so i first put this out in december of 2020 as like a christmas/new year surprise so its been quite a while and i havent finished it yet🤡

how i planned it: i just knew i wanted to make a series where it was connected. not something where the series is the plot of the entire thing (like lost cities which is another work im going to continue later). but i just wanted to make one where all the members were in one universe.

with that idea, i obviously needed to have a theme or au universe. so the basic one i knew was university au, but i wasnt sure how i would just tie it around that because then it would get repetitive, so i added the cafe au in there.

the names were just coffee orders that i googled lol. and for the title ‘the coffee house diaries’ my friend and i both brainstormed ideas til we ended up with what it is.

as for the plots, i started with wooyoungs. i didnt even have a clue what i wanted to do with the others. but then once i finished it, and i had a little break in between with other projects, i found motivation and made a whole outline that lists the basic ideas of what i wanted to happen for the other stories.

once that was down, i kinda of just went from there. but i have to redo hongjoongs because it was deleted💔 curse you google. but yeah, that was the thought process lol.
