Update? I've awakened from my grave

Code of Love

Hey y'all!

Nash here! Fellow new jicheol shippers may not know who tf I am (lmao Nash, I bet no one even remember your very existence in the first place), but I'm the writer of Code of Love on AFF and AO3 (the story had been taken down entirely from AO3 though).

I've been MIA for the past few years due to real life commitments and even announced my departure from both Tumblr and Twitter— my fanfics included. So yeah, I just thought people are aware that Code of Love will never reach its conclusion.

However, I was surprised to know that a number of you have been asking me to finish the plot, or an update at the very least, especially on my AFF here, where I was flooded with comments of such. I was only made aware of this last Saturday when Suzy eventually cracked the vault open. 

To be very honest, Code of Love was supposed to be a 30 chaptered fic, with a sequel set in stone several years after the whole ordeal in CoL. Yes, I did plan a sequel. I don't know what was I thinking, when I couldn't even finish CoL lmao. I also had preplanned the general structure of the whole plot and even wrote half of the ending I was going for. Sadly, the ending never came.

I guess CoL has been put on hold for so long, huh? Well, I won't be returning to Twitter or Tumblr, given that social media is no longer my cup of tea. But the good news is: I'll be continuing CoL from where I left off years ago and will definitely wrap it up for good this time. Unfortunately, there won't be a sequel as I had planned, but at least you'll get the definite conclusion you've been waiting for.

Suzy will help me post and update the following chapters here Bless her kind heart for this. If many of you do want me to crosspost on AO3, I'll consider it, I guess? My old readers might even have forgotten this fanfic as it has been on complete stall for so long now, but do note that I might change the flow of plot to few chapters cause I myself am not happy with the direction it is heading.

To over 1000+ subscribers who are still subscribed to CoL here on AFF, I wanna thank you for sticking around for my lame fic. Also to those who commented, voted and tweeted, asking me to finish CoL (yeah, I've been lurking), thank you— I never had expected that there are still people who wanna read CoL.

To my old jicheol mutuals, you know who you are (Ennie, Ann, Lae, Eun etc— oh god sorry that I can't seem to pick out names rn ;;;), I've missed you. Thank you for spazzing over jicheol with me back then when there was hardly any jicheol content. I hope you girls are doing fine.

I shall post an update to CoL by end of this week. Thank you so much for sticking around. Please do keep supporting Code of Love.

 

With much love,

Nash 💜

Chapter 19: Chapter 15: hi! even though some of this is not related to the fic, i feel like i need to tell you.

i found jicheol first through aff and ended up reading an ongoing fic in 2016. that's how i discovered my new ship. i ended up going through the tag on aff. i started reading all the jicheol fics i could find at that time. that's how i found this fic, too. reading the story and i thought it was a really new concept to me as i had never read something with a 'barcode' concept before.

and why i want to tell you this is because i didn't even know how they looked when i first read their fic. after i tried to search jicheol gifs on tumblr, i slipped into the jicheol life really hard. your amazing gifs made me fell in love with jicheol, of how their moments are rare but very heartwarming... ever since predebut they've been going at it.

thank you for making me a jicheol shipper. i'm really thankful that i get to discover this amazing friendship/relationship.

also, i'm really happy you decided to continue this fic till the end. it's one of my favorite from back in the days when i just discovered jicheol and i hope i can see the ending that they deserve after all the pain they have to go through...

i suggested posting the fic on ao3 to ranasungmin too on twitter. i think due to time... people kinda grew out of aff? i mostly see more updates and active readers/writers on ao3 now. i really hope you will post there too since i feel like this story needs to be read by all the jicheol shippers and of course, it deserves all the love it can get.

thank you for wanting to continue this. despite everything else you mentioned, i still love this fic a lot.

<3
