For the One I Love || Hanji x Female Reader

Author Confessions

Just random confessions that I wanted to share with my readers ;)

I almost didn't continue writing For the One I Love
- There were (and are still) times when I happen to read discouraging comments, and it gets to me sometimes hahaha there was a point when I almost wanted to just delete it altogether but then, I see my supportive readers' comments and it does wonders - you guys truly give me the motivation to go on❤️ (special thanks to @SuuTsunnorri for always checking in on me, I don't know what I'd do without you❤️)

- It was so hard trying to please everyone - to write a main character that was relatable to everyone. So I gave up trying HAHAHA I don't know if you guys noticed, but chapters 16 onward have a different 'feel' than the previous chapters.

I don't have a plotline
- Yup, your author is winging it - until recently, when I wanted to gauge how many chapters are there left HAHAHA

I listen to music every time I write a chapter, so all chapters have a 'theme song'😉
- When I said that each chapter had their 'theme songs' - it's not necessarily for the whole chapter, most of the time, just certain parts of it:

C1 - Let the Darkness Take Control - Unknown Brain x Rival (feat. Jex)
C2 - You Know My Name - Chris Cornell
C3 - Courtesy Call - Thousand Foot Krutch
C4 - Intoxicated - The Cab
C5 - Everytime - Chen and Punch (Descendants of the Sun OST)

C8 - Crazier - Taylor Swift
C9 - Water Under the Bridge - Adele
C10 - Writing's on the Wall - Sam Smith
C11 - when the party's over - Billie Eilish
C12 - 8 Letters - Why Don't We
C13 - I Almost Do - Taylor Swift
C14 - Heartache - ONE OK ROCK (the chapter title was taken from this song)/Someone You Loved - Lewis Capaldi
C15 - Treat You Better - Shawn Mendes
C16 - Out of My League - Stephen Speaks
C17 - It's You - Henry (While You Were Sleeping OST)
C18 - New Divide - Linkin Park
C19 - Missing - Evanescence
C20 - You Found Me - The Fray
C21 - Can I Be Him - James Arthur

C28 - you should see me in a crown - Billie Eilish
C29 - This is War - Thirty Seconds to Mars/Vegas Skies - The Cab

Levi wasn't part of the original plan
- But yeah one day I woke up and thought 'I should include him just for the fun (and heartbreak) of it' [I promise to make it up to him in the Levi x Fem Reader fic I'll be writing soon!]

I thought a lot of times on what Hanji's 'flaw' should be because I don't want any of the characters to be 'perfect'
- Up until now, I'm still seeing 'backlash' over how indecisive they were in the first half of the story hahahaha but I figured that it would be suitable for Hanji's character here, since I wanted it to be consistent with their 'first time falling in love' story - after all, love is confusing lol

For the One I Love and Secret Romantic are somewhat connected
- I am hopelessly in love with them and I actually wrote Secret Romantic with the thought of Reincarnation in mind - Secret Romantic is the next life of Y/N and Hanji from For the One I Love

In Chapter 29, Levi said "No. They're both making each other happy - I can't take that away from them just because of the way I feel. Besides, this is the last time I'll allow myself to feel this way towards another person." when asked by Erwin if he planned on acting on the way he felt towards Y/N - I actually said this in real life
- HAHAHAHA soooo yeah, there was this person that I liked for seven years (and I actually confessed to them thrice, not with the intent of them liking me back, but I just wanted to let them know how I felt about them). And in the end I kept thinking, that if the only way to keep them in my life is to be friends with them, then I'll take it. Up until now we're still friends, and I'm more than grateful for it❤️

The next chapter after this 'author confessions' part is the angst chapter - and I'm having one hell of a time writing it HAHAHA
- I might be able to update much later😞 I'm so sorry😞

I started writing this story years back because...there were almost none of it back then
- I've been fangirling over Hanji for a long time now HAHAHA and I really had a hard time finding Hanji x Fem reader fics - most of them were already discontinued or deleted. So I thought, 'Why not make one?'...and here we are😉

I didn't expect that this story would have a lot of readers
- I SWEAR I'M SO HAPPY THAT WE ALL LOVE HANJI HERE❤️

I always cram my chapters
- I know I said that I'll update every Sunday as much as possible, but I don't know why I can't get it through my thick skull that I should write the chapter ahead of time so I won't cram, but every single time, I always write (and wing) my chapters every Sunday morning, and post it in the evening HAHAHAHA

Chapters 15 and 16 have a certain disconnect to them - it was as if there was a chapter missing between them
- I took a hiatus after writing chapter 15, and when I wrote chapter 16...I forgot what I was feeling when I was writing the previous chapter HAHAHAHA sorry :((

I'm thinking of revising some chapters after I finish writing this story
- My younger self has written some ehh scenes HAHAHA and I also want to check if I left some plot holes

I actually considered Erwin (instead of Levi) as Hanji's rival over Y/N
- I'm sorry, but Erwin is hot af HAHAHAH. I went against the idea because idk if I'll be able to do justice in writing him

I love you all, really❤️
