I’ve been writing longfic for ages. I’ve had several popular ones, dating back to 2013. Same writer. Similar quality (I won’t claim they’re all bangers).
Comments, kudos, bookmarks declined over time… but fell off a CLIFF in 2022.
If you want longfic, actually engage with it.

Fun fact: I used to teach music video analysis, and it was easy to tell who cheated because they'd tell me that member Jung Hoseok was abandoned at an amusement park as a child.
Sad confession: Sometimes when I get an especially moving comment, I put off answering it because it makes me feel so good seeing it in my inbox. At some point, there's a threshold where it's been long enough that I feel like I've insulted the commenter by not responding promptly
I comment on a lot of fics, sometimes more than once, and honestly the last thing I want is for a writer to be stressed about replying back. Just bc I spill my guts doesn’t mean you have to, as well, as you’ve already poured your blood, sweat, and tears into the fic.
The never ending saga of taking a shower 😂
🐣 Wahh, how am I going to wash up?
🐰 I really don’t want to wash up either
🐣 This is wrapped too. How am I going to unravel it? (his hair)
🐰 I have a solution. When you go to your room…
🐣 You sit on the sofa? Then it’s over.
🐰 No, not the sofa.
🐣 You have to go straight to the bathroom. You go directly to the bathroom with all your clothes on..
🐰 and then you walk back out? 😂
🐣 If you do that it’s over, you won’t wash for another 2 hours
🐰 So the funny thing is, you have a queen sized bed
🐣 Oh yeah I heard there’s two beds here
🐰 yeah, and then you have a smaller bed, a single. So the single is a place I can lay down on without being clean
🐣 mmmmm. You shouldn’t tell me that… because…. No no, I can’t do that. I need to go straight to the bathroom without even looking to the side.
I need to block my view like this🫸👀🫷
🐰 No, you need to look at your periphery
🐣 huh?
🐰You need to look at your periphery or you might fall down
🐣 I can see like this 🫸👀🫷
🐣 So I go straight to the bathroom and I get buck naked.
🐰 buck naked? 😂
🐣 Obviously, since you’re washing up. So you take off all your clothes, you put it away later, and you immediately get water on you and that’s the start. You need to get wet. The most important thing is getting your hair wet.
🐰You don’t remove your eye makeup first?
🐣 After I get wet, I wash my eyes. If I remove my eye makeup first without getting wet I’ll go back out to sit down again 😂
🐰🐣 (proceeds to show how they keep postponing taking a shower because they’re distracted by their phones and how they reprimand themselves)
🐰 The cell phone is scary
🐣 This is why you have to get yourself wet right away, or you have to throw your phone outside the room while you wash up. The cell phone is a problem!
My fanfic take is that some of the best fics you’ll ever read will come from Rare Pair authors but they never get the attention they deserve because they’re not writing popular pairings so most people just ignore them.
But they really are missing out on some absolute bangers.
@worldwidshouldr If even! It’s soooo expensive to live there, and what my money bought didn’t add up to what I value most in quality of life. Commute is huge. I liked not needing a car, but 45 minutes on the train? No thanks. Outdoor space? NYC has parks, but they’re city parks, yk?
@bangtanagan Me too! Just when I finished a huge yearlong project, I got put in charge of another massive project. At least this one will be finished in a couple weeks
@bangtanagan I have so many fics I’ve started and then put on hold because life got to be too much. 😭 I’m hoping that once school is out, I can make some real progress on them. My current favorite has Jimin as the new hire at a folk village where the other 6 work.
