Hello, hello...

This is my first post on LJ. It's a new year, so I thought I'd try something new. I'm running out of places to express myself these days. I find it easier to talk to a whole new audience since my friends, boyfriend, family all read my blog. So this will be my secret place ^_^

Well... I'll be narcissistic for a minute now, and talk about me...

Annyeonghaseyo... my name is Sierra. I'm a writer, and I wanna be a pop star :P I've been writing my epic fan-girl fantasy, 'What would have been, my Korean romance', otherwise known as MKR, for the past 2 years. If you're a TVXQ fan, you might have stumbled onto it at least once while hunting for articles on TVXQ.

Other than MKR, which is my longest running fiction, I have completed 2 other long fics; Helpless, starring Jun Su & Yoo Chun of TVXQ and I Have Not Forgotten, starring Han Kyung of Super Junior. They're not as popular as MKR, but nevertheless, they'd had their share of loyal readers ^_^ I'm naturally long-winded when writing, but I have managed to reel myself in and write some one shots. You can find my short story collection here.

Unfinished works... I have a few of those. My perpetually abandoned fiction, Can't Say... (I Love You), starring Kim Jeong Hoon (Goong) and TVXQ, and the currently running high school romance, Dae Sang High (대상고), starring Kim Jae Wook (Coffee Prince) and Han Kyung, Si Won, Dong Hae, Hee Chul, Sung Min and Shin Dong of Super Junior. It looks like I try to do too much... I know that. It's always easy to start, but it's a challenge to finish :)

I would recommend I Have Not Forgotten and Dae Sang High (대상고) if you're looking for a good read, but if you're willing to spend your days trying to finish 150 over chapters, and then have to wait for me to update fortnightly, then MKR may be worth your while :D

Let's share a bit about MKR. Where did MKR come from, and why am I such a nut to keep writing it? Perhaps for the next few posts, I will talk about the fics I've written since I've never really explained my concepts and ideas to my readers.

2 years ago, I decided to try out at SM Entertainment's first auditions in Kuala Lumpur. Needless to say, I didn't make it. I was kind of dejected for awhile, but because of my undying love for music, I bounced back and discovered fan fictions along the way. I realised then that if I can't live the dream, I might as while write about it. And so, MKR was born. I told myself that for as long as this dream of mine... to become an artiste... is unfulfilled, I will keep writing, and dreaming. Sounds sad, but hey... it's life. Sometimes dreams are better than the real thing :P

Sierra is the protagonist, and my alterego. She was recruited by SM Entertainment during their 2006 auditions in Kuala Lumpur; the first and only Malaysian to have made it. She was teamed up with Skye, from Korea and Shoei from Japan to create the R&B/Pop group, S3 (S-Cube). S3 stands for the composite of their names, sierra.skye.shoei. As to where the name came from, it was an ID I'd been using for a long time, and coincidentally, it was suitable for this purpose. Skye and Shoei had been faceless characters for the past 2 years. Recently, I've found their faces, and revealed them. For Skye, I've borrowed the face of Park Jin Woo and for Shoei, the face of Park Hyo Shin. You'll need to read the story to decide if I'd made the right choice.

The story follows Sierra's life as a gasoo in South Korea. Her struggles in her career, her love life, and later on, I started to write in Skye and Shoei's POV as well. Most of the fictional characters in this story have their POVs featured at least ones. But I never feature the POVs of the 'real people' such as TVXQ or Super Junior. I won't explain why, but I will say that I just didn't feel comfortable about writing about what was in their heads since they're real people. Well, at least for this fic I'm not doing it :P

I've written songs, MV, drama, concert, photo shoot and style concepts for this fiction. It's a whole production on it's own, and I'm quite proud of it :D I hope to keep developing further, and I pray hard that I never become repetitive and boring. I want to bring something new to the table each day. My only regret now was that I didn't start writing it in LiveJournal. My readers have always asked me why didn't I write here, but I had already had more than 50 chapters on Blogger by then, and it just didn't seem worth the effort to migrate here. So... I have to suck it up >_<

Ah yes... this post seems like a blatant advertisement, but I really can't think of anyway of representing myself other than talking about my writing. Hmm... there's always my YouTube videos... which may be painful for some to watch, but if you love music, you will understand why I do it. Hehe!

I'll stop for now. I still don't know what I'll write about in the coming posts on LJ, but I'll figure something out. Maybe some philosophy... the music I've discovered, and some short stories :) Till then... maybe you might consider supporting me ^_^
