hey guys it’s me again…i was wondering if we could see a (non-spoilery!) glimpse of your planning doc? i’d love to see how you guys are keeping the story going smoothly through the three of you and also just. what it looks like. if that’s ok.

ok love uuuu bye running into the sunset

since we got a couple of asks about this i'm just going to answer them together :-) it's been a hot second since we've talked about our writing process and since we have a few chapters now and are no longer at risk for spoiling Everything in one fell swoop, attached are chapters 1-5 from our official outline document! this is the one we use to actually navigate and reference for the fic as we write, but we've had two or three versions before this where we did the majority of the actual planning/going back on forth on scene ideas. those got really difficult to navigate after a while, so we cut out a lot of the commentary (we are hilarious. #trust) and fluff and made this one pretty bare-bones, but we have the entire fic planned out this way and have had it planned out before any of it was ever written! it definitely helps with continuity, because other than some minor changes to the dates and stuff (we realized at one point that like three chapters all occurred within the span of one week lol) and some retconning to some vestigial scenes from our original fic concept - which was very different in some aspects when we first thought of it back in january - we've stayed pretty consistent to this outline while writing. we also have a million other documents as well - playlist organization, an entire document we used to plan out titles lol, a google slides presentation breaking down the timeline, etc etc. thea and andi are much better outliners than i am because i rarely do it for my own fics but this process might have converted me fr. to some extent. anyways! enjoy snooping! or don't. lol. hope you like my commentary xoxo

(side note: chapter 5 probably had the most retconning of the chapters so far - the closet scene was one of the first ones we thought of for the fic and therefore heavily relied on how we originally imagined their dynamic to play out, which was really really different than how we ended up writing them! needless to say i definitely struggled with it lol. but it worked out fine. i think.)

“You hit a homeless man with a van?!”

“We did NOT hit a homeless man with a van,” Adam groaned.

Sarah raised a brow. “What’d you do, then?”

There was dead silence in the small apartment room, before Jonah mumbled something under his breath.

“What was that?” Sarah asked.

“…We hit a homeless man with a van.” Jonah diverted his gaze anywhere but Sarah’s eyes or the unconscious man on the sofa.

“God, you guys,” she said, “What if he presses charges? Or people find out online? I mean, what were you guys thinking?!”

“See, that’s what I said!” Adam exclaimed, turning to Jonah. “I told you we should have hid the body somewhere.”

“No! No hiding bodies!” Sarah shouted, stopping herself before saying anything else. She closed her eyes and took a long breath, before finally speaking again. “How fast were you guys going?”

Adam and Jonah looked at each other, shrugged, and turned back to her.

“Like…30? Maybe?” Jonah said unsurely.

Sarah still kept her eyes shut. “Okay. Okay. That’s good. He’s not dead, then.”

“He wasn’t dead when we brought him here,” Adam said, glancing over to check. “He might be. Maybe. Hang on.”

“Don’t wake him up,” Sarah said as Adam moved over to the worn-down sofa. “I don’t want another person to handle right now.”

Adam waved her off, taking a closer look. The state of the man almost matched the furniture he was laid on: in complete and utter disrepair. He looked older than the rest of the group, around a decade or so more judging by his face. Adam frowned. Had he seen this guy somewhere? He couldn’t remember talking to anyone like him, certainly not anyone with such a significant scar across his cheek. There was something familiar about him, though.

It was as he stood there, leaned over in a state of confusion, that the man’s eyelids began to twitch. Adam shifted his head back, still not moving.

Sarah opened her eyes, staring at him. “What?”

“I think he’s awake,” Adam said, getting shoved over by her seconds later, followed by Jonah scrambling over to see him.

The man opened his eyes slowly, closing and blinking as he adjusted to the light, before letting out a single groan of pain and exhaustion. He blinked again, tired brown eyes glancing around the room, and then the three people standing over him. They finally focused, and there was once again that dead silence that hung in the room.

And then he screamed.

I haven’t seen anyone else get this in gif form yet and I feel like that’s a travesty

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light
