hello my besties🤍 first of all happy 1st of July, sorry I haven't been posting as much. Honestly after caratland and even before that I just really didn't have the bandwidth to think about anything else. Not in a sad way, more of I'm reflecting type of way.

Also I've been meaning to write new stories with other members, maybe work on some requests finally but I can't just come up with a story i love... I'd start writing and never arrive on a plot I can finish. Hence why the lack of new fics. As i have always said here, I dont want to post just for the sake of posting a new one.

Which brings me to here, I wrote this one fic (a new one. unreleased, not even final draft😭) while I was deep in my 'reflection week' mode. You can say I'm not over that angst era of my fics and honestly I love this new fic i wrote. I'll work on it and see if it's worth reading and worth your time. Right now you are witnessing me fighting my own self bcs i dont think it's good but also i worked hard writing it and yet i dont feel satisfied. Like you get me?😅 truly i am my harshest critic, a flaw i have yet to fix after all these years.

Until then i hope you can wait a bit more🥺 thank you and see on the next fic. Hope you have the great July ahead✨️

i saw this tweet that said "happy valentine’s day to all the fictional men written by women, i wish y’all were real. no one does romance like you"

as a lover of love, mother of fluff, forever hopeless romantic, I hope you find some comfort and warmth on this day. May we all find the love we read and write about🤍

Happy valentines, my besties! 🌻

hellooooo~ happy march everyone!

First, let me just say thank you to everyone who showed love for Vitals: still yours. When I said that story was a challenge to write, it truly was. I'm going to confess now, I wrote that story last year. I had the whole plotline and rough draft of it sitting on my laptop for months because i was doubting if people would like it. It challenged me so much as a writer, angst and drama isn't the genre I find easy to write. I'm all sunshine guys😅 but when I wrote that story, I wanted to show that sometimes some love can hurt, can come back and can heal. I wanted to write something that showed love requires sacrifice, compromise and compassion.

Whenever I write longer stories, it does take a toll on me artistically. Hence why I haven't posted a new one, I will be back I'm just taking a quick break😊

Also let me just take this time to say every time someone tells me they love how I write Cheol, it makes my heart grow a bit more. Please do love him more, please see him more in the light I try to show in all my stories.

The reason I can write so many stories inspired by my love for him is because that's just how I perceive him. He's the kind of person that makes me love love even more. You know my most most most favorite SVT lyric is "won't let them break your heart", and I just can't help but believe that someone out there can love, protect and stand with you even when everything else gets hard. Whoever he ends up loving in this lifetime, they would be the luckiest person ever. I keep thinking if this is how lovely this lifetime is with him, then I want all of them to be like this too. Him always. In all ways.

Sooooo yea, thank you thank you thank you. See you on my next fic my besties

Helllooooo so it’s been a while. I just wanted to come here and rant well not rant more like just ramble.

When I wrote bend the brake i really wasn’t thinking about it having a sequel, much less a whole series for that universe. If you can tell, at the first fic (bend the brake) i dont go much into details of the actual racing world because well i don’t know anything😂 all i knew was cheol looked good in a leather jacket and he’d look sooooo god behind the wheel HAHA

I had to look up those details when I wrote the next fics. I was surprised how many laps there are per race, then races differ from one another so the number might depend on that too. Like ur girlie was overwhelmed hahah i was fact checking on one tab while writing it out on the other so it took some time writing all four of them but i think it turned out okay😅

As for picking out the tropes for each one, I think all of them are the perfect fit.

For Seungcheol - Bend The Brake. I knew from the moment I wrote it, that nonchalant-sunshine combo. Like she’s the right amount of clumsy and stupid, a perfect contrast to his calculated-preditected turns always-so-sure personality. That line ‘same thing, different speed’ i reallllyyy loved it and I felt like it captured their dynamic perfectly.

For Minghao’s - Chasing Fire, it’s a flip. He’s this known ice prince and her being the fire. Thus Chasing fire. For a man who has never seen a set of tail lights, here he was chasing after this girl. Hao in my mind is the perfect mix of being lowkey but will feel so deeply and purely. Ike if he’s all in, he’s all in.

Then there’s Vernon’s - Headlights and Headliner. I was thinking how can it be different from the first two fics, so here we have Vernon who I think out of all my four racers, is the one who doesn’t care about the spotlight, media and fame at all but of course it comes with their world. And here comes OC, the new girl. Just trying to make her mark, achieve her career goals. I was really inspired with that line from Headliner - ‘you’re my headliner’, but more like from his POV. she’s his headliner.

and then Jeonghan’s - Rings and Roadblocks. Honestly, his’ was a challenge. Like what else can I write about. When I thought of the trope for his fic, it just clicked immediately. Like ah yes this is jeonghan, i can write this jeonghan. Him and OC matches each other so welllllll it’s just chemistry from start to finish. It was never a matter of ‘if they get back together’ more of ‘when they get back together’ u know me i can’t write angst to save my life so ofc it’s gonna be a happy ending🤣

Sooooo yea, to everyone who has read one or all of them thank you really. I might not post as much or as regular but please know each and every one of my stories are made with love and a sprinkle of me❣️ not just this series, but all of my stories.

Until the next fluff fest! -Nini🌻
