Rant

Annyeong everyone,

 

As you know I don't usually blog, but today I just have to do a little ranting to get a few things out of my system. And the reason why I'm doing it on AFF because it is related to AFF. In the past I have received personal messages criticizing my stories and lack of updates; which is fine by me because everyone is entitled to their own opinion. So I usually just let it fly over my head. But I think it's time that I make certain things clear so that I don't get anymore stupid (yes, I categorize them as stupid) messages.

 

  1. I am NOT a professional writer - which means my stories are bound to have grammar/spelling/punctuation/inaccuracy mistakes. This is because I don't have a freaking designated Editor to edit my work nor do I have proof-reader.
  2. There's ALWAYS a reason for why my stories turn up the way they do. It's called a plot. And it takes time to think up of a good one that MAKES SENSE. And I put in A LOT of effort to do background research before I write but still it's not like I'm related to any of the characters. There's bound to be some made up stuff. It's called a fiction. So don't get your all up in a bunch just because you don't agree to the plot.
  3. I am NOT, I repeat, NOT a an a/ writer - so please don't tell message me and harass me to write a ier/dirtier plot for my characters. I will write it as I see fit. Point in case, if you notice the way I write scenes for 'Better Together' and 'Second Chances' are different. You want to read the nasty stuff, go find an a site.
  4. And still on the subject of writing , I'm sorry but I do have some principles in regards to this. I don't do freaky/ stuff and I definitely don't write for underage characters. So please don't send me requests for ty stories involving members of Boyfriend, BAP etc. I don't do children. Period.
  5. Updates - contrary to what some people think, I do have a full-time job. And being a somewhat workaholic, I tend to work long hours. Therefore updates are sparodic at best. That's why you'll see that sometimes I update my chapters at odd hours e.g. at 3 a.m because I do sacrifice my sleep once in a while when inspiration strikes. So please try to understand. I do want to update regularly but there are other things like physical needs (i.e. sleeping, eating etc) that must be fulfilled.
  6. Lastly, I am not doing this for the number of subscribers/views or votes. I write because it's something I enjoy. If my readers like my stories enough to comment diligently and vote them up, great. I'm very grateful for your kindness and support. And if they're enjoying it silently, that's fine too. So don't tell me that the reason why I don't have a high number of subscribers and/or votes is because I don't update often enough, the s are not dirty enough, the characters are boring..yada yada yada. (at this point please insert the chant from GD's 'I Am Mugler' - it really describes how I feel about this)

 

Well, that's all I gotta say for now. For those of you who have been supporting and encouraging me through your constant comments - I thank you. Really. I cannot explain how grateful I am to you for taking the time off to share with me your thoughts on the stories. I may not respond to you but believe me I look forward to your comments just as eagerly as you do to my updates.

 

For the silent readers, thank you for reading and subscribing. I'm not pressuring you to leave comments for me. But if you do, that'll be great too :)

 

And for those who like to pick/criticize/condemn my stories,. thank you to you too. I'd just like to say that no one's forcing you to subscribe and read my stories. There's this thing called the 'unsubscribe' button. Feel free to use it whenever you like. It's no skin of my back. It' a free world.

 

I apologize for the incessant rant. I feel better now.

p/s: I'm already working on chapter 29. Should be up in a day or two :)

You are absolutely right. Part of the reason I love this site is because it gives people the freedom to read and write about their favorite kpop (or other genre) celebs in a fictional setting. It gives readers a glimpse of what their imagination might sometimes conjure through the eyes of many different authors such as yourself.

I appreciate that you and other authors alike, take the time out of your lives to entertain us readers with your creativity. So that being said, thank you for your all the hard work and the you put into your pieces. I have come to love all of your stories and get excited to see an update, no matter how sporadic they may be. I get it, you have a life too! :-) Keep up the good work!

I admit there are times I want to stop reading your stories because somehow they make me uncomfortable because your stories gets in my head. But your story is great so it'll just take some time for me to go reading back. To those who are annoying you because you don't update much, don't mind them. They should be able to settle from what you can give. =) and for the scenes, I can see why they're asking you so much, that's because you're really really good at it.
and for the wrong grammars, it's totally justifiable to make mistakes since it's not your mother language.. Hope you feel better..=)

Wow, I can totally relate to this. There are really a lot of stupid people out there who do not understand, less acknowledge others' hard work, which is irritating and sad. I think it is good that you deal with them in that way. And although you know this but you are getting so many annoying messages simply because your writings are good. So just ignore those messages and keep doing your thing. Your fans are fully behind you. Plus, as someone who also writes, I know how much work it is to produce stories like yours. So I proudly say: You are awesome and my favourite author. 화이팅♥
