Jonghyun...

Hey guys.

I haven’t talked openly about Jonghyun and how his death has affected me, and I’m not ready to go into detail, but Jonghyun inspired me so much. Most of my writing has been inspired by him, even the fanfics about my other OTPs.

I still have a few JongKey fanfics on hiatus, and even more that are currently just ideas in my notebook that have waited years to be written. I love every story idea that I have. I am passionate about what I write so I don’t want to just scrap those stories, however I don’t know if I’m ready to write about Jjongie again - let alone if anyone is ready to read about him.

I just keep thinking, is it disrespectful to continue writing these fanfictions about him? Or is it more disrespectful to not let him to inspire our creativity? What would he want us to do?

I don’t know.

What I do know is that I will write the stories for those notes in my notebooks, even if they are with different OTPs. The JongKey stories that are on hiatus...I may remove them, I may just not continue them, I may re-write them with different characters.

If you have any thoughts or advice, please let me know because I haven’t got a clue what I want to do or what I should do.

Much love to you all.

if im honest I was in a predicament like this a few weeks ago, and as someone who loves your stories, there are (in my opinion) you could do this:

1: post a poll on your stories to see what your readers think. (that poll also becomes visible on you profile page so visitors can view and vote too.)
2: take some time away from here and reflect and understand how Jonghyun inspired you. (this will help you to realise if you- personally- find it disrespectful or a way to remember him for who he was)
3: Write them anyway and see what people think then. (I don't advocate picking this one)

those were some of the ways I had suggested to me when I really didn't know what to do.
I hope they were useful.
