nct writers recs. [pt.1]

hey guys, this is a masterlist of all the nct writers on tumblr that i absolutely adore.

their works are amazing yet some of them still remain underappreciated. i hope we can change that and give these wonderful writers more of the appreciation they deserve.

don’t forget to reblog their fics and send them feedback if you can!

and since tumblr only allows a max of 50 mentions per post there will be a part 2 following this :) i will link it here once i post it.

usernames are arranged alphabetically. blogs with some stories that contain explicit sexual content will be separated from those who do not by a paragraph break. some of them write for other groups as well.

GOD viv you know you’re really out there trying to make me cry or something… your kind words always knock me off my feet <333 thank you so much for mentioning me!

favorite fics/authors you've read?

ahh anon thanks for this question!

i don't read a lot of fanfiction on nct writerblr since a lot of it's quite short for me, and i'm someone that likes to immerse myself in longer works. that being said, i have a few authors who i can recommend that truly make my experience on this site unique!:

@insomni-writing - i've only read "prodosia" and she and i have briefly talked about what's to come with the series, but overall she was able to captivate me with 2k words of an introduction. i've stated in my review of "prodosia" that somni's writing style is very "old school," and it reminds me of the greats such as dostoyevsky. she is a writer that captures imagery as if she's planting works of art in your head, and the way she uses words to paint a picture is honestly one of the best i've ever seen so far.

@wincore - i know she isn't active anymore but reading "atlas" has brought me back to writing on this site. her pacing is really good, and every word felt like a movie. it was so easy for me to visualize what was going on for each portion/chapter of the fic, and the only way i could describe her writing is fluid. there's so much fluidity to the way she uses words and i'm frankly in absolute awe and adoration for her style.

@neonun-au - please read "ritual." i've written a pretty long review of it on my fic rec blog, @dhoyagaorecs, and i stand by what i say when i tell you that mads is an incredibly prolific storyteller. with the introduction alone, she's able to pull you in to the world and setting of the story, and she keeps you hooked with each plot progression. the way she builds suspense in the fic too has one of the best pacing i've seen so far on this site, and the symbols she weaves into the fic is just breathtakingly immaculate.

@jungwooisms - i've yet to write a review for "gekokujou" but anon, please read it. she's a writer i admire with a single work alone, because she's able to, in my opinion, accurately portray historical fiction in a way that feels so real. she's able to craft a world i've never been in and make me live in it. from reading the intro of "hwarang," i can personally come to the conclusion that historical works are her strong suit. i'm pretty sure she does heaps of research to make sure each word fits the setting, and i admire her for that.

@zhongriot - "summer daze" is her magnum opus. she writes heartbreak and dialogue in the most real and scarringly painful way possible. i have a personal bias towards it since the situation in the fic is something i empathize with so well, but for her to communicate the characters' emotions so well at such a young age deserves a standing ovation. truly, she's just begun, and i'm sure if she keeps writing she'll be able to reach further heights.

@odentist - i haven't written a review for "love me harder" yet, and if you're a minor please don't interact with any of her works. if you're not, however, yuri is the writer for you. it's a breath of fresh air to have such dark themes written with so much emotional weight, and i love how most of her fics have a sense of realism in terms of dialogue. when i read "love me harder," i could hear the characters speak to me as if i was in the same room as them, idly watching, if that makes sense.

@nakamotocore - i know i say i read longer works, but to be honest, ie is a writer for you if you want beautiful, bite-sized works that are easily digestible. i know a lot of us are quite busy with our lives, but ie's blurbs have so much intensity and weight to them despite having such a short word count. if that type of thing is up your alley, i suggest giving her collection a binge. she's an enigma.

the list above are authors i've read from, but i'm yet to immerse myself in other fascinating writers' works such as @radiorenjun, @lebrookestore, and @byutafy. from stalking their masterlist, i was able to find so many works that i really wanna get into, such as brooke's "love shot" and "supporting characters," angie's "my first and last" and "twisted strings," and fei's "seoul 2463" series. please check them out too! from the summaries in their masterlist alone, i'm sure you're able to immediately go on a binge of their works!

from brooke, i've read a fic called "five star michelin" that i'm currently writing a review for. i'll get back to you once i finish collecting all my thoughts for that fic, but for now all i'm gonna say is that i highly recommend giving it a read.

@junepops also has a fic called "menagerie" that i really want to read, and will get onto reading when i have the time to do so. please check it out when you can!

another author that has caught my eye is @yangyangify who, like me, writes in third-person on the site. i've yet to read her works, but so far, "silver" is also a fic i've been meaning to read. please check her out too!

 ҉ 　心の実 | kokonomi network

Established on July 1st, 2021, this network is an NCT safe-for-work exclusive writing community that aims to build a safe space for readers of all ages. Writers who wish to connect with each other are also more than welcome to apply and have their works shared to the masses. 

Decisions to extend our reach to other groups is still tentative, and this will most likely depend on the quantity of staff willing to work for us. For now, though, writers wishing to apply will have to write for NCT. You can write for multiple groups, but for now, we will only be queuing + reblogging your NCT works under the #kokonomi tag.

We divide the genre of our members’ works in four seasons:

春 | Spring: Pure fluff, mostly romantic

夏 | Summer: Excitement, adrenalin-rushes, thrillers, college!tropes, some suggestive content

秋 | Autumn: Hurt/comfort, coming of age, slow burn, angst with a happy end, etc.

冬 | Winter: Pure angst, hurt, darker themes such as death and grief

 ҉ 　規則 | rules

Always be kind and respectful to the entire community. For as long as you are associated with this network, you technically represent us both in and out of kokonomi. Sukie and Vivian both adhere to a strict zero tolerance policy, so that means if you either bully or harass the members and the staff, your membership will be revoked immediately. 

To keep your membership in kokonomi, you must post at least one fic per season. We know you have lives outside of the internet, and the least you could do is, for example, post a single fic in the summer, autumn, winter, then spring. That would total to about four fics in a year, and that would be the bare minimum in order to keep your membership.

Please tag your works correctly. Kokonomi was created as a platform to share and allow sfw works to reach a wider audience, so do not even think about deliberately cross-tagging. 

When you post your work, please write the appropriate content warnings, word count, and pairings. Aforementioned, kokonomi deals in sfw fics only, so if your fic has suggestive scenes or tackle heavy, dark topics, please apply the necessary trigger/content warnings in your work. 

All genres are welcome, as long as they fit the sfw criteria, which is basically “no smut/pwp.”

If your work exceeds 0.5k, then please apply a keep reading cutoff in your work. 

Plagiarism is unacceptable and evidence in doing so will result in an immediate termination of your membership.

answer: Love is a pair.

҉ 　メール | inbox

Our inbox is always opened if ever you have any inquiries about the network.

I’ve been silent for too long and can no longer bear to keep this inside: @insomni-writing is a good person and deserves many good things.

[insomni-writing]

coming back to this after a month of talking more and discovering the parallels in our lives, i’d hope you’d rank me in a nastier spot than i got in may, but never as nasty as mia <3 :* xoxo

list your moots from the most annoying evil to the most peaceful baby?😌

uhhh thanks for this anon!! tbh i’m fairly new here and everyone’s been real nice to me for now but i’ll try LMAO

THE OFFSPRING OF SATAN 

@en-see-tee the short jokes istg LEAVE MY HEIGHT ALONE ;-; like i would have ranked you much lower ffs i should’ve never revealed my height

@zhongriot ever since she gained access to my instagram-

@hyuckdove i mean we literally just started talking and being moots and she roasts me. i can sense the pure chaotic evil in her

@kopikokun so far it’s peaceful between us but there’s an evil lurking in arin. i can smell it.

@seularcade baka energy. not evil to me yet but the chaos i see on the dash points towards it

@10102000 i mean aside from the rather violent jokes on jumping biases she seems alright. for now

@insomni-writing tbh all we do is talk about games or music but idk if the legends are true and we are as similar as we sound then the roasts are gonna be painful

@stayinzencity uWu. you’re uWu, too uWu to the point where there must be some hidden thirst for violence somewhere...

@renhyucks ate mahal kita <3 pero minsan yung brain mo super unholy <3

@subways-stuff judging from the brief encounters on discord and our occasional talks on the dash you seem rly nice <3

@itsapapisongo javi!!! i can’t keep up with your marvel talks but you’re cool l;kasjdf;!!! i really enjoy the cultural exchanges we have and so far you’re not mean to me unlike mia so yeah

@mieohmy jae is a sweetheart. nuff said.

@saltaeyong bonnie is a literal angel how are you real

THE EMBODIMENT OF CHILDLIKE INNOCENCE 

i don’t think i missed anyone but if you’re a hurt moot please shout me out and tell me i’m horrible on the dash. thanks. 

[insomni-writing]

[insomni-writing]

BREAD + JAEHYUN ❤️ 🍞

[insomni-writing]

why would you just reveal that i’m a ro- a roma— 🤢🤢 sorry i can’t say it

thanks for making me think of jaehyun though, i needed that dude in my brain tonight

Ship your moots with kpop boys? I always find it so entertaining to see who people select heh.

ohohohoho anonnie you’ve given me the perfect break activity since i’ve been agonizing over my wips. also i’m sorry that they’re most likely all gna be nct. 

@en-see-tee with hyuck. she’s a little shit but i feel like hyuck can shut her up once and for all. they’d bully each other as their love language. they also have an extremely soft and caring side underneath the evil, which negates all the bullying they'd do to each other. like one second they're calling each other insults and the next they're crying on the floor telling one how much they love the other.

@zhongriot and lele. look i’m not saying this because lele’s her bias, but i feel like they’d make a great couple. they’re not evil, they’re just loud and annoying. they also have their personal brand of humor that fits well. lele changing his bubble to "daddy <3" sounds like something janna would do.

@insomni-writing with jaehyun. museum dates, coffee by the thames, all that romantic stuff. somni and jae i feel are romantics at heart, so it’s natural that i pair them together. 

@hyuckdove with shotaro. you both do dance, and you’d probably take ulzzang couple photos by the riverbank together. matching outfits are also something i can definitely see. idk you probably know what i’m talking about but thrifting at shimokitazawa, strolling through omotesando - you get the drill. 

@m-monstax with jungwoo. chaotic. speaks to each other in memes and will probably do a birds of paradise styled mating dance in the middle of the street after seeing it on bbc nature or sth. 

@stayinzencity with jisung. both of you can be shy at first, but i feel like you’d be the chillest couple ever once you get comfortable. vivi is also a certified uwu girl, and i’m picturing a lot of arcade dates where he tries to win a plushie for you. 

@renhyucks with taeyong. ate you need someone to take care of you and make sure you’re okay, while giving you enough space for you to focus on yourself. deep talks with taeyong while he tells you everything will be alright in the end is something i can definitely see. 

@kopikokun with xuxi. i feel like arin would benefit from a himbo who’d laugh at her jokes 24/7 365. ngl arin’s snarkiness and her love language being clowning xuxi while he just allows her to would be a cute dynamic. 

@itsapapisongo with kunhang. oh man you two are very chaotic. not the chaotic evil with tai and snoopy, but a good kind. impulse-buying spidersuits and proudly walking around the streets in them, trying to shoot web by spraying each other with silly strings, only to immaturely laugh at the euphemism. great match indeed. 

@saltaeyong with jaemin. i don’t mean to offend her, but bonnie seems like a girl with a glass heart. knowing jaemin, i’m sure he’ll take care of you and make you feel special when you’re feeling like you’re at your worst. 

@doievoir with the one and only doyoung. i’m sensing power couple vibes here since yin, you sound very feisty with the “independent woman” energy.

these are the ones i talk to the most, so i have a better grasp of their personalities and whatnot. i’m sorry if my answers are underwhelming <33

[insomni-writing]

books + countryside walks 

[insomni-writing]

i can’t even say how damn sexy all of this is gonna be?? like count me in times 1000??? VIV, you feed us so well and for that i love you 🥴🥴

CONFIRMED UPCOMING WORKS

copyright disclaimer: © dhoya 2021. please do not repost, copy, or translate any of my works.

i wanna build hype lol and i feel like this would pressure me into writing LMAO. inspired by @/alreadyblondenow’s mega teaser

excluding my series because those are just stuff i’ll do in my own time. honestly i have terrible commitment issues so i might do one-off works only from now on.

tagging: @hyuckdove @en-see-tee @insomni-writing @zhongriot aka the people who constantly give me so much motivation to write. thanks for all the encouragement love y'all lots.
