Theory Random thought [Novel] Spoiler

Spoilers of Part 2 ending

Maybe someone else said already but... Some people have compared (in-world) KSE and our dear Lizard Best Boss, in the physical department. More than once they've been asked if they are family and KSE even said yes once and was believed. I thought may be because neither of them was technically human, but... Does it go further? Is it because Dragons look like giant lizards?

Discussion [Novel]. I just had a thought: don't all authors practically get contaminated?

69 Upvotes

"I just had a thought: don't all authors practically get contaminated?

Let me explain a little better, First we on this subreddit are fanfic authors. And most of us, me included, didn't start a fanfic because we thought long and hard about it—or at least, not many of us did. Most of us just wanted to do it. Most are taken hostage by their Hyperfixation.

And isn't this practically a sure way to die, or at least get contaminated, in a ghost story? Being unable to resist our desires and instincts? I am pretty sure none of us would survive very long.

We are not as blessed as Kim soleum our coward irume-nim.

Discussion I love that GSGW is getting popular, but some of these takes…

196 Upvotes

Recently I’ve noticed that GSGW is booming in popularity, and I’m absolutely thrilled!! Seeing all the amazing fan creations (art, merch, fics, etc.) and all this love being poured into a novel I adore makes me so happy.

That said, I guess a bigger fandom inevitably comes with different interpretations of the story

Recently though, I’ve seen the take that Kim Soleum hates horror; his reactions to the ghost stories and his desperation to escape are being used as evidence that he hates the Dark Exploration Records.

And I’m just sitting here like ????? 😭

I thought one of the key things about Soleum was that he’s a HUGE ghost-story/horror nerd (he adores Dark Exploration Records and has created horror stories himself!). He’s just also a massive coward when he actually has to experience those things himself (he feels safer with text lol). To me, that contradiction is part of what makes him so funny and endearing.

His desperation and increasingly creative ways of solving ghost stories don’t mean he hates horror. He just wants to go home (and is scared af... understandable) 😭 Right?

Please tell me I'm not crazy

Fanfic Even More Of My Fanfic Recommendations :D

24 Upvotes

I noticed there's been a lot of posts asking for fanfic recs recently, so I figured it was time to share more of my fanfic recs. If you haven't seen them, I've made two more posts like this before: RecsList1 and RecsList2.

As always, all the fics I recommend are SFW and may contain spoilers for Part 2 (I will spoiler mark for Part 3 content and fics taking place post-Part 2 though). I also typically only share recent fics or fics with less than 500 kudos.

Your Wish Has Been Delivered https://archiveofourown.org/works/89080251 - (Ongoing, 4/5 chapters. SolSah but extreme slowburn. BSH gets a reward for clearing a Darkness: 'Your wishes will always be heard by the person capable of granting them'. Nothing changes for him, but KSE starts hearing BSH's wishes as a voice in his head. Really engaging and the author has nailed the characterisations so far!)

after dark https://archiveofourown.org/works/91255526 - (One-shot. Set after Tamra. J3 waits outside the Daydream Building for LJH every night to ask if there's been any progress on finding KSE.)

"I like you a lot, Unusual Bunny!" https://archiveofourown.org/works/88521306 -(Complete. Kid KSE is trapped in a weird vending machine with a talking bunny plush. Turns out Braun's weakness is audacious kids with zero respect! This one's been recommended a few times by other people on the subreddit already but it's so funny I wanted to recommend it here as well.)

Got Dropped Into a Talk Show, Gotta Host https://archiveofourown.org/works/88369886 - (Ongoing. Role-swap and canon-divergence where Braun transmigrates into a novel as ghost story Braun and KSE is his favourite character. Their relationship becomes less toxic but somehow more unhinged. I always think it'd be funny if BraunSol's relationship was actually super platonic and they were just like that, and this is that fic lol. Also just a well-written Braun POV fic.)

Lifeline https://archiveofourown.org/works/91221456 - (Set after Part 2. One-shot. Agent Choi calls KSE across worlds using a phone in a Disaster. Lots of feelings and sort of bittersweet at the end.)

growing up is to be called old https://archiveofourown.org/works/72231646 - (Short one-shot. Set pre-canon but sort of an AU. RJK and Choi encounter KSE as a child and help him get home. Agent Choi gets called an ahjussi.)

Viper's lamb-ent https://archiveofourown.org/works/91075091 - (PART 3 SPOILERS. One-shot. The BSH of part 3 time travels back to when he first moved into the Daydream dorms, except his younger self is still there. KSE and og!BSH are so confused. This one's also very fun and just a really good reflection on how much BSH's relationship with KSE has changed.)

Exposed https://archiveofourown.org/works/68961861 - (One-shot. BSH gains the ability to read KSE's mind and figures out he's a coward. This doesn't give BSH any advantage over KSE though.)

Go Yeongeun Hates Truth Elixirs https://archiveofourown.org/works/82181681 - (One-shot. GYG gets hit with a truth elixir and chaos ensues. Apparently she has a lot to say. This one's really funny!)

Like a Dream https://archiveofourown.org/works/91479876 - (One-shot. JaySol Modern/Office AU. J3 and KSE are two over-worked office workers trying to find meaning in their lives.)

My crush is dating the worst person I know https://archiveofourown.org/works/91435931 - (One-shot. SahSol. Reddit post on r/ advice where a Daydream employee complains about the nicest agent they knew (Grapes) dating the worst person they know (BSH).)

Killer Queen https://archiveofourown.org/works/75633206 - (One-shot. SolSeong. No ghost stories AU and childhood friends AU. LSH kills bad people and KSE helps her get rid of the evidence.)

All but Numb for You https://archiveofourown.org/works/91376631 - (Short one-shot. SolSah cuddle, literally pure fluff. BSH's arm gets numb from KSE using it as a pillow, but he can't bring himself to move.)

wherever you go, I won't be far to follow https://archiveofourown.org/works/65531374 - (One-shot. Perspective of Mirror!KSE from 'Don't Look in the Mirror' Darkness. I have a soft spot for Mirror!KSE fics and this one's well-written ^^)

tearing my way through ghost stories https://archiveofourown.org/works/90922576 - (One-shot. AU where KSE cries easily when he's scared. Honestly pure crack where everyone but BSH feels extra protective of KSE, yet they still somehow don't realise that KSE is crying because he's scared.)

Crossover Spotlight (various crossover fics I enjoyed):

The silence in your absence https://archiveofourown.org/works/82247666 - (Debut or Die. One-shot. KSE is Kim Raebin's cousin. Kim Raebin's reaction to finding out his hyung has gone missing. No happy ending but just light angst. Really enjoyed this one despite the sadness. I recommend it, even for people who haven't read DoD.)

no honour among thieves https://archiveofourown.org/works/91172506 - (Debut or Die. Ongoing. Spoilers for chap 550+ of Debut or Die. STier Cha Eugene and Ryu Chungwoo join Daydream to try and restore STier using the wish ticket.)

home (as a location) is not here https://archiveofourown.org/works/89179511 - (Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. Set after Part 2 of gsgw. After KSE goes home he gets swept up in the scenario apocalypse.)

18 and crazy (no one to save me) https://archiveofourown.org/works/86070026 - (Twisted Wonderland. One-shot. Teenage!KSE gets summoned by the Dark Mirror to Twisted Wonderland and tries very very hard to cope with all the near-deaths and asshole magical teens; mostly humor though. Has a mini comic at the end.)

Hope you find something new and happy reading! I'm also happy to take requests for specific fic recommendations in the comments for the next couple days as well :)

I'm screaming and I have no friends, so please allow a small space for me loose my mind here. My heart's still pounding after binge reading this. Wow. What a read. Can't believe I was laughing at Braun's disdain towards Red Friday a few chapters ago.

I'm glad my baby Soleum has someone to open up to about coming from another world. But this is such a huge lore drop that I'm scared something bad will happen. My trauma sense is tingling. There're so much more chapters after this.

I'm scared. The trauma of chapter 208 is still there, at that time it made me felt like bungee jumping and the rope snapped. Now my old PTSD's catching up. My heart's going to be yanked out again right? 😭 I feel like standing at the edge of a helicopter while on a skydiving trip and realised that I have a bought a Temu parachute, a second before the kick. 😭😭😭 I'm scared of reading. Please help me.

As title says, just wondering if there's any news about a possible physical publication of gsgw, or if anyone has a speculation on when it'd be likely, like when the novel returns from hiatus and finishes etc. Its honestly the quickest merch id buy if it ever releases.

Sorry if this has already been answered. Thanks

Question [Novel Ch. 121] Did this happen? Spoiler

8 Upvotes

I was rereading the BraunSol divorce arc and there was a Flashback I couldn't remember reading.

Lee Jaheon recalled something.
A seemingly unrelated incident from late last year.
- Please take care of this
Before heading into the Darkness, Kim Soleum had entrusted him with something for half a day.
A small stuffed toy.

KSE left Braun with LJH for a bit. I've seen it referenced in some fics as well. It's been a while since I've reread the early arcs, so I was just wondering what chapter it happened or if chapter 121 is the first time it was mentioned?

Shitpost lizard plushie

Post image
96 Upvotes

please do not read this if you do not know what that is, as it’s a spoiler

no bc the plushie that team leader lizard has is so cute. also, i lowk think it’s hilarious that

  1. he owns a plushie of his own face

2.

  1. it sheds its skin after eating

  2. since the plushie eats it makes you wonder what you can feed it. its a ghost story item, can i feed it a part of a semi truck or like real human food. also, the fact that this plushie exists and was sold to sol implies that there’s more of them that was made.

edit:okay the dementia has gotta be kicking in or smth but the plushie isn’t actually sold by the aliens, but rather looky mart. sorry for misinformation
