Omg definitely 6
6. Real life ridiculousness So, just gonna make a blanket statement of Ging and I aren't actually crazy. But when you write a big story, you sort of have to split your brain up into sections to keep it all going in the proper direction.Often, I put on William glasses and let my mind react to something as if William were a real person. Ginger does the same. But since all of that takes a long time to type, we shorten that to "Will/Shane thinks/does/says etc" because its easier on all parties and fingers involved.That leads me to the subject of Pings and Jings.A 'ping' is when you Really Like Something. Maybe it makes you hot. Maybe it makes you excited. Maybe it just makes you warm inside. Whatever it is, a Ping is a positive and attractive thing. For example? Shane pings on Will's tattoos. Hard. He likes the edgy look. In reverse? Will pings on Shane's quietude and gruff nature. He likes it and understands it.Sometimes, Ging and I will be walking along, minding our own business, come across something and 'PING!'. There is a Shane or a William in our brains filling our heads with the things they like about x, y, and z....But a Jing?Jings are like Pings in that they cannot be easily ignored. But. The J is for jealous. And Shane is jealous of...a fuckton. xDSo yeah. Real life fuckery? Trying to edit a draft and then whoever is reading getting hit with random pings and jings as she tries to get some work done. When we get some of these chapters posted, we're going to try and do a weekly or every other week behind the scenes commentary on said chapter. Like. Random weirdass moments that we had wrangling these two into a pleasing narrative form.But the most common moment of the day is definitely the 4th wall reactions of these two idiots being possessive of one another.
