I will try and make this post as brief as possible. It is, if you hadn't guessed, about the EXO/SM/Kris situation happening.

So, yes, obviously, I have been trying to follow it, but it is very difficult to distingush what is true and what isn't. As far as I know, nothing has been confirmed yet, so I am taking everything I see with a grain of salt until something is proven otherwise.

My personal opinion:

I love EXO. EXO is the group that got me into kpop, and that has really affected my life (inconsequentailly but also very consequentially at the same time). You lot know what I mean. A few years ago, I was poking fun at my sister for squealing over all the crazy music videos with Asian boys in it, and now I do exactly the same and couldn't imagine not doing that. And, EXO got me into that lovely, crazy life. 

So, the lawsuit. I don't like the situation, but I don't think anyone does. Not Yifan, not EXO, nor any of the fans. Whether I think Yifan was right or wrong to do what he did, I don't want to really touch on. I can see reasons to back both opinions, but no one except him can truly know the reasons behind his actions. I just hope and trust he is doing what will make him happy and healthy. Meanwhile, my heart is going out to the rest of EXO. Again, I can only imagine what they are going through and I hope and trust they are doing what makes them happy and healthy as well. I don't know what to say about Yifan not being a part of EXO anymore (that fact is still unconfirmed, but yes, I am thinking about the possiblity). I mean, what can I say? It makes me sad. It's hard to imagine, because the term OT12 has seemed so solid, up until now. It breaks my heart.

But. I don't want to dwell on that longer than necessary. I think the best I (we) can do is to just take each day as it comes. Don't spread rumours, don't spread hate. If you are angry or frustrated, I think that's okay, but tearing a person down is a whole other thing that I don't think is acceptable. 

I am going to just try and stay positive and keep the boys in my prayers.

In regards to my fics:

For the fics that are currently ongoing, I am going to try and keep them the same (as in, I am not suddenly going to just pretend Yifan does not exist when he is clearly in the stories). For example, I have a vaguely clear (is that even possible) plan for Soul Instinct that includes Yifan as a character for at least the next few chapters, and I am planning to stick to that atm. 

For future fics, I am not entirely sure. Since the situation itself is still a mess of flying rumours, it is hard to say. If Yifan ends up no longer being a part of EXO, it will feel a bit weird to write him in fics that are EXO fics. I'm not saying I won't, but I'm not saying I will. I suppose I'll worry about that when the time comes.

Right now, I've got tons of exams to write, so that is what I will be sticking my head into. Once again, this is just my personal opinion. I am not trying to be mean, rude, or insulting, and if you comment, please try and show the same courtesy. Thank you!
