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

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

since tboyl is done except for the epilogue, it seems like a good time to ask how you feel about people printing and binding your work (for personal use only!!) is that something that is ok with you? would you rather people not do that? thanks!! (in advance for answering and also for writing such an incredible fic that i want to do this even knowing how long it is... <3) and sorry if you've answered this before and i missed it!!
so long as it's for personal use only, we're fine with it!! though good luck printing off all those pages (and formatting them too)

I really hope tsgel mnjng will not pull the tboyl hynsng. I'm scared lf the slow burn tag pls don't let them suffer!!! 😭
they must suffer, it is an inkin fic. but the slow burn will not be to the same extent as tboyl hyunsung. not exactly.

I am so excited for the new space au especially for seungmin to meet Changbin. I am the biggest fan of how you right seungbin dynamics.
they don't meet until chapter 3 but WE get to meet changbin next chapter~ i really love them in this au. i loved them in tboyl too, but i just love me a... duty versus love trope.

Hi there! I hope this hasn't been asked (and answered) before, but I was wondering if you have any timeline/order for your next fics. I read that the space au first ch. will be posted soon - will it a weekly/bi-weekly schedule (so regular posting like it used to be for tbyol) or there will be no posting schedule at all (like it's now with tbyol). Also, I was wondering if you're planning on working on the hyunsung chronicles, as well as your other fics lined up (eg. Vampire au) simultaneously, and posting them once they're ready, or if you'll finish the space au first, before posting the hyunsung chronicles. Thanks!
the epilogue and hyunsung chronicles will be getting picked at over the next few months and posted once they're done! all other plotty fics will maybe get picked at, but it's hard to juggle multiple longfics at once.
tsgel rn has no concrete schedule. i would LIKE to update every two weeks. but it's going to be a lot of writing, very consistently, for a long time. we're both very excited to write it, but it is a daunting thing. every two weeks is the goal, with once a month kind of being... what i am hoping is the minimum. we'll see what life throws at us though. it's been a rough few months lol
