RETIRING FROM YUNJAE/TVXQ FAN FICTION WRITING

I guess I never thought it would come to this point, but it did.

Most of you know I did retire from the TVXQ fandom back in early 2018, but I did continue to write YunJae as it was the only pairing I saw myself connected to. Their songs continue to inspire me to write, I have always been an OT5 deep in my heart, and that has not changed.

But I have also explored myself to the point that I know this is irrevocable. It is a decision that needs to be made.

I have no inspiration to write YunJae. I have had a writer's block for months now with my YunJae stories. I do not think I will see myself writing any more YunJae. I will come back to writing (eventually, I just have been very busy. And I do write, but just a chapter here and there and absolutely not YunJae related), just not YunJae. I might do a one-shot once in a blue moon if I feel like it, but a full length story? It will not happen.

Will I delete my stories? Absolutely no. They will remain open. Will I eventually transfer them to my new fandom? Yes. AFF will solely be for YJ and all my stories that are completed will be for everyone's joy to read. They will remain here for many, many years to come.

I never felt this way before. I always thought I would never write anything that was not YunJae, but it did happen. As hard as it sounds, it came to the point to move on. I have been solely writing YunJae since 2007. In 2019-2020, I started to softly move, but it has never been this bad. The decision wasn't taken lightly, it has been in my mind for many, many months now.

And it has come to the point of saying goodbye once and for all. There is no need for me to continue to hold when the connection is not there anymore.

I will always cherish the good times I had as a YunJae author. I will always be grateful for all the support, the memories, and the good friends I have made along the way. If anyone wants to continue to support me, I will be on AO3 moving forward.

Thank you, everyone. Farewell.

 

Najaeri, 2021.
