Dear Reader,

You're about to read the reboot of my very first BTS fanfic. 

It's a monster of a fic exploring BTS from pre-debut to how far they've gotten in their career. It's a member x reader story with original characters in the mix, and what I hope is a good time. 

I first released this on July 30, 2019 at the peak of one of the most stressful points of my career. I had just left my job and closed the company I'd built that ran for six years. Writing Miss Managed helped me have something to look forward to as I transitioned out of one of my unhappiest eras. I wrote over 10,000 words every week, religiously publishing every Saturday on Tumblr. But in November, I began to dip. And before Christmas, I'd encountered three traumatic trips to the emergency room in a span of three weeks. 

And to think, all this was followed by a pandemic where I lost the work I had left my old career for. But this is not to complain. This is to prove to you that I've become well enough to heal. So if you too are in a difficult place, I hope Miss Managed is a reminder that things always get better. I pray this fictional piece of BTS' rise to success is a sign of hope whenever you feel like there's no way out.

Sometimes, the only real way out is through.

To me, this fanfic is a beloved one, because after more than a year of so much hard work to be better and heal from what I believed broke me, I was able to bring back to life one of my deepest sources of joy and creative fulfillment: writing.

What you are about to read is a piece from my own heart. A fan fic that granted me the chance to get through my hard times, build enriching friendships online with complete strangers, and find my voice again.

My sincere hope is that, if you're willing, you would become a friend too somehow, or maybe find a friend to bond with over this story. And if by chance this story doesn't resonate with you, I hope you do find the stories that lift, excite, embrace, and thrill you. I'm thankful either way that you even opened my pages.

When I put Miss Managed on hiatus in November 2019, I didn't expect I'd only come back to earnestly work on continuing it in January 2020. It was only then, upon re-reading my work that I realized I no longer sounded the same. This is why, instead of continuing the original I'd posted on my Tumblr, I chose to edit through it and re-write in my new voice.

Should you finish this until it's most recent chapter, I hope you take the time to check out my other work on my profile. I'm sure I'll be uploading shorter stories while this one is running.

This fic is PRE-COMPLETED. This means that I've already written and finished the entire thing. For purposes of transparency, I chose to still upload weekly because both the WP and AO3 platforms seem to favor frequency of upload. 

Your support would be so helpful. Please do not hesitate to comment, vote/kudos, share, recommend to a friend, or even message me. Writing sometimes feels lonely. And I'm the type of writer who writes to find like-minded people. I do hope you interact somehow. 

To everyone reading this, old and new readers alike, welcome back to my little world. I wrote Miss Managed for the softest of OT7 stans who love a few plot twists and misadventures.

I hope you find something to love about how silly or fluffy it is and stick with me as we embark on an imaginary adventure grounded in a big, big love for BTS. New chapters go up every Saturday, on or before 10pm Korean Standard Time.

Good luck with the boys in this one, Miss Manager!

Much love,

Id





SUPPORT

Supporting fandom authors comes in many forms: voting, kudos-ing, commenting, sharing, recommending us to other authors or communities, and leaving meaningful feedback. 

I've been spoiled by my original readers with an outpour of feedback and I hope my new readers take time to say hi or so. Miss Managed is my biggest feat as a fandom author and knowing who reads them even if I only know you by your pseudonym or anon will mean a lot.

For ANON FEEDBACK - you can leave comments anonymously on my AO3 or send me an anon ask on my Tumblr of the same name.

For those who wish to and are able to extend more support, I have a Ko-fi where I accept tips. I don't sell my stories or take fanfic commissions or requests, but I do prepare exclusive content just for those who are kind enough to send some coffee to keep me awake while writing. Check https://misscheesecakeee.carrd.co for more info.


STAY IN TOUCH

If you want an ArmyCarat moot, you can find me on Twitter @/mcheesecakeee. I'm always a DM away if you wanna chat.


ACCESS

You can find my stories on Wattpad & AO3 depending on how you like to read your stories. On Wattpad you can read my work offline on the Wattpad app. And for AO3, you can download it as a .pdf or .epub and take my work wherever you wanna go. Just don't forget to come back to my page and say hi. I'd love to know what you think, even if it's a bunch of emoji's and keyboard smash hahahaha It's nice to know there are people out there reading this.

This reboot is no longer on Tumblr in it's entirety, but I do use Tumblr to promote it.
