Wahhh, I am so late to seeing this comment, but thank you so much! I did not know anything about Fic Clique's exchange, so I am really (pleasantly) shocked to learn my fic appeared three times, really so honored. Thank you for telling me because I never would've known otherwise. I don't know if you've had time to read it yet, but I hope you enjoy it. <3
(I am also surprised by how warmly the fandom has embraced that fic because I honestly expected it to be controversial, in particular because of the chapter focused on the aftermath Jonghyun's passing. Fans are still understandably sensitive about the topic and defensive against anyone who is trying to pry into/exploit the member's private lives/feelings surrounding that topic, so I worried people would feel the story was in poor taste. On the contrary, I think a lot of folks were ready and needing some sort of outlet to explore the topic because the comments I got after that chapter went up were really heartfelt and touched me a lot.)
I'm glad to know someone else is also interested in that kind of trans fic! As I said, I did consider pairing Jongho with someone, but I didn't want to detract from what I truly wanted to focus on, and also I don't personally think he is shippable with any of the other members. There is a very light shipping subplot with Seonghwa and Hongjoong occurring the background of the story, but it is ignorable if you're not into that. Please do check it out if you're interested! It will be ending soon (hopefully...I'm aiming to get the last chapter out by the end of this month, but it might take longer than that and it may end up being not the last chapter lol.)
I do sometimes wonder why I am making the effort to write more if I'm not going to get paid for my time, but writing fics has been part of my life for much longer than my career. I don't see myself stopping at any point. I hope I am still writing fic at 100, if I live that long.
