Hello, Mooncorgi here.

I won't write a huge excerpt on how I feel on what happened lately, to refrain being emotional again (I already wrote an open letter elsewhere) and we can all assume what many of us shawols are going through. I am going to convey the message and purpose of why I'm writing this.

As a fan deep within the fandom, it's always fulfilling to contribute something to the community. There are a few who post news and some take into art forms like producing beautiful fan art modelled after their inspirations, and some of us here have taken a home in this place to write fanfics. And those who do write fanfics, are not always usually writing for the form of the delusion. We write cause we want to, we love to, and/or desire to write better. Taking the people we love most to become the main characters of our stories is much easier but also just a temporary fantasy we can enjoy. What if Minho was a police officer in real life or what if Jonghyun was an eleven prince, etc; How interesting would that be?

I am not here often but I'm always writing in notepads and document apps with the simplest of prompts and inspirations I find in the world, and all around me. Since my guilty pleasure of shipping is still strong, my desired pairings in fanfics are either Minho/Jonghyun or Onew/Jonghyun.

But of course, I see many writers have stopped writing in respect of our angel, Jonghyun. I can understand, really, why they want to stop or have stopped. There are a few who do write in the topic of angst/depression/suicide/character death, which is NOT wrong of them to do. It's a topic/genre after all. 

Maybe it's just me who selfishly wants to keep writing in the name of Jonghyun. It's not because I disrespect or dislike him. He's truly my ultimate bias and always will be. I just don't want to forget him and after all, we keep chanting on that SHINee will always be five no matter what. Jonghyun is not a former member, he has never announced he left. Even... in the place where he... was gone, the address was reportedly to be 525. And the moon in Japan was the colour of our ocean. SHINee IS a big part of Jonghyun, and Jonghyun will always be a part of SHINee. 

That's why I want to really continue writing. I admit, it may be a part of me wanting to fulfill my dreamt fantasies and pen them down. THAT, I will sheepishly admit to. But I also don't want to forget him. 

I'd like to hear the opinions of other SHINee fanfic writers and as well as the readers, on the topic of whether or not we should continue writing about Jonghyun. And if any of you are interested in seeing my fanfics in the near future who may be interested in Jonghyun pairings, please let me know in the comments, or even in the PM. I'm also thinking of making a private subscription of sorts.
