Rating: E
Summary:

Yeonjun sits up. “What am I thinking about? Exactly?”

Kai tilts his head. “Whether you want to date me or not,” he says, and then he’s gone.

Yeonjun deflates. That was the answer he didn’t want, because that’s the problem. He can’t date Kai. He’s just not a relationship person.

A/N: This is currently my longest kpop fic. It took two years to write, and came from dashidorawa's 100 Infinite Fic Challenge, which gave a prompt and two of the guys that had to be in it. I had so much fun with it, but I was SO glad when it was over!

Weekly Fic Discussion

Weekly Fic Discussion

Welcome again to kpop_fic! It's so so exciting to see so many different people joining in this community and sharing fics!

One idea arundels and I also had for this community was to have some regular discussion posts so that people have a chance to chat. So, here is our first Weekly Fic Discussion post!

This post can be used for any kind of fic discussion you want, but will also have a few prompt questions each week. We'll try to target both writers and readers with the prompt questions. 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:

• How did you get into reading/writing K-pop RPF?


• What is your platonic ideal of a K-pop fic (e.g. the elements you usually gravitate towards)?

A/N : I wrote this for Emofest last year, which was my first time doing a fic fest, and first time writing a kpop fic this angsty and open ended (though it is very me to have to invent a paring tag for a fic lol) Once I got the idea I decided to roll with it and I really like how it turned out!

A/N: This is definitely a blast from the past for me! My 2015 kpop_olymfics which I still haven't crossposted anywhere, so it's still only on the original LJ comm. I do want to note that the music video prompt it was written for was filmed in Germany (or at least "set" in Berlin), so that's why I have those references in the fic, but also if I were to edit it now (which I will whenever I crosspost it), I would definitely revise some things about the setting (like using the word "prom" and stuff). But, all in all, I still love this one.

Mingyu rubs at his eyes and mumbles, “I know you wouldn’t be yelling at me.”

A/N: I described this fic as a "weird sad little story" when I first posted, and I do think that's true. It's more of a friendship study/gen fic than anything else, and I always want gen fic in fandom to get more love!
