hii will there ever be a story abt what’s goin on between justin n mitchell? bc i’m rlly invested in them.

helloooo unfortunately i do not think we will ever write anything for justin and mitchell beyond the crumbs you get of them in acswy :’) we for sure did fully plan out their entire relationship and we can detail that on here when the fic is finished (since i do think it requires the full context to make sense) but definitely not any standalone stories for them!!

now wait wait was the car post a hint that we’re going to learn what car derek drives? 🤨

I want to judge his car taste.

so actually i made that post because i was driving behind a fj cruiser last night and i was exploding them with my mind because i should have their car 😐

that said yes you will learn what car derek drives and yes you will judge his car taste

[campbyler]

i try being very intentional about the cars i assign characters in fics i am writing bc i do think that your car can be such a reflection of your Soul so i always make sure the car i make them drive Makes Sense for them so it’s extra super cool when cars that I Like are cars that Make Sense for them

all of this to say dustin having an fj cruiser is the hottest thing i’ve ever done

do you guys have any new news on the werek fic? sending love and support to you guys 🫶🫶🫶

thank you for the love and support 🥰 the update is that i am gritting my teeth about it every single day but Some headway is being made. i really really really hope to have it up sometime this month so fingers crossed 🤞

do you think that both of you think about the world and your lives the way that you write? As in, are the inner thought styles of mike and will the same as the way you guys think about the world and have thoughts, not in subject matter obviously but in style? Like the highly detailed thinking that observes every tiny thing and notes down every aspect of each choice and action and surroundings? Or did you both adopt this as a way of characterising mike and will as teenagers?

ooh this is such an interesting ask and i have actually thought about this quite often over the last couple years, and we’ve talked about it a couple times as well!! for me, the way i write is often really similar to the way my thoughts work, mostly for larger blocks of narration where the character is just thinking or reasoning with themselves, and especially for more casual/humorous sequences as opposed to ones where i’m trying to be a bit more flowery or evocative with my word choice. it’s really easy for me to get carried away writing these bits because usually whatever is in my brain will get directly word vomited out onto the page, which often means long nonsensical thought loops and very accidentally unserious figures of speech. i do find there are certain characters that are easier for me to do this with: mike for one, obviously, but also buck in the 911 wip i was working on for a while (rip) and patrick zweig in my challengers wip (rip x2) — which im realizing as i type this is basically just a list of characters that scream adhd to me. lol.

other characters like will are not As natural for me in this specific way, but i’ve gotten comfortable enough writing him and his voice for it to happen anyway. and others (vi from my arcane wip, loki from my lokius fic) are muchhh harder to write because they don’t really feel like my inner voice nearly as much, so i have to hold myself back more and really think about whether i am writing from My head or Theirs, if that makes sense. i also get a lot of “yeah i can really hear your voice coming through in this” from my friends when i share excerpts of fics in certain povs with them, so i guess it’s not just in my head! + thea might have thoughts to add but i can confirm that there are also lots of times where she’s written something and i just like read it in her voice because it’s totally something she would say or do, either irl when we are together or just over text. and a lot of the hyper-describing of thoughts and surroundings is honestly equal parts a mixture of my natural thoughts and also just my process for setting a scene, which mostly goes something along the lines of “picture the place, picture the things in the place, describe the things in the place in the clearest but least awkward way possible.” probably this leads to some more describing and noticing and such than i would naturally do in my own head but 🤷🏽‍♀️ honestly it’s pretty close i think

starting a new position soon (seasonal outdoor/conservation work) hoping to find a love/vibe like wilderness week (dating your coworkers is a bad idea don’t take this as advice) 😁😁

omgggg best of luck finding your summer romance 😍😍

[campbyler]

needed to let you guys know that for my degree program, i need to go on a 4 day trip to a nearby summer camp and i will be thinking about acswy the entire time i’m there

i am wondering exactly what degree program you are taking that requires you to go to summer camp but i am obsessed with it regardless

[campbyler]

sometimes i go on our blog on desktop and i say oh yeah this looks so cool. pats my own head

[campbyler]

i cannot tell you how many times i am walking into or out of work and baby by justin bieber is playing in [redacted], which i believe is my penance for mike and dustin’s 2018 camp whiteman talent show performance that was so bad hopper discontinued the talent show completely

[campbyler]

no wip today but i would like to provide the update that werek fic has officially breached 10k .

[campbyler]

hiiii suni here popping back on to add that the reason ch11 is taking meeee forever is less bc of actual writer’s block and more bc this chapter is just very technically challenging to me in terms of how i want to execute certain things!! so i’ve been opening the doc every day and chipping away at it like. 20 words at a time. i’ll get back in the groove eventually though i have #faith

Is this fic still being updated? Absolutely no rush but I was just curious 😋

yes it is!! we are just the slowest writers in the world ♥️
