To me, as of the fact that we see fewer and fewer appearances of the girls on TV, the only thing that keeps us from wandering far can be
1) their Instagram account - update of their life. Or anything social-media they are using to communicate with us.
2) concerts - but really, how many SONEs actually get the chance. We have to rely on substandard fancams (but not complaining)
3) Past shows / appearances - thanks to the uploaders for these old goodies
4) Fan fictions - for those who have an OTP
I know a dozen of people who while do not hate SNSD, SNSD no longer inspires or excites them. Myself included - Sure, put SNSD in front of me & I will be trying to contain my excitement, but thing is, I no longer scour
soshified or
snsdkorean or even
allkpop for news. Uploaders I subscribed to on youtube are either no longer active, or had their account suspended. And see? A lot of us.... we grew older as the girls did. We started working. We have another half. We are juggling between family, friends, work and enjoyment. Celebrity gossips are now entitled to 5% of our life, compared to 30% when we were heck'bored studying.
Anyhow, to show appreciations to all the authors and the 9 girls, I have put together a list of my favorite pairing (Taeyeon & Jessica -> Taengsic!) fanfics, mostly from Soshified. These are the ones that I found to be really good, that given a chance, I would re-read them over and over. There are just talented writers out there and thank goodness they write Taengsic! HAHA, as dead/overrated as the pairing is...
hellooooo there, we're all still here ~~
P.s. I merely attached those I find good and have read (and still find-able... some are lost, like "I'll Marry You Because They Told Me So" :/ whatever happened?! ). You can click on the author's profile to find more of their content :)
