Example Fanworks
Fanfiction
- Kyuhyun... It's been hard on you. by janie6789: Kyuhyun has had to go through an impossible amount of hardships - from being the newcomer and youngest in a huge band in a culture that emphasizes hierarchy, to the health problems he's had. This story will fictionalize everything that he's had to go through since his training days at SM.
This fanfiction used to be a must read for every fan before being taken down by janie6789 for several years due to her being unsatisfied with the work. After many pleas of fans over the years she decided to opened it again to the public after realizing how beloved the fanfiction is among fans. It was probably also losely inspired by the stories Super Junior told in the Korean television program "Strong Heart" (car accident and tensions between the members).
