I can only tell you my side of the story; lame crap that I write in single sittings
note: the first is a conversation from the «what forever feels like» universe, but the setting had no elevator until I read « while locking his door». (the two are completely different stories though.) the second is a rough excerpt from «I saw the sky painted in your

your writing is fucking beautiful
i love this style. short verse, basic syntax, all emotion. it's lyrical and powerful and not a lot of people can pull it off. you totally just did. my favourite was the onkey but not because i'm biased although i might be.

i'll definitely be reading more of your work.

[sansunparapluie]

hi :') ...you are key-biased?

and you flatter me! i'm very glad you think so. my writing aesthetic has changed in the time that I've spent writing fics and yup, currently working toward simple sentences and basic vocabulary. my older works are more convoluted though, so i have half a mind to tackle you to the ground and not let you read them. /hides face

um, most of my recent entries -- my onho/minkey longfic and my wartime!AU jongkey oneshot -- are locked. in case you're interested in that stuff (and don't mind making a new friend), let me know, haha.

[swiftlocks]

yeh i'm a locket ♥ i ship everyone with key but my otps are onkey and keyjong

i'm actually an english major and a literature enthusiast, so i appreciate a wide variety of styles. i'm sure that i'll like your other work just as much if not more, especially since my own work tends to be very convoluted. but it definitely says something for your skill if you can be proficient in both simple techniques and more complex ones.

actually i do want to read them! especially that wartime!AU because that's one of my fave themes.

you're really cute ha ♥

[sansunparapluie]

I warn you I talk a lot. don't be scared off lol

[swiftlocks]

no it's okay i talk a lot too ♥

actually, i started out as an MVP for 6 months back in 2009. jinki & jonghyun hold permanent spots at #2 (although jinki slightly higher than jjong), hence the preferred shipping. but i wouldn't say that we'd only have met through onkey! like i mentioned earlier, i ship all key pairings except het because weirdno, i'm not minoring in anything at the moment but i do want to minor in creative writing at some point. i don't know what country you're in, but i'm from the states, so i can only speak for industries here. an english major is the most common major in this country, so it's both easy and hard to find a job with that degree. easy because it's a pretty basic degree so your options are pretty widespread to almost anything non sciencey/mathematical. but it's also harder because if an english major and a journalism major were both to apply for a job working as a reporter, obviously the journalism major would take precedence. in that case, it helps to be a lot more specific

oh good, then I won't feel bad rambling. :9

i've been reading and writing fanfiction since i was 7, but i didn't start posting my fic until i was 10. this was for video game/anime fandoms. ofc i posted it claiming to be older than i actually was and no one caught on, ever. ahaha...idk if i should be proud of that, actually OTL what was my childhood my fave authors in the shinee fandom right now are:
stillbirthling, htenusho (who both cover extremely dark subjects but their style and talent is unmatched, especially stillbirthling omfg her writing style is word-porn),
quellazaire (who writes amazing fantasy AUs),
& hiddenmeghanisi would love to read one of your plot developed AUs one day! but i know how hard they are to write and keep up and maintain. i've written a few long and complicated ones myself

[sansunparapluie]

wow, so for a long time! I'm very new in comparison, since I got into this business only because of shinee. I was curious, which led to reading fics, and then I got the urge to write, so I did. and don't worry about scaring me away lol. I separate my discomfort with certain themes from my interactions with people who may be comfortable with said themes. there's more to a person than whether or not he/she has an interest in darkfic. BUT OMG CHEESECAKE *___* it makes me a bit sad that I can only eat a small portion of cheesecake at a time to enjoy it from beginning to end

[swiftlocks]

YES LET'S lol i feel like we totally just bonded this is one of the most intense conversations i've ever had on LJ in like 6 years tbh

[sansunparapluie]

the last time I had a serious conversation like this on LJ was...last year (well, considering that I only got on LJ halfway through 2011, there wasn't much of a choice in terms of which year, haha). it was about the sort of stuff that I write versus glitter and sex. I don't know, some aspects of it still bother me.

so. happy things. er, are you in any other k-fandoms? or j-fandoms? and wow, we're totally doing this in the wrong order but hi, I'm renn, what's your name? lol

[swiftlocks]

sorry i'm replying to this so late OTL
halloween threw me off my game but i'm back now ♥

Hi Renn, nice to meet you! I'm Lamia~
I wouldn't say that I'm in any other fandoms as in actively participating in fandom activities but I like tons of artists.

kpop: iu, 2ne1, jyj, boa, sistar, beast, brown eyed girls, block b, rania, f(x), big bang, wonder girls,

jpop: utada hikaru, namie amuro, yui, koda kumi, morning musume, perfume, SoutaiseiRiron, uverworld, are most notable

[sansunparapluie]

couldn't go to the halloween parties because I was writing midterms/recovering from writing midterms and the day of halloween itself was a long and tiring day for me. but at least went out for dinner afterwards. did you do anything fun?

the artists that we listen to overlap somehwat on the korean side of things but pretty much not at all on the japanese side, lol orz. I listen to a different set of female jpop soloists (ayaka, fukuhara miho, nakashima mika, ito yuna etc.) and other jrock bands (a.b.s ♥). I know of uverworld though, through gundam 00 and something else I forget.

do you have non-title track recommendations for kpop? I got in touch with k-music through idols and I remain active as a shawol, but I honestly listen to k-indie a lot more.
