#and remember! there is no red in dca radio host au :) /inside joke

chat would you still read video killed the radio star (DCA radio host AU) if i rewrote it without the x reader?

explanation on the current state of VKTRS and why i'm considering this change below! dont vote bunny choice pleas that's just so i can see the poll results

so! chapter 3 has taken a ridiculously long time, and i'm going to be completely honest;

it's because i am not enjoying writing an x reader. i don't like writing from a you/yours perspective, i don't enjoy writing a faceless character and that's impacting my drafting for the story, because i'm just... not enjoying it!! i'm not a selfshipper (aromantic with a complete disinterest in romance) and im not a fan of reading x readers, which is making it even harder for me, because i am producing something i myself wouldn't read

and in a sense that's my own fault, because i thought i had to do an x reader to succeed. but i don't want to produce a poorly done end product that i'm not satisfied with in the name of attention and success. i want to create something that has passion in the heart of it and something that i'm proud of!!

i don't want my fic to be a chore. i want it to be a passion project that you can tell i'm excited for. i don't have my heart in the first two chapters of vktrs and i think you can tell, and i don't want that! i don't want that to be all you see of my writing! moral of the story is; new creators for the DCA fandom, please don't think you have to do an x reader to succeed. create the fiction you want to see, not what you think other people want to see. do not pull a bunny!

so, with that said, what's my plan?

i'm gonna be honest! i don't know, at least not yet! maybe i'll remove the x reader and have it be sun x moon! maybe i'll replace the x reader with an OC, though you can certainly still put yourself in their position! the story remains reasonably the same; a 30 chapter horror/mystery/romance fic about 80s robot radio hosts! perhaps with more of a horror flare, perhaps with more dysfunctional toxic yaoi (because it's a bunny fic those are my two skills), but it will follow a very similar plot!! just it will not be an x reader and it will not be written from a you/yours perspective, because that's just not me!! that's not what i want to write or what i want to read!!

of course, this banks on the outcome of the poll!! but if it ends in a no, then at least you guys know about the current state of the radio host AU and why it's been so slow going!! apologies for the ramble, this has been on my chest for quite a long time

i just hope the end result will be something both you and i will love!! no matter what, i promised VKTRS will be finished, and i intend to live up to that no matter how long it will take. (i just need to beat my procrastination over the head with a bat to actually get things done either way...)
