About KIBHOY

Hello everyone,

 

I think I owe you an explanation about why I decided to remove KIBHOY.

I always have and still do really appreciate the support and love that I got for that story.

It was a hard decision for me, because I worked hard for over a year on that story, and I met some really amazing people through it, too. It probably holds just as many fond memories for me that it does for you.

But, as many of you may know or have noticed, I no longer belong to the Super Junior fandom for a variety of reasons; some of these reasons are intrinsic to the band itself and some of them for other reasons. While the story itself still holds good memories for me, the entire experience of supporting Super Junior doesn't.

Of course I know that it is selfish of me to penalize all of you who have been nothing but amazing throughout it all, whether you were there since the beginning or whether you joined us later, and I am deeply sorry. However, with recent events, I felt that I no longer wanted the work that was created in support of Super Junior to be listed under my name.

In the meanwhile, I will still be writing, and while I know that appreciation for an author doesn't often carry between fandoms most times (I know it certainly doesn't for me), if you are still willing to read from me, I would love your company.

Thank you for everything. You have no idea how much your comments touched me, and thank you for sharing some of your own personal experiences on that story. I'll probably never have such an amazing experience again.

Thank you so, so much.

 

Sincerely,

Janie

No se si alguna vez leas esto y puedas entenderlo, espero que sí.
Llevo años buscando esta historia, y apenas ahora vengo a encontrar esto.
La explicación del por que la borraste, aunque realmente no lo entiendo si te soy sincera. Si, ya no apoyas a Super Junior, eso lo entiendo pero alguna vez lo hiciste y por ello escribiste el fic y dejarme decirte que fue uno de los mejores que he leído y han sido muchos creeme y merece la pena ser compartido y que la gente lo lea. Fue uno de los primeros fics que leí y me pareció lo más maravilloso y a la vez triste que he leído en mi vida. Lloré con cada golpe y rechazo que Kyu recibió, estaba tan bien escrito y detallado que lo sentí tan real, fue tan conmovedor.
De verdad me entristece que ya no este. Ansio tanto leerlo nuevamente, lo ame, no lo amo y realmente sigo esperando poder volverlo a leer en algún momento porque este fics es muy especial no sólo para mí para muchas y merece ser leído.
Tal vez en algún momento futuro cambies y decidas publicarlo nuevamente, si eso ocurre aquí estaré esperando.

Hello, I don't usually go around and talk with other people since I'm a little shy and all. But your story really moved me.... So I decided to talk uh... about how I love your story I guess.
Well, first of all, I'm a late fan.... When I finally knew about this wonderful and amazing story, it had already been removed. But I read a lot of recommend and review about it, and since I'm a er for realistic bandfics, I really want to read it. And by some magical power, I found a translated version of your story, though it's not completed yet. It has came to about chapter 60. Although, I was little bit wary since I don't enjoy reading unfinished story.... but I still decided to read those 60 chapters..... And to be honest I don't know if it was a good or bad decision. Those 60 chaps are very emotional, completely and utterly amazing. And I really felt compassion with your story. As, I can still feel the tension between members (maybe I'm just look into things to much) or the sunbae-hoobae relationship just really ticks me of. I come from Asia so yeah I understand the "weird" tradition of respecting elders even though some of them doesn't deserve to be respect. I just... I was moved and cry for at least 20 chapters of those. But since the story is no longer uh...available(?), I was left hanging and craving for more. I really wanted to know how things went. I even try to search it in language that I don't speak.... but still it wasn't very optimistic. And I'm just kind of disappointed as I will never know the ending of this wonderful story.
And I understand where you came from and why you decide to remove the story. As I myself, sometimes don't really agree with some members (and sometimes the fandom itself). The only thing keeping me is my own bias in the group. He is working hard and I just don't want to leave him (even though he may never know how much I'm rooting for him). So I respect your decision. I commented just to send you my (late???) love for this wonderful story. Thank you very much. You have worked hard ^^

Before finding this post, I would check in about every other month to see if the status on KIBHOY had changed and I could access it again. So it saddens me to hear that I will no longer have the opportunity to read your wonderful story again and that we have lost such a creative member of the fan community as well. Nonetheless, I want to thank you for giving me and many other fans the opportunity to read such a great story and I wish you luck on your future stories as well. I do hope that one day you will be willing to share this fantastic work with the community again. Until then, good luck and thank you!

Please can you give me a chance to read that wonderful story "Kyuhyun ... It's been hard on you."
I really want to read it again. I understand and respect your thinking, but if you really value your readers please give us the opportunity to be able to read or save this magnificent work.

Hi Janie,

I'm so sad to hear this, but I do completely understand where you are coming from. Thank you for clarifying this, as I was completely stunned to have found the story I have loved reading for many years to have been removed and I did not see this blog post at first. I wanted to ask you a question very humbly, as I had been wondering this for a long time now; did you completely remove the story from AFF (and so is it completely gone) or is the draft still on your account? (as I saw the story was placed on draft status). If there is a chance you still have the draft, I would be so happy and grateful to read it for one last time, and I would not publish it anywhere of course. But anyhow, thank you for having written such an amazing and touching story so many of us have enjoyed reading during all those years. The amount of work you put in it is just unbelievable. The story has meant a lot to me and has given me so much, I have reread it at least 7 times and I will definitely treasure its memories forever:). It will always remain my favorite story. You are an amazing writer, and I am glad to hear you are still writing stories, because your writing is an amazing gift. Keep up the good work and thank you once again for everything.

Why? just because you no longer belong to SJ fandom or you don't want to associate yourself to them.. you've decided to delete it without informing us.. ㅠㅠ

You said, you appreciated us, you got to meet amazing people and you have fond memories from that story.. Will you at least reconsider to reupload it again for us? At least, let us have a copy before you delete it again.. I mean, I know you're the one who wrote it and you can decide whatever you want to do in your story, but at least inform us before you do that because it hurts.. why i said that? because for me, that's the first fanfic I've read, my Favorite story and it's really special to me.. ㅠㅠㅠ Please please please and I'm begging you to reconsider to reupload it again.. Let US have a copy or print it to PDF so we can download it before you delete it again, pleaseee ㅠㅠㅠ

Will You? ㅠㅠ

P.S. I only know this yesterday and I can't help but to feel uneasy regarding this (you know it from my pm to you =D).. I hope you'll grant our request and give us a time to have a copy of your story (It's Christmas and I hope you'll reconsider and give us a gift)..

Hoping for your response

I know it has been said many times by a lot of different people, and I know that I probably won't say anything that it hasn't been said before... but KIBHOY is a fanfiction that really helped me when I was having a bad, bad time... after a long time I decided to read it again but it just wasn't there anymore and this really breaks my heart because not only it is a beautiful fanfiction, but also because of the strenght and support that it gave me when i needed it. I'm writing this because I wanted to ask you if it was possible for you to at least send me the draft, if you hopefully still have it, and i promise i'll just keep it for myself, i won't publish it anywhere. Please contact me for the answer and thank you very much for the hard work you put in yor fics.

Hi janie. I really love the fanfic KIBHOY as it was the very first fanfic that I have ever read. If you still have the draft for it, is it possible if you can send it to me. I really wanted to read it again after my exams but it's gone now.... Can you please reply me whether it is possible for you to send me a draft of it. I would really appreciate it and even up till now, you are the best writer I have ever seen. Please think about my request carefully. I would be very grateful if you did agree. Thank you so much.

I love your writing style. Your stories are fun to read, especially the HoMin ones. I won't lie, I'm mostly a HoMin fic reader. I will always support you. Thank you for sharing your stories with us and I hope you continue writing HoMin fics. ❤️❤️

On ao3 you can orphan a fic so it isn't connected to you... Maybe you could do that?

I wonder if you've just put it in draft and not deleted you could maybe give us one final week to read and enjoy it before it's gone forever?? I'll even bribe you with a homin official folder ;) (do you have it?? so shippy.. will swap for pdf of your fic lol) I'm the opposite way around, started all dbsk and moved to suju... still love homin and jyj but it was a sad fandom for me!
