Hello _UnofficialWeirdo_,
I suppose I don’t quite know where to begin, either. But the beginning tends to usually be what’s best, so I will start there. Firstly, I want to thank you for taking the time to comment on my message board. Yes, I did read your previous messages on ‘613’ and ‘CRYSTAL SNOW,’ and I was truly moved. I apologize; I am just now responding.
In regard to commenting, please don’t ever regret what you say in your ‘rants’ at 3 AM. Sometimes, those are the best ones! I do it, too, on stories I read from other authors. It’s your honest feelings about the chapter or story at that moment, so share it.
Now on ‘CRYSTAL SNOW’, oh jeez…my stories have always been surrounded by dark themes, I suppose I should blame that on my love for true crime stories. But there was always an air of creepy romance to my stories as a scapegoat, so to speak, to justify why my characters did what they did, or something would come out of it happy somewhere somehow. Hearing about your addiction to fictional stories hit home with me, as I can have an obsessive personality. I will fixate on something for years, ie, BTS. Haha. But I had always told myself that if my twisted stories could be enjoyed or touched by just at least one person, then that would be enough of a reason for me to keep writing. I do write for myself, too, as I see it as very therapeutic and a side of self-expression in art form. Hearing that you could relate to Jungkook from ‘CRYSTAL SNOW’ in some way and that it made you think about some things in your life struck a chord with me. You see the struggle in this Jungkook that you can translate for yourself. (1)
