I think the table at somewhere between 50-75% looks nice personally. I don't like to change fonts and such but if someone does it doesn't bother me as long as it's easy to read.
...but yeah idk why people do that little thin tiny column of text unless it's like a 100 w fic. and even then. there is no better way to make me backspace faster

that is way too small!!
I wanted to try and make mine a little smaller than default LJ page does but I couldn't figure out the html table code for it ;;

I just do mine as table width="XX%" like
[table align="center" table width="60%"][tr][td] FIC GOES HERE [/td][/td][/table]
but with angle brackets not square brackets

er and the second /td should be /tr but you know. that.
thanks! ♥ I wonder what I was doing wrong last time I tried it, then. It drove me so mad I just gave up ;;
anons wanna know!
;____; block b stans/fans, if there are any of you left, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdvynhFsojE. comeback is actually happening.
jfc i don't even stan btob and this just blew me away. the relationship, the characterisation, the pacing, and flow. i'm just in love with how the author wrote both illhoon's and hyunsik's flaws. it's honestly hard to come by in kpop ffs.
[spoilers]
i expected something to happen when illhoon mentioned that fortune teller because it was such an interesting, albeit mordbid, detail that just stuck with me. although i'm glad that nothing really happened, it felt a little out of place, ya naw wha i mean?
[end spoilers]
but other than that, it's really well-written and i never expected myself to spend so much time just reading and absorbing the fic.

this was a fic that deeply underwhelmed me on my first reading but one i warmed up to on my second just now. the opening sentence is a grammatical trainwreck and that really set my impression, i think, because it became abundantly clear that the story was not proofread.
it's a generic story about love. while that's not bad in itself, i knew exactly how it would end from the get-go and i found the language too uninteresting to read on its own merits. the sense of melancholy is well done but profoundly static. what strikes me is how introverted the pov is, with the hyperfocus on fine details like slipping smiles and how so many sentences are prefaced with "he [verb]ed". because of that introversion you praised the level of characterisation, and i agree to an extent, but at times i felt tied down by it, tied down as if i was a ball on a short string being swung in circles, instead of being able to freely look between thoughts and surroundings through a clear two-way lens. if that makes sense. fr example, here:
Myungsoo can feel Woohyun’s tears more than he can see them (the lights are off because everyone else is asleep already, it’s as close as they can get to being alone). His voice shakes, Myungsoo can feel how tense Woohyun is in his arms, as if he’s trying to desperately pull into himself. He thinks that if Woohyun stays like this he’ll really break apart, crumble into dust right there in his arms.
it's all, 'myungsoo feels this'. 'myungsoo thinks that'. what should be a lens becomes as a mirror; to me the emphasis lies more on the pov than what the pov experiences, and that's distracting. more than that, it's alienating.
overall it was a decent, if predictable, read.

so okay i read this yesterday but this infinitememe fill! i rmb being over the moon about it because let's face it inappropriately sexual crushes and implied ot3s what's there not to like??? it's juvenile and pointless but i just loved it.by the end by the middle i could not stop cackling. the language is nothing special but i wouldn't have it any other way for how very readable and purposeful it is. there's nothing extraneous.
while there's a definite element of crack, the subtle characterisation keeps the characters recognisable and holds it back from the abyssal precipice that is preteen aff humour.

(fic ending spoilers i guess)
anon you didn't mark which fandom this was for so i clicked with some skepticism
anon i'm screaming
i've always liked after school but never enjoyed any of its fics until now. aaaaaa i love the relationship dynamics, the characterisation, the awkward romance but most of all i love the unhappy ending, as weird as it sounds. it's rare in fic and even novels that there's no closure, only uncertainty, so it's refreshing to see that this happens and is *a thing* like irl and even moreso that it's executed well. tysm for sharing!

oop, sorry /o\ the fandom was in the sentence i erased lol
you're welcome! after school fic seems rare, and good as fic seems rarer still so this fic has a special place in my heart :3

can you share any others that you enjoyed? it doesn't have to be as; other girlgroups are ok too.
it's like i've seen the light *____*

wonderful critique, anon! the ball on a short string metaphor makes perfect sense, it's exactly what a limited pov feels like (for better or for worse).
i am 99% sure this was written by pennylane, and the "he thinks this" and "he feels that" is very much her modus operandi. same with the parentheses. you can tell when she's spent time editing something because there are fewer parentheses.

i disagree. pennylane's fics usually have way more meta and awkward conversations.
anons, how many people participated in ficmix? i'm curious about how many exo fics will be written for this exchange.
i will admit to not actually reading the whole fic, lol. i just saw the parentheses and read a couple paragraphs and it sounded like her. i might be wrong though!!
i did and i didn't write exo. there's a chance the person who got me did though
i saw somewhere that 58 people participated? but i have no idea where that person got the number so who knows. i didn't write exo and the person who wrote for me couldn't have, either. there will probably be a ton regardless.
I didn't write exo and the person who wrote for me didn't either!
still, I think the majority of the fics are gonna be exo ;~;

thank you! i can't name any examples off the top of my head but it's definitely possible to write an almost invisible limited POV. some 1st person novels even manage this. though it's something i struggle with so maybe that's why i notice it more.
this doesn't seem like a pennylane fic - they're usually... ramblier - but then i haven't read her work in months so what do i know! ia completely with you and da's observations though lmao

i had fallen out of following btob but these teasers have me intrigued. i hope their song doesn't end up being a completely different concept
