OMGEEEv THANK YOU??! this is one of the nicest things ever :((( this is my first time writing a chaptered fic sooo idk what my process rlly is. i just try different stuff and if i like it it stays. I try to treat each chapter like their own little story within a wider picture. So you get the hook at the beginning each time and then a sort of conclusion where a thought process a character has is challenged or a realization is made (or i think ive ended on a cliffhanger once or twice hehe). I have written scenes tht were fun but didnt rlly serve a narrative purpose so i had to scrap em n it hurt 😭😭 like i had written a whole scene of the aftermath of seunghan biting wonbin but at tht point it was just a lot of explaining going back n forth between youngmi n seunghan n sohee tht just didnt need to be added cuz the reader knew most of it alrdy anyways. it was fun in the sense i got to write banter n convo between seungso but ofc they would be talking abt vampire stuff tht the reader was alrdy privy to and just got repetitive so i had to scrap it.

I loveee writing character studies and relationship (romantic, platonic, familial, spiritual) studies i guess. bcuz ppl are so complex and created by the world around them u get a lot of weird interactions. maybe thts just my experience w ppl but everyone is literally so weird in their own ways. not necessarily in a good or bad way. I prefer writing stories that focus on inward reflection more than just abt the ship. cuz duh, i think u learn a lot abt urself the more you interact w different individuals. so thts rlly fun to write idkk

As for my "process" idk if everyone does this (i dont have many writer friends 😭😭) but anyway, i like to write out the dialogue first sorta screenplay style so i can get a clear picture of the scene and then go back and fill in the gaps and change the dialogue if i wanna. Im a big movie person so i imagine my fics like movies and whatever themes and imagery serve a narrative purpose those are what i focus on writing abt. Most of my fics r inspired by other media. Upyr Software was heavily inspired by Thirst (2003) and this tonddo nun yuri is inspired by Conclave (2024) Im also a sucker for callbacks so i refer back onto things a lot. thts just a habit of mine tht will never die idc
