WIP Tag

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.  Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips.

@killerandhealerqueen @tenderlywicked, thanks for the tags kings!

i just moved a few WIPs off the docket, so i am also curious about what's lurking in the drafts. these are all TDJ fics! bc i have multiple docs for a single chapter/work, i'll group the titles by story:

1. au_twins 3/3 notes

2. au_kidnapping 1/2, au_kidnapping rough, kidnapping rewrite, au_sunah getting kidnapped, au_sunah the aftermath

3. ch 7 pt 4_rewrite, ch 7 pt 3, ch 8_confession + tying it together, MONEY LENDER, y's take on events, ch 7 conflict, ch 10 epilogue, ch 9_resolution + looking forward

4. elevator au_3, elevator au_4/rough notes

5. elijah_post canon

6. au_strangers in a bar notes, au in a bar notes

(on the docket but not urgent):

7. space au

8 canon div_fight about the betrayal

9. hades persephone au

10. au_adopt 3 girls

11. modern au_hospital child (i actually like the angst in this one. might move it up the dock)

12. au_fire divergence

13. au_post canon structured, au_post canon rough

i'm going to cheat and post the first line of the untitled works i have in the notes app, since it's where ideas get written down and developed. i don't name these because it's often a single scene or emotion. it's only when i develop the idea enough to transfer it to a GD that i name it

gaon in the kitchen looking through the drawers for x. he slams it shut in unconcealed frustration. whatever you want from me, i don't have it in me anymore

you died! in that prison! gaon yells. and i put you there

yohan pushes him out, jung sunah dies, the cameras stop rolling closer to 10mil, gaon manages to get back in and grabs yohan, but yohan pulls him close and says 'trust me'

[yohankang]

imagine gaon visiting jinjoo in her hometown some months later. they have drinks and talk about everything but gaon carefully avoids talking about yohan. jinjoo notices so she doesn’t mention him either. but when gaon leaves she tells him, ‘give my regards to chief kang when you see him’ and smiles. he’s so shocked he doesn’t know how to react but she continues, “and thank him for the postcards, they’re lovely”.

#the devil judge #gaon: so you knew??? then why didn't you say anything??? #jinjoo: oh wait i thought you didn't want to talk about him because you're still going through identity crisis or something #gaon: what. #asdfghjs anyway i'll try to post some jinjoo&yohan hcs this week #because in my head they are besties <3 we deserve it #i have so many tdj posts in my drafts #k.txt #m*hcs #jinhan besties

Hello, I hope you are having a lovely day/night 💞🌷🏵️🍵

For the ao3 wrapped:

11,12,15,18

omg these asks led me on a trip down memory lane and made me so excited for my biggest WIP (which has also been a pain in my ass), so tysm for sending them anon ❤️❤️🙏

11. What work took you the longest to write?

hands down 'everything everywhere all at once', my modern au where gaon drops out of law school when his parents die and falls for their private money lender, kyh, against his better instincts. here's the funny thing: i intended to complete in one one week with 3 chapters published in 3 days!! i started it in January 2023, nearly a year ago. 

i love this story so much. i wanted to write a gentle kyh for gaon so badly, but that's difficult to do for canon unless i wrote them post-canon. so i made an angsty au. this story was also my first true foray into FF writing on a03 years and years after i had put content creation aside, and the story ended up becoming a gateway to a totally new side of TDJ fandom. people share so many beautiful ideas about the lawful family in their story comments that fic writing feels like a rich conversation. so many times i have written gahan one way to read somebody's thoughts in the comments and go ahhhh i didn't even think of that. hearing people's perspectives has been such a rewarding and crucial piece of writing bc i am a person who works best when sounding ideas off another. 

12. How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year?

straight for the heart, lmao. i have three, all 95 per cent ready for publication, in that the story is fully written out and the dialogue is completely polished in some areas but i am missing a key part that's critical for bringing the story together. it's too clunky basically. 

for example, when i was writing 'i hope you are lonely' the sex tape fic, i had everything written except a single scene: i couldn't figure out how gaon publicly responded to the tape. this was a crucial part of the story because his emotion would set the tone for how comfortable he felt expressing sexual desire for yohan and thus the progression of their relationship. was he hurt and afraid? angry and sexually frustrated? wanting revenge or to move on? and how did all those emotions shape what he asked yohan for, a man who would give him whatever he wanted. so this nearly complete draft was sitting in my GD for weeks until a reader asked me when i was updating and while i was typing out everything above just how i wrote it for you some part of my brain suddenly woke up and came up with a solution. i published the fic the next day. 

all this to say that the 3 stories i have lined up for publication are experiencing the same thing. basically polished except for oooooone thing. i need to tease out what a character feels about a specific event to successfully build the tension until it ratchets up to unbearable levels and needs to be released right the fuck now, i.e. theyre going to talk about it or fuck it out or whatever. but until that piece comes to me....these fics remain in the drafts. who knows tho, maybe after this a03 wrapped my ADHD brain will pop back in and do it's darned job. 

15. What WIP are you taking into next year with you?

all of them! i don't publish a multi chap unless i have the ending written. otherwise it stays a oneshot. rn i am excited for i hope you are lonely, elevator troubles, and everything everywhere all at once.

18. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?

isaac! i actually didn't realize this until you asked me in concrete terms, so thanks for helping me articulate the writing block i am having. it's the kang isaac in my money lender au. he does something that has significant consequences but needs plausible deniability for the story to work. i can't nail down why he does it tho. he meddles, and he's foolish and he causes trouble but not vindictively or deliberately. his heart is in the right place, but how do i write him without overly abusing the trope of the good guy who bumbled his way into something wrong? now that i'm asking myself this specific question, i may come up with an answer. 

thinking through this was loads of fun and a perfect way to spend lunch break pfft. you have yourself a good weekend 🎉🎉🥳🎉🎊🎉🥳
