The Problem Children Q&A

Heyy, here's the Q&A! I got quite a bit PMs for this, but I have a lot of stuff to do so for now I'll try to answer a few:

Q: Is Jung Juyeon a Problem Child?

A: Haha, i think I talked about this in one chapter, but I'll do it again. I thought about it before, and it would have been really fun to see Juyeon explore being a Problem Child. Unfortunately, it made no sense in the context of the story (because the government actively keeps tabs on PCs, so there is really no possible way for her to have not known anything about PCs for so long), and I really liked having the main character being a total fish out of water. I feel like it's easier to introduce the world of the PCs and the story in general through the eyes of a girl who knows nothing about it, so the readers can follow along with her as she discovers more and more about PCs.

So long story short, no, she is not. There are no twists to this, she's absolutely human.

 

Q: Can you put together a list of characters?

I'll work on a blog post with all the characters introduced in the story at some point lol. And don't worry, I'll update it as more characters get introduced.

 

Q: Will you include EXO-M?

I will tell you this: they will show up, but not in this story. I am currently working on a sequel to The Problem Children, and it will take place during Juyeon's last year at Academia Mysteria and include the members of EXO-M. But any more information than that is a secret~

 

Q: Is this story a harem?

I've been thinking about this since I started building up Juyeon's relationship. In some stories I write, the love interest is clearly defined from the beginning. When it comes to stories like this, where there are lots of love interests and relationships being built up, I usually decide who will end up together based on how much chemistry I feel like they have in my story. But after a long while, I think this story is gearing towards being a harem. So, basically, YES IT'S A HAREM ^^

 

Q: What the heck's up with Juyeon's past with her parents?

Thaaaat is a secret~~~~

 

Q: Will you reveal EXO's past?

All in due time, my dears. All in due time.

 

Q: Who do you ship with Juyeon?

Haha, hmmm. Probably Sehun with Juyeon, to be honest. They don't exactly have the best relationship right now, but there's a reason why I introduced him first. There is a scene that will occur in the very end of the story that will essentially be the romantic highlight, and the first one I thought of was Sehun's, before any of the others'. 

 

Q: How do you write your story?

I am always super busy with both school, personal life, other stories, and a constant stream of writer's block. This is why I have a two week period in-between updates instead of one week. It gives me time to write ahead so I don't rush and write something totally ty lol.

The way I write is I usually have a clear beginning and a clear ending to my story. The middle is always a very difficult part for me, because I have the endpoint in mind but I don't know how to get there. The best thing, honestly, is to think of the characters. I'm a very character-oriented writer, so to me I think of how my character starts off and how they end up, and what parts of them change. From there, it's just a matter of what happens in the story to make the character change that way. Something like that, I guess?

 

That's it for now. Thank you so much, guys! Please wait for the next update ^^

Usually I am not a fan of harem stories (who am I kidding? I love Exo and somehow manage to get tangled up in a ton of them, but have so far not yet read one all the way to the end), but I don't think I mind in this case. In fact, I totally ship her with all of them and will cry forever should she break even one of their hearts. You just made the relationships too good! I'm all for close friendships and stuff, but it's clear that there's romantic feelings for her from all of them and vice versa, so I really hope this turns out to be a harem story and not just one love interest because I think that would fit the story best. Of course, this is only my opinion and I am not telling you what to do in any way. I love your writing and I'm sure that whatever you do will be great. Seriously, this has quickly become one of my favorite stories on here, as well as my latest obsession. I can't wait for your next update!

Hmm just saying, I ship her with Sehun cause why ever not? I mean who doesn't love seeing the cold, "I feeling nothing and is a stone face" guy fall for the girl? And I so ship her with D.O cause he's so gentle and fragile yet strong and I just surprisingly like them together(D.O usaully doesn't have my attention) and lastly, I ship her with Suho! Again, he's gentle and sweet! Also for all 3, I love their chemistry the most!

You organize this story veeeeeery well. I know pcs from koreykrypta's rec list and I know why exactly she recomends your story. Not only because the story is sooo interesting but also so many other reasons, especially the characterisation...
And after I read all the chapters in 3 days, I realize that I need to remember everything because that will be a hint for the upcoming chapters..
Fightiing, I'll wait for monday/when the story update/hohoho ^,^b.....

Nooooooo!!!! This can't be harem story! No! Omg how can I read this? I am not a fan of harem but I somehow got involved in this one and I just couldn't stop now, could I? But I really don't like the idea of harem but I love this story. What should I do? Couldn't you just ended her up with Sehun since you like her with Sehun and I like Sehun and we all like Sehun hahahahha~ lol but ergh I don't know!

I wish for Sehun's love live of his own lol <3
