we ♡ it

haiiiiiiii awrkive nation !!

wow, its been such a long time !! i'm not on tumblr much anymore but every now and then when i open this account, i still see notifications for the fics i wrote and the love they continue to get still blows my mind. i will always be so so grateful for the kind comments and replies and well wishes in my inbox despite my absence <<3

now to address the elephant in the room (and i know this has been a long time coming): i didnt and dont really want to make another long ass announcement after the one i posted months ago, esp since i havent updated anything since then. but these past few weeks this has been bugging me and i decided that it would be better to be clear than to just leave things hanging because this small community we've built together means too much for me to just dip without saying anything!

after months of being away, i decided i won't be writing as awrkive anymore. i also won't be continuing to write for bts or any of the members for the forseeable future.

while i am wayyy busier with uni now (close to final year), my interests have also shifted over time. most importantly, im not as thrilled about real person fiction (a.k.a rpf), including reading and writing (celebrity) x reader fanfictions and just x reader fics in general, anymore lol. i have more thoughts on this but let's just say this is a personal shift in what feels comfortable, freeing, and creatively fulfilling for me right now. lately i've been trying my hand at writing for a fictional ship i really love, and found myself feeling more at ease writing and reading about it. i want to follow that honestly instead of forcing myself to do or continue something i dont really feel like doing anymore.

because of that, neighbor blunder (NB) is officially discontinued, and any preview fics i've posted in the past will no longer be jk x reader works. some of those ideas may eventually be rewritten or reimagined in the fandom i'm currently writing for and the fandoms for media i will be a part of in the future. but for now, i'm letting things unfold naturally, tho i still haven't decided if i will delete my existing fics on this account or not – i am leaning more towards not deleting them but we will see.

i've written for bts for such a long time ever since high school, which still feels surreal to say out loud. a considerable part of my writing had always been inspired, influenced, and shaped by the bts writing community and that's always going to be the case, i think. my time as a writer for them is so special omg and i'll always look back on it with fondness and so much appreciation. and while im still very much a fan (and excited for their comeback and planning to go to their tour!), right now i am at a point where my creative energy just isn't in writing fics for or about them anymore.

thank you so much for all the kindness, patience, and support you all have given my work over the years. it truly means more to me than i can put into this post. again, thank you thank you and good bye <3 i hope you all have a very great new year ahead !!!

signing off,

im gonna assume u just proceeded to write this ask after Not Reading my announcement post but anywaysssss

i just simply dont feel like being on tumblr anymore. also, i feel like ao3 is generally just a safer and more peaceful space for fanfic writers. tumblr is nice, but i havent felt as connected here as i did before and thats ok

also,, i get you with the sentiment that ao3 is hard to use. ive also been there. but going to the website you can instantly see the search button there, u just type the fic or profile and everything is offered to u 😅 u really dont have to do anything fancy with it.. it would be new but you'd find out its pretty straightforward

hi i want to clarify once again that no, i will not be posting anything here anymore. i will only be here from now on for graphic commissions on my sideblog which i can only access with this account (partially the reason why im keeping this account up instead of deactivating), but other than that, i will not be active here, meaning im not answering asks anymore and no more announcement posts when i update stuff on ao3. any story related stuff will exclusively be on ao3 only.

if you want to get notified for my ao3 updates, you can click on my profile and subscribe so you can get emails (considering u already have an ao3 acc set up). if u only want email updates for NB, you can click on the story itself alone and click subscribe

Which one of your jks do you think he is giving rn... I'm getting nb!jk (prolly cuz im a simp for nb!jk, don't come for meeee) #needthatrealbad

he is so HUGE its giving very much like nb jk

im gonna cry so bad!!!!!!!!!!! to break the ice with yall ive been feeling weird abt my writing for the past few weeks 💔 not bad weird, but its not good weird either. i just feel like. Meh. its prob bcs of my fuckass iron deficiency and the horrors it has brought upon me recently but let just say .. ive kinda been Down 😂😂 for no reason at all! 😂 so looking thru my inbox rn and seeing this one feels like a prize!!!!!! it reminded me my writing is #fire acshuwally 🤓☝🏼

ok but no i love tlp. she will forever be my greatest of all time😭😭😭 i wrote that with all of my heart and im so glad you love it! i love the canon conversations between those two, and i love almost every scene in it. and yes i do love writing from one mood in one second to another mood in the next 😭 i think thats like my most favorite thing to do with my fics so im kind of geeked you noticed that!!!

Now another question hehe 🤭

How many ex girlfriends does nb jk have? 🤓

hmm i see him as a guy whos pretty secure abt himself, but theres def been a time where some of his relationships (the casual ones) have been superficial and the reasoning behind it is bcs they had this whole idea abt him that is pretty different to what he actually is. i would say hes a guy who seeks a real connection, but his status in life prevents that in a way (blind dates, forced ideals from his chaebol fam and the likes) so theres a part of him that thinks "well maybe theres no point in looking for that".

anon asked: This is going to be a little vent so ignore if you want but im so frustrated with myself for having so many ideas for a fic but when i try to write them down it literally turns to shit its like at this point chatgpt is going to do better than me

not sure if this is same anon but these (old) asks have been sent in intervals (while i was ia as hell) so maybe not. anyways.

i hate being like "just do it!" bcs it comes off super toxic positivity to me HOWEVER,, my stance on this is really just.. do it. im gen not kidding when i say just do it. writing is so so hard but when YOU write from ur HEART, when u write your truth, when you write smth you really want to write about, i think theres some force that gets instilled in you one way or another. i get having so many ideas but they turn out shit when i write it, have been there so many times. but once i accepted that that happens, i really just let it go and let another idea come to me. ive been writing fics for so long and its only really the last year that i can say im proud of the works ive done, even tho i have written more fics outside this account.

remember people: fanfic is a labor of love !! if u r mostly stressed, rather than mostly happy doing it,,, i dont think u r using the right approach at all! if that fic is taking a toll on you, i think its better if u drop it tbh. just do it with love. do it bcs u want to indulge. i write my fics WHEN i feel like it, and when im in that zone, i find myself (mostly) not really caring about the pressure of it all, about how ppl will perceive it.

lastly NEVER EVER THINK CHATG*T CAN DO BETTER THAN YOU PLS DIVA 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 NOOOOOO gen ai can never be better than you, esp at art. rmr that !!!!!!!

have u watched the hi/pd movie 🙈

OKAY LMFAO this is the most curious ask i have ever gotten for my characters and its frying me so bad 😭😭😭😭😭😭BUT HERE WE GO

nb oc: you clocked her tea. yes. she absolutely reads fanfics. have probably written a few when she was young. however i think shes outgrown it as she grew up bcs of work and other life circumstances

cnbl oc: shes aware they exist. probably have run into an abo fanfic of charles x magneto with mpreg and went ???? and shes never looked back since idkk

tlp oc: she respects it but shes not a fan (boo!)

idol jk oc: she despises the internet but she def knows the existence of fanfics. havent read any tho!!! ALTHO! she would def stumble upon those headcanon-ish(?) videos on tiktok abt jungkook and laugh to herself bcs "???? he would not say that" 😭😭😭😭

grumpy jk oc: prob not really the type to get hyperfixated on any media to read fanfics about it so yeh, no

haiii yes i did get admitted and i actually came back last week too 🫩 lmfaoo the ao3 curse was THAT bad … but im going to finish nb or die trying TRUST

its from this first year trio illustration for the hidden inventory movie(? i think??) by gege!!

hi i suffer from this disease very often. but i find consuming media related to what i want to write about really helpful! if im writing ceo jk then i go back to some stuff ive read/watched b4 for inspo. like the kdrama business proposal. like this manhwa called despite the risk. tiktok edits.. and some dynamics from smth i just saw that fits the ceo jk vibe etc etc. and tbh with u i just try really hard to just... picture him as ceo jk. when my mind slips to the thought of like,,, ohh f1 driver jungkook would look good asf the angel on my shoulder reminds me Hey girl Thats not our priority right now and that actually does wonders for me!
