cyanoticfallacy replied to your post: Hi in response to your PBT question could you make them talk about their times in the system? Unless that’s detrimental to the plot and all then that’s okay but I’d love to see what you planned for them.

I still check a fanfic that hasn’t been updated in three years even though I know the author gave up on it :P and I totally understand I just wanted to suggest something and that was at the front of my mind.

I do too people give up on stories and it's tragic but i still have two fics that im in love with that haven't been updated in months and months if not years but i haven't given up on them yet

Well thank you so much for your suggestion. It will definitely be a thing eventually, don't you worry about that.

I’d love to see Kurt hint at how it was Blaine that got him through hard times, or maybe just Kurt really realizing it by being with Blaine

This I can do. Your wish is my command.

More like I know I thought of something when I was reading it and now I can’t remember. I want them to talk about it without getting intense. Maybe Blaine avoiding it a bit, but being frustrated that Kurt doesn’t really get it. That’s not the thing.

You wanna read the first half of this chapter? I could use some feedback on it anyway and maybe you'll remember. MAKEING THEM TALK IS SO HARD RYAN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK TO EACH OTHER LIKE IF THEY HAD THEIR WAY THEY WOULD NEVER MAKE EYE CONTACT OR BREATHE THE SAME AIR OR ANYTHING BECAUSE YEAH BUT PLOTLINE AND IT'S GOOD FOR THEM AND THEY NEED TO TALK BUT UGH IT'S JUST HARD.

okay i'll shut up. 

also no obligation on your end TO read it, i was just - never mind. you should just ignore me forever. okay. bye.

I feel like I have something really great that I really want but I can´t place it. I feel like I’m naming my child or something..

Can you sort of describe it? Like is it a general vibe you're hoping for or a certain sway of the conversation or a particular emotion you want running through a part or a thought process or a line or a reaction like THIS IS NOT ENOUGH AND NOW I'M EXTREMELY CURIOUS

Well, they’re definietely going to talk about that eventually, but idk if it makes sense for them to open up so early you know? Cause Blaine’s really damaged. I don’t know if it comes across that way yet, but he’s really messed up. Kurt might try to get him to say something, but Blaine’s not really ready for that yeah. He’s got too many trust issues and is just really screwed up right now. We get a look at what he’s going home to in the chapter after this one, probably, which will explain some more about why he’s so screwed up and stuff, but i don’t think he can bring up too much about his past yet in THIS chapter i mean, you feel me?

There might be subtle hints at it but idk. If there’s anything else or any specific thing you want addressed though i really do want your opinions and stuff.

I’m just really flattered you bother at all with reading it and that you don’t hate how slow i am cause yeah so thanks.

okay so i have what i think is only part of the next chapter of PBT finished. In my opinion it's only about 1/2 way done, but it could relatively easily be considered a chapter. a maddeningly short chapter of only about 2k words, but a chapter. so here's where you come in. WOULD YOU RATHER ME 1) publish this chapter now, even though it's short. Which would equal you getting less of the story but getting it like right now, basically

or 

2) put the next scene(s) into the chapter. Which will make it longer but take time and so you'll have to wait more for it

It's up to you now

Which would y'all prefer?

[porchbirds]

I'm looking for a bit of inspiration. Is there anything, anything at all, you guys are hoping to see in upcoming chapters of Pretty Broken Things?
