So I read something by one of my readers today on their page that made me pause and think. 

Many years ago when I first started writing on this site, someone asked me why it was that I only made one shots of my celebrities. Didn't I know that all my stories with male OCs wouldn't be as popular and that stories where there was a female OC and a kpop/cpop/jpop star as my love interest would get more readers? Couldn't I see that my oneshot thing was the most popular 'book' on my page? 

The truth is of course I noticed. Of course I knew but the truth is writing a story about a person who exists is really hard and it's a lot of responsibility.

One of my readers wrote that it was hard to be on this site because she was hit with the reality that these men were human and that it was hard to seperate the fiction from the person which made them sometimes lose their humanity in her eyes. That... that's the hardest thing about writing about a star. You have to write them almost as if you're writing a biography. You have to write their characteristics because if you don't everyone will call you out. This isn't someone in your mind but instead it's a person that others know and love. There is no freedom for your interpretation of said person.  There isn't hundreds of translations or changes or fixes. Seeing those things are easy feats but the biggest feat is that you CAN'T forget that they're human. They are people with strengths and weaknesses. They are people who love and hurt and it's such a huge responsibility to write about their story even if it's in a way in which they have a happy ever after. You are writing their story and you owe it to them to write it well.To write it accurate. To write it full.

Some people have the ability and strength and talent to write a full story in which these people are and exist to be but I honestly don't.That's one of the reasons why when I see a person who can write a good story about a celebrity I praise them. Please, the next time you read a story and see that the writer has added certain characteristics and quirks that are that star's praise them for it. They studied that star and saw them for who they were and that is something that's hard. Sometimes harder than writing a character from the air. When you see someone who writes about a star and they write about someone that doesn't feel like the celebrity you see on screen don't hate them. Instead just view them as a artist who still has not learned their craft but in all this learn about who it is that they are writing about. Something in that person called out to the writer. Sometimes learning about that star will help you to learn about who is writing. In the same way that meeting a friend's parent can make you learn more about your friend, seeing the inspiration can help you learn more about a writer

Sorry guys that's just some late night musing. Have an awesome night
