It's Complicated [INDEFINITE HIATUS]

Readers have been reaching out to me in PM about the 'heteronormativity' in the story, so I figured I have to speak out about it to justify why I chose to write the fic as such. 

 

In the mother/umma/mom case, it's more about the verbal role and not the gender; and it's also a form of endearment. Bc mother also means the one who has the ability to give birth, the address towards the 'mothers' will stay that way. In the story, if they say "he's your mother", it translates to "he gave birth to you". I already changed the /wife/ words in accordance to this and changed them into /husband/. 

+++Add the fact that it could also be a choice in the story. Wonwoo isn't complaining on being called 'Umma' and neither is Jeonghan on being called 'mom'. 

I did not intend to make anyone uncomfortable with the 'heteronormativity' as I am a part of lgbtq+ , I got many guy friends who love being called Mommy/Nanay, and firsthand asking us to do so as well, so I didn't really worry much about it. There are also other 'big-time' fics who does it so I didn't think it through. You may think I am shoving on my readers' faces that there should only be one 'father' in the story, but I did not intend to do so as I may have been doing it unconsciously due to the fact that the friends I have consulted said that it was okay if Wonwoo and Jeonghan wan

Chapter 30: Tbh, I am just a silent reader. But I have to admit this is one of the best stories I have read so far, I rarely read fanfics opposite of my girlfriend (I am also a girl btw) but when I do find something I like, I will read them multiple times even if it's not yet complete. I have probably read this fic more than 10 times already. As a silent reader, I have wished that there will be a way for you to finish this story because I always look forward to the next update but again if you are unable to really finish this given that you have already provided the plot, we definitely understand author-nim. You have given us a really wonderful story and I will still read this again some time, for the nth already hahaha. Fighting!!!

Chapter 30: This story was absolutly beautiful, i dont regret reading this at all. I really appreciated how it was so down to earth through out most of the story which you dont get quite often in fanfics like these which are typically just or fluff with no actual conflict. Also i hope things clear up for you. I may not know you personally or at all but i do know that sometimes life throws stuff at us that makes us question everything and thats not our faults even it may seem that way. I really hope you can overcome whatever happend and continue with your writing, because you are truly an amazing writer.

Chapter 30: One if the best stories ever written, aside from this being in an alternate world (coz guys can get pregnant) issues are all reality (which is what Im looking for in a fanfic) i love how you kept it real that nothing is perfect. I know what you are feeling and I just want to say that you can always take your time. We’ll be right here waiting for you and your updates :)
