not sure if i can objectively give you feedback because i love you???!!

porn is a+, characterization is a+, writing style is a+. i particularly love your member-centric fics as they have a lot of depth - the kris-centric one stayed with me long after reading. i honestly have no criticism.

[halcyondusk]

;____; thank you mysterious stranger

ahhhhhh not a+ never a+ but it makes me happy someone thinks that way :') i wrote the member-centric ones when i had a lot of unresolved questions and feelings about their background so i'm glad they still made sense /o/

[halcyondusk]

i think you're good but you could be better. keep writing and it should come naturally.

[halcyondusk]

i could always be better--i stick by the principle that once you're satisfied, you stop improving. do you have any specific examples or points that i could improve on, or is it just a matter of time/practise?

[halcyondusk]

i love love your fics, i'm so sorry i have nothing helpful to say hahaha. i don't necessarily agree w/ your characterization most of the time (it has nothing to do with how you characterize them lol, it just clashes w/ my head canon) but the way you write them is convincing. and this is sorta ot but i appreciate the time and effort you took for that tiki-toki timeline of yixing.

[halcyondusk]

;u; thank you! characterisation can be a tricky thing and i don't want to come off as overbearing or ~i am always right~ because after all we'll never know, but i can see how clashing headcanon makes it difficult to connect with them :3 haha sobs that yixing timeline ;o; i set it aside after school got busy but i should get it back up to date n__n

you're one of my fave krislay writers ;_; compliment me and marilyn monroe are so hot, i re-read them when i'm ~in the mood. the krislay one shot, though short, is something i always come back to when i'm asked about my favorite krislay fics. i don't care how short it is, it's beautiful and has always stayed with me in its heart breaking angst.

oh yes, and your baekyeol offer and acceptance, fuuuu who knew a hand job could be that hot?

i really adore your fiction, the only critic i can think of is that i don't find your longer fic as memorable? i'm not sure why, i think the writing moves a lot slower (maybe because you're trying to make it longer?) and i don't find it as poignant as some of your shorter ones. i hope you will continue writing long fics though because i do love your writing so much and i hope to see a 2-parter+ from you one day that i can come back to as often as i do the one shots. ♥

[halcyondusk]

oh well thank you ;_____; haha i really like them both so that might be why i'm kind of skewed towards them :')

i see i see! i understand, long pieces move slowly--i guess i wasn't purposely trying to make it longer, but i felt like i had to flesh out more of the small emotional changes or small events so that the settings seem full bodied and i'm not glossing over things and so it dragged. i'll keep that in mind!

YOU KILLED ME WITH PERNICIOUS

YOU ARE PERF

i've never read your other fics other than that fic on ^
but what i want to really say is
you can write more angst really
more kaisoo angst ;;

[halcyondusk]

;uuu; sobs thank you
i will keep that in mind!

[halcyondusk]

The first thing I think when I think about your writing is 'character'

You really are so good with character. The relationships and emotions you flesh out through each of your fics always feel poignant and real, which is probably the first thing I look for in the things I read. And I just want to specifically point out that Kris centric fic you wrote: what made that story so successful in my eye is that even though its basically a fictional look a Kris's predebut past, I was completely 100% sold with your portrayal of it...to the point where I honestly believed it to be true. Honestly, to successfully spell out a character, especially in one-shot length, is hard, but you have such a seamless way of writing it..just amazing really (and i love it).
