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)?

How did you get into reading/writing K-pop RPF?
I got into kpop with tri-angle (came over via classical > Scandinavian meta > jrock/visual kei and lured by Jaejoong, Heechul, Taemin etc.) but with where I was living/no internet etc., I didn't actually perceive fandom (and then immediately fanworks-dom) until I stumbled across this Lu Han & Sehun video edit/vid (to this day it still makes me feel all the sad kinds of nostalgic), read the comments, spiralled out into websearches and started piecing together what this "fanfic" thing was. (I still even have the two sticky notes I started my notes on.)

the two notes
What is your platonic ideal of a K-pop fic (e.g. the elements you usually gravitate towards)?
I don't really have a specific reading one (maybe happy endings, if that counts?) but for writing my brain gets stuck on random rare/crack platonic ships, in the vein of "but what if person a and person b were siblings?" (or sibling-like friends). I don't know why; it's just fun I guess.

One of my friends has written Got7 Jay B and Twice Nayeon as siblings in multiple fics and it kind of spilled over into a lot of us doing that, and every time I would see it I felt really fond of the idea, so I totally get you! Also, I honestly think we don't see enough crackshipping/rare pairs these days in kpop!
