i really liked this. i haven't read asemia or the original fic but parts of this reminded me of aronnax's "what naturally follows" although zhou mi was the one doing the revising there. favorite part:

Don't you want happiness? you ask him. I could give it to you. Let me write you another ending. The one where you grow old with Kyungsoo. The one where you get to know Chanyeol. The one where you teach Baekhyun to dance. The one where you dance with Yixing.

Don't carelessly change my life, he says. It's not up to you to make my choices for me.

this speaks to me on several levels. how we feel as fans, as readers/writers, and how so much of participation in fandom is about control, just as it is for the members themselves. what we see is completely molded by how they present themselves but once they put themselves out there it's a free-for-fall, we can see them however we like. idk this is at once terrifying and deeply moving??

very excited for reveals.

SIGHS dearest remix author i cannot even begin to tell you how much i loved this!! i've always had a fondness for the theoretical and i think the original hinted at this with the title and how the scenes with the vending machines seemed slightly removed from the rest of the story, so i am beyond happy you went with this angle and explored the concept of possibilities, what if this happened, what if that didn't happen, and so on. even better still you toyed with the idea of authorial intent and the writing process -- i have to admit some parts made me slightly uncomfortable in the way they pointed out how exactly i actually thought about writing the story, those were moments of clarity and self-awareness for me as a fic writer, and like the commenter above it made me wonder, what is the extent to which we actually engage with who we're writing about? chilling ( ... )
