I love your writing! I have been binge-reading everything you wrote these last couple of weeks and have enjoyed everything so far so much ! Do you plan on continuing “Sugar” ?
Could you maybe tell a little bit more about yourself (if you haven’t already)? Nothing too personal offcourse. When did you become an MJ - fan ? Have you studied writing in some way ? Do you read fanfics and which are your favorites ?
Can’t wait for further updates and new stories !

Thank you so much for your reply, it’s always nice to get to know the writer behind the words a bit better!
I’m an 80’s baby (just turned a very young 41 🙈) so I kind of grew up on the later MJ records (History, BOTDF, Invincible), but about a year ago I did a bit of a deep dive into the older stuff, short films, interviews, documentaries etc. which made me appreciate the “culture innovator and phenomenon” he was a lot more. Being from Belgium, I off course knew some of the “lore” but a lot passed us by here.
I am an avid reader but am quite new to the whole fanfiction world, but have been needing an easy escape from live recently which is why I started reading this type of content, and I have fallen in love ! I’ve read a lot of not so well written stuff i’m afraid though, your writing does truly stand out! I have been enjoying “off the record” by billiejeanrcomingof (also written really well) and “she’s bad” by justsmntha (great premise) but she hasn’t uploaded in a while unfortunately.
Where can I find the other fandoms-fanfics you wrote (also grew up with and am still a big harry potter fan)?

@ValrieVerbeke Hello!! What a sweet message to receive ❤️ Yes, I definitely will continue writing Sugar, in fact I have already outlined most of the plot and scenes, but since it's a bit of a bigger project, I always find myself going for the smaller, lighter stuff first rather than continue it. But I will 100% continue writing it very soon! ❤️ My name is Lila, I live in the US but I was born in Germany. My mother is German, my father is half Turkish half Korean. German is my mother tongue, but I also grew up learning Turkish, so I can speak both languages fluently. I don't know that much Korean, we don't have much connection to the Korean side of my father's family haha, but I know a few words We moved to the US because of my father's job when I was very little. I'm a bit older (above 30), I worked a few years as a Junior Editor at a publishing firm many years ago, but then I switched to IT and have been working in IT as a Project Manager for years now. But because I worked as an Editor back then, I read so many books every day and of course I also read a lot of fanfictions from many different fandoms I love (Harry Potter, some Animes like AOT, Haikyuu etc, also some TV shows, most recently Heated Rivalry haha). I've always loved reading fanfics and I wrote many fanfics myself for those fandoms as well! I've been a fan of MJ for all my life because both my mother and father have always been crazy big fans, and I had read a lot of fanfics of him way before the movie came out, however I only recently started writing fanfics for the MJ fandom, so I can say I'm an old fanfic writer, but pretty "new" in writing for MJ, but I've been enjoying it so so much! How about you? When did you become an MJ fan? And what are your favorite MJ fics? I could use some recommendations to read this week as it will be a busy week at work and I'll need something to wind down before bed
