Give me a link to one of my fics, and I'll give you three details that didn't make it into the fic. Background canon, deleted scenes, or a look into the future. My choice, but if you have a specific question you can ask it in your request.

feel free to ask about more than one fic.

sweet sweet procrastination.

cries when you said masterpiece I was like . . . durr

background canon is reality so I will talk about my process! um this is (obviously, I think) one of the fics I have the most notes for. I still have a word doc in my fanfic folder that has all of my sujushinee predebut+postdebut notes and a wikipedia style summary of almost everything that happened in the fic. T_____T it wasn't until later that I realized just how much information is out about smtowners' lives, especially in terms of predebut. when I was doing the same research for a beast fic there were no clear timelines for a lot of the members (since they switched companies a lot) and some reports seemed to contradict themselves. >:(

deleted scenes/ideas- when I started researching predebut stuff I actually looked up stuff for all the sm groups, thinking I could write about all of them and still have an overarching story. the fic already has a ton of sungmin but there was originally going to be more; my original idea was to write a huuuuuge smtown predebut extravaganza with 2hyun and sungmin/sooyoung and other little things. but as I researched and plotted I realized how much I shipped 2hyun and threw everything else out the window. MORAL OF KATIE'S THOUGHT PROCESS: 1) too much ambition, 2) there is always a place for minyoung until there isn't one. sob.

the future- lol I actually wanted to end it at the 2009 awards show where they hugged like freaks in their ugly suits, but the ending with shinee's debut/smtown 08 ended up working way better. sm the ballad is the best epilogue to this fic I could have asked for tbh.

correction: there is always a place for minyoung. AND NOTHING ELSE AFTER.
