It's Been 9 Years WHAT

A lot of things have changed since I started this blog in 2009.

1. I achieved my dream of being in the legal profession.

2. I have not yet finished Keeping the Casanova. (I'm determined to give it a happy ending.)

3. I upgraded my laptop. (From Windows to Mac.)

4. Busy as hell, but I just don't have the heart to keep my fanfic hanging, so the writing continues.

5. Watch out for the continuation of Keeping the Casanova. It will be posted solely at fanfiction.net and nowhere else.

King2Hearts Fanfic

For those interested... I created a separate blog for the King 2 Hearts fanfic I wrote featuring Eun Shi Kyung and Lee Jae Shin. This fanfic is also posted at Soompi but for some reason, I can't access the forum. =/


As for Keeping the Casanova, please hang tight everyone. I know it's been months since my last update. I just got through my prelim exams last week and am juggling my time to finish the new chapter.

Link HERE.

A shout out to Jet and Steph~! Here's the link if you guys are still interested to read it. =)



Much Love,
Shattered Teardrops

Eun Shi Kyung & Lee Jae Shin

I am so damn frustrated by the tragic ending of the love line between these two in the Kdrama series King 2 Hearts. I swear! I haven't been this riled up by the second pair in a drama series since Boys Over Flower's SoEul couple in 2009!

So, I was thinking...

If I wrote a fanfic about these two, 

would anyone read it?

I know I haven't been updating my SoEul fanfic these past months, I'm sorry. School is getting the best of me. The newest chapter is still in the works though... Don't worry.

Oh, and I'm not ditching my SoEul just to write a King2Hearts fic... It's just that I need to get them out of my system somehow...

KTC Chapter 25 - Closer

Ladies and gentlemen, Chapter 25 of Keeping the Casanova is now up and posted on Soompi Forums, Fanfiction.net, AsianFanFanfiction and Lovers Unparalleled.

I wanted to write more for this Chapter but didn't want to keep the readers waiting because they've waited too long when I still had school to attend to, so I just ended the Chapter where I could end it and hopefully, I can post the next chapter soon enough.

Wish me luck! =)

And thank you so much for waiting, and for the support!



regards,
Shattered Teardrops

Working on it!

I'ma keep this short.

Yes, I am a lazy bum... But not all the time. =)


-Dia

KTC CH.24

... is up and posted at LU, Soompi and FF.net!

Although this chapter is short, I hope you guys still read it. I'm still trying to break out of writing-dormancy.
Summer has the tendency to empower the lazy bum in people, and I happen to be one. Hee.

Whatever parts I left out in Chapter 24 will be made up by Chapter 25! I promise! =)


regards,
Dia

Milestones

*takes a deep breath*

First off, I know I have been absent for so many weeks and it's only now that I've surfaced from the cave I've been hiding. (If you happen to follow me on Twitter, you'd probably read the gruesome details of my life.)

My online life has been suffering too much ever since I got shipped into law school. (Hey! It's not my fault I've got to bleed myself dry in meeting my demanding academic life!)

BUT!

I update whenever I can... Which is rarely, but still... (Please understand... *pouts*)

Anyways, the reason I blogged is to discuss the recent "milestone" in my SoEul Fanfiction Writing career.

In Chapter 23 of Keeping the Casanova, I've finally written a love scene for the SoEul couple. Admittedly, it wasn't the first love scene I've ever written because I've also written an NC-17 fanfic featuring them (Art of Lip-Locking).

Along the course of writing the love scene in KTC Chapter 23, I tried my best writing it in such a way that wouldn't seem to obscene but could properly describe the things I've wanted to portray.

And it was hecka hard!

I found myself writing parts that I later on decided to be too graphic, and so, were scratched before the final version was posted unto the sites where I post my fic.

I wouldn't say it's fun writing the love scene because I was sweating buckets and nose-bleeding the whole time. But it was definitely one of those experienced that I'd say, contributed to my growth as a writer.

On a side note!

ANOTHER MILESTONE IN MY WRITING CAREER!!!

Last February 26, 2012, I found out that a story of mine posted on Soompi under a different pen name happened to win Best Comedy Fiction Of the Year 2011 under the One-Shot/Short-Story Category!

Last year, I decided to create another account on Soompi using a different pen name. The pen name Shattered Teardrops has been too associated with SoEul fanfics that I decided to create a different persona and pseudonym for my original fiction stories. And so, DaniFire was born.

DaniFire became the author of "She Caught Me", a young adult short-story featuring Seth and Laika.

The nomination and voting for Soompi's FOTY Awards happened during the last quarter of 2011. I knew of this just February of 2012. I'm so happy because I won despite the fact that I didn't do anything to promote my story and didn't even do anything to solicit votes from Soompiers.

This really brought a huge smile to my face. =)

Thank you!


And so, this blog ends here. =)


regards,
Dia

Late Post but...

... Chapter 22 of Keeping the Casanova has been posted at Soompi, LU and Fanfiction.net~! (Just click on the links to go straight to the newest chapter!)

Oh, and I haven't sent any PMs to the readers on Soompi because of time-constraints... Cheongmal mianhaeyo!

Anyways, I'm very happy that some people stick stuck on to reading KTC even though I rarely update nowadays. Law school is a difficult playing field so I have to keep my studies up if I don't want to get kicked out of the school I go to. *sigh*

Well, I'd still like to thank everyone for their support!

Imagine, Boys Over Flowers (Korean Version) aired in the year 2009. And it's already 2012! It's been three years since I became a SoEulmate and up until now, I remain a true blue SoEulmate~!

My only wish this year is that some PD finally recognize that Kim Bum and Kim So Eun both has stable acting backgrounds under their belt, and finally acknowledge that their chemistry is still very powerful... *cough*Prettypleasepairthemupinadrama*cough*

I'm looking forward to spending another year being a SoEulmate! I hope you guys do, too! =)

Yes, I've been MIA for a month

... and with an acceptable reason.

I've been pretty open about how law school affected my life since I nose-dived into it without much preparation or warning. (Well, I've been warned, but I didn't think it would be too difficult. I was wrong.)

The epic failure of my grades, my barely-existent social life reduced further to mere miniscule shambles, my stressed-out appearance, my dwindling eyesight (I'm near-sighted and it's getting worse.), and my constantly saturated brain were the results of my first semester in law school.

It's not fun. It's challenging definitely, but not fun.

We're constantly bombarded with essay questions which seem more like trick questions, rather than an essay ones. MCQs are hecka confusing, and the teachers, well, some of them are exactly the devil personified.

And so, I am left confused and torn yet again.

During my first week of law school, the Dean of our College told us that being in law school required a lot of sacrifices - some small, some big - all of them essential in order to survive law school.

She said that, "Law School is a jealous mistress...". Most of the working-students were discouraged from employment if it's possible for them to study without any distraction. And this advice came with good reason: law school really is tough.

And this topic, I would like to relate with the promise I made a month ago: I promised not to abandon writing my SoEul fanfiction entitled "Keeping the Casanova". In fact, I even promised not to quit writing fanfics.

I haven't posted an update for a month already, and this has been a constant source of heartbreak. I feel that as a writer, I've failed in the most basic task of posting new chapters for my readers.

And I don't even have much time to write because most of my time is spent on reading, studying and memorizing. What's left of it, I use to rest and help out with the chores at home. (I'm the eldest daughter. Imagine the responsibility.)

As of the moment, I am in deep contemplation. (Not to mention, confused as hell.)

I have been writing for eight years now - admittedly, that is not such a short time and something that is not easy to give up.

I don't want to give up writing fanfics.
I don't want to give up writing Keeping the Casanova.
I don't want to give-up SoEul.
I don't want to give up being shattered teardrops.

...but it's as if I'm driven to the edge and forcefully pushed to choose between two things I highly value.

School or Writing?

The decision is heartbreaking. =(

Hello!

How have you guys been? It's been a while since I've posted any updates in this blog and for that, I'd like to blame law school. =)

Anyways, just a quick note to everyone. I've started writing the newest chapter for Keeping the Casanova. I will post it as soon as possible. I just don't know when but I'm working on it.

By the way, my midterms just ended. The epic failure of it sent me to a binge-eating overdrive just to comfort myself. *sigh* I've never felt so stupid in my entire life. Law school seems to drain all the positive energy in me and make my inner bitch come out.

Anyways, see you when I see you. =)

I hope you don't get tired of waiting for Keeping the Casanova! =)

Newly Wed

... Chapter 20 of Keeping the Casanova.

First things first!

I was supposed to post the whole update on Saturday evening after or Sunday morning if in case I wasn't able to finish all of it by the Saturday... I even planned to write a 5,000-worded chapter just to make the readers happy...

I even announced it on Twitter.

But then, a blackout happened for more than 10 hours so I wasn't able to complete the chapter on time. Hence, I only posted it now... Truthfully, I apologize. *sigh*

I know you guys have been waiting so long for this. I'm sorry...

Anyways...

REPLIES:

babypillow - I know, right? =) Thanks for the comment.

leighannechan - You're welcome! Han Byul was really meant to drop unto Ji Hoo because he's the only F4 without so much conflict to handle.. so yeah. =)

kly8 - ahaha Yeah, I agree! XD

deep.dreamer - WHUUTTT??? Ahahaha That, I would like to see!!! But then, not really. XD

jaequeen - Ahahaha It's alright... They will have time together... soon. *winks*

xBeckkii - Uh oh... Why do you think something bad will happen???

iLuvBlackCoffee - I promise never to abandon this fic! I swear! It's going to take long to post updates but I will not stop! =) Actually, there's going to be a twist with Woo Bin's condition as well. XD Oh, and I was also planning for something to happen in the Philippines!

The Queen and the Joker

A Jun Hyung and Hyun Ah one-shot fanfic... 

(just because I'm impulsive and I felt like writing it)

 Link for fanfic on Soompi.

There were many reasons why I wrote this certain fanfic.

But then, I recommend you read this: FuckYeahJunAh

They're like the JunAh counterpart of the Applers. Hee.

HEY, I'm not saying I'm against the relationship of Goo Hara and Jun Hyung, I'm just saying I like the JunAh pairing more. Besides, it's waaaaaaay obvious from the way they interacted that they were attracted to each other. I dunno what happened though...

Hence, my attempt to justify their story and hence why the above one-shot was born.

So yeah, no bashing please. 

That's it!

Healthy Jealousy

... Chapter 19 of Keeping the Casanova.

.............. I'M BACK, WITCHES!!! (I've always wanted to say that. LOL.)

So, law school has been draining my energy for the last few weeks. GAWD. My most freakin' favorite place in the world now is... the Law Library. T_T

No kidding!!! 

My class starts at 5:30 in the afternoon most weekdays, but I spend time in the library from 2:00 PM, not because I want to, but because I have to read, read and read more.

In law school, going to class is like going to war - you have to prepared with weapons - in this case, knowledge of the lesson and the cases involved - because if you're not prepared, you're gonna look pathetic.

That has been the main reason why I barely have time to actually sit down to write and type my heart out. *sigh* Also, I have classes six days a week, so yeah...

My life right now in a collage of pictures. Coffee & fries included. =)

REPLIES:

dee:) - TUHMAAAA!!! Different people have different perspective of the same thing.

Trixie9394 - Oh, of course, there is a solution to every problem.. *winks* I'm the master mind behind this fic so everything will be okay.

leighannechan - LQs are normal, right? Even for married couples.

yeongweonhi02stary - Ahahaha Everyone shocked with Ji Hoo, right? *grin*

paradoxist - Ehehehe Not really. XDDD

babypillow - Wahahaha What??? Ji Hoo is a grown man after all. Come on! You give him so little credit! XD

alasdair_vahn - I must mention that I adore your avatar. I like it! =) Well, they're still newlyweds right? It's normal to bicker and quarrel at times. I'm trying to portray that side of marriage because contrary to what most people believe, marriages don't necessarily mean happy endings.

inday_yu - TRUE. But I guess she's trying not to look small compared to her husband, 'cause it's well-established that he's "up there" and she's not quite "there" yet, in terms of socio-economic status.

great.am - Who doesn't love the Jae Kyung & Woo Bin pairing?? Come on!

swtxlilqt95 - LOL. You're the only one seeing the positive thing in this chapter! I love you already!!! Well, in a non-lesbian sort of way, of course. haha

kly8 - Wahahaha the story behind Han Byul is revealed in Chapter 19. It's not a really big story anyways. Just a sort of misunderstanding. =)

iaimeyouS2 - I love dropping nukes every now and then. =)

Ahr3um - Well, let's just say that Yi Jung and Ga Eul's relationship isn't that stable yet because they're still newly weds. *winks*

suzy_me - Muahahaha Coz I'm evil like that, yo! =)

pinkfairyfloss - You have been added to the PM List! Thank you for reading! =)

zealous - New reader? haha Welcome to KTC!!! =)

teresaa- - LOL! Yi Jung PMS-ing!!! I LOVE THAT!!! XD You just made me crack a smile! =)

shar0nsaurus - haha Let's just say that Ji Hoo is for the side story. *winks*

deep.dreamer - There is an explanation in Chapter 19! You actually read my mind while I was writing Chapter 19, didn't you???

sylvia_psf - Like I said, I was dropping nukes on Chapter 18. I keep my promises. =)

xBeckkii - You've been added to the PM List! Welcome to KTC! Thank you for reading! =)

xloserr - You're welcome! Glad you like it! Thank you for reading! =)

jaequeen - LOL. You have a very active imagination. haha

Everyone, thank you so much for the patience. 

It's really difficult to post updates regularly because of school. 

But I hope you still continue to watch out for my updates! =) 

Hope you enjoy reading!
