Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.
If you don’t feel like reading after the read more, here is the most important stand out of Kindle World’s TOS.
“By using the platform, authors give all rights to the work to Amazon, who can then license your elements to other authors with no compensation to the original poster.”
If you want to retain rights to your work, don’t use this site. Stick to AO3.
It has been a little over two years since I said my gratitude towards to not only writers, editors, and artists, but awesome human beings. You have been working hard to just make us happy; creating cool edits, making us laugh with your comics, gasping how good your art is, completing every possible request or even giving us the translation giving us a better understanding. You deserve a round of applause.
I know there’s had been some of you getting hurtful words from people and I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you had to experience it and I hope that one small percentage doesn’t make you feel bad about yourselves. They should know where to put the line, boundaries. Please know that there are good people that cares for you. True fans or followers knows that everybody needs time off of tumblr. Especially your health is important to all. I want to end this with the meme ‘You are doing great, sweetie.’ But in reality and laughs aside, you are doing really great. Thank you. ❤️
“What- OH MY GOD! Kim
Taehyung? What the hell are you doing?” You quickly covered your eyes after experiencing
the ‘horror’ that was a half-naked Taehyung laying on his side on your bed. “And
why in the world are you naked!” A deep chuckle left his throat as he sat up straight.
Guyssss ㅠㅠ I’m sorry for the lack of updates on dreamer and I promise, the au is NOT discontinued or on hiatus. Actually I’m thinking about it daily and my mind is fully on the fic, but when I start writing NOTHING come out!!! I scrap things left and right, sometimes a sentence, sometimes a paragraph and now I’m actually thinking about scrapping whole chapter 2 because it sucks, or well, my writing sucks.
I really don’t know what it is because I always loved writing, but I haven’t written fics like this in a while and I honestly became such a trashy writer. SEND HELP!! I feel so bad because I’m not posting anything and I don’t know if people actually care but I feel bad for letting people wait.I don’t want to scrap this story since I have a plot, but I can’t seem to write it down. AAHH call me the worst content creator ever! Why is writing so hard???!!!
So I didn’t expect to be tagged in anything really, but I was!! I was tagged by @worldwidebt7 so thank you so much! I do have a bias (or two) but I really liked how @worldwidebt7 did the tag so I might do all of the members (of BTS) for some questions. ALSO go check out her blog because she’s writing the most adorable webtoon in the world called “Crinkle” and I’m in love with it.
Also I don’t really have anyone to tag, so everyone who’s reading this go ahead and do this tag and tag me back if you want! I’d love to read your tags too.
Who is your bias?
Jung Hoseok and Min Yoongi (slight “preference” to hyung line, but too scared to admit it)
HS: I always love him and his dance, but it all happened after the Love Yourself concert in Amsterdam where I cried when he performed Just Dance and I missed pretty much half of the performance. He’s so beautiful and talented and after the concert I began noticing how much I loved him, because whenever I saw a picture of him I stared at it for a while and during the concert my eyes were always on him.
YG: I’ve loved him since I don’t even remember. It was early on when he still had his “hard” image. I don’t know why, but he always intrigued me. Just his rap, his talent. I don’t know why but he just became my bias one day.
What is your favourite thing about them?
HS: His dancing, singing and rapping skills. He’s so beautiful and kind. His kindness is the most beautiful part though. He always puts the other members before him and does anything they need in a heartbeat. He’s just such a sweet person I love him-
YG: BIG ASS SOFTIE! I love it when he’s soft and I don’t mean smiley, ”gyaahh”, bubbly and loud soft (even though that’s adorable too), but his soft looks at the other members, silent smiles and nods of approval. You can see it in his eyes, the care and love he has for BTS. He has me soft.
EXTRA: Taehyung’s smile. Joon in glasses (god I ca-), Jin being a multitalented beautiful prince, Jimin’s sleepy voice and him during pre-debut and early debut, Jungkook duality (BOI I don’t know how to feel about you, cute ass hottie)
Who would initiate skinship more?
ME: Jungkook (shy bub), probs Yoongi too cuz he would probably not want to rush or something??
HIM: all the others, because I would make it pretty clear that I don’t mind it
Who would hog the blankets?
ME: I don’t really think I hog blankets anymore? I did it a lot when I was younger, but I’m pretty good now, definitely if sleeping beside someone. And if I’d cuddle with the person I don’t think hogging blankets is possible??
HIM: Tae, Kook and Yoongi. I don’t just think it’s bc of how weirdly they sleep, but I don’t see it being such an issue. And Tae seems like a cuddler so only if he isn’t cuddling.
Who would be more clingy?
ME: I don’t see myself being super clingy, but at the start of the relationship after the “awkward” fase I might. Later on though, when I’m comfortable I don’t see myself being clingy. BUT, Jin (bc he’s so lovable and I don’t think I can resist the urge to be near him) and maybe Jungkook.
HIM: Taehyung
Neither: With Yoongi and Namjoon it probably be a mutual thing of some small touches here and there and more when we are alone. With Jimin and Hobi it could go either way, either both super clingy to each other or both more on the chill side but more than with Namgi.
Who would say “I love you” first?
ME: I don’t say this easily to someone, even though I rather have a pretty affectionate relationship I don’t say “I love you” quickly. Might have been from learning it the hard way but yeah.
HIM: All the members, beside if I REALLY feel it or I see like they are conflicted or not sure, but seem like they love me back.
Who would be more easily flustered?
ME: Jin, Tae, Jungkook and Yoongi
HIM: Hobi, Joon and Jimin ( and it would probably be by something he said when trying or not trying to get me flustered)
Which colour(s) remind you of them?
HS: Yellow, blue and white. So firstly I see the first two colours together bc Hoseok kind of seems like the sun above the ocean. It really fits him. He’s so bright and colourful. Those two colours seem so simple and even though Hoseok isn’t simple at all, he has so much to him, I feel like you don’t have to look to deep into him to start loving him. The same goes for white. He’s so pure and kind (and looks amazing in all white), he fits in everywhere or more like he makes himself fit in bc he’s so considerate.
YG: Dark purple, I feel like that colour connects with passion. He’s super hard working and so passionate about his music. I also think of the sunset and how relaxing but intense it feels. It’s weird and hard to describe why I feel that, but I when I see Yoongi I see a relaxed and chill exterior, but such intensity and passion in his eyes. So that’s why I say purple.
What kind of cuddling position would you two have?
HS: He on his back and I on his shoulder with my hand in his hair caressing it so he sleeps better.
YG: He in whatever position he falls asleep in and I cuddled up to him, preferably cuddling up to him with my head on his chest. And the other way around. I fall asleep in whatever position that’s comfortable and he cuddles up to me. I don’t think we’d go to bed at the same times, because we both love to sleep and will whenever we want without needing the other to join. But on the rare occasion that we do go to bed together I think it still be me cuddled up into his chest with his hands around my chest and caressing either my side or head. OR if we really don’t feel like it we just sleep on our own sides of the bed.
What season would you like to spend with them?
Spring: Jungkook
Summer: Jin, Taehyung and Hoseok
Fall: Jimin and Joon.
Winter: Yoongi
Who would bake the cookies and who would steal the batter?
Bake the cookies: Jin, Jimin and Hoseok
Steal the batter: Jungkook and Tae (ALL THE TIME), Joon (like maybe once)
Yoongi probably wouldn’t care or notice if I was baking cookies.

“-and 3 chocolate
muffins.” The oldest beamed.
A few days had passed
and Hoseok finally started to come out of his house. The 7 boys were heading to
their practise, but Jin insisted on stopping by his favourite bakery.
“Hyung! You know the double
chocolate are better!” Namjoon whined. He reached out to grab his muffin, a
pout visible on his lips, as the oldest turned away from him holding onto the
bag with the 3 chocolate muffins. He reach into the bag and handed one of the
muffins to Yoongi. “Ya! What about me?” Namjoon asked confused and slightly irritated.
“If you want double chocolate go and buy one yourself, these two are mine.” The
3 youngest couldn’t help but laugh at their oldest hyung’s childish behaviour.
“Are you kidding me?”
Hoseok already stood
outside the bakery holding the door open and waiting on the others, letting strangers
in in the meantime. He rolled his eyes at the others little argument, but
stopped when something, well someone, caught his eye.
Never had he seen
someone like that. Mysterious and intriguing. Of course no one could top the
girl he was still mourning over. But something about this someone caught his
attention. Why was he feeling this way? What was so special about this g-
“Finally! Can we hurry
up now! We have practise in 5 minutes!” Jungkook yelled to the rest. “Hoseok?
You okay?” Yoongi asked when he noticed how distant the boy looked. Hoseok
shook his head a few times and looked up at his hyung trying his best to show a
smile. “Yes! Yes. I’m fine. Let’s go!” Hoseok yelled taking the lead and
walking next to a hasty maknae.
This was my second time posting this since it had a link first but Tumblr wasn’t showing it in the tags. Now I removed it and reposted and it’s finally showing!!

“Please stay here today.”
Two pair of thin arms
snaked around Hoseok’s waist and he felt a head softly rest against the nape of
his neck as he sat on the edge of the bed. Although the room was very sterile,
the bedsheets and walls a cold white, a big window and skylight letting in the
sun light and other then the bed only a fluffy white rug filling the big open
room, the presence of a young loving couple warmed the room.
Hoseok let out a soft
chuckle. “I have to go to practise today sweetheart.” A whine escaped her lips
making him smile. “Just skip today, just this once, can’t you?” Desperation and
tiredness dripped from her lips and caused Hoseok to frown. “I can’t baby, we
have the concerts coming up soon. I promise to come home as fast as possible
though.” By now he felt the back of his shirt getting wet.
He had no idea why she
wanted him to stay so bad. The thought of telling him made her even more sad.
She couldn’t, she just couldn’t break his heart like that.
Hoseok took her hands
in his before unwrapping them from his waist and standing up to face her. She
looked tired, exhausted even and it killed him to see her look this fragile.
“What’s wrong?” He couldn’t help but be worried. She shook her head and
chuckled wiping the tears from her drooping eyes. “It’s nothing Hobi, I just
wanted to spend this day with you.” His face lit up again. “Me too, but I
can’t. But I promised you, to come back as early as I can. Didn’t I?” She
nodded. “See! Now I’m going to get ready super-fast so I have at least 2 more
minutes to cuddle with you and cover you with kisses before I need to leave.”
His sweet and dorky
side never failed to make her smile, the smile that Hoseok fell in love with.
He did as he promised and took the girl that was wearing one of his old
oversized dress shirts in his arms. He loved seeing her in his clothes and
waking up to see her like that was like a dream come true every single morning.
She always was there and she always would be.
But things didn’t
really go as planned. Practise became stressful, hurtful words were thrown, a
lot of disappointment, not towards others but mostly to themselves when they
couldn’t get something right. And that’s why Hoseok didn’t notice how late it
became. And late became early, because now it was 8 in the morning, the sun was
up and he was only now entering the house.
