Follow the journey of a young Sara Weiss' journey into the world of pop music and idols.... more>>

Through a series of misunderstandings, Sara finds herself somehow auditioning to become an idol for the next girl group being deputed under the luxurious Petel Entertainment company. Through this twist of fate, a spark is lit inside the heart of Sara and the path to becoming an idol begins.

Author's Note: This will be a rather casual story, don't expect arrogant rivals or evil corporations after the main lead/group. My desire to write this story came from 1. being unable to find any other story of a similar nature (of decent length at least) 2. recently becoming a fan of K-Pop which is an obvious inspiration. 3. To write something casual in my free time, so don't expect countless updates.

Note on the world setting: The story takes place in a fictional world and while there will be some resemblance to idol culture in South Korea, most things will be vastly different. There will be no hierarchy system or anything like that for example and the culture will be less conservative in general. There are a couple of reasons for this, one simply being my hesitation to write about something I am mostly ignorant about, but also because I just like to write about fictional landscapes that I can shape as I please.

Note on romance: I currently have no inclination to include any romance at the moment, though if I do, it will highly be likely that it would be a girl love romance, as I'm a fan of those. But for now, no romance in these early stages of writing. I'll update the genre and tags accordingly if this changes. <<less
