol. on one hand i just want to write snippets of random au 'verses that i've thought up for them, some that make me have specific ships in mind and etc? like. i'm really bad at plotting things out so most of what i('m trying to) write are currently just like... scenes on a vague timeline, one offs and stuff like that. i have something... plotty in mind as well but it's more like a gradual exploration of feelings kind of fic and not something that i really want to introduce conflict/climax to because i'm just generally bad at plotting things out (i need a beta or something omg).
I LOVE PORN TBH CRIES and wow i have extremely inappropriate thoughts about b1a4 a lot of the time, and write out random porn in my head without ever really... writing it, honestly /o\ but please share your porny thoughts with me if you'd like anon! and if you don't mind me asking, what porn do you write if not b1a4 then? in terms of fandoms or w/e ;w;
as for dark fic uhhhhh well i guess i wouldn't call a lot of it darkfic but more serious, less fluffy fic for them has been written before? hotarumyst has written some more serious fic, there's also this... vampire!au longfic that bulletthestars has written as well http://bulletthestars.livejournal.com/21320.html. there's some fic here http://systemique.livejournal.com/ as well, but it's more like fic that i enjoyed reading and not so much fic that really... went anywhere? or had any particular direction of plot, i'd say.
anyway uh yeah chatty anon is chatty but please feel free to talk to me!
they honestly just make me the happiest? like, i've had some rather saddening fandom experiences and stuff but b1a4 has been a constant source of joy for me over the past two and a half years, and they're just... so lovely? i hope that i can one day contribute to ficdom ;__; i might experiment with smaller things and post them here but at the same time i'm not sure who i might have talked to about them that might out me to my friends hehe
i really didn't except to fall for them even more at amazing store but i did T__T they were just so freaking cute and cheerful and talented and ugh ♥___♥
i don't really have friends who are into them so i can't share my appreciation with anyone;; which is probably why i sort of drifted away from them over the years and just started casually following their releases;; but now i'm ready to be a full time fan because they deserve it oh so much.
cries i've made some of my only and best fandom friends because of them and getting introduced to wonderful people in the fandom ;_; i honestly think they deserve so much because they are an extremely talented group of boys who've managed to build a pretty strong fanbase in korea despite coming from such an unheard of company ;___; i'm so envious but happy for you that you got to see them at amazing store, anon! all three of the events i managed to go for were in my own country, and though they were all non-solo events i only ever went for them because i love them so much!
yeees;;;; tbh for me the concert was an eye-opener as to how talented they actually are and how strong of a fanbase they have in korea! pulling out 5 solo concerts in a row is pretty impressive for such a group ;~~~;
i feel really lucky that amazing store coincided with my travel dates to korea tbh orz otherwise i'd never have gotten the chance to see them!!
who's your favorite? and favorite pairings? (i don't even know if i still have a favorite pairing, i need to get back into the whole shipping them;;)
i'm really so happy for you, anon! <3 <3 <3 ahhh i feel so affectionate right now because i feel like all of us fans are a giant family. YES i've kept up with the fanaccounts and fanphotos and fancams over the past week and i'm so proud and impressed by them and with wm for letting them take the challenge tbh. i also love the fact that they like giving the audience something with their concerts, with their baba concert having the hour-long "musical drama" skit and with the mini-skits i hear they had each day of amazing store! i think it's something no other (korean) group has really put that much effort in to, at least in my years in fandom (which are not many!)
my bias is the absolutely ridiculous lee junghwan aka sandeul ;;;; he's just. lovely in every sense of the world and so so so talented. i could gush about him for hours and i've honestly spent a lot of time thinking about how much i love him and how much he's enriched my life and makes me happy each time i hear him sing /o\. i love the rest of them pretty equally except that cnu is probably my 2nd bias, and this was totally unplanned but he surprised me so much with how much personality he actually has and quiet charisma. next is chan, then jinyoung and baro but i honestly just love them a lot sobs ;___;
i ship ot5!!!!! ok, yeah, but seriously when i first got into fandom i shipped shinchan so hard i wanted to die. back then it was all cute fluffy b1a4 but now i also have very nc-17 thoughts about them that have developed through the years and promotional eras haha. currently shinchan is kind of taking the backseat because i've realised the beauty of shindeul, though, who make me want to roll around in pillows with how ridiculously touchy and almost in love with each other they are (but honestly, all of b1a4 are pretty much in love with sandeul/each other). but honestly i ship /everything/ and i mean everything, every pairing and also polyamorous ot5 five-person-relationship of doom that no one in fandom has ever written /o\
YES THE MINI SKITS WERE AWESOME T__T they really took up a long time of the concert and you could see that they put lots of work into it omg;; i was so happy to be able to understand most of it despite my poor korean abilities lmao. and it was a really nice way to introduce each member's little solo part;;
speaking of solos i think each member had his solo stage for each day of the concert, and i was lucky to go the concert where it was sandeul's turn T_______T i died. oh did i die omg.
ughhh i fell for sandeul so much at the concert. i loved him a lot already because he's so fucking cute and he has an amazing voice but hearing him sing live (AND HIS SOLO GDI) made me fall harder. chansik and jinyoung are originally my first biases and it got confirmed that chansik is indeed a cute little shit irl and that jinyoung needs to stop with the killer smile T__T
sobs i was a lot into ot5 as well back in the time and i think i still ship ot5 rn. everyone loves everyone in b1a4?? idek???? i also shipped jinchan because leader/maknae made my heart hurt at the time and chansik was a baby and i just wanted jinyoung to take care of him BUT NOW chansik has grown up so well and ;~~~~~~~~~~~~; he's still my little baby though, at the concert when people cheered for him he w
when people cheered for him he was like "ah... no... i didn't have a solo [as opposed to sandeul] don't cheer" and i just wanted to hug him forever;; sometimes i really hope he doesn't suffer too much from not having this many singing parts in their songs because i just want him to be happy )))):
also yes to sandeul/everyone, this is definitely something i can get behind!!!
goddd anon i feel entirely happy for you right now i swear to god they make me happy just by making people happy ;_; lol my korean is shit but i have lots of faith in wm and thank them very much for subbing their dvd because as i said before, BEST FANDOM PURCHASE EVER. idk if you have it/have watched it, anon, but you really should because i cried so much at certain parts where they were extremely sentimental and you can see how much they love their music and work and each other and how much they love to interact with their fans and perform and just UGH
wails desperately at you for getting to listen to sandeul sing his solo omg ;~~~~~~; his voice is so amazing and strong live and i love him so much godddddd.
chan is a little shit indeed but i still treat him like a baby even if he's just. not a baby anymore and getting hotter and more mature day by day and no longer the precious child who cried because he was homesick way back when ;~~~~; i don't think he suffers at all/much with b1a4 or with the fans because the truth is that everyone just adores him as a person? he's matured a lot and gotten confident and i feel like he has a quiet strength in him. like for example at their first win (i cried so hard) when he was the one standing strong on stage while the other four burst into tears; i think it's because he's the hyung in his family though he's the baby of the group and UGH HE'S JUST SO LOVELY.
jinyoung…. jinyoung has the stupidest faces ever sometimes and i feel like his life is one giant "NOPE" sometimes when it comes to being silly or acting cute but it just makes him even more endearing to me because he can be a shit idol sometimes and the next time he's like flawless leader u__u
ot5 is the truest ship, and so is everyone/deul uwu
NOPE I HAVEN'T WATCHED IT BUT it's definitely on my must-absolutely-buy list now!!
sobs i agree with you so fucking much re chansik being a baby. he'll always be my baby no matter what (despite being older than me for starters gdi kpop). i am really impressed at how well he grew up and how he matured within the group.
this also applies to how well b1a4 matured tbh. they went from 'ok' to 'tried to walk' which had this whole ~dark~ feel and a m a z i n g choreography ;~~~~; everyone in b1a4 is lovely i just feel like i am repeating myself because everything about them is lovely end of the story there's nothing more to say????
OH GOD ANON YOU'RE A BABY! so young omg ;~~~~; i'm in 93-line with chan, though he's older than me by a few months but yeah u___u he's grown a lot and matured and i love him so much and i think he gives his hyungs a lot of strength ;_;
BUT YEAH PLEASE you need the baba dvd in your life u_______u i really want to watch the japanese one as well but the korean one is just.... full of feels and wonderful and they are such talented boys, i swear to god you will not regret it ;_; i would upload the whole thing for you if i could too ;__;
b1a4's music has changed and matured a lot and i think a lot can be said about jinyoung's composing skills and lyrics as well. their concepts have changed so much and i still feel like they're just bringing such fresh looks and music to the industry just because it's them? i really think they have this distinct... "b1a4" sound that they've grown into, especially from tried to walk onwards in terms of releases ;~;
i am definitely sure that i will not regret it!! i am sad that i can't find any cuts on youtube but it's okay i'll buy it as soon as i have enough money! (and i will cry all over again just like i did at amazing store sobs my life)
i agree, they really have a distinctive sound. i love that their songs are always ridiculously catchy but not the kind of catchy that you get bored of after a few listens?? i don't know but 'what's happening' has been my jam since it came out and i'm still not tired of it because it's such a great song?? and their albums/minis are always pretty consistent like, the songs that they don't promote are still real gems and i just really have lots of feelings for their music ♥
ik i think he's grown a lot and he keeps surprising me with what he does and with the ease with which he does it sometimes but deep down he's still the same lame-ass person lmao u___u awww i like sandeul too, he's obnoxious but i can't find myself disliking him no matter what lmao and his face is so qt with his droopy eyes and his weird little mouth and the weird little things it does lol (i notice the quirks of ppls face a lot i think, it's like the backbone of my stanment)
i really like that they're standing out more and more lately, with their music and concepts. tried to walk was a lovely song and a lovely concept imo and although i like the easy-going boy next door thing they've had going for them (even though that was the reason why i pm hated them for the first year and a half of their career lol u___u) it's still nice to see them evolve and take on different images. wgo was so deliciously artsy weird that i'm rly looking forward to their next release and keeping my fingers crossed they'll go for upping that lol
i think you shouldn't worry abt not having a full storyline plotted out, if you want to write random scenes just write whatever comes to you and take it as a writing exercise. i'd still like to read them :) if you find it hard to write rn, don't bite off more than you can chew. what kind of au's are we talking? :D
WRITE OUT YOUR PORN ANON write it but no idk, i think cnu is hat but i still have a somewhat platonic relationship to him and i'm not entirely comfortable with picturing him in sexual situations? and sandeul and baro are pm just squishy in my eyes (at least sandeul, baro ranges from complete dudebro to 5yo and idk i feel that i sometimes have to skew my headcanon of him to make him fit but otoh he's an adult so it's just abt what parts of his personality you're focusing on ig (then again that goes for sandeul as well and theoretically i could write sandeul porn ig i just haven't gotten there tho i was on my way once ngl)) and ig gongchan could be porn material but INHI how to write him like, characterization??!!? do share you're porny thoughts with me too bec i could use some input and inspiration ;;; exo is my other fandom alongside b1a4 so it's mainly exo i've been writing for, and they really fit porn imo lmao especially so since they've got more members and more shipping opportunities unlike b1a4 where i only ship a handful of pairings, barely. i think i'm still more comfortable with exo too and maybe that's why it's easier to just, strip them down lol
ty for the recs! sobs at how small this fandom/ficdom is. it's ok i'm also chatty lol i don't know so many b1a4 fans so i don't get to talk abt them a lot /o\
