CAFC + Feature

spoilers!


 

I think writing and posting Closets are for Clothes really put me on the grid. It was one of my first major fics, and the amount of subs it achieved in its initial run was very ?? overwhelming?? This was two years ago, but I still remember how much fun it was seeing everyone react to every twist in the story.

CAFC was featured, as some of you may know, the week of September 6th, and now that it's finally off everyone's radars I'm kind of... glad? OTL

I'm not gonna lie, that fic is pretty shotty. I can say this because I can judge my own writing, but it makes me uncomfortable reading CAFC from where I am now LOOOL with the exception of some, the character development is out of whack, the is weak, and I still think the ending was the worst thing while most people think that was the selling point. .." I dunno, I don't like the fic at all but it does well commercially, so I sit here reading the influx of nice comments like '... ?? y'all must be losing ur marbles'. 3000 subs is crazy. That's half of my university LOL. It even had a close call with a plagiarism issue, and several (??) translations underway. wow.

I'm gonna share some tidbits I found from it's development process! The order in which they were voted off was determined by a bot. In other words, it was completely random LOL and I built the story around that. (BLAME THE BOT FOR JONGIN'S DEPARTURE!) Before it's current title, some other titles it was supposed to have were: Go Rainbow or Go Home and Come into the Closet. Episode 10 is where the contestants walk through a haunted house, but originally it was to be a trivia quiz episode (now that I think about it, I think the trivia would've been better OTL).

Here's the first poster I made for it:

(... I know... don't ... don't talk about it). I can't tell what I was thinking from my notes, but apparently Jongin and Luhan were supposed to have a love line?? hmm. Also, I guess I liked that episode where they go to the amusement park and all the eliminated contestants were in shirts and ties so I drew stuff for it.

I don't draw like this anymore, so you can expect way better stuff if I feel like it haha. There are more drawings (featuring the other couples) but they're SUPER embarassing so over my dead body c: I'll most likely change the cover posters as well! AND ONE MORE THING, right after CAFC ended I started an epilogue where the contestants meet up one year after show, and that was were I was supposed to introduce a second season... well, there's no epilogue. So there's no season two.

I've had thoughts about writing it again, maybe SPELLING BRUNET THE RIGHT WAY THIS TIME, but the thing's unique (?) in itself ig :> ngl I thought about writing a pg-13 version for Seventeen. That probably won't happen though, don't ask LOL

But yeah, those are my thoughts on my newfound Internet fame!!! I can't wait to tell my first date that I've got two fanfic features under my belt. Totes girlfriend material right here, hit me up!!!!!! /bricked/ and a big hello to everyone who added me recently! I apologize in advance for me.

Night!
