Author Spotlight: Pandorable
I wanna start a series that I’ll add to over time, and it’s being inspired by my dear friend Pandorable. She is an incredible voice, the kind of author that has the perfect balance of sexy, sweet, and sentimental. If you’re the kind of reader who enjoys strong characterizations, beautiful use of metaphor and phrasing, witty dialogue rife with dry humor, and sweet fluff that warms your heart as it bookends the kind of smut that burns your tongue because it’s so spicy, then Pandorable is for you!
Who do they write for?
BTS
How’d you get to know the author?
We actually met through her perfect snapshots on Twitter (PeachyIcedTae). That name, plus the fact that her name on there is Parched Jimin, should hint to you how hilarious she is! I’m so glad we started chatting, because given her caliber of writing, I’ve just learned so much, and have had such a blast getting to share and create with her!
What do you like about their work?
SO MANY THINGS. I’ll try and pick a couple that have really captured my heart, but seriously, this author is someone who will have you admiring them from the first sentence!
Her stories are always captivating and interesting, with some fun premise and strong and intriguing characterization at the heart of every single one. I love her phrasing and use of metaphor. If you can read music or are familiar with musical terminology, her writing always feels like the best legato ballad, notes connected so smoothly, never too harsh. She finds really creative and wonderful ways to describe things, from the way the outside world looks in a hasty cab ride, to the way that that the street food vendors’ dishes float up to your apartment. Always so beautiful, smooth, and vivid. Put that all together, and you get the Pandorable haze. Because of her high-caliber writing, her smooth style, and the heat from her naughtier scenes, I liken my experience as a reader to lying in a motel room after a romp with a lover, the heat sweltering, one fan pointlessly circling overhead. Her work is always immersive, poignant, and memorable.
What should I check out?
The Roommate Series, starting with The Roommate: Namjoon. This is the work that launched me into the next phase of my writing, truly. Put it to you this way -- she single-handedly moved Namjoon into bias-wrecker territory for me with this one. She also has The Roommate: Jungkook, which is just as devastating and fulfilling as TRN, and more members coming soon!
The College Years Series, which I’m still getting to know, but of which I am immediately a huge fan based on Just Say Yes! Shippers will be extra satisfied here (check the tags)!
The Stumble Upon Series, which has so many great works that I’m still absorbing! Cinematic is an absolute FAVE (who wouldn’t love Yoongi and a motorcycle?!), and The Fare is a really steamy one that is quickly making Taehyung a bias-wrecker for me as well. Pandorable is slowly making me OT7, y’all.
The Temp, a story about how you became the groups’ assistant, and ended up being so much more. Be sure to follow up with the ongoing My Heart is an Ocean, which extends the story, and contains prime examples of some of that beautiful phrasing that I mentioned!
Be sure to check content/trigger warnings before you read!
GO CHECK OUT PANDORABLE! She’s an incredible writer, and an amazing, amazing friend. Have fun, and tell me what you think! And I’ll keep this series going and keep posting in appreciation of the writers who have impacted me!
