Why I don't write EXO fanfictions anymore

So a while back I used to always write exo fanfictions, in fact I was a huge exo fan in general, and to be honest I still am, just not as much.

The whole reason I like kpop, is because of the groups and the way they take care of each other and how close their relationships are, because groups with people who hate each other isn't nice, I've realised this and the fact that it's not just about the music, but how the music is made, to me now is very important.

However recently exo seem to be drifting apart from each other, now it is SM mostly to blame for this, but in general I would like to see them stick together more. I know they want to go and do their own things, in their dramas, movies, etc, but for me now I hardly see exo as a 'group' anymore. Whenever I see them they're either in two's, three's, or they're alone, which makes me sad. I know that they are together as a group, just it seems not as much as before.

Basically they're not the same as they once were, I used to think that members leaving wouldn't change that, but now I'm realising that I was wrong. They just don't connect like they used to, and I even remember reading in an article once where Suho even said it himself that they're not as close as they were (although of course he still loves and takes care of the members).

And then there's the whole Lay situation: Yixing is my bias, I love him because of how hard-working he is, how loyal he is, and how determined he is. He's one of the idols I really look up to because of his determination, however there have been rumours going around that he will be leaving soon.

It pains me to say this but I've seen this coming; I've seent the way SM have gone and let him done his own thing, and then promoted the rest of exo like they don't even care. They're using Yixing like a little extra toy, letting him do his promotions as he endlessly mentions exo and how much he loves them and how good they are, while slowly pushing him away and moving on with exo themselves. Yixing cares for exo, I really, really believe that, because if he didn't he wouldn't even bother with all the things he's done while still in China, I think that SM knows this too and to be honest they can't be bothered and decided to let Yixing do his own thing while pushing exo away to go do their own thing, doing the whole 'you can come if you like but you seem to be busy so...'

And then there's the fandom: I have met so many nice exo-l's, but sometimes it seems like they just don't care! If Yixing is going to leave SM, then please act with a bit of sympathy because I think that's the last thing he wants to do right now in his current situation. 

Here's why I posted this > http://www.koreaboo.com/trending/netizens-claim-lay-is-out-of-exo-after-exclusion-from-limited-edition-merchandise/

The comments the most disgust me, the last one is okay, but the other two just dismiss him like he hasn't, I dunno, been with exo through thick and thin, helped them out with their Chinese, been the last Chinese member, cared for the members, literally the list goes on.

 

For fanfictions in particular, I like to take elements of real friendship, the chemistry of the group, etc, but if the group is falling apart, I really can't do that.

That's why I've been doing more B.A.P fanfictions on this new account I've created, not because I'm leaving EXO-L, I'm just not going to be writing exo fanfictions anymore.

EXO are the first kpop group I was introduced to, and I will never forget that, no matter if it's 12, 11, 10, 9, or 8, I will love them because they work hard for their dreams. I only wish that if a member is going to leave, then the fandom will not ditch exo but sympathise with them and feel for them and act like they care at the least. I love exo, I always will, just not as much as I used to.

 

I really don't want Yixing to go: I will miss him being EXO's Lay.
