I’m sorry to hear that you’re not happy with it! I loved the storyline, the beginnings of ele, eva and edo as children, the intense slow burn between incantava, ele’s crush, Ele developing her Ed, edo and ele’s evolving sexual tension, ele’s assult, her hospitalization, everything with ele’s mom and edo’s dad and Eva’s family UGH I was so looking forward to continuing this amazing journey and seeing what downfalls happens- 1/2
- next, will edo and ele finally get together? will there be a falling out in the brighis? will ele have ptsd? will ele relapse and be hospitalized again? will problems come up between edo and ele? omg too many ideas 2/2
hi! I’m so glad you like dsob! it hold such a special place in my heart haha, it was really the first fic I wanted to keep writing and liked posting and I would jump the gun sometimes and post the chapters before the chapters were ready to be posted haha. and because I jumped the gun so much, I am not satisfied with it atm! but don’t worry, the rewrites are hopefully gonna make it a lot better. dsob is really heavy, too, and it got me tapping into a lot of my emotions and while I really enjoyed writing it, it was also really emotionally draining and exhausting for me to write as well, so I wanted to take a step back from it. I feel like I’m in a better headspace now and better understand my writing process to come back to writing it now and I think everyone will benefit from it.
I promise edo and ele will get together, but we get to see them as friends again first, too (which I’m excited about, the tension is always so good, and bc the conflict makes their relationship more complex than before). as for the brighi’s and edo, it really can only go upwards from here. ele and her ED are more complicated, everyone’s fav Paige (@air-bison-yip-yip) made the fantastic point to me about the other health effects of EDs beyond weight loss and dry hair and lack of energy, and I think tying that into the narrative is something important. skam is about representing real life and so to explore some other real life implications of EDs (esp with how severe ele’s is in dsob) is something I’m interested in doing in this fic. I want to do it in a really respectful way as well and be sensitive to people that have EDs and so research on this end is really important to me, and that’s going to take some more time but I hope you can understand. as for more problems between ele and edo, there were some things that came up in-canon that I want to address in this fic (bc it kind of became my fix-it fic for the things in canon that I wanted them to touch on more that they didn’t) so there’s definitely going to be more conflict there haha.
I hope this helps with some of the ideas you have! dsob is no 2 on my to do list right after the next college!au one shot. I would love to give an exact date for it, but my new semester starts on Tuesday so I can’t make any promises. the one thing I can promise is that its going to be better in quality and quantity haha :)
and thanks for checking in on dsob, it really means a lot to me that people are still excited about it
