but this might make your fic stick out in a good way anon? it'll be something different, and i typically like the kpop writing style more than western ones anyway. i wrote a fic outside of kpop fandom last year and i felt weird too but in the end it ended up going over well
just request them! or ik a lot of people have a list of kinks that they like, and they attach it to their request like "here's a list of things i like" etc
last page's thread about fandom crushes has me wondering, what makes you feel like someone is "too cool" for you? is it just the image of them you built up in your mind, or is there something about them specifically that gives you that impression?
for me it's a combination of being smart (not even in, like, an academic sense, but more to do with insightfulness?) and being knowledgeable about things that i am interested in but have more of a surface level understanding of
maybe it's just me but i felt like the exchange has been rather unhype? lackluster? :( but i've only been reading the jimin fics! here are some i enjoyed so far.
a couple i liked:
yoonseok drag competition
rapmon/bobby smtm3 ar. really good and well written, loved the dynamic
short but sweet vmin honeymoon sex
minjoon dancing around each other. rapmon being dumb was endearing here
vmin and some jikook royalty au... 3/4 of this was really cute vmin (and the last quarter got really dark so be careful anons) maybe skip if you're a jungkook stan. there's a scene that is faux non-con and there's gore as well so yeah be careful!
minjoon reincarnation. probably my fave! more of an introspective namjoon, really beautiful
hope you like some of these anon! if anyone has more recs that weren't jimin pairings lmk so i can check them out too.
do you have any goals in terms of productivity, like x fics/year or x k/month?
i like to post fic at least once a month. it doesn't have to be long and substantial, a drabble is fine. i don't always succeed though lol and if i'm writing something longer i prioritize that
re: the ongoing meme discussion about friends, i think it was so much easier when livejournal was the fandom hub, you could just join in on threads or talk to people on communities or leave an awkward "hi can i friend you? it's totally cool if not!" comment on flock posts... now, i have no idea how to friend with new people beyond awkwardly creeping on timeline convos
my experience has been rly different. i was in lj based fandoms a teen, had some people on my flist but wasn't really friends with them, and it wasn't until the move to tumblr and twitter that i actually made close friends.
Monsta x seems so co-workerish ;____; and not in a good way. Idk if it's just me, I get the feeling that a few members don't like some of their teammates
i mostly write when i'm... not sober or half-asleep so i can't obsess over what i just wrote haha probably not very healthy. recently for exchanges when i'm in a rush i try to write with 30 minute blocks/sprints for up to 2 hours to get myself through it.
anons how do you get over it when you dislike your writing T__T usually i'm okay about it but when i just start nitpicking i can't go on at all. it's the only thing holding me back from writing anything. i know comparison is the thief of joy but i get so down sometimes. why do i care so much!
seeing the thread above about bts fic thing, and threads from past pages about a couple of exchanges/fests makes me really really want to have one huge exchange for all kpop :\
this is also probably because i recently participated in a multifandom thing, and it felt nice to have diversity around me. but i don't know, i just miss the atmosphere of having many groups in one place
i feel like a giant multifandom fic fest would be so much fun (especially if there was a dedicated community/teams for writers to talk together!) but... i'm too lazy to do it
