Me: Okay! Gonna Work On My Story Tonight!

Me: okay! Gonna work on my story tonight!

Also me: *reads through the entirety of what I’ve written so far and makes more small edits instead of actually continuing the dang thing*

AAAAAAAAA ON:E IS FINALLY COMING TO DVD *AND* ONLINE ONLY VERSION. AAAAAAAAAAA

I finally finished the rough draft of my story….just need to do some editing, then I’ll be ready to post 👀👀👀

I can’t believe I haven’t reblogged/recommended this brilliant story on here yet - I literally scrolled through my entire tumblr page trying to find my post about it…only to realize I had literally sent it to all of my discord friends but somehow forgot about this site 😅😅 Whoops!

But my god, what Shanna does so well is world building and believability of her characters. I relate so hard to OC’s feelings of being the “family disappointment” and just falling so hard from what should have been a fairy tale come true because, well…that’s me. I moved away from my family to a big city to follow my dreams of working in theatre (backstage costuming/costume design, not performing). And yet 7 years later I’m still bombarded with job rejection emails, haven’t had a theatre gig since 2016, still working the “part time” retail job that was only supposed to tide me over between shows, desperately trying to be someone my family can be proud of. So reading this story, with those very real feelings she has, really hit home for me.

And it was very real how Hoseok and OC fell out of their friendship. And how communication is key, y’all! It’s very easy for a writer to be like “oh, my protagonist is always right! The other person is wrong! They must apologize!” It’s harder for a writer to have their lead, the voice of their story, realize that he or she was actually wrong, to have to re-evaluate their choices. And that’s what makes this story so special - OC being so blinded by her dreams, her seemingly perfect relationship in her new life that she pushed away anything and anyone that would shatter that belief. I loved seeing them develop their friendship again and then their underlying feelings of MORE. Also loved the deep friendship shown through their entire friend group - it makes me wish I had a group of friends to have a cookie baking contest with for the holidays!

Also goddamn the smut was just top notch. Damn. 🥵

So yeah…long story short, this is a wonderful story about how life can be messy and not what you always dreamed of, but it’s worth it to find the little things that make it worthwhile

Summary:   At this time last year, you thought you had it all. A kick-ass screenwriting job for the hottest TV show in LA, an actor boyfriend whose career was taking off and an affordable apartment with not one, but two bathrooms. Fast-forward to now and you’re single, soon-to-be jobless and searching for a way to scrape together January rent. Everything seems to be falling apart, which was why you told your family you weren’t coming home for the holidays. Enter your little sister, Sara, who recently became engaged to her boyfriend, Yoongi and needs you home to celebrate. The biggest problem? Returning home means you’ll be forced to face everything and everyone you left behind, including Yoongi’s best man – and your ex-best friend, Hoseok.
