I'm Not Trying To Be Offensive, This Is A Genuine Question

i'm not trying to be offensive, this is a genuine question

why did you publish 'otte' if you're not going to be writing a second part? i get that it might be damaging to your mental health and it's personal, but then, why publish something that messes w you emotionally at all? and if you're not trying to 'actively be in diz's headspace' at all? i'm not asking you to revisit trauma or anything, but i'm sure you'd know that quite a lot of readers do like the story and would want a second part, right?

it's a genuine question, because there's no way that the possibility of people wanting a second part didn't cross your mind at all lmao

no offense taken, but this ask did irk me a little bit, so lets chat.

i personally enjoy stories that rip my heart out a little and leave me reeling. it ended in the way that it did because that's how i wanted it to end. i enjoy ambiguity and unresolved endings in stories.

one of my favourite books ends in such a way I couldn't even watch the final episode of the tv adaptation until a few years later because it upset me so much - and it's still my favourite book.

people are fickle, myself included. just because I was comfortable writing and publishing something 9 months ago doesn't mean I am now. if you were to know me irl, you'd know my situation has changed a lot since I wrote and published otte, especially in regards to the subject matter.

you could ask 'why don't you delete it?' and the answer would be that I can ignore the presence of otte in my notes (of which it rarely is these days), but I wouldn't be able to ignore repeated asks about it in my inbox. I've been doing this for long enough now to know how it plays out when I delete my work. it's easier for everyone to just let it linger.

i knew people wouldn't be happy with the way it ended, but if you want a cookie-cutter happy ending, there are plenty of stories that do exactly that. I've got a bunch myself.

are you saying no writers should ever write anything that deviates from your preferences? that all stories have to end in the way you'd like them to? 'cause the fic-sphere would be a boring place if we all wrote the same things, with the same outcome to satisfy the same needs.

and no offense to you either, but no writer owes you a part two of anything, let alone something written on their own time, even if you do enjoy it.

reader expectations don't really cross my mind for one shots so no i didn't think about it in the same way i do with ongoing fics. lmao.

okey I'm gonna need some details on bd #44!!!!! need to know what happened between Jimin and Nabi (I mean i know *what* happened but I need to know how they end up like that???? the flames are still burning????) !!!! 👏🏻 need 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 tea 👏🏻!!!!!!!!

Do you have a literature degree? Your prose is so pretty and perfect

nope - journalism & media!! focus was in broadcast journalism as opposed to written articles, but my passion + final project was always magazine journalism!!

i loved english lit in school tho

and thank u so much <33

i know you mentioned not being offended, but you seemed pretty offended by the end of it 😂

my question was answered in the first few paras where you mentioned your real life doesn't resonate w what the plot of the book is, so i'm glad my question was answered

as for the rest of it, oof

like i don't remember saying that you shouldn't write something that deviates from my preferences, nor did i say i want the two in otte to have a happy ending and live happily ever after, my question was simply why write something that puts you through emotional hurt bc you know that would make it difficult for you to complete when people could potentially end up wanting more, which again, was answered, idk where you got the 'cookie cutter' ending idea from, because again, i never said anything about that, also bc otte doesn't even have an ending to begin with lmao

i never asked you to not write a fic that doesn't fit my standards nor was it an attempt at that bc i'm an avid reader of angst and would love an angsty ending if there's going to be one at all, all i was wondering about a complete book

half of your reply wasn't even what i was looking for?? it was simply unprovoked and hurt me a little because i try to put forth my question as respectfully as possible nor would i encourage you to stop writing bc i like your fics, i could expect a lil niceness too right? or does that irk you too 😂😭??

the hashtags apart from the first few paras were rude for no reason, especially when i made it clear i wasn't tting to be offensive and it never was my intention

thanks for answering i guess

also, another question, is there a posting schedule for the 'slut war' book? or would it be like bd?

i was annoyed, not offended!! and i've also slept on it so am a lot more chill about it now. you caught me at a bad time and that's on me, so I'm sorry for being a bit defensive with it all. if i'd have waited until this morning to answer it then yeah, you probably would have gotten a different answer.

that being said, tonally, your ask came across a bit rude to me--it questioned my motives in a way that I didn't really get, and made me feel like i was a bit stupid for publishing in the first place. it might just be your typical way of typing, but it's the kinda way i type when I'm fighting with someone lol, so it had my back up!! especially that final little lmao!!

you've also gotta bear in mind that I don't really have much of a presence on tumblr and that the otte was published 9 months ago, when my presence was even smaller. i really didn't/dont have reader expectations. it felt like you were calling me ingenuine and that's a shitty thing to be made to feel like!! especially when I've always been very open/honest with you guys about things!!

the story to me is done. it was never intended to be a fic!! or to have a resolution!! that's what I meant by people wanting a cookie cutter ending--you wanted something different to what was written. the ending is the ending.

i think i always strive to be kind, and I definitely wasn't trying to be unkind--but I'm also not a doormat and I do have feelings too, so even if you didn't intend for it to come across rudely, it kinda did and I responded accordingly.

the last thing i want is to leave a bitter taste in peoples mouths, though, so hopefully we can chalk this up to a misunderstanding/bad timing/me being a little reactive.

as for slut war--yes, it will be like bd!! I'm trying to commit to having the first 5 or 6 chapters ready for upload by the time bd is done so that we can have a steady couple of weeks of updates as we get into the story. it'll be shorter--a little over standard novel length, probably around 140k!

what song describes the BD couple better? friends or yes or no????

why choose when you can simply have both <33

Hey, Holly 🫶
