hello!!! I was tagged by @aezyrraesh !! Tysm this was a lot of fun!! Decided to put together a few for some of my favorite ocs <3

Vanya [Baldur's Gate Trilogy] || Grimalkin [The Outer Worlds] Lavinia Ward [Fallout 4/New Vegas] || Finny [The Witcher]

Just want to say that your Hyewon fic is in my top list of all the hyewon fics out there.

Cheers! 🍻

Thank you, Anon! That Hyewon fic was super fun to plan because I wanted a "dancing" scene and was experimenting with how to build up to the climactic reveal. I also wanted to be able to show more, not tell, (in the words of all my editors) while also trying to be as descriptive as possible. Cheers! 🍻

Heyyyy thanks mannnnn! A beer is good an all, but nothing beats a good whisky! And thank you, yes I’m working on something. It’s halfway done, the words aren’t just coming out because i might have overdone it. 😅

Here, have a Hayoung

Hello anon, finally people are getting into Bona! She has this energy of sexy and just switch into cute later.

I have an idea lined up for her, but not an immediate priority. Still need to gather up more energy and all, especially after all that happened to me. If and when I get going to it, I hope you’re still here and will enjoy it!

Well, I’m very late to the party. 😅.

I’d say $6 for Fromis_9, Dreamcatcher, and WJSN.

$4 for Apink

Notes do help motivate me! But it’s not the main thing. For me what really matters are the comments I get and that I’m having fun!

One big example for me is my Gahyeon fic. To be honest, I was pretty bummed out to see it didn’t get as much traction as my other works. I was thinking if it was because I was a new writer, or it was 10k words, or the topic was meh etc.

So it was a bit discouraging, especially because I want to show that in every new fic I do , I’m growing and learning as a writer.

That was until I got so many comments about how well I built that world, the characters, and fight scene, the story. I was really humbled. I realized I was focusing on the wrong things. Writing is a hobby after all, it’s supposed to be fun! I consider Undying to be one of my best works ever. It even got onto some of the other writers' top works, which made me so happy.

So now, the main quantifier for me is that when someone reads over my work, they tell me what I’ve improved on and how I can improve on. A fic that hits triple digits is already great for me!

And that is my Ted talk thank you
