What is your favorite work and why? Your most successful? One of my favorite works I’ve written is: “King Of Hearts”, which is my royal! Park jimin fic! It was so much fun to write and its one of my longer fics! I loved writing the dialogue and the emotions that both the reader and Jimin went through. As for my most successful work, I think it’s one of my Jungkook fics? Its titled “Shy” and it has multiple parts, and it was one of the first works I posted to Tumblr.
Who is your favorite person to write about? BTS or any of my fave kpop groups, I think its fun to imagine what it would be like if they weren’t famous.
