Most of BTS: I want to spend it with everyone
Namjoon: YOONGI
Rest of bts: 🤨

TRANS ~ Q: If you could spend the very last day on Earth with a member, who would you choose and why?
Jimin: Rather than just choosing one, I want to spend it with everyone! It's more meaningful if we spend it together, right?
Jungkook: Can't choose either. I'll spend it with everyone.
Suga: Can't choose either. It's the best if we all spend it together.
Rap Monster: Suga-hyung. Although we spend a lot of time together, it seems like we still have a lot we haven't said to each other so I hope we'll eventually say them.
J-Hope: If we die, we'll die together! If we live, then we'll live together!
V: Jungkook! No reason in particular. I just want to play together.
Jin: I hope all seven members can be together. It's impossible to choose only one.

1. share a fic you're especially proud of

Today, right now, it’s this. I created new slang and really tried to make it feel like another time and place.

3x3 moodboard
Top row left to right is Hoseok near bare face looming wistfully towards the right in all neutral colors, a psychedelic amalgamation of blue and green and orange-red with little whit mushrooms, two hands held together to cup the sunlight coming through the blinds.
Middle row is a large building complex in disrepair, a dark tiled will with neon lighting that says “this must be the place”, and then roof tops of old grungy buildings that look forgotten.
Bottom row- two shirtless men in a back hug as one presses their lips against the other’s shoulder, a set of stair descending down in garish lighting with the walls an unsettling green color, Jungkook in a sepia sort of color photo, the land barren behind him

29. how easy is it for you to come up with titles?

I’m always one end of the spectrum or the other- I either have a title in mind from basically the beginning or I’m googling random things to spark something for like an hour leading up to posting.

27. your favorite part of the writing process

Starting a new work. I love those opening scenes so much, and the feeling of something fresh and new with endless possibilities. I also love hearing thoughts from the people I love and respect, seeing what they took away and what spoke to them.

24. how do you recharge when you're not feeling creative?

READING!! Watching movies, hanging out with my roommates, going to concerts, traveling, listening to music. Just trying not to put any pressure on myself and enjoy the things that make me human before I make some art

23. pick three keywords that describe your writing

Atmospheric, hmm idk

I know they will. And I’ve always been a writer, even as a kid I was always writing, so it’s gonna happen anyway but I know I will always have at least 2 comments/kudos and I’ve spent half my life writing for them anyway.

22. do you ever worry about public reaction to what you're writing? how do you get past that?

Of course I care, I love to see comments and kudos, public reaction gives me the energy and excitement to keep going. I’m lucky that my roommates are 2 of my biggest fans, if no one else reads my fics, +

19. the most interesting topic you've researched for a fic

10000% folklore and burial/grieving rituals. So fascinating and it’s frequently woven into a ton of my stories, even if it’s just a throw away sentence. I also researched the history of cinema in SK for literally 1 line in The Hook.

18. if you keep them, share a deleted sentence or paragraph from a published fic

I completely scrapped and restarted I Can’t Remember The Dawns Anymore. I have over 2k of the original version in which Jin runs the diner. It had a very different vibe and wasn’t bad but wasn’t great.

There's a place between sleeping and awake.
It's the space between sunbeams and dust swirling in the air beneath the window panes.
It's a little place bathed in warm lights on the corner of a darkened empty road, in the middle of a bustling city.

No one goes there, this place. Its right there but when you look it's way, your phone rings. Your mom is calling. You keep walking, answering the phone and explaining your weekend plans and why you can't come to dinner on that particular night. The dark and empty street is blocks behind you and you've already forgotten you were trying to look at something in the first place.

This place.

Jin's Place.

The lettering on the exterior leaves no room for guessing. This place belongs to him, every stool and mug and splintered soul.
This is his domain.

The coffee is either the very best or the very worst you've ever tasted, there's no in between. The pie is perfect no matter what. The Americana breakfast is warm, but not as warm as the smile that greets you when you walk through the door.

The last stop at the end of the line.

The last stop before the here after.

Jin is wiping down glasses when a broad young man sits down at his bar. He looks a little lost, as do most of Jin's patrons.

"What can I get you?"

He seems to startle the man. "Huh?"

"What can I get you?" Jin asks again. "A drink? Something to eat..."

"Oh uhhh." He looks around the place, fairly empty for the time being. "I guess a drink?"

"Sure. Coffee, juice? Something a little stronger?" Jin gives the man a salacious wink. "I keep a bottle of the good stuff under the counter for special occasions. I won't tell if you don't."

"Who would I tell?"

"Precisely!"

The man continues to stare at Jin, as if trying to figure him out, but a small smile framed in dimples appears eventually. "A coffee is fine, I guess."

Jin nods and goes to grab the fresh pot he'd brewed not five minutes ago as well as a mug and the cream and sugar. He pours the man a sizable cup with just enough room for cream and sugar.

"Thanks."

By the time he's doctored his coffee to his liking, there's a mountain of ripped sugar packets and one flavored creamer pod next to his mug. He takes a sip and makes a noise of content.

"My pleasure."

"Where am I?" The man asks before taking another big gulp of coffee.

"Jin's."

"But where is Jin's?" He looks around them. At the bullet marred panes of glass framing one side of the building. At the row of old TVs lining the top of one wall, each one playing the same visual of animated horses racing around a track, looping endlessly just as the horses loop around the dirt Derby track. The couple tucked in the corner lean drunkenly over their little table, heads bent towards each other. "I don't remember coming here."

"It's usually best not to remember."

Sharp eyes watch him, eyebrows knit.

A bell chimes somewhere, though Jin knows there's no real door to this place.

"What's your name?" Jin asks, though he knows. It pulls the attention back from the man that just entered, wandering slowly through the grid of tables.

"Namjoon. Kim Namjoon."

"Excuse me-"

They both look at the newcomer. He smiles bright despite the hard edge to his posture, it's clear to Jin how uncomfortable he is. The heart shaped smile endears him enough to almost ask him for more than a name.

"Is this seat taken?" He asks Namjoon.

Namjoon looks around the diner, mostly empty save for the drunk couple in the corner and an elderly man near the jukebox.

"No?"

He sits down with a more heartfelt smile. "You don't sound so sure."

"Oh... No. No one is sitting here."

"Except that's not true is it?" He laughs an infectious little thing that has Jin turning away to find glasses to shine.

"Huh?" Namjoon appears enamored. Jin doesn't blame him.

In fact, he's not sure who he's more envious of in this moment.

"I'm sitting here." He laughs again, leaning into Namjoon's space. "My name is Hoseok."

"Um. Namjoon."

"It's nice to meet you, Namjoon." He looks around again. His eyes land on Jin. "Where exactly am I?"

"You're at Jin's, the last stop."

He takes it seemingly well, though Jin can tell he's more afraid of asking any additional questions.

"Is the coffee good?" Hoseok asks Namjoon.

"Oh, uh, yeah it is."

"Can I get an iced americano?"

"Coming right up."

"Can you do something about that guy?" A gruff voice interjects from behind Hoseok and Namjoon.

Jin sighs. "What now, Yoongichi?"

"It's Yoongi," he mutters for maybe the millionth time.

"And the old man won't leave me alone. Keeps saying he's playing this song for me and that I owe him money."

Projects, I usually reread previous sections and I typically will edit while I’m doing that but otherwise I save editing for the end. I mostly look at story flow/beats and less at grammar if I’m being honest. For a feat I may or may not find a beta.

17. talk about your writing and editing process

I HAVE to write straight through on the first pass, I can’t skip around to different scenes and then go back. I have to write linear to the story(not necessarily the plot’s linear timeline though). Since I’m a slow writer and jump around to different+
