#dbth

firstly, thank you so much for your very kind words ❤️ it's such a special fic to me, and i so appreciate hearing that other people have enjoyed it.

as for your question, the short answer is yes absolutely. the long answer is that i've had the best of intentions towards that fic for a very long time, and it's no further along so although i am teeming over with plans and good intentions, i don't want to sit here making promises that i can't keep.

thank youuu :))

14. At what point in writing do you come up with a title?

occasionally, if i've been working on the fic for ages, i'll get a title earlier in the process. usually though i pick a taylor swift lyric that seems to fit five mins before i post (a solid 90% of my sidclaude titles come from 'gorgeous').

20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)

this is a really fun one! my biggest one is for defined by their histories, my monster media fic wip that i love with all my heart and tortures me on a daily basis.

so dbth spans fifteen years and in that time the internet changed beyond all recognition. it begins in 2005 in the heyday of all these early-adopter experimental bloggers, it goes right through the transformation of those blogger sites into genuine media juggernauts (gawker, buzzfeed), then the rise of social media (facebook, twitter), the collapse of print journalism, the collapse of those same media juggernauts, and finally the current trend we're seeing, a desperate grab at job security with the establishment of subscription sites (defector, substack, the athletic).

and the more i saw, the more i thought that fitted the fic amazingly well. because as sid matures, so does the internet.
