I'll link it anyway.

first of all: i hate the title. well, it's not like i hate it, it's more like it's not as nice as h-bw/c-dp or sc, and it's just… i don't know. i'm having the same problems with some of the titles for sc's one-shots. oddly enough, i like some of the chapters' titles, especially the last one's. 'butterfly effect' is my favorite. i would've put it as main title instead, but when it ocurred to me, we were already on chapter 4.

and talking about chapters, this reminds me that i wanted to discuss the lenght of this fic. i actually felt (feel) like i was scamming my first subscribers, because pl was meant to be a one-shot. in fact, every section was meant to contain no more than 250 words, skipping fast and forward. but then, as 'woohyun grew older' the sections kept extending until we reached the desk scene and it sort of got out of hand. i was worried when i reached the 5k words, but then i just gave up when i crossed the 10k mark.

also, the pacing is something i'm not completely satisfied with. i wrote the two stories separately, with an outline of events that sort of complemented each other (like sungong's 1st, 2nd, 3rd meeting with woohyun, or myungsoo's random appeareance) and later i interlaced them on a big, lenghty word document. the main problems with that (and maybe the story as a whole) is that the events weren't ~exactly~ parallel, since in young woohyun's universe there are twelve years, while in adult woohyun's universe there are only two years of story so the time skips are longer in one story than in the other. also, when i was dividing the story to put it into chapters, i focused more on the lenght than in the time passed (and at the end it didn't quite work––lmao i've read that before, where could it have been?) but the time ocurred was, as i said, off.

the end didn't convince me that much, either. it felt too much of a deus ex machina (i'm not sure of using that term correctly but whatevs) with sungjong helping woohyun thanks to dongwoo, and at the end, everything is like a bad dream and woohyun wakes up. ugh, i remember finshing my stories like that when i was in what, elementary school? but i couldn't come up with a plot twist, and i couldn't bring myself to make a sad ending. my otp is too precious to do that.

now that i mention sungjong, it reminds me of talking about the characters. i'm surprised that, seeing as how some of my readers (yes, using possesive my) almost guessed the complete story, nobody noticed how hollow does sungjong is in reality. he's not helping woohyun, and he's not helping sunggyu. he does help woohyun to forget because that's convenient for his purposes, and helps him go back because his bosses say so. at the end of the day, he's just helping himself. eunji and myungsoo are also kind of flat, and there are only brief mentions of but those are the downsides of writing in woohyun's perspective; as well as describing sunggyu to the point it looks idolized (pun [or maybe not really] not intended).

lastly, the response i got was, once again, overwhelming. even some of the authors i stalk love from this site, and who've written some of my favorite fics, subscribed and or left a comment. i felt so warm ;~;

well, i this is it :D
