Last two chapters are out! The Tiger King is officially DONE.
          	
          	oh my god oh my god oh my god i'm done, it's done aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
          	
          	thank you so much to all readers who came on this journey with me, it's been a long wild ride!
          	
          	Allow me to wax lyrical for a moment: for the past 5 years, TTK has been with me through all highs and lows and trials and tribulations that life throws at you. The world could be going to utter shit, but TTK was always there to lean on: there was always a chapter to write, a plot point to untangle, character interactions to figure out and play with.
          	
          	It will be weird to say goodbye and in a way sad because I've had these characters rattling around in my head for so long. 
          	But I'm thankful I managed to finish it and if you'll allow, proud of myself for doing so too. I've learned and grown a lot, both as a person and as a writer working on this story, which is probably my magnum opus (at least to date).
          	
          	Looking back, there's A LOT of things to critique in the earlier parts of the story, especially considering some questionable writing choices that seeing now makes me wince. I only had vague ideas of where the story was headed, BUT it definitely wasn't going to be this. Yet, I couldn't be happier, despite the longer time it took to write and figure out.
          	
          	Past me started this in june 2019 and I'm so thankful to her for sticking it out, even when things got hard or stalled. 
          	It's been a journey and I wonder if I'll ever experience it again (def don't want to do  that so soon, it feels like i finished a marathon haha).
          	
          	There's probably more I could say but for now, I'll just say thank you for checking out the story, for commenting, for sharing the excitement. it's been a pleasure :V
          	
          	Also, special thanks to @StanThinMints who helped untangle plot points on more than one occasion :V
          	
          	(i will try to do some housekeeping later concerning some pending stories and the future going forward but for now, enjoy)

Dropping the first three parts of the finale! the other two i will try to have them up tomorrow! but i think you'll have to plenty to read meanwhile :P
          
          We have chapter 101 (Awake) chapter 102 (Awake pt2) and chapter 103 (Separate Ways) ;V

TTK readers! Happy to announce that the end is nigh!
          
          kidding kidding but for real, the long-awaited ending of TTK is here! Done with editing, all that's left is some final checks :V
          
          There's 5 (five) chapters in total, with chapters 4 and 5 being what I consider the true ending. I'm still debating on uploading them separately from the first three, but then again, I might just upload them all together too, probably later today, we'll see.
          
          crazy to be doing this announcement when i've dreamt about it for so long XD but yeah, it will be over soon :DD

@Dreamofshadows OMG! So happy to read this! I was thinking about TTK just two days ago!

Happy New Year 2025!
          
          update for TTK: currently working on the last two scenes  of what (I think!) shall be the ending! crazy to be saying that and it's turning out tricky to write the proper ending so bear with me.
          i'll check back later in the month for another progress update or who knows, the update itself :V depends how much i write AND oh yeah the editing.
          
          cheers!

HI!
          I love your books so much and I actually really enjoy reading them!! HOWEVER, I have been long searching for this one book and I just don't remember the title so I'm basically posting this here in hopes that anyone that reads this message can recognize the book that I'm looking for. Please help me omg :
          Okay this is the basic synopsis (kinda):
          Basically all of BTS are kids except for I think Namjoon, he's their father but basically the rest of them are kids and its their life from when they are kids to adults (I think the adults part is in another book like part 2) and I think taehyung or jimin gets kidnapped as a kid and they frequent the police station, giving statements, hoping to find him and for years they do this. Then they find him and he's traumatized. Then it kinds goes into their life as highschoolers and what not. If any of y'all know this book, PLEASE LET ME KNOW (I'm actually desperate, it's such a masterpiece and a really good read!) 
          
          All of this said, I really do love your books @Dreamofshadows and I don't mean to disrespect you by posting this here, I'm doing this everywhere so that I can get noticed lol. Sorry and than you so much!

@Julieta457217 not finished yet but working on it every day! :V and yes absolutely!

this might be a long shot, but does anyone remember this Jensoo story called Ioseph? 
           (side couple chaelisa and there were other idols there, Tzuyu and Seulgi, Irene, Key and I think Wendy was some sort of turncoat??).
           it was deleted a long time ago, i forgot which jensoo account had it, but i've been trying to find the original book perhaps, unless it was another fic...
          
          explanation just in case someone knows the plot/book {Spoilers!} : it was a detective story, jisoo was a detective with super healing abilities because her dad had created some serum and gave it to her? forgot how jennie came in. lisa was a cop too, i think she got suspended?? rosie was there forgot how she came in too, but i do remember chaelisa had a good amount of their own screentime like at one point lisa saves rosie from a fire. i know tzuyu had been this badass hacker type.  seulgi and irene were comedic relief sort of. the bad guy was like an old enemy of jisoo's father i think, like a crazy scientist type guy creating an army of goons using the serum jisoo had in her and he also injected jisoo with like death serum to see who would win, his serum or jisoo's dad serum (which was called Ioseph).  it had a happy ending.
          
          not really expecting answers but i randomly remembered and tried to find the original story but no success as of yet :V

@Juepah of course! But it seems unlikely unfortunately, i even asked on reddit

Heads up TTK readers!
          
          no update this month, am still working on it every day though, real life permitting cos things got hectic this month and not sure if it will slow down for the upcoming holiday season BUT will try my best to keep chugging along :V
          
          I would have liked to finish this story by December but at this rate i don't want to make promises, so we'll see.
          
          i want to add that i might try to write/finish it all up similar to the previous update before dropping all the chapter/s.
          
          we'll see, still up in the air as i'm trying to decide how to go about it, what to write and the scenes i'll include. 
          
          stay tuned! :VV
