hey i don’t go here but one of ur tweets came up and (as someone who used to be into k-pop years ago and also wrote fics about my faves) i just wanted to say, you should keep writing anyway. you mentioned having a mix of fluff and smut, so it sounds like your stories were genuinely plotted out etc. you’ll keep having ideas, much like you’ll (unfortunately) keep having haters. you should post what you have anyway and let ppl enjoy your art with you, don’t suppress the creative side of you!!!
it’s funny, bc 99% chance companies and idols know things like fanfics and shipping exists for them. we have seen idols explicitly ask for some ships not to be spoken about, for some works not to be based on them. if these two idols ur writing about haven’t said shit, then i think you’re more than good.
also im bringing this up bc anon said they were concerned for the idols in question but isn’t one of the idols someone who read a manga or something with controversial material in it, but he recommended it anyway bc obviously he wasn’t focusing on that part, just the wider story?? i feel like if anons gonna advocate for anyone, it can’t be these two 😭 i think he wouldn’t give a fuck if ur writing smut about him so. do ur thing!!!
i’m actually not legitimately a smut writer and say constantly to my writer oomfs that i’m so Self Conscious about it. sorry to disappoint readers but i have the one smut scene in my fics as a claim to the explicit rating for the sake of clickbait. i’m an Angst girl, sadly. but i really really thank you for this message. writing is vulnerable and the process of creating is difficult with all the self doubt.
but i do agree with you! i used to love fifth harmony (lol) and camila and lauren’s discomfort with the ship made me avoid any contact with shippers / creative works of the two. i get that there’s some more gray areas since kpop idols speak their minds a little less freely, but if either of them said anything specifically about the shipping between them, i’d stop immediately.
AHHHH that thing .. he did say he watched it and was able to criticize (?) the parts that were more controversial, as anything should be ! the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and i believe everything should be thought about critically, but the eagerness to turn whatever anon was doing into a moral debate was so strange to me, especially because they were trying to advocate for my own community for me
