I'M BAACCCCKKKK!!!

Like I promised, I'm going to give Yi ung and Ga Eul the happy ending they deserved through Keeping the Casanova.

And like I also promised, I'll start working on KTC again right after I finish my bar exams. And so, as proof, I present to you this little sneaky peak to Chapter 38. hihi

I'm so excited to be back to writing. It's been sooooooo long! I love the sound of the keyboard clacking and letting my fingers do the talking. =)

I will post Chapter 38 as soon as I reach my word count quota!

See you?

Kim Bum Dating + KTC Updates

BAD NEWS FIRST: My November began with a heartbreak.

I'm sure most of you have heard about the news of Kim Bum and Moon Geun Young dating. And I'm sure you also experienced the heartbreak that I experienced as a long-time SoEulmate who had been hoping and praying for years that Kim Bum and Kim So Eun end up together. Well, sadly reality doesn't always end up the way we want it to.

For my part, I just want to say that I've been a SoEulmate since 2009. I've been supporting them ever since, and I'm still here. I've made great friends because of the SoEulmate fandom, and a dating news isn't going to make me leave. So yes, I'm still a SoEulmate.

To get through these rough times, I just imagine that Kim Bum is only channeling So Yi Jeong, and that someday, he'll still end up with our Ga Eul-yang. It isn't easy, I know, but keep in mind what Ga Eul-yang said: "in order to be happy and stronger, we must endure several thousand degrees of heat." That's what I'm doing, and I hope you do it, too.

Now, unto the GOOD NEWS: Keeping the Casanova Chapter 35 and Chapter 36 have been posted on FanFiction.net. Here's the LINK.

I've been working over-time on KTC ever since I got a break because I have five final exams coming up, and I doubt if I'd have another break soon. To make-up for the months I haven't posted an update, I posted two chapters to tide you over until the Christmas break.

Since I know that the news about Kim Bum dating has broken several hearts, I also wrote a two-shot KBxKSE fanfic entitled Soulmates: a Behind the Reel Romance. You can read the first part HERE.

Don't be too depressed. Hope you stay safe and well. SoEulmates FTW!

Broken

Chapter 34 of Keeping the Casanova is already posted on Fanfiction.net~!

Author's Note: 
I'm probably going to be hated for this chapter, but just to let you guys know, I'm the kind of author who's not afraid to let her characters suffer because as Chu Ga Eul so eloquently put it: a pot needs to endure several degrees of heat in a kiln in order to become stronger. Besides, a happy ending wouldn't be so satisfying if the conflicts are minimal, right?

The Price of Fame

Keeping the Casanova Chapter 33 is up on Fanfiction.net!
Link - HERE

The reason why it took so long for me to post this chapter was because I kept putting off finishing it. It's a chapter that makes everything I've written thus far spiral downhill. I'm sorry.

An Heiress' Wish

Chapter 29 of Keeping the Casanova is now posted on FF.net and Soompi Forums~! =)

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!

Shattered Teardrops

Working on it!

I'ma keep this short.

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

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! =)

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! =)

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. =)

great.am - Ahahaha I'm glad your heart is now appeased!

dee:) - Yep, I'm crazy by putting twists like that. Hee.

rawrritsgracex3 - Yep, Philippines!!! XD

Ahr3um - You're welcome! haha Everything at school is... Well, I'm not even gonna touch on that topic because it's tough. haha

alasdair_vahn - Well, I'd like to call it motherly instincts. All of them are at the age of marrying, anyways, right? =)

sapphirever - To answer your question, YES, I can and will write a Rated Chapter when it all comes down to that. =)

paradoxist - Thank you for the comment! Hee. I just love how I can twist things in a story sometimes.

teresaa- - Ooohhh... I love surprising twists! Don't you? haha

Trixie9394 - The Baby is actually Ji Hoo's sister but the Mom is not Ji Hoo's Mom because baby Han Byul is the product of a scientific insemination. I hope that cleared things up!

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*

isdupt15 - Yeah... I do think they should consummate their marriage in the Philippines, though! XD

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!

akemi_cho - Thank you for the comment! It's alright if you can't really comment on every chapter. I understand. =)

shar0nsaurus - The honeymoon will come in due time. I promise. Hee.

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!

A Shock

Chapter 18 of Keeping the Casanova...

Nukes are in this chapter. Muahahahaha *cough* *cough* I gotta practice my evil laugh more. XD


REPLIES:

teresaa- - Chapter 18 will somehow answer Han Byul's connection to the F4. That's all I'm giving away. =) As for Eun Hye & Shin Hye, well, right from the start, I was already intending to put them into the story. haha It was all planned up.

inday_yu - Ji Hoo's story is a sort of side story so I won't elaborate on that unless it's needed. But I do love me some Ji Hoo so maybe I can write about it more. =) As for Jae Kyung and Woo Bin, I always have fun writing about this couple. XD

Trixie9394 - Is Woo Bin making Jae Kyung jealous? Well... Hmmm... Maybe. But I have bigger plans for them. Muahahaha

dee:) - I also love the two of them! XD Muahahaha

deep.dreamer - Thank you! I hope you like Chapter 18 then. =)

Ahr3um - The Chapter was a bit short because it was a filler. =)

great.am - I know, right? I mean, the first time I saw Mi Nam in You're Beautiful, I was totally thinking of Eun Hye in Coffee Prince! XD

yeongweonhi02stary - That's what I was trying to portray Woo Bin as. Someone who can be good for a night or lust, but not for love. Awwww. =(

carylmeasblue - True that! I believe some people are just hormonally-driven. LOL.

starzz24 - I know exactly what you mean. =)

akemi_cho - Wow... I guess welcome back? haha Good luck on your studies, too! Hope you do well! =)

alasdair_vahn - There is a bigger reason why Woo Bin brought Jae Kyung to that restaurant. I write everything for a purpose, sometimes, the answer is just not that obvious. *winks*

paradoxist - It's alright! Studies first! =) I'm glad you still come back to read my story though. That really makes me feel nice. Muahahaha. Kidding! XD Good luck on your studies, too! Hope you do well! =) Don't worry. I'm going to continue sending PMs!

isdupt15 - Oh, sure... Surprises are my specialty. =)

leighannechan - Ditto! You can totally read my mind! =)

kly8 - He surely is! XD Come on, it's Jae Kyung we're talking about here. haha

sylvia_psf - Thank you! XD

shar0nsaurus - The possibilities are endless if you just think about it. XD Muahahaha~!

Everyone, thank you so much for the continued support!

Opening of classes are nearing again so I might have a bit of hang up in updating 

but I promise to finish this story no matter what! =)

Love and Lust

...Chapter 17 of Keeping the Casanova

Before I post the replies, I hope you guys don't mind if I rant a little bit.

Today isn't a very good day for me. My Dad left to work overseas, and I don't know when I'll be able to see him again. It was an abrupt departure and we weren't really expecting it. All of a sudden, he just received a call from his agency at 10 in the morning and by mid-day, he had to go to the airport and leave.

I was still asleep when he left. He didn't say good-bye. And I actually prefer it that he didn't.

Okay.

REPLIES:

swtxlilqt95 - Secret!!! wahahaha

inday_yu - Han Byul's appearance in the lives of the F4 definitely rocked their world. They're now thinking of their own futures! =)

natashaz - You have been added to the PM List!

yeongweonhi02stary - Well, I am trying my best to juggle out the three pairings I have going on in this fic. haha

alasdair_vahn - Correct! Han Byul is that influential! LOL.

Trixie9394 - I don't think Ga Eul is the one Kristofer Valfrid is looking for. =)

dee:) - Yeah, well, I kind of still don't know what to write about them at the moment so I'm diverting some attention towards the other pairs. LOL. I'm abnormal.

leighannechan - Me, too! I can't wait! XD

Ahr3um - Why do I get the feeling that you read minds? Especially mine? Wahahaha

deep.dreamer - LOL. Possibly. haha

teresaa- - Ji Eun's identity is finally revealed in Chapter 17, plus the introduction of another character! XD

kly8 - Kristofer Valfrid's story shal be unveiled in the near future. *winks* Oh, if Ji Hoo pancakes are sold somehwere, I'd buy at least a dozen! Along with Ji Hoo! Bwahahahaha (lunatic  fan-girl mode)

carylmeasblue - I think so, too! LOL.

aliceex - Thank you! It's alright! =)

iaimeyouS2 - Haha Not really. XD

jaequeen - Whoah... What do you think will happen?! Tell me!!! I'm just curious... haha

sylvia_psf - Thank you! And your welcome! =)

isdupt15 - There is a reason why I'm still not writing about SoEul. *winks*

-oOo-

IMPORTANT NOTES:

For Chapter 17, the highlights are:

• Ji Eun's real identity is revealed.
• A new character is introduced.
• More on Jae Kyung & Woo Bin. 

I didn't write an update on SoEul because in all honesty, Chapter 17 is a filler chapter which will only fill space for a bit of development dedicated to the minor characters. Next Chapter, I'm going to drop nukes and bombs regarding SoEul as well as the real Father of Han Byul. Watch out for it! =)

Thank you so much for your continued support! =)

Mending What's Broken

 Chapter Sixteen of Keeping the Casanova

Author's Note: 
For the last Chapter, you guys mentioned Kristofer Valfrid was an ass for saying that the F4 were gay. I'd like to clarify that I tried to see an outsider's perspective who might learn about the F4 for the first time, hence, it was that way. I meant no disrespect, okies? =)


REPLIES:


alasdair_vahn - True. There are still a lot of things that the F4 hasn't experienced so I try my best to write about them gaining experiences for character growth. Also, Ji Hoo is a heart surgeon, his specialty is operating on heart patients so even though he's a doctor, technically speaking, his field of expertise is different. Thanks for reading!

darkrainbowday-x - Aah.. Of course. Babies are the one of the hardest things to handle for a handsome gangster. haha

xloserr - I like Woo Bin and Jae Kyung, too, but since this is mainly a SoEul story, I try to focus more on Yi Jung and Ga Eul's relationship. *winks*

inday_yu - Ahahaha Incompetent child handlers! I love that line! XD

Trixie9394 - And thank you for reading! I try my best to inject humor as much as I could.. =)

dee:) - I couldn't stop myself from adding a little snippet of Woo Bin's inner turmoil at the end.. I think it balances the whole cheerful atmosphere. =)

kly8 - I know, right? XD

krazydaisy96 - And you are absolutely right. There is no way I'm going to leave Woo Bin hanging! =) I'm updating more frequently because it's summer here in the Philippines!

emkail - That's a possibility. *winks*

babypillow - Yeah! The F4 are so manly, they make everyone else pale in comparison! =)

iaimeyouS2 - I know! That's why I wrote that! Finally! Someone who understands the logic behind why Mr. Valfrid called the F4 gay! =)

sylvia_psf - Thank you! And thanks for reading! =)

carylmeasblue - Aww.. All of us want some happy ending for Prince Song. =)

teresaa- - Woo Bin's impotence is a sort of twist I didn't plan on putting but was very glad I put it in anyways.. Thanks for reading!

shar0nsaurus - Han Byul's father? Keke It's going to be a little shocker. XD

deep.dreamer - Actually, impotence may mean can have sex but not be able to fertilize the egg cells of the female. =)

Ahr3um - The real father will be revealed... soon. XD

leighannechan - Ga Eul PAWNED another guy! XD

yeongweonhi02stary - Agree! Low sperm count doesn't mean no sperm! LOL.

jaequeen - Please wait! haha Even if you can't! =)

Everyone, thank you very much for the support! =) 

See you on the next chapter!
