@bangtan_storytime
Hi Bangtan_Storytime... I just stumbled across your work "Virtuoso" and am wondering if you might have a way for us to connect directly about four familiar (to me) faces you acknowledged at the end?!? I might be an older 'noona', but I know you want to be careful what you post in this day and age. Thank you in advance for your consideration!
Well, my friends... After a long, long journey, we are finally getting to the end of Virtuoso. It's a bit bittersweet to announce that there are only three chapters left to be released.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your support through this project. Once completed, this will be the single biggest creative project I've ever done and saw through to the very end, and it is the first completed work I've ever published. Never did I imagine this story would grow to be well over 125,000 words or that it would gain anywhere near the following it has. I am immensely grateful for this experience and for each and every one of you who have supported me along the way. I hope that the finale of Virtuoso will have been worth the wait.
Borahae! Stay tuned for the final chapters coming soon.
@Lree25 thank you so much! I'm so glad that are enjoying it and that you connect with the characters. I wanted to share a story that most people will see themselves in, somewhere. It means so much to me to hear comments like this. You motivate me to keep writing, so thank you!
@bangtan_storytime I really love this book! It has so many life events that make such a huge impact on the characters lives. This kind of made me remember decisions I made when I was younger that led me to greater things. Reminds me of times in my life where the love is so great that it killed me when I lost something (and people) that were such influences on me. The smut (to be honest) reminds me of intense love between myself & my boyfriend for 5 years & now husband of 25 years -- how we would lose ourselves in each other & experience new, exciting and amazing ways to be together.
@Paintpuddle2021 a Jane and Roy prequel is planned. I have other ideas, too, but that's the first one I plan to do. I'm very touched by your comments and your dedication to the story. I hope to share more stories in the future. I've got plenty of ideas I'm excited to see come to life. I'm definitely sad to see the story end, too. I'm doing my best to make it the most fulfilling ending possible. I want the journey to be worth it for all who were onboard for the ride.

To my dedicated readers -
I just wanted to reach out and say thank you to all of you for your patience and for your loyalty. I was quite nervous about returning to this project after having taken such a long time off, and I'm immensely grateful that you have returned to continue this journey with me. The universe works in very interesting ways. This time it seems the right sequence of events has led me right back here, and I couldn't be happier.
I hope to soon deliver the completed work that I've always promised, that I do the characters justice, and that it was worth waiting for.
@Lree25 I am so touched! Thank you!!! It's hard for me to believe anyone would read anything I write, let alone more than once. This is THE only thing I've ever published in my life, so this experience is surreal to say the least. Thank you, so much, for your continued interest and following of my story.
@Paintpuddle2021 thank you so much! Your loyalty and dedicated following mean so much to me. Thank you for your support, friend.
@bangtan_storytime I am so happy to see this message, there are a lot of authors that I read yet only a handful that I go back to read again and again and again. You are one of them.
thanks Jessica for giving us the link I joined today with screen name Silver Grani gotta get my virtuoso fix Just an FYI it took me a couple of months to get the hang of Weverse — and it looks like Discord May take me a bit also I’m going over the tutorials but I’ve always found that just poking around does me the best. See ya there
VIRTUOSO ANNOUNCEMENT:
Virtuoso is in a weird spot right now because I've been in a weird spot myself, and I've been trying to get my bearings and get focused so I can finish this story in the way I want to.
I've been working on my writing, trying to learn and improve while working with some other writers on collaborations. In this process, a good friend and fan of Virtuoso, offered to work on some creative writing exercises with me in the form of roleplay writing, so that I can possibly use this content for the book. I wanted to invite you all to join us, if you'd like to follow along.
We have a BTS discord server set up for general BTS content, adult and general discussion, kpop general, fanfiction, karaoke, among other things.
On that server, THREE writers, including myself, are CURRENTLY playing through some smutty VIRTUOSO scenes using the characters from the book. If you'd like to read along, join BTS+:
https://discord.gg/RdtCfVTAx6
BTS+ has over 40 members so far and is a growing community of BTS and Kpop fans, with organized chat rooms in a wide range of categories. Check it out!
@bangtan_storytime sounds like a blast! I haven't used Discord since I left World of Warcraft but I'll try to check your server out
Sweetie, just checking in to make sure that you are okay. You’ve been through quite a lot lately so it’s understandable that you need time to process everything. I just want you to know that we love you and support you. Heal yourself and then please come back to us with joy.
Thank you all for your beautiful and deeply emotional feedback on the most recent chapter. You know the one.
It was, as you can probably imagine, quite difficult to work on, and it did take me awhile to release it because I wanted to make sure it was exactly the way I wanted it to be.
Life hasn't been simple or forgiving lately. I had surgery last week - nothing major but I'm definitely still recovering. We had a lovely family vacation, which was nice. We were able to get away for several days and enjoy touring historic sites and took the kids to an amusement park.
Sometimes the universe likes to throw in some chaos. Unfortunately, when we returned from our trip, we were forced to make the difficult decision to put our sweet 12yo pit bull down. My husband buried him on top of the mountain yesterday, where his favorite hiking trail was. My husband and I fell in love though music and rock climbing. Both of our dogs would go everywhere with us. My 4lb chihuahua and his 95lb beefy, toned pit were hiking buddies for years. It was definitely a hard day for us.
I miss all of you very much and am beyond grateful for your patience and support. I feel immensely guilty for not publishing at the frequency I was. Please know if I could keep that schedule right now, I would.
I hope you're all doing well. Borahae my friends.
@Paintpuddle2021 @lree25 Thank you, both of you. I really appreciate your kind words. I'm nearing the point where I can finally post another chapter, so hopefully I'll have an update for you soon.
@bangtan_storytime Awwww sweetie I feel for you at this time. You’ve been through so much lately and yet you still managed to thrill us with chapter after thrilling chapter. If I could I’d wrap you up in my arms and hug the pain away, but a virtual hug will have to do. Surround yourself with your family and closest friends at this time to gain strength and comfort. You will endure for you are strong. And when you’re ready, we will celebrate your return to us your readers. IM me if you need to talk my ears are always available.
@bangtan_storytime aw my sweet friend *hugs and love* for the loss of your baby, I'm thankful he's buried where he loved to go, I always think that important. I recently went thru knee replacement surgery (a week ago) and am very slowly recovering from that. My love goes out to you & your family. Times of loss, grief and healing are always really difficult but you are surrounded by those who love you and cherish you. May them all give you strength.
To my lovely, loyal readers -- I wanted to apologize for my inactivity the past few weeks. First sunny day, I had a major ankle injury in my yard, making it nearly impossible to sit at the computer for long periods of time. And then, just life, kids, holidays, travel... Life took over. I'm hoping to catch up significantly this week. I miss you all and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this story unfold, just as you are. Look forward to talking to you all soon.
@bangtan_storytime I was just about to IM you to see if you were alright. Hurry back to us soon.
@bangtan_storytime hugs and wishes for recovery! I broke my ankle day after 49th bday and it was a rough summer. Happy to see you again! ♡
