Anonymous asked: OMG!!!! This blog is so amazing. Hands down some of the best writing in the fandom. Your story '42nd moon' was soooo good and haunting that I can't stop thinking about it!! Anyway, I noticed that there are no Jeongin stories on your blog. It's hard to find good Jeongin stories of the same caliber as the members for some reason. Like, how does he not inspire people to write? He's been serving nothing but hot looks since last year. Please write something about him 🥺Preferably dark and angsty 👀❤

Thank you for the compliments! We hope to put out more things in the future that you’ll enjoy too! As for Jeongin, we’ve touched on a similar ask in Ask 3. I think it’s because of his age that he’s a little harder to write for. Unfortunately, we aren’t taking requests, but if there comes a time when we do open that up, feel free to drop on by with a Jeongin idea!

I currently don’t have plans for a part two, but thanks for liking it enough to want a continuation of it! 

Anonymous asked: matters of the head and heart was so good! they’re interactions were super cute i loved reading it! ur so talented <3

Thank you so much! Writing the interactions was my favorite part, so I’m glad you liked them! I loved subverting the usual trope of the man pursuing the woman, and having the fic take place in a more stringent society made it interesting to explore.

@marblesmarbles asked: Your fic Matters of the Head and Heart takes place in the exact time period and location that the fic I'm outlining does. I love the writing style and how the narration fits the colloquialism of the dialogue. 

You also seem to be knowledgeable of the food and mannerisms of the time period. How did you do the research to learn how to write like this? It's lovely to read, and Felix is simply adorable. I haven't finished it yet, but im eager to hear your thoughts

This is probably the best compliment I have ever received on my writing. Thank you so much! I’ve never written a historical AU before this one, so you can imagine the state of my heart when I read this.

The fic was partially inspired by a book series I read that took place in steampunk 1850s London, so while reading it, I guess I absorbed some of that information. There was a lot of emphasis on etiquette and whole scenes about learning how to act in a particular situation. I referenced the books quite frequently when it came to the fashion and dancing. Other than that, there were a lot of Google searches of “victorian XXX” and “1850s XXX.” 

As for narration and writing style, I tried to sound as formal as possible. I did my best to use as little contractions as I could in the narration parts and only used them mostly in dialogue. I’m sure I slipped up throughout the fic though. I also tried to sound detached? in the narration. I’m not sure how to explain it, but most of the details in the fic were about visible descriptions and less about how Felix was feeling in the moment. Weirdly enough, putting on a very bad British accent while rereading some lines helped.
