Every day I’m contemplating deleting all my KPop fics because of multiple of the reasons mentioned above. However, there are some I’d like to rewrite for my other (now main) blog; @inkwolvesandcoffee. Hmm, I’ll think about it a wee bit more…
There’s a good chance I’ll end up deleting it all in the end, though. 🤷🏻‍♀️
why would an author delete their fic?
If you're primarily a reader in fandom and haven't done much or any writing, this might be a question you have asked before. When you love stories, it can be difficult to imagine why someone would ever want to delete one - especially one that's a favourite of yours.
I'm going to start a list below, and I invite other authors to share any reasons I might not think of off the top of my head.
1. general embarrassment - this could be related to the author's writing competency then versus now, the tropes they had chosen and no longer like, the author's current feelings about a former fandom, or a dozen other things.
2. harassment - if an author is experiencing harassment, deleting their story is one way to avoid it. This may also happen if an author sees other authors receiving harassment and abuse and they want to avoid experiencing the same thing.
3. identity protection - the author might have deleted the story to protect their own identity or the identity of someone they wrote into the story.
4. cleaning online accounts - the author might use the same handle on more than one site and not want to have their fic associated with their instagram or twitter etc.
5. publishing - some authors remove their works from fanfic sites if they are planning to rewrite it and submit it to a publisher by "filing off the serial numbers" and removing the fandom references so that it looks more like an original work than a transformative one.
6. guilt - the author hasn't updated the story in [whatever period of time] and the fact that it exists out there, incomplete, is a huge source of guilt. They know they won't ever finish it, and they'd rather delete than deal with the constant internal nagging.
7. the author just doesn't like it anymore.

Star Lost | M!Blind Werewolf x F!Irish Human
Tumblr media
Genre: Romance, Fluff, Angst, Short story
Pairing: Lucas Diarmuid O’Dyna (blind m!werewolf) x fem!Human reader
Word Count: 3.1K
Warnings: Allusion to low self-esteem & discrimination, tooth-rotting domestic fluff, a sprinkle of an aroused wolf.
Summary: 
Even if I live a calm life as if nothing has happened at all I live it in fear that I’ll be left alone
-
I feel like I’m lost, stuck in the dark Wandering in the deep fog I’m star lost
- Star Lost by Stray Kids
It’s one of those evenings again, another dark moment between the bright ones making up the day. It isn’t the first time that the night ignites Lucas’s melancholy, viciously mixing with his insomnia and lack of self-definition.
London was supposed to be better, to be a second chance. Then again, you can’t run from the shame hiding in the shadow filled with the ghosts of the past. Each step meant to go forward contains them, there is no hope of battling them. Especially as a blind wolf.
Though a brave woman tries, exchanging her shadow for his like she does in the day. Her weapon of choice?
A cup of tea.
Author’s Note: A wee early birthday present from yours truly and a temporary farewell gift. I will be back with stories in late April/early May, depending on how my thesis develops. Until then, I hope Lucas will steal your heart as much as he has mine and look forward to my future projects.
Oh, by the way, as always, I am not responsible for any emotional damage! ^^

“Your hair is really soft after you wash it.” Appreciatively, slender fingers weave through a few locks while milky white eyes light up. A subtle smile makes the corners of the young man’s lips curl up.
I found him on the edge of the bed, the door left open just enough to reveal him staring out the window. Though he tends not to show it, there are days like this when Lucas can’t help but be overcome by melancholy. He’d be a little more quiet over dinner, normally full of stories and questions about my day even though we spent it together. While getting the messages, he’d be absent-minded to the point I have to repeat everything I say or ask. The grip on my arm is more loose, easy to slip out of and leave him standing lost in thought.
“I think it’s because of the new shampoo.”
He holds the strands in his hand up to his nose, inhaling the scent with closed eyes. “Honey.” He hums approvingly. “Way better than the one you used before.”
“Was the mango shampoo really so bad?”
He scrunches his nose. “It smelled artificial.”
Whereas blindness doesn’t result in sharper senses in humans, it does in some wolves. Being one of the rare exceptions, it has sharpened his other senses. Nevertheless, it has to be said that years of training and finding ways to live with the disadvantage have helped too.
He’s come far from the menace I found in the shipping container in the port of London.

Fox Pearls | M!Gumiho x Fem!Human
Tumblr media
Genre: Fluff, Angst, Humour, Romance
Pairing: Kang Dae-Hyun x Sinead O’Hara (M!Gumiho romance writer x Irish Fem!Human)
Warnings: None except tooth-rotting fluff, Dae-Hyun being an absolute (but insecure) gentleman, (age) discrimination, a sprinkle of angst, and a rather significant age gap.
Summary: Dae-Hyun spends his days at the bakery where Sinead works, writing the hours away and providing company to the girl and vice versa. However, one day he shows up in a breath-taking manner that does more than send tongues wagging.
What should be a boba date to celebrate a book deal and repay past kindnesses entails more than either party could have expected. Nevertheless, will it strengthen their bond or enhance the distance between them?
Author’s Note: First of all, thank you so much for the 200+ followers!
I know I’ve said this before, but someone seriously needs to take Park Hae Soo away from me or vice versa because the way he makes me feel is not okay. Have you seen this post by Alok?
DO YOU SEE MY PROBLEM NOW?!
Oh, when will being inspired not cause me any emotional distress?
By the way, kudos to the people who will pick up on the references in this piece.

Irish vocab & meaning (sources: personal experience & The Irish Road Trip):
A cute hoor: used to describe someone that’s relatively crafty and that’s able to mould a situation to benefit themselves.
Eating the head off of someone: to get very mad at someone, to give out to someone.
Flapping your gob: tongue-wagging, gossiping.
Gawk: rudely staring.
Grand: a type of word commonly used as a response to questions like ‘How are you?’. It’s kind of comparable to ‘fine’ in this type of setting. 
However, it can also mean ‘great’ when, for example, congratulating someone.
Ossified: Drunk.
Tumblr media
Bakeries are never short on conversation topics, forming one of the hubs of gossip around town. Today forms no exception at Wolf Bread because the same words are repeated in hushed whispers once the bell above the entryway announces a new visitor.
“Who is that?”
“Oh my days, he’s handsome.”
“He looks like an actor from one of those dramas you watch.”
“Do you think he’s taken?”
A tall man, in his early forties and neatly dressed in a black suit, enters the bakery. Whereas his bangs normally cover his forehead, today they’re parted in the middle and styled to the side. His glasses have remained at home, replaced by lenses. 
Ignoring the excited murmurs, he heads for the counter. While he does, he keeps his back towards the other customers, keeping them ignorant to the fact he doesn’t take the indirect compliments with pride. Shoulders slightly hunched and gaze turned downward to make sure he won’t stumble over his own feet, as he tends to do, he looks like he’s ready, even yearning, for the ground to swallow him.

For those of you who wonder what I’m up to these days now that I’ve left the KPop corner for good.
Scruffy | Mute M!Werewolf x Fem!Reader
Tumblr media
Genre: Romance, Fluff, Short story
Pairing: Christopher Van Helsing (mute m!werewolf tattoo artist) x fem!Reader
Word Count: 3.6K
Warnings: Allusion to bad body image/low self-esteem, tooth-rotting domestic fluff, a sprinkle of an aroused wolf.
Summary: Confidence doesn’t come naturally to your mute tattooed boyfriend. Normally your presence and the ink on his skin is enough to prevent him from retreating into his own world, physically and mentally. However, on the morning after a strange night, he can’t muster even the tiniest sliver of it.
It is one thing to have him in your arms, worn and ragged like he’s been chased through the woods. But it is too much to bear to see him looking into the mirror with a forlorn expression as soon as he wakes up. Wanting to improve his mood and perhaps get some clarification about last night’s events, you decide to make this morning about nothing but love, care, and attention.
After all, who doesn’t like a scruffy wolf? 
Author’s Note: As of writing this, this blog has 100+ followers! Thank you all so much for following me, who started this blog as a wee experiment and with low expectations. I am so delighted to see the interaction with and appreciation for my posts as well as my take on werewolves. ^^
Speaking of experiments, Christopher is one too. I have been meaning to expand and improve my writing skills by challenging myself, which apparently has led to exploring the psychology and life of a mute werewolf artist.
And let me tell you, Chris won me over the second he came into creation. I hope you will adore him as much as I do. I am not responsible for any emotional damage due to combusting into a ball of fluff, though!
Anyways, enjoy!
Inspired by @exoxenoterato​’s additions to my Werewolf 101 & this wolfish thought as well as this audio by the incredible Gael Force.
Tumblr media
It’s a rare sight to see Chris unshaven. Each morning, he’d already be in the bathroom with a razor in his hands regardless of there being hair or not. From the moment I first stumbled across his first and only selfie on his Instagram profile until the moment I walked into Saga Ink for the tattoo on my thigh, I have never seen the slightest trace of beard grow or a moustache. Even as we slowly began to see each other more, developing our sweet coffee and drawing time together, has there been the tiniest hair above his full lips or on his jaw. 
However, this morning is different. 
It was a strange night overall. Although, it’s better to say it was a strange morning since the sun was brimming on the horizon when he stumbled into the bedroom, buck-naked and covered in sweat. I didn’t ask him what had gotten him in such a state, the sad joy in tired eyes and quicksilver smile flashing by over his pale expression betrayed he didn’t have the energy to sign or type out on his phone what happened. 
One thing was clear, however. It’s a long story for later.
So, instead of laying it on the line with him, I beckoned him to bed. As he shuffled over, he grabbed his favourite shirt, a baggy grey sweater with a deep round neck, from the chair beside the closet and held it out to me. I gestured for him to sit down and helped him into it.
A low pained whimper escaped Chris when he tried to get comfortable, a sound that shattered my heart in a thousand pieces and hurt me more than the hardship he has to endure because of his muteness.
“Are you alright?” I asked, pulling the sheets over us. He had his head on my chest right where he’d be able to hear my heartbeat. Listening to it, as it turns out, is his personal melatonin and though he doesn’t admit it, he does get sulky when I deny the little pleasure to him. More often than not this is the case if he has the time to take a nap during work hours but I have a writing deadline or I send him to bed early after a long day of work and a meal. 
He didn’t answer. With every short and sharp breath the tawny locks not yet matted by sweat trembled like the sprigs of a tree about to snap. Had he returned a second later from wherever he came from, I fear he would have collapsed.
I thought he’d sleep in, especially considering the state he was in. Nevertheless, I wake up to an empty side of the bed and the door left open a crack.

Nooo I hate to see you go!! I was so excited to see how the Not by the Moon would continue😭😭 unless you plan to finish writing the chapter(s) you're working on and publish them on other platform...? In any case I've enjoyed going back to it to reread it every once in awhile so I have hope that I can still find the story later on perhaps..?🥺
But I understand how mentally draining it is to manage several blogs, on top of school and mental health and life and everything
In the end you should do what feels right to you 😌
Best wishes!🖤
Dear anon,
I might continue publishing Not by the Moon on AO3. Look for The Red Raven and you should be able to find it. However, I’m also planning on actually (self-)publishing it as a novel somewhere in the future. Mayhaps even in the near future.
And it’s not necessarily managing multiple blogs that’s mentally draining me, it’s more the lack of interaction as well as the content. I’m simply kinda over and done with KPop.🤷🏻‍♀️
(Not so much as I’m done with my retail job because that’s on a whole other level of exhausting)
All in all, it’s time for me to get serious about publishing and set up secondary income streams as well as getting out of this bloody rut I’ve been in.
One thing that has been helping has been @inkwolvesandcoffee, but a lot remains to be done still. Life’s been stagnant for too long.
Nevertheless, thank you for returning to my story every once in a while. It truly means a lot to me.
Take care and stay safe and healthy.
Love,
Jules Wolverton-Hyde

Permanent Hiatus | Abandoning This Blog
Tumblr media
To whoever it may concern,
It’s becoming more and more attractive for me to permanently switch to my other blog; @inkwolvesandcoffee.
I don’t think anyone here would mind AND that blog gets way more interaction. Moreover, it’s fun.
It’s actually giving me joy.
And that is something that this one hasn’t been giving me for a long time. Ah dinnae ken why or, rather, cannot quite put my finger on that which is actually tiring me out so much over here. Actually, one of the things is the lack of interaction, but otherwise it’s just exhausting (mentally) and boring.
(Maybe its the stagnation this blog is causing me? It’s another cause of the exhaustion, anyway)
At this point, I am not even sure whether I will continue to write KPop fanfiction. If I do, it will only be posted on AO3.
Kind regards,
Jules Wolverton-Hyde
