[Moonsun] Motherhood

Final word

I think I'm just gonna make a bulleted list hehe lol

- At first I meant to write this as a series of stories that were connected to the other. I think you can easily notice it during the first 10 chapters, they don't really have a connection except for the fact that they are one pregnant month apart. But then I got caught away and here we are~

- I did write before, and I only wrote oneshots. This is my first multi-chapter one, and to be honest I didn't think I have done well haha

- I asked the author Hwabyul on Asianfanfics regarding my taking some details (because I really don't know how to describe some minor details) and she told me not to credit her, that's why I deleted a line in the foreword.

- Throughout the process of writing and uploading chapters, I'm aware I made a lot of mistakes.

+ I didn't really highlight the dynamic of our main character. I still think it's too romantic for an aromantic couple but not romantic enough for... a romantic relationship.

+ The dialogue is a bit too much and some lines are just not making any sense and sound weird. I would like to give an explanation. I am not an English native, and my first drafts aren't in English but in my native tongue. You get it, most of the chapters here are translated back and forth. I tried to apply all my knowledge of English that I could think of into the story so as to make it as natural as possible, but sometimes I just couldn't.

+ There's little emotion in the story. I acknowledge this. I have stuck to the fact and truth so much I forgot I'm the storyteller sometimes and therefore the dialogue and situtation seem odd at numerous times.

A particular comment pointed it out for me during the scene of announcing the stillbirth news to Moonsun though, and I understand their point. The problem is, that's life. What we often see is straight couples getting the news and the husband will usually be the emotional supporter as he's deemed as stronger and stuff. The difference in this is that Moonsun are 2 women, and their reaction to grief will be more intense to what we often observe in men. But, the process is still the same. Everything cannot stop at just getting the news. Chaeyoung, as a doctor, must instruct the couple on the procedure of removing the baby, burying it and then dealing with grief. Yongsun, as the partner, will often (and it's also the case in the story) be trusted to guide her heartbroken partner through the process and be rational for both of them.

That's what I'm trying to practice writing. I can't just skip timelines and ignore what had happened during the process of grief and how they coped and stood up after that. In fact, this miscarriage scene has been in my mind long ago and it's my wish to be able to write it some day. And... I guess I did.

For the mistakes I made above, I'm sorry you couldn't enjoy to the fullest of what this theme and plot could have offered. I will continue practicing to improve my skills and will edit or even rewrite this when I'm in the mood and have time and strength to do so.

- I never thought I have to write this but of course I love Moonsun, so much most of my stories so far is about them. They are my inspiration to create this story. Just because I put them into an angsty situation doesn't mean I hate them. At all.

The above part is the note I wrote when I had to abruptly stop this story for a while. I'm just really glad I pushed it through to the end and gave the characters of Moonsun an ending that they deserve: hope and happiness together.

Thanks for having supported me throughout the story, I really couldn't have been going forward without your encouragement. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this despite my lack of writing skills, and I can't promise returning with a new story because I currently don't have any idea and am busy af but let's see lol

Please continue supporting Mamamoo in the future!
