Aw I love the guys building a wtf wall - because why not, do it for the sunny sweaty aes, which you capture beautifully.

aaaah thank you so much <3 it was absolutely a personal whim that drove me to it; but also I think the two of them really very much needed a project to bring them together again. Why not build a wall <3. Thank you for the thoughts fren :”)

Oh hell Jordan. You are one scary kid. And “he wasn’t strong enough, neither was I”, *gulp*

she is absolutely terrifying, even when she isn’t trying to be. god help you if she actually decides to kill you, though I don’t think she’s inclined to torture; at least it would be quick and efficient

when you're writing collaboratively do you spend more time in the planning/timeline portion of the process than when you write independently? how much stock do you put in your preplanning?

I’d say we probably spend more time writing independently, both when I write with @tartpants and in the past when I’ve written with @whilemybodyiswarm. Often there’s around 3-5 planning/recon sessions, one where we lay out the initial plans and get going, at least one informal one where one of us gets a new idea and we reroute, and then one or two to figure out how to end it, given how far we’ve come since the initial plan. Usually the ending takes some detail-hashing, since even though I usually like to plan with the ending in mind, some other things come up in the writing. 

It’s fun having the other person write independently, though--- most of the time you come back and they’ve helped you both through a difficult part, esp when you’re writing contiguously like me and @whilemybodyiswarm, or @tartpants and I when we work on our original <3. Or the energy shift can be absolutely amazing, like when @tartpants and I trade back and forth. 

I’m a big preplanner in general though, I like to know where things are headed :) it’s just the writing ends up being more of the work anyways, hehe.

@whilemybodyiswarm and I wrote this fic for @secretshinigami and we happen to be very happy with how it turned out! Read for adorable smol Matt being an observer, Mello and B being two of a kind hellraisers, and B being a half-decent headmaster of Wammy’s in Roger’s stead.

Oh, and lots of Halloween hijinks :)
