It's been a long time, hasn't it? Like a very long time.

Well.

I was going through one of my fic collections here and checked some of the stuff that recently got some new comments and subscribers and I think I want to add some stories and some updates here. I don't even know if anyone still reads the stories on here or anything like that. It might just because I think any and everyone I used to connect with/to on here has gone someplace else or something like that...

But, just if anyone is interested, I think I'm going to work on updating and posting for the TaoBer stories that I used to post. I actually have quite a lot of pieces that I've written over the years and just never posted. I wanted to put together one big collection and really bring the story together and I think I may really work on that, even if I have to force myself. I need to bring back some creative structure in my life. Dedicate some time to writing and all again.

If you're interested in the TaoBer stories that I am referring to, I'll list them below.

Another series that I went back over and would like to start working on again is the Call Me Daddy Collection. I was reading over that and on some of the comments that were on it and I think I'd like to start writing it again.

Coming back through some of my fics, I realize that there's a lot of stories that I don't even remember writing but reading over some of them at least has brought back some memories and feelings and thoughts. A mix of everything but I miss writing and the mess that comes along with it. I miss writing stories and having people tell me that they enjoy them. I like sharing the stories my imagination creates and just having people like...get a peek into my imagination if that makes sense. It's fun.

I also have a HoneyPup/JooHyuk (Minhyuk x Jooheon OTP from Monsta X) fic that I've written and haven't posted yet. I actually would like to post that one. I also have a Jungkook x reader one that I worked on and haven't done anything with. I just went through a phase of questioning if my work was still good or not. I think that's just like a writer's thing though. It happens, from what I know.

I'M JUST GOING TO INSERT THIS WARNING HERE. THERE IS A SLIGHT RANT IF THAT'S EVEN WHAT IT'S CALLED ABOUT SHINEE'S JONGHYUN UNDER THIS. IT'S NOTHING SERIOUS AND I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO ANY DETAIL ABOUT ANYTHING. JUST SOME BRIEF THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS MAINLY RELATED TO MY WRITINGS ABOUT HIM. THANK YOU.

Also... I'm so torn... Because one of the pairings I've always enjoyed writing is SHINee's Jonghyun and Minho... Well, among other SHINee pairings, clearly, BUT still. I enjoyed writing the Tom and Jerry kind of things between them. Their banter was always adorable. I'm just a little uneasy about writing about anything Jonghyun-related because I know that some people are still torn up about him and I've seen it for myself. If it isn't positive or like all angels and puppies and whatnot, some SHINee fans really just...kind of attack, if that makes sense. There's a fun account that I follow on twitter that does like the incorrect quotes thing but for SHINee and I've seen people come after them for including Jonghyun, like it's a bad thing to include him just because some people are still actually triggered by what happened. Don't get me wrong. SHINee was my first K-pop/Korean group and will just forever hold a special place in my heart and it is still a bit tender thinking that Jonghyun isn't around anymore but it's just a personal thing, I guess, that I enjoy seeing people still talk and joke and write about him. Like... It just feels weird to mourn over him all the time and not smile for what wonderful things we were left with by him.

I'm just saying that I don't necessarily want to stop writing about pairings with him. If I choose to write more about him, just, please, don't read it and be about your day. I'm not here to make anyone sad or anger anyone. I'm a shawol at heart before any other group that I've come across and they're probably the only real fandom that I've ever attached myself to. Not sorry. And possibly f(x)... and Nu'EST but anyway that's not the point here. I just wanted to get that out though.

I'll put the links to the stories that I mentioned here. And I think that that's about it.

I hope that everyone has been doing well and, if we've never crossed paths and you're reading this, I just want to send some extra love your way just for reading this. It means a lot.

If you guys want to request anything or just chat, leave me a comment. Thank you!

Have a wonderful day/afternoon/evening wherever you are. And remember that, no matter where you are, who you are, you are loved. ♡
