Description

To Sungjong, the world is blind.  Blind is a word that holds many meanings.  To be blind is to be visionless.  To be blind is to be uncontrolled.  To be blind is to be hidden and to be aimless.  To blind is to cover, to hide, to shock, to cheat and to trap.  Blind is a word that holds many meanings.  And to Sungjong, the world is all of them, but something Sungjong doesn't realize is that perhaps, he's the one who's blind.

An author's message:

-I really try to stress on realism, and I realize a lot of this is...you know...hard to believe.  That said, on the topic of relationships/romance, things will progress at a more believable pace, so it won't be BAM I love you, you love me.

-The story will span from age 15 to 21.

-The story will have 10 parts, each part being 5-20 chapters.  

-I am not an expert on weaponry, medicine (ha, certainly hope not), etc so if I get a fact wrong, please tell me.

Time for the beta's note! 

Hey, tillynilly here. I don't really do much as beta except listen to lex's ramblings and offering/organizing suggestions/solutions here and there. Sometimes I'll look over the drafts for ninja!typos or awkward sentences, but for the most part your awesome author knows what she's doing. It's a really great story she's weaving here, so give it a shot and you won't be disappointed!

Sungjong was naive; his little snowglobe life shattered, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Chapter 4: Been a while but coming back to this and reading the second chapter... I'm torn between enjoying watching all these characters grow up and that eerie, foreboding tone sitting on top of everything they do. I love how you've incorporated the the internet, and how it sort of gives me mid to early 2000s vibes with AOL and AIM messaging and following people on myspace; I love how its shown to drive such a positive force in Sungjong's life and that line of "Sungjong built himself a family three-thousand miles away" because it's so incredibly true of children who grew up/grow up in an age of the internet.

Again those italics don't entirely fit. "Sulli was the first to die" jesus! I'm so interested to find out what this all means, where those lines are coming from. Are they thoughts? premonitions from an omniscient narrator?

But that last part. In simple words...wtf. "None of what is real?" indeed. I'm intrigued.

Chapter 2: I might be getting in over my head as this story hasn't been updated in years, but this introduction is so good! I love how it begins, how even Sungjong's birth gives this sort of feeling of eeriness. This sort of chronology of their lives is an interesting take and, though it feels as if the story is taking place in our present day, this story feels almost a bit apocalyptic...sort of dystopian. It's only the first chapter, and Sungjong and his friends are still only kids, and yet that heavy atmosphere is suffocating, lingering. But it doesn't feel overwrought. Yes, the death of Soju is devastating (especially to a child who feels responsible for the death) but there is an undercurrent of something more sinister.

The italicized text, the narrative that those bring, feels disjointed from the rest of the chapter, and it gives a feeling of unease. Those don't really belong in a chapter talking about a child and the death of his dog. I'll be interested to see if, as I read, if there is more meaning behind them.
