FYI for subbers

Just a small announcement that I will be working to finish most, if not all, of my stories on AFF. There are several reasons behind this, ranging from lack of interest to lack of time and health, lack of confidence to lack of vision. When I started most of these stories, I was a new Shawol and was naive about many things. I mostly wanted something to write, no matter what form. But since my understanding of them as people have changed, along with my own interests, I don't get the same kind of pleasure out of writing these things. In fact, it's become quite burdensome. The things I believed/felt a year ago don't necessarily hold up to how I see things in the present, which makes it hard to continue in that mindset for certain stories. I don't know if I'll be inspired to write anything else (we'll see if the comeback sparks some new plots...), but I definitely can't feel the freedom to move on until I finish what I started last March (my AFF anniversary!). I really don't want to write anything using SHINee in "this universe" for awhile which is why, for all the above reaons, the stories I want to end soon are: 

 

  • Strange Feelings (almost concluded... anything you hope to see in this fic before it's over?)
  • Harem of Hell (I know most of you are confused so don't hesitate to list the things you need clarified before it's too late! Also, any last requests - included)
  • Follow the Leader (will end the way it started, so we have Jongyu and OnKey left)
  • Land Mines & Battle Fields (will end in Dec '12. For the events to cover up to then, please see the forward)

 

I imagine I can finish most of them within 2-5 chapters. As for the other fics not listed here, I don't know how long they'll run but I probably won't work on them until I complete these. So, this the opportunity for you to voice whatever you'd like about any of them -- things you want to see, things you need explaining or addressed, etc. I will try my best to work it in if I can, including OTPs and , without sacrificing the general conculsion I have sketched out for each story. I just wanted to offer this outlet since so many of you have been following me for nearly a year and I want everyone to be satisfied as much as possible. After all, you've invested a lot of time in me; I want to also invest my time as a way to say thank you.

 

Thanks for reading, and please list all your demands below~! Just be specific which story you're referring to so I don't get confused. XD

UM <3

 

IDK why, but this seemed kind of like a sad blog, so I'll leave shiny SHINee here to serenade you~ ^_^

(just pretend Taem's into it)

I just discovered your stories this past week, and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed them. You had my laughing, crying, and everything in between! But mostly, you have left awed at your creative writing, emotional drama, hilarious fluff and (of course) y . Thank you SO much for writing these fics, they are beautiful and awesome creations!

I (selfishly) only have two wishes. First, as you end these stories please give them a happy ending. In the end, I just want SHINee to be happy (even if it is a fantastical universe). And second, I hope that anything in your personal life be it health, time, confidence or inspiration be resolved. I don't mind if you don't continue to write SHINee fics, but continue creating - what you have done so far has been magical and it would be a shame if such talent wasn't used :)

Truly, best wishes in all your current and future endeavors,
~elvesrule

PS - this is just my two cents, but you have no reason to lack in confidence. (If i have not made it abundantly clear yet) You have been brilliant!

It's sad that so many things are going on around you but I can't totally relate to the feelings changing regarding shinee as people (everything that happened last year seemed to be in the direction of definite change)I just wanted to say thank you because you're writing truly inspired me to bite the bullet and get back into things again, I know I'll never be able to write as immaculately as you do but I really hope you don't give up writing altogether as you have real talent and it would be a loss to see you go (maybe the comeback will rekindle something hmm?) The only thing I can say i want to see is that you wrap everything up the way you want to just so you can finish it on your own terms

I have been a quiet reader of yours since I discovered aff and I really admire you as a writer. I'm much too lazy to write my own fanfiction, but just reading yours gives me this sudden drive that makes me want to write the way that I used to when I was still in highschool (though I never pull through with it). Your stories have always kept me interested ( not only for the really good !!) I always felt like this is what could ACTUALLY be happening in their lives. I just want to say thank you for giving us all some really amazing stories and letting us know that being a _____ fangirl isn't just for teenagers. I'm not going to say that I'm disappointed, but more so saddened by your reasons for wrapping things up. I really hope that you can overcome your health issues because you're far too young to be experiencing these complications, and lastly I really hope that something sparks your writing interests again because I'm really going to miss your stories.

Ahead of time
Until you come back well and inspired <3

Omo...
I remember our talk about Strange Feelings. It's forever going to be my favorite fan fiction.

Though I have to ask, just because it worries me...
You aren't leaving...are you? It would break my heart if you did. Granted, I know I follow you on tumblr and all, but it just would hurt to see my reason for starting on this site leave, you know?

Either way, in the mood of the blog, I guess it's only appropriate for me to say thank you. You're the reason why my writing has progressed the way it has, and why I started pursuing not only fan fiction, but novels as well. I really hope you're not going anywhere, but if you are, keep in touch, okay? I would love for you to be around to see me grow some more.

Thank you, Noona.

In LM And BF: TBAM I just want to see your concluding view of Jongkey's relationship, How Onew decides to deal with his feelings with Key and what he does with them and what Minho and Taemin decide to do with their relationship whether they move forward, keep it as it is, distance themselves or whatever. I know you'll continue with the eye-catching events between the members last year, but I would want to see what they decide to do with their relationships in the present and future.

Uh, Harem of Hell...I just hope it doesn't end the way it's seeming to go. I really don't want the members relationships to go down hill the way it is seeming to. But I am excited to see the ending you have planned.

Since I am a recently new Shawol...I think I can understand what you mean by your changed view of the members. When I first became a fan, I started learning everything about them from their debut days. I didn't intentionally plan to do that, it just happened that way. So, at first I saw them as innocent, charming, flower boys. After a few months of learning about them, I began to watch their present events and how they act now. It's really different from the way I first saw them. And it really scared me because I felt like the were growing up too fast but it was me who had catching up to do. The are really mature now and the way I saw their character from the beginning is really different from the way I view them now. Its not that their personalities so much changed, I guess I see them viewing life a different way from before...lol this is getting kind of long and it's a bit weird trying to explain so I'll stop it here.

Please don't stress yourself over finishing the fanfics unnie and take your time. :)

It's somehow sad... ._.
The wonderful thing about your fics is that you write about SHINee being SHINee. Even in Red Light District, they're escorts, but it's still them - embedded in an allegory of the world they live in. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I absolutely love that about your stories (...also the , I'm no hypocryte. :p). It's so rare to find authors who analyze what they do, try to undestand what they think and love them for what they are. And you definitely do. It shows in your writing. Land Mines & Battle Fields shows that you must have thought something along the lines of "Wait a minute, look at how they're changing! What's happening?". And Harem of Hell may be confusing, but I'm looking forward to seeing how their relationship will change after all that's happened, what they'll realize and how they will cope with all of this. Follow the Leader is about Onew. To me he's always been the awkward one, the dubu-voice with a peculiar sense of humor, but you made me look at him in a different light. Strange Feelings is my favorite fanfiction ever. The amount of feels I get every time I re-read it is crazy!
I'm sorry for the ramble. >_<; I really hope someday you'll enjoy writing about SHINee again. I'll be waiting here. :)

I'm looking forward to how you finish this and especially am drooling in anticipation over the thought of JongYu and OnKey. MY FEELS WILL EXPLODE. The only thing I can think of is with Strange Feelings that there is a happy ending and they have a chance to talk about everything, making Minho seem less like a jerk...I'm sure you'll be getting inspiration again soon once all those are finished ^^

I feel the exact same way <3 I mean, I'm still writing because even though it's only fanfiction, I can still improve and get better for when I do actually publish a few books. But I've lost the interest in writing anything serious these days, like a chaptered fic. Which is why I really want to finish up my on-going fics but I take so long to update, it's torture! :/

Red Light Disctrict-I would really like it if you could finish that T_T

Well...I just want Onew to do the best in all the fics haha xD

DancingDreams #11
*sobs* I know how you feel- I have a long list of SHINee fanfics that i never actually pisted cuz I couldn't get into them- and I knew if I wasn't interested in finishing them no one would be interested in reading them.
I hope you find something that inspires your awesome creative mind ^_-

I love you and I so understand you about feelings changing. Here, your fav MVP has your back and sends you lots of love
Feiruru #14
Yea, this sounds like a sad blog. x(((

But why are you ending those stories? You have many subbers for each story. :@
tofuflame #15
I know the feeling. It was only a few months ago when I started writing Legalities and Complications, but even now my views on how things should be written and what OTPs I ship and what should be expressed through writing with the rest being kept in my head.
