#I ACTIVELY try not to ship sterek because I don't have time in my life for another consuming obsession

[theinternetisfulloftrash]

This is one if not my favourite gif to hang naughty thoughts on. "You two ready to give them a mindblowing time?" (In which Stiles might not have been fully told it was a three person gig and not a two person one. :p)

HmmmMmMmMm....

I think I'm on board with where you're goin' in this scenario, but... I think I'd prefer Hoechlin's Derek... just sayin' ;)

What fandoms were you /are you still a part of aside from BTS? Did you actively write for any of them, and if so, which ships inspired you? How did you come across BTS and what made you stan? (Imma assume jimin? Jimin!) And on that note, what made you ship kookmin or what about them gave you inspiration to write about them?

Sorry if this seems intrusive sgdhdjf but Im genuinely just curious about your fandom and writing journey :)!

hello! this isn't intrusive at all so no worries at all!!

oh man, i started writing when i was 11? at least in terms of posting fic on the internet except back then i don't think i even considered it to be fic. it was just stories set in my fandom at the time (it was naruto...and then harry potter and emo bands. yes, it was self insert.)

currently, i only actively write for bts fandom. this will likely change once i finish reading omniscient reader's viewpoint (orv) because i am already RARING to write fic for my orv otp, joongdok, but i really want to finish the web novel before i spiral.

i find the best way to enjoy your bts fandom experience is to also have multiple other interests you're partially engaged in/with so that bts fandom doesn't drive you insane :) other interests i am invested in include but are not limited to: orv, tgcf, mdzs, svsss, jujutsu kaisen, demon slayer, a plethora of bl, the magnus archives, and i try to read published stuff but i've been slipping on that front the last few months.

i will put the rest of the answer under a cut because...this is already quite long.

in the past i've written for naruto (sasunaru), harry potter (drarry), a few other animangas, kingdom hearts (axel/roxas), and when i did start writing for kpop fandoms it went from beast to block b/bap to exo to ikon/got7 to bts.

but i've been part of like tons of other fandoms where i only read fic and engaged with other people's content. fandoms include (non-exhaustive): bandom, inception, merlin, marvel (i rly only cared abt stucky), star trek (spirk, MY BELOVED), teen wolf (sterek has everyone in their clutches), football (european) rpf, hannibal and a slew of animanga. there's definitely stuff i missed but my point is just: have lots of interests! and consume a variety of media! it makes you a better writer and person imo.

baby me was definitely obsessed with enemies to lovers (adult me still is) so i am always drawn to an otp that has the enemies/rivals to lovers dynamic because nothing satisfies me as much as tension and push/pull dynamics. i think once i got into rpf fandoms tho (bandom, kpop), i did start enjoying seeing two people that just love each other very openly.

SO ofc when i finally ended up in bts fandom, it was only a matter of time before kookmin ate me alive. i started stanning bts in march/april of 2015. i'd listened to their title tracks/watched mvs from their debut but i was an exo stan and i had tunnel vision and then exo was like, falling apart in 2014-2015 tgknfk and i got into got7 and ikon for a while but i guess they just didn't hit the same cause i started watching bts mvs one day and then binged SO many bangtan bombs and watched american hustle life and then 2 weeks?? later bts announced they were having a comeback and i've never looked back. bts are just incredibly funny and genuine (there is nothing manufactured about them) and back in 2015, no one was putting themselves out there the way bts were. they were super engaged with their fan base through youtube and twitter so even when they didn't have a comeback, they were still posting new content which is not what other groups were doing. bighit knew what they were doing, i guess.

and yes, jimin 100% drew me in. even before i was a fan, he was already my fav from the few mvs i had seen and then when i got seriously into them, i was obsessed with him. he's so fucking funny and BABY!!!!!!!!! and has just been the kindest person since day one??? and an incredible dancer, like just mesmerizing. also, he's the prettiest most gorgeous person ever. there is no joy or comfort quite like getting to stare at jimin's beautiful face.

i was actually a multi-jimin shipper when i started out. my fav ships were hopemin, minjoon, and yoonmin. rapline/jimin was everything to me and so was yoonseok!! jimin was just very baby around rapline and acted cute because he loves attention and praise and i love this about him jbsdjk i liked vmin and kookmin at the time, too, but i've always liked vmin as friends more than romantically and kookmin didn't take over my entire brain until may 2016 when back hug scene happened. up until then, i liked them because it was obvs jimin doted on jeongguk A Lot and i enjoyed what a tsundere brat jeongguk was but back hug scene rewired my brain cause all i wanted to do after that was write kookmin.

i think seeing how much they both love each other and how supportive they are/how they show up for each other over and over again (excellent song choice for gcf tokyo jjk) just makes it impossible for me to not ship them?? plus we got to see their relationship grow and develop and transform to what it is today...it's hard not to love them tbh. for me, it's the devotion and how much they clearly like each other as friends that keeps me writing for them. i love love love the ways they show how much the other means to them whether that be the grand gestures (the tokyo trip, jimin flying across the world to be there for jeongguk's birthday) or the little things (the way they baby each other and worry over the other's well-being).

also, i think the fun of writing an rpf otp is that you can really put them in any scenario you want. there is no canon we have to adhere to so you're really only restricted/limited by characterization and tbh you can take liberties there, too because we don't 100% know the boys. plus how you act as an idol may not be how you act in a dystopia au lol it really is like playing house and it lets me be as creative as i want so i find it easy to keep putting them in new scenarios! i do think that if they didn't love each other as much as they do, i'd have maybe lost interest but so far that hasn't happened so yay for me haha

anyways I'M SO SORRY THIS IS SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!! kudos to you if you read all the way to the end...

hope you have a great day anonie!

I stole this from @catboyadamparrish bc I want some of y'all to play with me here!

---

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

50! (holy shit, that's half of 100)

2. What’s your current AO3 wordcount?

549,342 words (jfc)

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

On Ao3, just two. I started the fanfic life writing Hanson fanfic back before most of you were born. (*bones creak ominously*)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

all of these are Teen Wolf fics, which makes sense since they've been on Ao3 for 5-6 years.

Can't Be Seen Alone (teen wolf fic)

Mating Moons (teen wolf fic)

Alpha and His Good Boy (Teen Wolf)

Oh, what a nice surprise! (Teen Wolf)

Sterek Song (Teen Wolf)

***Also going to post the top 5 kudos in the fandom i'm currently active in bc why the fuck not? If Vlamis has taught me nothing, it's be shameless in your self-promotion. LOL***

Can I Stay? (RNM fic)

Like A Hearse You'd Die To Get In Again (RNM fic)

A Working Title (RNM fic)

Michael Guerin is a Grower (RNM fic)

Kinktober 3 (RNM fic)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not.

Yes and no. I respond if I think I have something to say? Or if my brain is letting me. I want to be the person that responds to all comments and responds to all fics I read, but (esp with responses) I tend to drop the ball a lot. I just feel like sometimes I sound disingenuous saying the same "thanks for reading and commenting!" over and over and over in my comments section? like it's an auto-response and someone else looking at that might be like "oh, well they never really comment back, they just like thank you and go" and i don't want anyone to feel like that? Like, better to just stay silent? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's my anxiety and depression talking. LOL. If I haven't responded to you, it's not because I don't appreciate your comment, it's because I don't know what to say besides Thank You. But Thank You. Seriously. Keep responding to fics. It sometimes is the only thing that can keep my fingers moving over the keys.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Oh uhm... probably either Wash the Guilt and Longing from His Limbs or you are the reoccuring kind. (damnit, now I'm singing that stupid Bright Eyes song again. Hello angst my old friend)

7. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve ever written?

I don't! And I don't usually read them either? I think people who do write them are amazing, but I like my peas and carrots not to touch? I dunno. They've just never appealed to me. (That being said, I like AU's based on movies/books, but I just don't want Elizabeth Darcy and Elizabeth Ortecho to hang out and be friends?)

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I haven't! (Thank God) I see other people who do and I'm always flabbergasted why anyone would take the time to read something in its entirety just to yell that they didn't like it? There's a back button, my dude. There is an exit button. There is free will and all that. Curate your own fandom experience. If you don't wanna see things that upset you, then quit reading and find something you do wanna see?

9. Do you write smut?

Yes.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No! Or at least if I have, I'm not aware of it.

11. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No I haven't! I don't even know how that works, tbh. Like, part of me would like to try and part of me is like.... scared of being the Bossy One in a group project.

12. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Malex. Followed by pynch and then sterek. TW became such a shit show by the end it kind of tainted my love for them.

13. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Hanson!

14. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Next question... Oh wait, we're finished!
