No one should be that comfortable enclosed in a fortress of unstructured imagination.

this was my favorite line. and the character of the writer (who i will not assume is you, because you are way too talented for mary sue bullshit, and that's not even a mary sue, to be perfectly honest, since she's painted as the villain, almost) was really disturbing to me, like one of the demented kids from a pixar film (darla from finding nemo, maybe, or sid from toy story). it is REALLY WEIRD to write RPF/RPS, and i think people are too easily offended by that implication. i think it's weird, and i write it. and frankly i find it embarrassing that people are super open about it to the point of telling THE SUBJECT OF THE STORY about it. why are you tweeting your fanfic to your bias/favorite band member/favorite actor/etc??? STOPPPPPP. so thank you for acknowledging the absurdity of that.

i agree with what another commenter said - i've seen this done before but played a bit more for laughs. this was really disconcerting, the lack of control hoya had. could probably be seen as an interesting commentary on predestination but i doubt calvinism was on your mind when writing this, eh? xD

cheers. and fuck the haters, they aren't worth your time, anyway.

thank you very much--it was definitely my favorite line as well. as you said, it's the line where the writer is clearly painted as (one of) the villain(s) of the story. and that was very important to me.

RPF/RPS is, as you said, a frustrating issue to tackle. the division between "onlooker" and "participant" disintegrates as we fans begin to communicate with our favorite actor/singer/etc on twitter. we begin to lose sight of what's real, what's fictional, and what to believe. we start to write "meta" for these...characters. we try and figure out what's real so we can write more fiction for them.

the act of writing is really interesting, and i've had a lot of fun with this story thus far.

thank you so much.

OH GOD MY HEART. i just. fuck, i love how this starts with hoya being so unwilling, and now that he has real feelings for dongwoo, the author won't give him the satisfaction. it just makes all the options in the wavefunction collapse more heartrendingly awful. they can't be together in reality and they can't even be together in fiction.

i sort of hate the author right now. ;~;

it's almost a trainwreck; we want it to end, but we already know how it's ended, and yet we keep watching.

thank you!
