This Love ~ Sunwoo | The Boyz

Author Notes

There seems to always be a period of time every 6 months or so where this fic picks up steam?

I think it's an interesting phenomenon.

My style of writing has drastically changed in the 2 (?) years that have passed since I wrote this. I would love to continue writing on platforms like Wattpad and AO3 - my user: Peachette_8 -  (I write almost daily just on my phone), but I've recently been more into writing about Ateez.

Because I have a crippling crush on Yunho-

Anyway.

I think a lot of this fic is great, some of which is still indicative of my creativity todag. The main premise is interesting, I think, although I won't sit here and say that everything holds up!

(I don't think it's a masterpiece. It wouldn't be. I'm not a professional writer, and I barely read real books.)

It's a creative plot (maybe?), and I still don't really understand why it has over 8k reads. That seems incredibly excessive for something written by (well, me), although I am incredibly thankful to everyone who read and enjoyed it. I love crime-ridden, dirty plots with - slightly - morally dubious characters, and I would love to explore more of that in the future.

.

I sometimes wish I would have put more effort into my fanfictions, because most of my ideas on my phone (hundreds of short ideas, ongoing works), are completely half-baked, and I think if I had just given them a chance, I may have been able to create something that I am (in more than one way) proud of.

I'm proud of this fanfiction because of the readers who spent time reading, commenting, and interacting with it. I still get notifications from Wattpad from people binging this fanfiction. It's odd to see, honestly, because, to be quite honest, I don't really see it as something that represents me as a writer anymore.

Perhaps I've changed, I don't know. I'm going into my second year of university (UK), so I suppose I've matured from that experience.

I might co-post things on here that I post on AO3 (if I can figure out how to do that lmao), because I know not everyone wants to transition to other platforms, and I like my little (very miniscule) semi-fanbase thing, of people who just like this fic.

I would like to close by giving a huge thanks to everyone who has shown this fanfiction love. It really inspires me to keep creating, no matter how cringe and awkward it can be sometimes.

(Yes, a lot of this fic is cringe. But if you like the cringe, that doesn't bother me.)

Thank you.

If I post anything on here, it will likely be of Ateez. I apologise to those who stayed for TBZ content. I still listen to TBZ as artists - I keep up with every comeback obviously, but for some reason, I just don't feel like writing about them anymore.

Plus, I've objectively been an Atiny for longer than I have been a Deobi. (About 4-5 years).
