#nini.updates

it's been a while since i was last active, but i was pleasantly surprised to log back and see that so many people are still reading my works! coming back here briefly and re-reading some of my past works really reminded me of how much i enjoyed writing and sharing my works with you all.

life update: i graduated from my master's program! things are kind of hectic as i'm job hunting and working as a research assistant at the same time. but i'm currently enjoying my last summer in the city my university is located in before moving back to my hometown.

i've also been writing a lot and have been holding a lot of writing sessions at cafés with @ppangjae!! we've both been productive during those sessions and hopefully, one of us will be able to publish something before the end of the year lmao. (send us good vibes, thank yew♡). (no pressure, alex, winkwonk).

i'm still working on my wips, and have a few wips that i have yet to reveal that i did hint at previously. but rest assured that they will be completed and will be published (my goal is to finish those three before the end of the year).

i am also planning on completing ten reasons why i hate you before the end of summer (i.e., end of august/september). there are three chapters left, including the epilogue, and i just need to polish/edit them before publishing them (aka i need to stop being a lazy ass lol).

hello, hello, hello! i believe an update post is long overdue. and yes, if it wasn’t obvious, i’m alive!! (but just barely hanging there). 

i know i said that i was going to update once i’ve settled in the new city and after getting used to grad school, but these past few months have been brutal in terms of workload and having — or trying to have — a healthy work/school-life balance. tbh, the next semester’s going to be brutal as well so i don’t want to keep making empty promises and say that i will update soon when i barely have the time for myself. 

with that being said, i’m also not saying that i’m giving up on writing completely. i still have a couple of fics and requests that i need to complete/post/write, and even if i am hella busy, i actually don’t see myself leaving tumblr or even closing this blog down. or even if i am planning on closing this blog down, it won’t be for a hot while. 

i’ll try my best to post/update these for 2023: 

complete my one-year anniversary requests 

current status: 17/22 completed

complete ten reasons why i hate you 

current status: 5/10 chapters posted 

complete un amour d’été timestamps mini-series 

current status: 2/5 timestamps posted

post pandora’s box 

current wc: 9089 

just a lot of world-building to do since it’s the first book of a trilogy and everything has to make sense for jaehyun’s and taeyong’s stories 

post tabula rasa 

current wc: 5333 

also just a lot of world-building since it’s an isekai!au + sci-fi fic

post a promise of infinity 

current wc: 6901 

lowkey lost a lot of inspo for this fic so it’s at the bottom of my priorities but who knows 

i have a lot more fics in my drafts/google docs drive, but i thought it’d be best to have a sort of list of fics for me to focus, as opposed to writing wtv fic i want (which is still what i do most of the time, but i wanted something more concrete). 

speaking of fics in my drafts, these are the ones that i’ve been working on the most (aka, they all have around 1~5k words written, not just an idea or a synopsis): 

god complex: 

neurosurgeon!jaehyun x cardio surgeon!female surgeon 

angst, romance, slice of life, fluff, exes-to-lovers!au 

racine de l’arborescence: 

demigod!jaehyun x demigod!female reader 

romance, friendship, action, slight angst, drama, greek myth!au, pjo!au 

for the thrill of the ride: 

richboy!jaehyun x streetracer!female reader 

romance, action, richkid!au 

(take it) with a pinch of salt: 

chef!jaehyun x food critic!female reader 

romance, comedy, enemies-to-lovers!au 

you wish me well, i wish you hell: 

ice dancer!jaehyun x ice dancer!female reader! x ice dancer!johnny 

romance, drama, love triangle, enemies-to-lovers!au

spinning out: 

hockey player!mark x figure skater!female reader 

romance, drama, enemies-to-lovers!au, college!au, athletes!au

hope you are all excited!! let me know which fic are you most excited about in my ask/inbox!!! (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ♥

the wip’s page will be updated after the month of november is done. so, anything you see on it up until today is either already released or will be released. i won’t be posting anything else. surfers’ paradise will be on hiatus until further notice due to lack of feedback/comments.

i’ve been travelling around europe with my family since the beginning of the month and will continue travelling until the end of the month!!

i won’t be writing during this time, but i will definitely be posting something when i get back from my travels!
