exchanges like yuletide, nuguseyo or any rare pair type of exchange piss me off. why should it take a special event to motivated to write these fandoms? ESPECIALLY when people go on and on about how they've always fic
the event is what pisses you off though or the fact that the event is needed? because with the latter i agree (though i wouldn't go so far as to say i'm pissed) but i think sometimes especially in the case of yuletide it can be hard to find motivation in "i'm going to write fic for the 2 other people i know who are in this fandom". like obviously write because of the love of writing blah blah blah but like personally i find the writing process a labour and if i don't think anyone else is going to read my story i'm just going to think about the story to myself rather than go to the effort of making readable words.
i want to write something for halloween but i never know what. does anyone have any good halloween-related prompts, or has seen any floating around, like on tumblr idk?
angst/dramatic stuff. i can read angst and enjoy it, but i can't get myself to write it / whenever i try i feel it's not believable. i mostly write comedy and light hearted things with ups and downs and heavy writing is yet to be something i'm comfortable with.
it's been like a year since i read bts fic, does anyone have some recommendations? preferably something where you liked the characterization, no preference for pairing or anything although idrc about yoonmin
these are both porn (and yoonmin in theory) but i liked the jimin characterization in both (and these are yoonmin but cute as shit )
gosh this is hard because i feel like a lot of bangtan fic isn't really stand out in terms of characterization and like a lot of fic recently has been written by the same people and i feel mostly meh about it because it's mostly maknaeline and like a waste of words to get to the porn which was mostly the point of the fic i feel like and tonally they're all the same.....out of that group of friends i liked-ish these two
i also don't care for yoonseok so i can't rec any of those
vhope taegi namjin 2jin but mostly gen
maybe i only liked these porn ficlets because i am desperate for vmon but i did and i am not afraid to admit it
anons how do i get back into fandom? alternatively quit it completely?
for over a month now i've been going back and forth between liking my main group and wanting to be invested in them to thinking they're gross and never wanting to see them again, often from day to day or even several times over a day lol, it's so tiring. when i don't like them i don't want to get back into fandom but other times i do and i miss being in it, i miss caring and always having something easy to entertain me. and i fucking miss writing fic and feeling passionate about that. if i'm not in fandom i can't write fic and that's what sucks most about it because i love writing.
when i've abandoned fandoms in the past it has always been because i've moved on to new fandoms but now it's just losing interest and having nothing to fill the void. it's so frustrating >:((
this is a tough one anon. whenever i've felt that way in the past i do actively take a break from fandom. i don't go as far as removing from myself from twitter but i don't check tumblr, don't watch anything fandom related, and don't read fic. and then i try to find a temp new fandom. tere's always plenty of tv shows out there that i'm interested in. sometimes i browse ao3 and read random fics. but i do find that a few weeks of purposely staying away from the original fandom will usully give me a good idea if i needed a vacation from it or to say good bye altogether. in kpop especially i find that it's easy to burnout.
the other thing is maybe try writing non fandom things. i know you say you only write fic but perhaps forcing yourself to try something new might also help?
i'm confused. if i were to write for team future, i wouldn't be able to start from the present and work my way forwards? the rules state that there needs to be a 1 year gap, but how do i know if what's going to happen will happen in a year's time? what might realistically happen in 5 years' time might happen in 1 year. i hope the mods can elaborate on this because it seems like team future's future seems difficult rn...
prompt from: http://kficanon.dreamwidth.org/13895.html?thread=51530055#cmt51530055 #2 i haven't written fic in a long time but wanted to write :(
Ditching school's supposed to be hard. There's a moment between normal classes and after school study sessions that make it easy to do though, when there's a flurry of activity and the teachers are caught up. They're good girls. At least, Sulli is. Krystal isn't so much, because she's from america and american's don't have to be good - they have too much time on their hands. Korean school system just leaves way for rebellion.
"You like cherry, right?" Krystal asks, but orders a cherry bubbletea with that abrasiveness to say 'i don't care, you're getting it' instead of waiting for Sulli to speak up. She doesn't like cherry. She drinks it, because Krystal pays for it with a shrugging nonchalance. The taste is sticky and too-sweet down her throat. They loiter. They drink their sweet things.
"Playing hookie is better with sweet things, Krystal says, gripping Sulli's hand and pulling her along. Only halfway, because Sulli follows her wherever she'd go. Krystal's got clear eyes and surly lips and that doesn't take her prettiness away. Sulli would follow her to the ends of the earth, but will settle for the end of the street.
"What else is there to do?" Sulli asks, feeling the heat of disappointed ahjumma's at her back. They know, they know. They all know. Guilt seeps in like a quick knife, fast at the blow but slow to kill.
"Games?" Krystal suggests with a shrug. "PCbang? Noraebang? Everything we don't have time to do because we're trapped behind school gates." The streets of Seoul are busy. They're shuffled off with the tide of it and end up at the street they normally part at. But going home would mean giving up.
"Pet cafe?" Sulli suggests around the straw of her tea. That's when Krystal swoops in and kisses her, right on the cheek. Sticky and wet and too fast because it hurts. Sulli chokes on a bubble and for the next five minutes she grips Krystal by the shoulders and coughs, and Krystal, for her part, for dragging her out, for buying her that, for kissing her on the cheek, looks too guilty.
So sully leans up and kisses her and its not really bad but it's not the best either. It's too sloppy, because Krystal had her mouth half open to ask if she's okay. But it's not the worst (it must not be) because Krystal kisses her again.
