Fan fiction at its best, an appreciation post to my favorite author.

I have taken to reading fan fiction again and I regret nothing.

Last summer, fan fiction was my ultimate obsession. It was the fuel of my life, to be honest. All I could think about were the stories, the characters, the plots, and just how lovely the words that comprised everything were. I don’t know where they come up with those things.

There was a time, 3 weeks maybe, or even more than that, that all I lived for every single day was fan fiction. I woke up early in the mornings to read and stayed up until the late hours of the night to finish them. It was all I lived for. Quite depressing, in all honesty, but I felt that the people in the stories were much more interesting than the people in real life.

The fics that really left a big impact on me were Heehe’s. If you took the time to read all of her fics, you’ll feel yourself wanting more and more and more. I personally recommend Fairytale Hearts and Misfits(read my previous post about it here), those were two fics that made me cry, and not because of the sad parts, but because of how utterly beautiful and lovely and brilliant and just fucking perfect everything was. They were so absolutely flawless that I cried myself to sleep after reading them. I fell in love with her words, her characterization, the natural flow, the character development, and the way she managed to make everything work without trying too hard. She will always, always be my favorite fic author. 

I've read enough fan fiction to last a lifetime, but still, nothing has made me feel so enamored and think that love/friendship is such a beautiful thing to have as much as she did. I even made one of my friends, Joy, who has absolutely no interest in Korean pop or much less, fan fiction, read Fairytale Hearts and even she thought it was a brilliant work of art. If that doesn’t prove Heehe’s ability to move people through her words, then I don’t know what will.

And right now, I’m rereading “Walking on Rooftops”, another one of her amazing fics, for the umpteenth time yet it never gets old.

I’ll never tire of her pieces to be honest.

This post doesn't even give justice to her. I don't trust my words enough to full convey the beauty that exudes from the strings of thoughts and words that come out of her brilliant mind.
