There is this wonderful person online on Twitter called 𝐉𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐌𝟎𝟎, whose fan-made trailer inspired me to create this book. The following video is the trailer they made. It is spectacular and really awesome! Please show them a lot of love. All credits to 𝐉𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐌𝟎𝟎! ❤️ 

They even created this awesome graphic edit (see below). I just wanted to link these two things here, because they truly are soooo well-made.  OOOOF THE TALENT!!! 🛐

© All credits to 𝐉𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐌𝟎𝟎 for these awesome edits!

ALTHOUGH THE TRAILER IS NOTHING LIKE THIS BOOK, I was still inspired by it, and hence I would like to give credit where it is due. 【P.S. If 𝐉𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐌𝟎𝟎 sees this and would like me to take their edits down, please give me a message! I will immediately remove them. I'd still mention you though because you really did inspire me ^v^】

I was also heavily influenced by Kdramas like Sweet Home and All of Us are Dead (which coincidentally Seungmin mentioned in Bubble that he too was watching). Not to mention in one of Hyunjin's solo live, he was also talking about All of Us are Dead and imagining SKZ inside an apocalyptic world (spoiler or is it: he thinks they would all die 😆).  And after seeing them as ZOMBIES in their Maniac <special zombie ver. dance practice> video, I was just itching to make a dystopian fic.  

There were too many signs, all too soon, and somehow someway, all of them just combined in some mysterious way and inspired my brain to produce an entire 5-part story, lmao. Frankly, being possessed by some supernatural entity is the only explanation for what has happened to me. 

And so I have been working on this fic diligently for almost more than a year now. I am so excited to start publishing it. I really hope you enjoy reading this, as much as I have loved working on it!

Just a small reminder: you can read SLUMP on either Wattpad or Archive of our Own. 

I would recommend Wattpad for a more immersive reading experience (as I use media quite fluidly), and AO3 for offline/downloading purposes. Feel free to switch here and there! 

HOWEVER, PLEASE BE INFORMED that Wattpad is always updated first, and AO3 is updated a day later. If you want to read a new chap asap, then wattpad is where you will find it at the earliest! This is only because its easier to use Wattpad to write lol.

A clearer posting schedule will soon be communicated. As for now:

PROLOGUE   —   published!
Chapter 1  —   AUGUST 1, 2024

I was thinking that I'll update the first Saturday of each month on Wattpad, and the following Sunday on Ao3. There will be one chapter every month, but these chapters will be obscenely long and can be divided into 4-5 chaps easy lol so its a hefty update ^^

AS FOR SOCIALS, I have a TWITTER where I am gonna start updating on how the fic is coming along, post about schedule changes, WIPs, chat / hang out with you all, and just vibe. Come talk to me @INNIFINITY !!!!
