Definitely yay to more YOJA! I keep on thinking if Tom will really come to Madrid 😅

And a prequel to TJourn sounds great! It’s always nice to read what happened before and after the story or to read it from the beginning of the timeline to the end!

The intention is definitely for him to come to Madrid to see our girl before she’s done filming there. Haven’t quite made up my mind if I have enough to allow it to be a chapter or if it’ll just be mentioned as something that happens. We will see. 

In terms of the prequel series, we’ve gained an understanding of Tom’s defensiveness regarding journalists, and gotten glimpses of the reasons behind her ‘actor armor’. TJOURN 0.7 would be learning more about the who behind the so called armor. We’ve gotten hints in earlier prequels but would finally be seeing him actually interact with our journalist. It... makes me giggle endlessly, even through the grimacing and secondhand embarrassment.  😘😘

I really, really can't decide. I think YOJA was the first multichap fic in this fandom and I had so much to read!

But the angst that is Unsettled and The Journalist! Keep coming back to that.

I’m right there with you. YOJA being the first big thing I started ( that got away from me. I’ll freely admit to that ) and will always hold a special place in my heart - I was really excited to present TJOURN and what I felt was a different sort of narrative to what I had been reading in the fandom up to that point. Something a little more jarring, something that didn’t leave us cozy and warm.

But then oh -  Unsettled. If TJOURN was meant to be jarring. Ha. I’ve said it time and again but the concepts that were within the asks/ prompts I blended to get that story going made me physically ill to think about. ( oh the massive downside to having an overactive imagination ) 

The angst is definitely what keeps me hanging on to the notion of the prequel series in TJOURN, and unwilling to get us more quickly towards the planned end of Unsettled.
