Hi :) what do you mean by an 🔵🦋 account? xx
bluesky! it's where everyone seems to be migrating to
From scale 1-10 how possesive is tboyl Hyunjin of Jisung ? Will he be a "I'll sulk cause I don't like it type." or a straight up a menace about it?
probably around an 8. stupidly possessive considering theyre not even supposed to be together at all LOL
Just wondering, will there be something like alpha ruts in tsgel? Or only the heats for omegas
alphas don't go into ruts on their own in this au, they can go into something like a rut if they're exposed to an in-heat omega, but they don't have their own cycles for it.
I’ve just read chapter 24 of tboyl. I’m late to the party, I know. I also know that you will be paying for my therapy. my heart is aching for hynsng even though I Know that in the end, things will settle (aka jsng won’t die). I should’ve known /the job/ wouldn’t be sunshine and rainbows 😭
late to the party and suffering all by yourself, handsome?
it's gonna get worse before it gets better <3
Not me zooming in to see the hyunsung ch 3 in the spreadsheet like I can will it to be in front of my eyes. Can’t wait for space au.I hope y’all are having fun writing it.
this was sent a month ago, i hope you enjoyed chapter 3 and the hyunsung therein LAUGHS
I'm actually very curious how mnjng get tgt. Also i want to give jgn a hug 🥺
i imagine with a couple more chapters posted, people are beginning to build a picture of what they think might happen. it's going to be fun to see what readers think as time goes on.
I can't get over the promotional twt jgn ver. Cuz he's SO PRETTYYYYY
this is a late reply but !!!! thank you!!! maybe doing silly moodboards and edits for fics is cringe but it makes me happy and i am glad you liked it!!!!
I went over the spreadsheet for the first 22 chapters of sgel again and noticed that the scenes are very Jeongin (and Minho) heavy and that there are very few Felix (and Changbin) povs. I don't mean that in an accusatory kind of way, just wanted to know if that's a trend that will continue or if it will balance out more during later chapters?
while tsgel is about all 8 boys and their 4 pairings, ultimately it is minjeong forward, and we in particular wanted to showcase jeongin almost as a statement because of how often he gets shafted in other fics. so we decided we wanted a jeongin pov in every chapter. and then, i am trying to keep the chapters around 5 or 6 povs a piece, so it's impossible to pop in on everyone, and what i'm trying to do to the best of my ability (and working with the plot) is to pop in on everyone at least every other chapter, where i can.
changbin actually isn't behind that goal. in the first 23 chapters (23 because we ended up splitting chapter 18 into two after all) he has 13 povs, which breaks over the halfway mark already. and... almost without exception, any pov of minho's, changbin is there. so he's very present in the story.
felix.......... has stuff.... going on......... his absence will..... soon make sense.........
How many words a day would you say each of you write a day on average? Obviously some days are slower or longer, but on a normal day when you do have the time and energy to write— what does that look like? curious from another writer because the amount you’re able to churn out is mind bogglingly impressive!!
i can't really give a number, because there is no average, really. even on days where we're wanting to write and the brain is working well, the end result varies a LOT. sometimes we sit down with the mentality of "i am going to write until it stops flowing" and sometimes it's "i'm going to write until i have finished this scene" and then other times it's "i am just going to tippy tap and hope i can get an okay amount down"
and on days where it's bad we will only get a few disjointed sentences down. sometimes that leads to us actually writing a bit, and sometimes it doesn't. i think both rara and i try to get 500 words down per session, but it's not always good to put that kind of goalpost up, because it can be freezing when you're just. not mentally up for it. it starts leading to an "all or nothing" mentality. so on those days i will look at a scene and think "do i have even a single thought for this scene" and usually i do, maybe a line of motion or dialogue or description, and i will write that down. sometimes 80 words is a win for the day.
usually i consider a session successful if by the end of it i have written 1 to 2k. if i check wordcount at the end and it's 900 words, i will try to eke out another 100 to hit that 1k mark. sometimes on good days we can get out more than that, but when we hit 3k, or 3.5k.... u can really feel the gears burning out.
Just re-read an ocean in my veins and I’m now curious as to what the others thought the first time they overheard Hyunsung seeing as jisung seems like he would always be pretty vocal and needy
i mean. they don't think much of anything other than "oh i need to get out of here"
you mentioned dom/sub dynamic for hyunsung, but who tops? i assume hyune since he’s a dom in the shadows grow ever longer AU, but since omegas have pussies?
dom =/= top
you can dom without being the one doing the penetration
is jisung going to be quite isolated from the main group in tsgel like he was in tboyl?
he.... wasnt isolated in tboyl? he literally lived with them. he FELT like the odd man out, but literally no one else say him that way. the entire final arc of the fic was jisung finally learning that he was family all along.
Wait wait wait did jisung move up into the apartment now that jongin has moved down to minho? The wip wednesday habit has hyunjin leaving jisungs room and being able to see Chanlix's door?
yes, he does move up into the apartment proper
A tsgel update on my skz concert day is like the best thing to happen just so you know 💕
ah i hope you enjoyed the fic and had a good time at the concert <3
Hi!! I started reading tboyl a week ago and have made it to chapter 20. I know this fic will be my biggest obsession forever :-)
You linked to a floor plan for their house in the notes, but the link is dead - does the floor plan still exist somewhere? I’d love to see it!!
the link still works for me? https://twitter.com/inkin_brushes/status/1645048846714646528
