Mission: Daesang at MAMA!

THE BASICS

Stray kids is nominated for six(!) Daesangs (i.e. major awards) at MAMA this year. However, there is only one that we can really contribute to: Worldwide Icon of the Year, which is 100% fan voting. In the post below, I’ll go through the basics of how you can vote for Stray Kids.

Guys please vote. I know it may not seem like that since we are against a huge fandom but we actually have a shot at this if we all come together!!!! Feel free to DM or send an ask if you have any questions to OP to me!

*clasps hands* Dear other-fandoms-who-follow-me, I come to you in a time of need

[ohtze]

Hi, I just wanted to say that I bumped into Monomoth when I was in early highschool, and now I've made it out of graduate school, and I bumped into it again while I was going through a bout of nostalgia. I'm SO IMPRESSED that you're keeping up with it! I know it takes a while to update for good reason, but wow I was just so taken aback that there were new chapters. And that you've even mentioned that you're editing stuff now! that's all I wanted to say. looking forward to more! nice work!

Ahhh! Omg, that is a trip down memory lane. I’m so glad the story accompanied you through that journey!

And yeah, I’m stuck in edits! 2020/2021 threw me through the wringer and now I have a new job, so I’m basically just playing catch up.

Hello dear author, I just want to say you’re divine for blessing us with a masterpiece like monomoth. I thought I’d never find a fanfiction where sakura is portrayed in such a complexed way. You’ve created something so beautiful and dark. You’re truly a gifted writer. I am sorry if it got weird but monomoth is so good I want to cry. I hope you might complete it one day. Wish you all the happiness and success in this world.

❤️❤️❤️ thank you! That means so much to me, especially for how Sakura is depicted. Trauma is complex and I wanted to get that across.

Good news is Monomoth is all drafted; bad news is finding time to edit. That’s the only thing holding up the rest of the chapters.

Tfw you fall into kpop as a way to feel alive again in the face of a never-ending pandemic

Today there were anti-vaccine protests in my neighbourhood, and the amount of anger I feel towards them and this situation and the inexhaustible length of the pandemic is eating me up worse than usual. I lost a family member directly to this disease in 2020, and I was unable to spend time with another dying family member who passed this summer because of the lockdowns. I am so tired and bitter and my memory is jagged, and the way they put everyone at risk will never not be personal

The good news I mentioned a couple weeks ago has been genuinely good news and I’m so glad that it came, but it also fundamentally shifted my schedule and my free time and that new schedule + all my previously existing tasks leaves me tired in a way that is hard to articulate

Hi Shi!! 👋🏽 Do you have any tips for someone who is just starting to think seriously about writing well into their 20s?

If I had to narrow it down, my best advice is to find a writers group with people you like/trust/get along with, who are all working towards similar goals. So if your main desire is to write fanfic, look for a fanfic group; if it’s to publish an original novel, or to write comics, aim for that too!

Writing can be a solitary activity, and you can learn skills on your own, ofc, but having other people to bounce ideas off of, talk about industry events, and share tips + resources is frankly invaluable. It’ll help you grow so much quicker. The group doesn’t have to be very big, either; even just 3-4 ppl can make a difference, and it can be a group you form with friends too.
