Who is the ship? Kim and Chay

Explicit? Nope. It's not at all. But the connection between Kim and Chay is amazing. Even if you usually read the explicit stuff this one is worth your time.

Why should you read this fic?

Kim is Wik, our favorite pop star by day but going on missions for his dad by night. He meets Chay (in a dark alley no less) and Chay recognizes his idol. Kim it turns out has already been stalking Chay a bit online and poof, sparks fly.

Chay is drawn into the world of his idol and the Mafia as the events of the show happen. Kim finds someone who can see him clearly and still adore him.

The chapters flow easily from one to the other. The author clearly is delighted to be writing and their enjoyment comes thru.

Final thoughts:

For me, this is a top tier fic of the KP fandom. It's one of my go-tos when I need some comfort and solace and it never lets me down. If you haven't read much KimChay or limit yourself to KinnPorsche or other explicit material you are missing out to skip this one. It's very well written and is deliciously long so you get to immerse yourself fully into the world.

My dear Kimchay ficwriters, 

I invite you to participate in my undergrad research which is me analyzing my creative process of writing a kimchay oneshot. The research consists in an autoethnography which is “a research method that uses personal experience to describe and interpret cultural texts, experiences, beliefs, and practices”. However, for me to do this in a satisfactory way I need to have other people's experiences to contrast with my own. I’m just accepting Kimchay ficwriters because I want everyone involved to have the same basic background: obsessed with Kimchay and write fics about them.

To participate in the research, you need to become part of the discord server ‘kimchay ficwriters group’ and interact with me and the rest of the group. We have three main channels: 

Question and Answers: As the research moves forward, I’ll post questions for you to answer. As we just started, there’s no questions yet.

Discussion Zone: every few days we’ll have rounds of discussions about different topics related to fanfiction (writing process, outlines, tropes, squicks, etc) and kimchay (characterization, headcanons, interesting plots, things you want to explore or would like to read about, etc).

Thesis Fic: There are 9 threads and, in each thread, there’s a scene from the fic I’ll write about in my research. This is the part, the participants give me feedback about the story. I need honesty because the whole point is for me to write about the struggles and feelings that might arise while writing fic. 

How the information will be handled: I won’t reveal any kind of personal/sensitive information about the participants, only your AO3 username (or Wattpad username, if that’s the platform you use). However, I might use a lot of excerpts from our conversations, which is expected if you agreed to be part of my group research. Keep in mind, if you accept it this is a commitment, because I really need your help to develop my research. It’s something you need to give your attention at least once a week for a certain amount of time. That also means you’ll have to read my writing, so if you don’t know my writing style and want to read before committing to anything, you can go over my AO3 and read one of my fics. 

If you want to participate, send me an ask or a DM and I’ll send you the invitation for the discord server. If you know any Kimchay ficwriter that might be interested in participating, send this post to them!
