Rant: Readers + Commenters + Discontinuation of GTN7
The Discontinuation of GTN7 Series
As you can see from the title, I’ve decided to discontinue all the fics I have written under the GTN7 series excluding trilogies (which are the Bad Behaviour and Growing Up ).
While my reasons may sound silly, I thought that it might be best for me to explain, rather than letting my readers (if there’s still any lol) waiting for any update.
GTN7 is not the first fic I’ve created on this website because I have been on this website since it was first created, but I have deactivated my account (this happened because winglin was shut down lmao – and my first story would be featuring Choi Minho regarding an arranged marriage, which was quite well known here, but I decided to delete it anyways).
I have to admit that I enjoyed writing GTN7 more than I supposed to, and before I began to lose my inspiration and motivation, I was writing for myself and for those two people who had stuck by me from the beginning until the end.
As you all can see, Young & Wasted is the only chaptered fic under GTN7 that I have finished. The reason? I was motivated to write it. I knew the storyline; I knew where the story is going. I enjoyed writing it because it felt like I’m sharing a small part of me with you all. And I really loved writing Y&W because I had supportive readers, who managed to motivate me and made my day.
But now that the people whom I wrote for are no longer on this website, it felt like I have no more purpose to write. I’m very sorry.
As for the other fanfics, I just lost my inspiration to write them. Not to mention that I am no longer updated with kpop as I am trying to get kpop out of my system for the umpteenth time.
Right now, I am only seeing the idols as mere models for me to write. I am just a normal fan, you see. I abandoned my twitter and blogs because I’m slowly starting to lose interest. And I hate to say this, lack of comments actually made me lose motivation.
Which is why, I’d rather not continue the fics.
I hope you all understand how hard it was for me to continue writing when it felt as if there was no one out there to read it. I’m not even going to go on how hard life outside asianfanfics now, because I’m pretty sure how you all know what it feels like when you’re going through A Levels.
What’s Going to Happen Bad Behaviour Series?
Calm your .
I’m not gonna lie when I said I enjoyed writing Dirty Little Secrets despite my lack experience of writing but I need you to calm your ing .
I’m not trying to be rude, but I noticed some of my readers from this fic, are very insolent. I’m not going to say names (if the shoe fits, then well…) but I extremely hate it when people just give me meaningless comments after reading my fic and then pressured to me to write a sequel.
I hate that this fic received so many subscribers, yet out of 3000+ (YES CAN U BELIEVE IT, 3000+) subscribers, only a few bothered to comment. And don’t get me started on the SO-MOTIVATIONAL-COMMENTS.
I don’t mind writing a sequel for you all, but a “sequel plz” “CONTINUE” “that’s all?” are really ty okay it made me feel like .
I feel so unappreciated??????
So of course, I decided to write a sequel if I managed to reach certain number of upvotes because that’s another way for THOSE WHO DOESN’T COMMENT OR LEAVE TY COMMENTS, would let me know that they do appreciate the hard work I put in writing this fic.
Funfact: I hate writing fics.
Funfact #2: I actually made research in writing , so the description would be less crappy.
Funfact #3: writing Dirty Little Secret (The Submissives’ Desire) was actually an experiment to see how many fans are there in asianfanfics.
So yeah, there ya go.
Conclusion from my experiment:
- Writing oneshot, although it’s ty, can make you able to reach a huge number of subscribers
- But of course, only a few would click the upvote button
- Drawback: only a few would bother to comment sincerely
- Another drawback: 85% of the commenters would ask for sequel, and 94.2% would comment stupid things in less than 10 words.
Also, there is one thing I really want to mention about me trying to get more subscribers and upvoters – it’s true lmao. I’m not gonna lie but I feel so underappreciated writing this fic, only to have more subscribers but so little comments. Trust me, the comments actually made my day more.
One user had the nerve to attack me, saying something along the lines of “you already have enough subscribers, what more do you want?” and "don't ask too much" and also "is this a trick"
And as much as I wanted to fire back, I only replied nicely because that’s what I do – being nice. But I’m done. I think. Lol.
To Whom It May Concern, do you really want to know what I want? I want you to start telling me the reason why I should create the sequel and the reason why you enjoyed my fic but yet, only comment ONCE just to tell me this. I want you to tell me the reason why you are still subscribed to my story, but never bother to comment or leave an upvote. I want you to tell me the reason why you enjoyed or did not enjoy my story at all.
This user had the nerve to ask me that when she/he commented once, which was that rude comment, but proceeded to subscribe to the sequel of DLS(TSD) as if she/he’s not guilty at all.
That comment hurt me like a , because that just shows how underappreciated I am (or how that user really is. I mean, cmon, really? What the , man?!)
One tip: before you decide to be rude to a writer, can you please at least have a good comment etiquette or something? At least tell me something that you think regarding the fic I wrote rather than being a little .
And oh, yeah, obviously I would still be writing the sequel.
In fact, I already wrote like ¼ of it which was the introduction. I have not yet done my research on the section.
If you are reading up until here, then you are very appreciated.
I am sorry for being a in this blogpost, but there are just some things that I wanted my readers to know (especially that rude person).
If you have any difficulty in commenting, then please google it or something. There is actually a guide to comment etiquette, you know?
Thank you so much for reading this blogpost.
Hope y’all had a good day.
Cheers! x
