updates [06/02]
〈 NOX ﹔ the prophecy 〉 blockberry creative's first boy group。06/02/18 — I don't want to run into any plagiarism issues with this story, so I here is a question for everyone who applied: in case your character is chosen, do I get the permission to include the MV section of your app in your reveal chapter? I might do small edits with the language/formatting (leaving out interpretations, keep the format similar to the other chosen apps) but I won't touch the actual content.
05/26/18 — for those with extensions to the 26th: submit them today! since i never specified the time zone, i'll accept everything up to UTC−12:00; apps submitted later than that won't be taken into consideration.
05/14/18 — It's now or never! these are the last six days of applying. for anyone who needs an extension, please tell me as soon as possible. also, for those whose characters are pending, you'll have one week to fix the errors starting from the day I post your review.
05/01/18 — So, this update is not that important for the application process but it's some additional information about the story.
I'm sure some of you have wondered how I'm going to connect the MVs of the debuted group to the predebut solo MVs. Some of the videos start in one world but end up in another, while the character experience significant changes in their lives. Therefore I can't really continue with the debut MV at the point the solo videos ended without either a) rushing the plot and cramming everything that happens in the solo MV into the pre-debut period and first promotion cycle or b) have the future-predicting MVs much ahead of the actual story plot.
To avoid those scenarios, I came up with the idea to tie the debut MV as nine and the first few comebacks into one story arc, like BTS's HYYH or Love Yourself, or Gfriend's school triology. That arc won't start at the end of the solo MVs, but instead finish at it. So the first few MVs as a group basically play in the same time line (or maybe even before the time line) of the solo MVs, they are just adding detail and more events to them. I'm not sure how many MVs this arc would include, it depends on the final characters and my pacing of the story.
For the 'reality'/actual world of the boygroup members, this means that the plot of their solo MVs (plus the details I'll add into the group MVs) actually play out during these comeback cycles - with the beginning of the second arc, other topics/issues arise which I'm going to come up with myself. What are your thoughts on this idea?
Honestly, I feel like this story becomes more intricate day by day and while I feel like I'm possibly scaring away new readers with this flood of details/information, plotting this is really fun ^^
On another note, I decided to change the name of the CEO - unlike JYP or YG, BBC's CEO is not really a public figure and I wasn't sure whether it was appropriate to use his name for this fic. So Kang Jaeeun -> Kwon Jibok.
04/30/18 — I decided to change the layout because I wasn't happy with the old one anymore. I think this here is fits the divine/otherworldly aesthetics of the story better and is - for the most part - easier on the eyes.
04/28/18 — I've decided to create this update chapter because the applications have been open for almost a month, but the number of applicants is still 6, two less than the number of chosen members planned for this story.
So I just want to mention that this fic has a plot. There's a reason the MVs can predict the future and I've got plenty ideas about where I want to go with this. This story is something i really look forward to write, therefore I'm a bit bummed about the lack of applicants.
I decided that I'll start this story even in case won't receive eight applications - all the characters submitted so far are good and as said above, this is an idea I really want to write out. I also prefer the one application per applicant rule so if no one new jumps on board, I'll just do it with these six/seven characters I got. Since I don't want to lose much more time, I set the deadline for the 20th of May.
