i was so happy as i read about your writing journey omg *____* i swear it's not as weird as it sounds.
it's so awesome that you bounced back and wrote so much, and worked so hard to go beyond what you were comfortable with, pairing-wise, structure-wise, and so on. I enjoyed the protection squad fic so much you don't even knowwwwww
Thank you and Rai <333
I think it's particularly interesting that most writers never feel satisfied with their own work, and you shouldn't worry about that! Almost everyone else feels that way imo, and I recall reading somewhere that it's even expected, because writing's so undefined that we writers never find the perfect answer through our stories? And that helps us grow.
I think you're a writer who has great talent in drawing in an audience and in bringing out the nuances of a character. I'm excited to see what you'll write next <3
Thank you so much for taking the time to read through this and comment on it gosh. And your encouragement means a lot, thank you, especially your observation about writers and growth ;;
One thing I became quite fixated on is, what can I improve this time through my writing? And reframing sort of kept me going. But it was hard to get to that reframing of "just keep trying, if you don't write you can't improve."
Ahahaha oh dear the protection squad XD I'm happy you liked it so much! It really was nonsense typing but I guess that's what happens when you don't worry so much about what you're turning out and just write for the fun of it.
Thanks again for your lovely comment and encouragement! Hopefully there'll be more this year :D
And I've told you this before, but your sad!Hakyeon fic and the VIXX going camping are my favorites from you this year. The first one made me appreciate Hakyeon (He's the first VIXX member I can identify. You better be proud of yourself), while the camping trip one made me see the potential of dumb they can get into (that's the best way to lure me in really, excellent choreography and the members being dumb in variety shows).
Gen fic ficathon you and Ellie say? I might be inclined to join in...
Wow. That's all I can say when I see your word count o_o I remember reading steel heart AU way back, but I think we first messaged each other after four green bottles then eventually progressed to following each other on Twitter :)) I honestly enjoyed your fics and they just kept adding to my Hakyeon feels--
I'm glad that you kept writing in spite of the things that have happened, and it's just been so exciting anticipating what you've written next and seeing your writing develop. (Am I still making sense? ;;)
I've lost the rest of my coherence, so I'm just going to end this by saying that you're a great writer whose work I've had the pleasure of reading~ (Also, thank you for the friendship and the continued rainfall of Hakyeon feels.)
I said wow when I saw my word count too haha I definitely was not planning on writing so many fics this year. I'm really glad to have you following my writing journey even though I keep hitting slumps, and to still enjoy the fics I turn out! Thank you <3 And of course, let's keep the friendship and the Hakyeon feels :D
What would be writing without hardships? I think it's what make us a writer in the first place, always trying to improve, to be better, to just write a fic that will be better than the last.
Sadly, it cause lots of distress and even writing slumps, but I'm happy that you managed to find your way out.
You're an amazing writer, in my opinion, and I just love how your writing is simple but yet poignant? I hope that you can never forget that, even as you doubt yourself.
Improving means constant effort and it doesn't always show but it always pays off, sooner or later so just continue to do what you think is right, it's bound to be right at some point.
Thank you for all the lovely fics and well, I'm happy we got to meet last year!
Thanks for your very thoughtful and encouraging comment, Celine ♥ I'm going to carry parts of this with me when I write my next fic (and when I starting doubting, I will pull this out and remember someone liked my writing).
I'm really glad we met too, and hit it off beyond casual acquaintances on tlist <3 Here's to the year ahead :)

I hear they're running a ficathon this year, not sure if you know anything about that?

Also I am very happy you enjoyed those even without knowing who VIXX were when we started out hee! Plus, have some more of VIXX being dumb.
COME :D We're still working out the details but it's in the works!
