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)?

omg hello fellow former 1D fan! in 2012 i almost got into hockey rpf thanks to lj primers, but then there were 1D primers as well, and i fell HARD into them instead (and then ofc it was easy to follow the 1D-->hockey pipeline instead of the one to kpop, but...i ended up here eventually). i both wrote and read a lot of fic - if u care to say, which ships were you most into? i wonder if we unknowingly crossed paths.

haha the 1D pipeline has fed a lot of currently-active fandoms, I suspect! I got into 1D rpf via Ziam, which of course got extremely dramatic and upsetting after Zayn left... but I also read a lot of Lirry (Liam/Harry) and Lilo (Liam/Louis). Liam was honestly so fascinating to me in an rpf sense because he had such obvious and deep-seated insecurities that he tried to cover up with way too much bravado; unfortunately all of those are really coming to the fore now and he is...

hahaha, omg mood! I've always been a rare pair shipper and also a niall girl, but my corner of fandom was lilo-heavy and i really liked liam for those reasons as well...... Unfortunate
