GIRL I AM NOT EVEN JOKING MY TOXIC MINSUNGER SISTER SAID SHE WOULD NOT READ THE FICS UNLESS IT WAS MINSUNG. originally i was writing background jeongsung in the long game as the established couple who had been together since they were young teenagers, but then she was like 'im not reading that' and she was the ONLY person who read my fic at the time bc it was just a thing we did together I never posted things. so i said Fine Whatever and changed it. i like minsung a lot now and their plot ended up being a lot more interesting than the jeongsung i had planned so it worked out! i would like to return to jeongsung one day in a different universe hahahaha

fuuuck this franchise but hands down my biggest fanfiction inspo was a series of harry potter and the cursed child fics (never cared about the original harry potter universe but for some reason i loved that fucking play that everyone hated😭). i read it in like 2016 & it is the reason my fics are the way they are for real. it was a mega long multi-pov extended universe with a lot of interwoven relationship dynamics, insights on the lasting impacts of trauma and insanely strong characters + dialogue. my fave part was that i could always tell which character was speaking even before reading the tags, i thought it was The Best Thing Ever and really wanted to be able to create multifaceted but grounded/recognizable characters like that.

I haven’t read much fanfiction for the last decade or so, so a lot of my more recent inspo comes from movies and single-camera sitcoms. before skz consumed me my special interest was single-camera sitcoms so whenever I got comments on the long game that were like ‘this reads like a sitcom’ I giggled bc they were right on the nose hahahaha

thanku for askingggggg! this is a really emmy-lore heavy answer omg
