My final exams are next week, and I'm currently drowning in anxiety and greasy food as I tend to stress eat during midterms and finals. Be that as it may, I've read your comments and messages. Thank you so much for your patience and kind conversations. Please look forward to more updates starting next Saturday. (Yes, P.o.P is finally getting a long awaited update! Spoiler alert, it's one of the longest chapters in the story. Hence why it took so long for me to update it.)
          
          P.S.-- For all the babes that love and stan ATEEZ, I have a surprise for you coming very soon. 

Good morning/after/evening lovely people! I've been working hard in school and have missed writing on wattpad terribly. Thankfully, spring break is around the corner, and I'm making it a priority to get caught up on updating my stories. A quick change I want to run by you is that I've changed my username. For the first time since I made this profile in 2013...crazy right? I decided to change it now, because I'm in the process of planning and plotting out a relaunch of my personal brand as an author. As much as I've come to love writing fanfiction over the last two years, it's not a genre I can write forever. Recently, I got word that some of my poetry is being published in a literary magazine founded by my school, and I got a nice bit of prize money along with publication. I say that to say poetry has almost always been something in the background since I started my college days. I suppose, naturally, as I mature so does my work and writing style. I'm creating a new Wattpad profile for poetry, as well as short stories and previous novel drafts that have been hidden for years. On that profile will also be stories I've unpublished on this one. By no means does this mean I'm not writing fanfiction anymore. There's still a whole lotta concepts in the drafts I'm pushing to get out this year. But I do hope that many of you will support my work in other genres outside of fanfiction. Thank you always for your patience and understanding! See you later. ~AKM (now @AKPOPFANFICS, and don't worry about the book covers. They'll be changed shortly!)

Good morning/afternoon/evening lovely readers of Wattpad. First of all, thank you to everyone who read and voted for my work this year. 2023 has been a challenge to get through for me, and more than anything I wish I could've written more. A lot of ideas and concepts I had for fanfiction, poetry, and short stories didn't come to pass like I wanted them to. But they're still in the drafts, and hopefully in this upcoming year I'll find a way to rework those ideas and write something great for you. I'm not good at keeping new years resolutions, because halfway through the year I more than likely forget them or change them into something more realistic. Therefore, with me going back to school in two weeks and still being in between jobs, I won't say that I'm going to find consistent time to write every day. I also can't promise that my update schedule will remain the same. What I can say, realistically, is that at least two stories I have out now will be finished by the end of 2024. My passion for writing and storytelling won't be pushed to the side so easily. No matter how busy I get, writing will always be something I enjoy doing and hope to build a career off of in the future. Until the next update, thank you all for your patience and support. Please have a safe, healthy, and prosperous new year. I purple you! ~AKM

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y'all! 

Thank you for adding my book to your favorite list. Appreciate it ❤️

Good morning/afternoon/evening wonderful people of Wattpad. In honor of November being National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), I had plans of challenging myself to write a complete novel through the end of the month. But considering that last week I got a readmission email confirming that I'm going back to school in January to finish my undergrad degree, I'll likely spend the remainder of this week frantically making calls and emails to prepare for the continuation of my college days after TWO gap years. Nevertheless, I still have multiple things in the drafts that I want to share with my readers. So instead of trying to write a full novel, I'm challenging myself to update more often than usual. I don't want to promise updates every day, knowing how hectic life is treating me right now. But I will say that beyond the stress of returning to school and trying to find employment outside of the toxic ass work environment my mental health is currently suffering in, there's quite a bit of writing being done. In addition to updating stories already out, this month you might see me post bits and snippets of new content in different genres. I'm also debating whether or not, I should republish some of my old stuff. (For those who've been following me for years, think back to the terrible cliches I typed as a teenager...yeah I cringe thinking about it too sometimes.) But that might be a debate for another day. I do hope y'all look forward to the new content, as I'm genuinely excited to share it with you. As always, thank you for the support. I purple you! ~a.k.m.

First of all, HAPPY JIMIN DAY. Secondly, I apologize for the late update on Expensive Boy. I had some technical difficulties and had to rewrite a few parts that were cut out. Nevertheless, it's up and reposted in its entirety. So please enjoy it. Also, in honor of Jimin's birthday, The Prince of Paldogangsan is *finally* getting updated after a much needed hiatus to rework the plotline for the story. Thank you all for your patience. I purple you!! ~a.k.m.

I'm eight, almost nine, days late saying this but Happy Pride/ Festa Month to all the queer ARMYs and our allies as well! I still don't have a clue how I'm going to celebrate Festa this year because (1) a vast majority of my ARMY friends live long distances away from me and (2) I feel like this year's Festa just won't be the same without Jin and Hobi as they're both serving their military service right now. Nevertheless, Bangtan's 10th anniversary is a special occasion that's being recognized on every platform including this one. As such, I'm preparing to publish another fanfiction on June 13th to commemorate the occasion of Bangtan's debut. Yes, I know. I'm *cough cough* extremely late on updating P.o.P and Anpanman. I've had to tweek the plotlines of both while working more hours at my retail job. Hence why it's taking so long to update. But I appreciate your patience and all the kind words I've gotten in my DMs. I hope the rest of this month continues to be adventurous and amazing for all of us. I purple you. ~a.k.m.

Currently suffering from a severe case of writer's block, which sucks considering the number of drafted concepts I have in mind to write next. This not only applies to fanfiction, but short stories I've been meaning to finish before I publish them in full. I'm worried I might be overworking myself, but this passion never sleeps. My insomnia has left my sleep schedule in shambles, as well as the late night hours I work for my crappy job. Yet, my creativity continues to move forward. Thanks to everyone sending me positive comments in my DMs on here and social media. I appreciate all of you! -akm.

My apologies for the lack of update on Anpanman last night (and p.o.p last Saturday). My work schedule has been a bit hectic lately, and it's hard finding time to stay motivated to write when I'm finally away from work. Anpanman will be double updated next Wednesday for all your troubles. Thanks in advance for your patience. I purple you. ~akm
