Interesting! I, myself, am also a fan of pop-groups but not as big as some people are. They do inspire me but I'm not all so crazy about them. Although, I've got to admit that your story has true facts about several crazy fans in. Was it done a bit after DBSK? Or did you put in mixed k-pop groups? Keep going!.

Loving your writing style as usual. Very delicate and artfully crafted. Solid consistent writing with a very comfortable pace. Not too slow, not rushed, just simple and regular rhythm. Nice concept/set up as well. Personally, i'm a "fanboy" into kpop celebs as well, so this rings true to my heart. haha. I'd jump at any opportunity to meet or hang out with my favourite stars :< Esp with the drama I've been watching which is inspiring my music dreams again. > < I digress. Anyway, welcome to the cellphone novel movement. looking forward to keeping in touch and working together to push forward the movement in North America. Keep writing! I'd love to see more! -takatsu.

So interesting to read what goes on in the mind of a fan. I know because I'm a major fan of Wong Faye. I even married a Japanese girl that looks like her. I would be considered some strange foreigner to her no doubt and would be avoided. J-pop stars and C-pops I think meet so many people each day that fans become a sea of faces even when there is several moments one on one. I would love to see this go in that direction. The main character getting into a real relationship with her idol, discovering all of his flaws, maybe his troubled past. Conflict between best friends and what the main character is striving for will take this story to the next level. Put up every imaginable blockade for your main character to overcome. It's how she overcomes these walls that will keep us reading, how she uses her intelligence to overcome obstacles that keeps us in suspense. I like the main character, though I'm much older now, I was there once, idolizing my favorite bands. This is normal at a young age to fall for successful pop stars. Keep writing and editing your work, so far it is really awesome ! And thanks for sharing your writing. .

This isn't usually the kind of story I like, but your writing is great, and I really love your characters, they're like real people..

This is my dream: to see Angel of the Five Heavenly Kings smile at me. My new friend Hana can make that dream a reality. Like me, she idolizes the Five Heavenly Kings. And she is determined to make their leader, Hyesung, recognize her. No matter what it takes. As I follow Hana, I can see recognition in Angel's eyes. But he isn't smiling at me...

Foreword/Preface

This story is directly inspired by the wonderful and often crazy phenomenon of Asian idol groups and the intensely loving fans who follow them. I am a fan of such idol groups myself. More so than Hollywood stars and other Western celebrities, they appear basically perfect: good-looking, talented (or passably so), charming, always kind and polite no matter what criticism or harsh treatment may come their way. But because they aren't allowed to show their bad side, there's always something unreal about them. I can't help but wonder, what's on the other side of the sparkle? And what about the admiring fans who devote all their hopes and dreams to these idols that they might never get to even touch? What happens when reality shatters their castles in sky?

I will try to write this story as a cell-phone novel because the format intrigues me. Try being the operative word--I’ve always written stories with very long chapters. So now, writing chapters limited to 1,000 characters (my own mobile phone's limit) will be my challenge to myself. I will update every weekday, barring unusual circumstances. For sure, simply writing short chapters does not make a cell-phone novel, but I'm hoping to get a better grasp of the format as I continue to write. Please critique and offer suggestions. Thank you.

Chapter 1:- Exchange Student

“I am Melody Fernandez. I am pleased to meet you.”

The moment I speak, the other students know I’m foreign. But the absence of blond hair and blue eyes gives them no reason to fawn over me.

Between classes I sit alone, blending in the sea of dark hair and Oriental faces. I stay silent, failing to understand their lively chatter, woefully aware that my language classes haven’t been able to prepare me for real-life interaction.

“A fan of the Five Heavenly Kings?” She speaks in respectable English, her manicured hand tracing the outline of the boyband’s button pinned on my rucksack.

I blink, surprised that this stylish, pretty girl would talk to me.

She tilts her head expectantly, her glossy chin-length hair catching the sunlight.

I nod. “They are my idols.”

“I’m Lee Hana. I also idolize the Five Heavenly Kings.” She smiles.

It’s the first smile I’ve received since I entered the university. She looks as bright as the Five Heavenly Kings in my eyes.
