I see you're getting closer nocti ! (:
And you'll be fine Shokt! XD

As for me, I'm kinda concerned that I'm going to be knocked off the top 10 since I seem to be consistent in vote gains everyday. Like number 9 has 1.5K AB votes, one chapter, 12 PS votes, and is one day old............... not sure how to feel about this. I hate being suspicious, but yeah to be honest I'm....suspicious. I hate feeling like this :disappointed: but......it's like another slap in my face after writing nearly two dozen chapters for three weeks.

Since it's not like I was that keen on writing fanfic---I forced myself for BTS---if I drop out, I seriously feel like stopping writing the story. On the other hand, I would feel bad for the readers I've gained whose warm comments make my day.

    Chryiss The same for me, suspicions keep bubbling out and i kept trying to pop it off of my mind and thank you chryiss, i really do hope that all of us will do fine till the end of the competition

      Chryiss Yeah, there's a few novels on the top 10 which makes me just the tiiiny bit suspicious. Here's to hoping that more votes start coming towards the good novels.

        I felt the same, at the start. I don't like writing fanfiction about real people(I like to give people their due respect and writing about them is a little ehhh...esp with some of the smutty fics.)
        But for the tickets, I started writing this fanfic. however, i did refuse to add in any ships, because it feels very uncomfortable to me to write about someone who's real falling in love, i believe that in the future, whoever they fall in love with should be left to them. let them have that privacy.
        Hence why my novel plays more on BTS's theme and bond as a family.

          noctiferu Yeah, I don’t like shipping either even though I like bromance. That’s okay because I see no reason why girls can be super close but guys can’t. I was concerned there would be a lot of shipping fanfics, but thankfully they were rare. I’m glad most tried focusing on the boys instead with an added character if there’s any sort of romance going on.

            Hi! This is an original novel that was written by a new author for the BTS contest and I just wanted to try to get as many people to notice it because it is such an amazing story! It's the author's first ever novel and they are putting in so much effort to make it an incredible story so please give it love and support, I really want the author to see how much love they're getting for their touching work 🙇 thank you so much and please spread the word. FIGHTING! ❤

              I've been losing a lot of motivation recently. Stuff happens. Drama happens. I wish it didn't end this way, but I will be the mature one and quietly bid everyone good luck without all the fighting.

                noctiferu Hang in there noctiferu! There are lot of peoples who loves your writing, i have no idea on what happened cause i was busy with exams, but know that we are here supporting you!

                    ShoktMeNoSleep Thank you! Luckily, the drama was deffused and we were all at fault. There was hate comments everywhere, it was a mess. I'm very happy that everything's cleared up now though. I really didn't want to let go of a friendship if I didn't feel like I had to.

                    I'd suggest not asking about the drama. It's long and messy, but it was solved in the end and that's what everyone needs to know.

                    Now onto today's thing: I learned that the internet is one where you really have to watch your words, and be mindful of the people around you. Learn to empathize with others, and learn to calm down and analyse a situation before replying.

                    And that no matter what, drama is never worth it.

                    I cannot begin to say how glad I am that this is over.

                        Ahh I haven't updated this in so long! Been too busy with revision, writing, and even more tests. Why do teachers gotta give so many assignments before exams start? excuse me i am dyING here

                        Oh yes, before I forget:
                        @Veronica8 Thank you for your sweet words. I couldn't reply through the comment section, but know that I truly appreciated your words.

                        @Chryiss !!! I'm so honoured to have a review from you AND COMMENTS IM SO BLESSED. Thank you for your words too. It's best for me to mind my own business.

                        psst. i want more chapters

                        I have a sin to confess, i dunno where to put it so I'll just place it here cause its more comfortable.

                        I've been spitting out story after story to catch up with the army bombs ranking (i feel so guilty and bad) with unknown intention on wether ill be continuing them or not.

                        I reallllyyy feel so bbaddd the feeling of im near the rankings and just a tiny bit more if i put effort and i might make it up on the top three got me, buuuuuttt then i realizeddd that im no different from person placing random stories, ramblings and shenanigans at the contest if im not serious with my work.

                        Now im lostt cause ive created random stories and cant keep up writing them....

                        What should this person, who got blinded by greed do? 😢

                          ShoktMeNoSleep It’s okay. It happens to the best of us. To be fair, not that many people continue writing after a contest is over, and even during a contest, not everyone updates that much. At least you’re aware and trying. It’s better than writing a little just to enter and not ever really updating like I see *cough several stories doing. Don’t worry and write what you can. Certainly my story isn’t my best writing, it’s purposefully so too. But it seems my poorer writing (on a use of language/vocabulary standpoint) are more popular than my one serious piece. So in short, we’re all guilty of it, and we can only try our best for the readers.

                              Alrighty, we have about a day and a half before this ends. Best of luck to everyone participating!

                              My hands are dying from typing up the mass release chapters. I bet everyone is gonna to stab me after I release them.

                              I love angst.

                              As I said, these eight chapters will allow everyone to go through the cliffhangers i like to leave safely. Hehe.

                              please don't stab me

                                ShoktMeNoSleep Really? I see you as working hard to show tribute to BTS in a way you're most passionate. I applaud you for spending time to provide readers a story during the competition.

                                Fan fic is not easy, to be able to write on a strict deadline, there's bound to be moments of where the energy is low. Or you start to doubt on your motivation. It's a normal part of the process with competition writing.

                                Do your best, keep having fun.
