A writer's worry. I am back with an announcement!

Hello!

How had everyone been? I don't know if anyone really even noticed that I was gone really. 

I have been busy with my studies and it has been quite hard for me to update my stories regularly. It made me feel like I was letting down my own stories but more importantly the readers. So for a long time I fully considered that my story that I recently finished would be my last and I would 'retire' from Asian Fanfics.

But now I have a bit of a holiday and I wrote a short oneshot yesterday from sudden inspiration (or boredom maybe). I found that I still enjoy writing these stories eventhough it is always a struggle to get what I have in my mind onto paper. But I still enjoy it. So for now I am putting off my retirement and see how it goes.

Speaking of retiring, I would not consider myself old. I am currently 23. But I feel old in the Kpop world. I feel that there are so many new groups and I can't keep up. While some of my favourite oldies are becoming less active or going to military. I don't know if any of you feel that same way. 

I mean I don't even know if these type of Blogs are still a thing that people read. Anywho. This is my ramble for now. Please let me know what you think? Are you a writer too? Are you feeling old like I am?

Also let me insert a shameless plug here casually

Keep Me Safe (Which is by far my most popular fic)

Please Stay (This is the one I recently finished)

The Truth Untold (A secret favourite - don't tell the other fics)

I sure am feeling old since I actually first joined aff in 2014 (and wrote very ty fanfics that never got past the 2nd chapter), but I forgot the username and password to that old acc. I feel even older as I remember that I was still very little when I first got exposed to Kdrama and then Kpop (my favorite song at the time was Lucifer by Shinee and the first drama I remembered watching was Full House or Boys Over Flower). I feel old and nostalgic, but I'm not even 20. Maybe it's because of how the industry has changed, and yeah, it's sad.

I feel old too, and I haven't even hit 20 yet lol.

Don't feel bad for prioritizing studies over fanfics, you will be thankful you did so in the long run.

Its been a few years since I wrote a fanfic and I've had an urge to write one for a while now, but once again, uni studies T_T

I gave up fanfics in general for a while and then I discovered AFF not too long ago and realised that no matter how long a break I take, I'll always enjoy writing fanfiction :3

Going back to the 'feeling old' part, you're still pretty young ^_^ and I think I can relate a bit to this. Maybe this feeling arises because you've had a much more mature perspective on life in general. Your fics seem to reflect that, in my opinion. In a good way, of course.

I joined the kpop fandom back in 2016 with BTS BST comeback and then discovered EXO and others and everything changed lol, so I suppose I'm still relatively new in that regard, yet seeing them enlist makes it feel like its been a while.

Nonetheless, please don't retire ;---; you write so well! It would be a loss to the aff community.

>_< sorry if this comment seems a bit all-over the place and waffle-ish, Im writing this high on caffeine and no sleep.

Keep writing! Always a pleasure reading your fics! T_T Im so sorry for not dropping any reviews though, I shall be sending in a mass review chain for all of them.

P.S nice to see a fellow SA'n here :)
