Is there anything in the world(s) you created that you wish you could change but because it's been the way it has so long, it either can't change or it feels weird to change it? @emilyoracle

Hello, and happy wbw!! Thanks for the ask!!!

Hm... I'm not sure??? I haven't really gotten far enough to consider any retcon-ing, especially with CoS, since it's just a little baby WIP.

As for ATQH, I probably need to cut some of the characters, cause they're unnecessary and just make things a little too confusing. But I'm also desperately attached to all of them.

As for worldbuilding, nothing that I would change that I can think of right now. Maybe just add some more depth to the world of ATQH.

I'm so sorry :') I'm pulling out my hair again. in prehistoric, when I align the boxes vertically *and* center: layoutMode: 'vertical' layoutMode: 'center' it makes it so clicking them doesn't open the pop-up. I've tried using margins and/or padding in various scripts to get the same effect but none of that is working either. Is there just no way to have the boxes *not* pressed against the sidebar? ahahaha orz

hii if i understood you correctly this should fix it:

replace this:

var $grid = $('#wips-wrapper').isotope({        itemSelector: '.wip-box',        layoutMode: 'vertical', });

with this:

var $grid = $('#wips-wrapper').isotope({        itemSelector: '.wip-box',        layoutMode: 'vertical',        vertical: {            horizontalAlignment: 0.5        }      });

let me know if that wasn't it!

Please help me QQ I've been messing with the prehistoric page code for hours now (and google) and I can't figure out how to make it so the boxes for the WIPS will be in a vertical line down the page (on top of each other instead of side-by-side). And/or I'm trying to also get more space between them so they aren't flush to each other.

hey there! you probably couldnt change it doing that because the script for the filters also sets the layout, so you need to modify the js. its a pretty easy fix!

find this code:

var $grid = $('#wips-wrapper').isotope({        itemSelector: '.wip-box' });

and replace it with this/add the bolded line to the code above:

var $grid = $('#wips-wrapper').isotope({        itemSelector: '.wip-box',        layoutMode: 'vertical' });

as for the margin you need to find:

.wip-box {     width: 50%;     margin:0 auto 10rem;     box-sizing: border-box;}

and play with the numbers of the bolded margin property

let me know if something's not working or if you need more help!

wispiril ...........fine. fair.

I know that I can trust you about it, because even knowing what the story meant and where it had come from, your reaction was still to write me smutty coffee shop AU fanfiction of it for my birthday, which is the only appropriate response

there is a particularly weird line here between "completely divorcing the characters from the author" and "completely marrying the characters to the author" which make it such an awkward story, and you walk that middle line beautifully

wispiril its so good tho 

wispiril i hate u for not allowing others to read it and release me from my singular suffering 

the thing is:

maybe part of it just has to do with the fact that you are also author

talking about something online, even deeply, does not even come close to the amount of vulnerability of writing about something from a character perspective in a book

besides you there are four other people who I think I wouldn't have an issue sharing it with, except, one of them has her own shit going on and I'm not putting this on her, with one of them – even though we've been friends for a long time – deep emotional conversations aren't exactly our strong suit and I don't think she would approach this with an attitude that I'm comfortable with, and the other two were not only friends with me at the time they were actively caught in the middle of this and I have no intention of re-traumatizing everybody… They already put up with it from an outsider’s perspective, they don't need to know about it from an insider's perspective as well

although the situations in the book are much more extreme than what I went through, the emotions that the characters feel are not that much more extreme than what I felt, so it's awkward for me to give it to somebody who doesn't know me and it's also awkward for me to give it to somebody does know me

like I said, once I finish it you can perhaps share it with a few people you think might appreciate it, but I'm not going to personally share it with anybody else

literally all of those in the list are #me (except the lack of emotion one), but I feel like our dispositions/vibes are completely opposite.

I see, but I feel like that's fair… You and I definitely have different… I don't really want to say viewpoints, but different ways of interacting with the world, but we're also clearly very similar LOL
