fancracked: And I also think — especially for writers or really for readers as well… when you’re friends with someone like that they really inspire you because there’s so much fangirly energy flowing around that you end up catching the fever–as a graphic artist or a writer or a fan in general.
tae: hahah exactly! Those conversations that go on like “omg minwoo’s face!” “omg I want to kidnap him and put him in my pocket” “let’s do it” “OMG STUD MUFFIN.” Only fangirls know those conversations.
fancracked: An old friend used to always tell me that she was going to kidnap him and put him in her closet!! lol When I look back on it now, I’m like “omg we sounded hella scary” lolz but those were such funny convos!! And they lead to great crack stories! hehehe
tae: LMAO agreed. Fangirl convos are the best.

Fics are one of those things that…you can’t STOP talking about them, you know what I mean? And that goes through all the eras. People are still reading fics like Kiss the Sky and What I Did for Love and it’s been more than a decade since they were written. I think that’s amazing… fics are a force of their own. So many friendships have been made over the years just by bonding over fics and I think...
SNAPSHOT: CGI BOARDS, PT. I →
Today, forum boards are how we usually access the kpop (fic) world if we’re not on blog/social media sites. CGI World boards used to also be part of the landscape in the 90s and 2000s, closing down around 2006-ish. The only major fanfic community once hosted by CGI board that lives on today is the Writers’ Asylum, thanks to the efforts of its lead admins JK and Insane_Menace. ^^
One of...
INTERVIEW: TAE, PT. I →
tae: I actually have been a k-popper since I was a baby. I was born in Seoul, so all I had to listen to was what was on TV and radio, which, inevitably, was stuff like Seotaiji and Goofy and Roora. And then H.O.T. came out when I was around 6 or 7, and that was the beginning of a whole new world for me. I loved Candy — when they would come out to perform it on KBS’s Music Bank back in the day, I...

FAN ON THE STREET: DTP25 →
SHOUT BOX… I never thought I’d grow out of kpop. But you do eventually. Fanfiction was very accessible to everyone as it was a platform for young writers to present their talents with a common interest. It’s just very unfortunate, many of my favourite writers, with some fantastic fanfics on hold, seem to have grown out of fanfiction too.
Because of the explosion in popularity that soompi has...

general update (:
Hey, hey~
Hope you guys have been enjoying the change in the weather seasons! Actually, I’m not sure what the climate’s like where you guys are but the weather’s finally warming up over on the east coast. Hopefully it stays that way!
Some general updates and notes:
I changed the layout ^^ I wish it weren’t so closely aligned with the left side, but I liked it more than...
FAN ON THE STREET: BLUETOPAZ →
BlueTopaz: It’s so hard to find a good fanfic nowadays, for all the fanfic writers out there, please keep on writting. Just remember, when you write a fanfiction, you need to have a good understanding of your characters, especially if you based them on existing characters (real life person or characters from a TV show or book). Please also be careful when you are using a real-life...
FAN ON THE STREET: LEE-CHAN →
lee-chan: I write more Japanese fanfics since I understand the language and culture more. Although kpop will still have a place in me, so occasionally I manage to whip a few Korean fanfics. … Aside from writing, I enjoy traveling. And its through my travels my inspiration takes form. Through the people and places I go. I also play the piano every once in awhile, read books and manga,...

In medias res...
In medias res or medias in res (into the middle of things) is a Latin phrase denoting the literary and artistic narrative technique wherein the relation of a story begins either at the mid-point or at the conclusion, rather than at the beginning (cf. ab ovo, ab initio), establishing setting, character, and conflict via flashback and expository conversations relating the pertinent past. The main...

gokon?!
Hey guys, the other week I thought of an idea that writers/readers may be interested in… Let me know if you think it’s too out-there of an idea or too creepy ^^ I’d love to hear feedback—especially if you’d like to participate (:
(This idea isn’t for the summer relay/marathon thing >_<~~)
Basically writers and readers would sign up if they’d like to have “gokon meetings”/”blind dates” to...
SOLANGEL PT. III (final) →
Sally: Do you ever feel pressure at all?
Sol: I think that is quite a very important and frank question. To be perfectly honest and avoid having to sugar-coat anything, I don’t feel any pressure writing fictions to be well-received by the Soomp! fanfiction section. No one writer should ever burden themselves with such superficial pressure, I have learned. If that was that case, I would have...
SOLANGEL, PT. II POSTED →
sol: Don Dellio, the American author and playwright, once stated, “Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in making all around us. In the end, writers write not to be outlaw heroes of some underculture but mainly to save themselves, to survive as individuals.” This quote of his entirely embodies what it means for me to write. Even E.L. Doctorow once...
INTERVIEW: SOLANGEL →
sol: Contrary to the popular notion that the ending of the story was meant to bring the story full circle from the introduction to the epilogue with the most heartfelt scene that is meant to evoke emotions such as sadness and pain from readers – for me personally, the ending simply defined the story in and of itself. Right from the point of its conception, CBU was meant to tell a story of how...
