Explanatory Post

Hello everyone! 

This post is just a basic explanation of how this blog will run from now on in. We officially started the blog on the 19th of September 2017. These last few days it may have seemed a bit quiet, it was mostly because the admins were busy making preparations. We have lots of things in store for our members and we hope you enjoy being part of our community! 

Weekly Prompts

Firstly, shout out to @weltraumheldin (Admin Jana) for making these wonderful banners! Weekly prompts will come out at the start of every week. These prompts will all be for works under 1000 words in length where you are given a simple prompt and have to create a piece using it (anything you like, fanfics, one shots, poems, original writing, absolutely anything). You may post these onto your own blog and tag it under #weeklyprompt or submit it to the network. There are no other limitations apart from them having to be under 1000 words (max 1500). We hope that this will help with being able to compact a lot of story into few words. At the end of each week, the admins will go through the various writings we receive and offer feedback to each of the writers about their writings. Other members are also encouraged to give feedback to each other and the admins. 

Monthly Prompts

Monthly prompts will work exactly like the weekly prompts only that they’ll come out once a month and much longer and they’ll also be a bit more thought provoking. Please tag these under #monthlyprompt or submit it to the network. It is encouraged that the members of the network try to do the weekly and monthly prompts if they can/find time to. But it is understandable if you are busy and unable to. The first monthly prompt will come out the first of October.

Random Prompts

Random prompts will come out (as the name suggests) randomly. These are just free for use. 

Tags

Please tag your works with #thewritersnetwork if you’d like us to reblog it onto our blog. Also it’d be nice if you could specify if your writing is sfw or nsfw, though a lot of people do put it in the description section that is okay too just as long as we know what it is so we can tag it appropriately on the network. And of course the #weekly prompt and #montly prompt tags. Lastly, if you would like something to be given feedback on please also tag it as #feedback wanted so that we can give it feed back specifically.

Feedback

Feedback will be given when asked (via the #feedbackwanted tag or asked directly to the blog) but if anyone has any comments to share with any other member after reading their writing then it would be lovely if an ask is left for them in their own message box. If you’d like to anonymously give feedback for something then send an anon to the network specifying which writing you mean and your comments. Constructive criticism is great, but if we find anything rude or hurtful we will not post it. 

Formatting 

If your writing is over 500 words please put a keep reading cut off

If nsfw, please try keep most of it under the keep reading cut off 

Specify if your writing is NSFW 

I hope everyone enjoys being part of this network, we will work hard to make it a nice, safe, and productive environment for everyone to share there writings! If you have any questions please message us.

Milky Way

I decided to write a short drabble for Jimin’s birthday. It was inspired by Serendipity and The Little Prince. I am by no means an expert writer, nor is English my first language. But I hope you’ll like it.

{Park Jimin Drabble, 624 words}

Jimin was stuck. It was the clearest night of the fall as he was hiking, dragging his feet step by step on top of the nearest hill.

“Just a few more steps, and I’ll be there”, he said.

The snow was slowly falling and covering his reddened cheeks as he was panting to reach his destination. The warmth of his breath clouded the air with every step he took and the snow on which he walked was thick and very soft. His boots were getting stuck with every move he made walking forwards, as he was almost knee deep into snow. Although he was physically extremely fit, he underestimated the task of carrying a large telescope in his hands, hugging it tight on his chest, trying to keep his balance and hoping he wasn’t going to fall.

His body, wrapped into a soft, warm winter jacket and wool scarf made him look like a big blue marshmallow stubbornly marching ahead with a mission.

He simply wanted to see the stars.

In Seoul seeing stars clearly, was nearly impossible, as the air was really polluted all year long. But this night was something special, the sky was clear and beautiful, something completely miraculous, It was odd. Not to mention, it was his birthday.

“Snow in October, that’s a first”, he muttered to himself, stubbornly pushing forwards.

The black fuzzy hat he wore was too big for him and kept sliding down covering his eyes, so he kept fixing it, over and over again. He was clearly annoyed at this point, but the determination to do this right, and to do it now, was big. There was no point of returning, the only way was up.

He stumbled a few times, swinging from left to right, his eyes getting bigger every time the telescope almost met the frozen ground. He kept biting his luscious frozen lips and pressing them together so they wouldn’t be completely frozen and kept scrunching his nose, trying to mend an annoying itch.

The snow covered bench was right in front of him, just a few more steps and the top of the hill in the palm of his hands. There was a certain glow in his eyes when he realised there was nobody around and he could finally be alone. No noise, no people.

He slowly took his final step, pushing himself further, where the path was steep, a bit more dangerous and the snow was frozen over.

He slipped.

The life flashed before his eyes as he saw his precious telescope leaving his embrace, now lying in the snow before him.

“No, oh God. Not my telescope”, he said, panicked.

This is the fastest Jimin had ever moved. He charged to pick himself for the ground, dusting away the snow that was stuck on his clothes, and grabbed the beautiful bronze coloured telescope from the bag and into his embrace. He squeezed it tightly like it was the most precious thing in the whole wide world, caressing the lense praying nothing cracked. And nothing did, but he was still feeling defeated.

He was trying to stick the tripod legs into the frozen ground, but the energy wasn’t there anymore. Although he was tired, this was a big wish of his and he had a lot of determination. So he tried again and again.

Finally, all was set.

He took a deep breath, preparing himself for the magic on the other side. When he looked through the telescope, a quiet gasp escaped his mouth. Nothing was broken, everything was just fine.

The view was amazing, he had never seen so many beautiful, glowing and even shooting stars. It was like the universe gave him the most magnificent gift he had ever received.

As he stood there, freezing, the happiness he felt kept him warm and save. For every shooting star, he made a wish for people he loved, his family and his friends, for his dreams and goals. For him.

And so the little prince stood there, not wanting to leave, not even the cold moved his body as he was looking at the beauty that was so close, but so far away. He smiled so sweetly, even the moon got overshadoved by his brightness.

“I wonder,” he said, “whether the stars are set alight in heaven so that one day each one of us may find his own again… (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry- The Little Prince)

Happy Birthday, Park Jimin!

I wanted to hold you as close as the sea caresses the white sand, as close as the wind embraces birds in flight

oh, my heart it aches with desire fantasies incomparable

to your mere existence
