(Bi)Weekly Fic Discussion

Welcome back to our (now every other) Weekly Fic Discussion post!

This post can be used for any kind of fic discussion you want, but there are also a few prompt questions each week. You can reply to all of them, one of them, or none of them if you have something else you want to talk about!

Feel free to post WIP snippets, ask others' opinion on characterization, share a clip that has broken your brain, etc.!

This week's prompt questions:

• What was the first Kpop fandom you read/wrote for?


• Tell us about the plot of the first fanfic you ever wrote (any fandom).

I think the first Kpop fandom I read for was SHINee, but I first wrote for EXO. Pretty sure. It's been a long while since The Beginning.

The very first fanfic I wrote, however, was way before I knew Kpop was a thing. Maybe first grade or something, there was some assignment to write a story. No idea the specifics, but I was always making stories and drawing stories and read a lot of mysteries. Through my brother, I was introduced to the Boxcar Children. The first fanfic I can recall (only because I found and recycled it recently) was for the Boxcar Children. I didn't read it; it was tossed with a pile of other old school assignments.

I can much more confidently date my first Kpop fic. It was a SeKai (EXO) fic posted in November, 2013, and it was about questioning the future and likelihood of being together as older people. One of the few canon-compliant stories I wrote before falling for the appeal of AUs.

I didn't even know that fanfiction was a thing until years later, but I would've read it as a little kid, too. Written by kids for kids? What better way to encourage reading and creativity? I imagine lots of self-inserts, going on grand adventures.
