my hiatus + thoughts on the future

so as you guys may have noticed, I haven't been active of late. The reason for it is this:

I've been pretty much writing fics non-stop since... August? September last year? So it's not that I'm getting sick of it... mainly I'm all ficced out. The last ~5 prompts I had didn't really speak to me the way I would have liked them to, which was frustrating. So I'm just taking a little break from prompts to wind down, relax, and write some stuff on my own time without feeling that extra 'pressure' of owing someone something and having that hang over my head. Don't get me wrong, I love writing prompts: I just needed a break.

I am still writing though! I've got an ongoing taepyo thing at the moment, as well as my jaeco fic that I haven't finished and a new fic I've just started – jaeco, set in the future. I've never really done a future!fic before so I'm excited to give it my best shot!

As to when prompts will be open again, I have no idea. Maybe another month or two. I will update here when I reopen :)

Aaaand the future. I'm thinking about expanding my repotoire so to speak. I've recently got into VIXX and BTS and I am very seriously considering writing fanfiction for those two groups. I think that this would be a great experience for me as I think it would help with me not feeling so 'ficced out' with Block B.

The only problem is I am verrry apprehensive with writing for new groups. I feel like I really have to immerse myself into that group for a long time before I have the courage to write them. Like, it's irrational, but I want to make sure I get the relationships between the members right (to put this in perspective, it would be like me writing Kyung and Zico never talking to each other. It just doesn't happen). And that's always something I'm paranoid about, which is why I'm hesistant to take the first step.

It also doesn't help that the last two times I wrote for other fandoms, it didn't go well (not to mention my horrendous olymfics 2ne1 fic, which is buried in the bowels of my computer and will never be released to the public). The SHINee fic didn't have enough ing detail in it, it's so damn generic it could literally be about any group or pairing, and it's too short for me to explore that world. The 2ne1 one just straight up .

So you can see why I'm hesitant to write fics for new fandoms. 

Maybe one day.
