Chapters: 2/2 Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Jeon Jungkook/Park Jimin Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - College/University, Friends to Lovers, Friendship, Clubbing, Bad drunk decisions, Miscommunication, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Kim Taehyung Is The Best Friend Everybody Needs, Where Is My Kim Taehyung?, I Want My Kim Taehyung, yoonseok if you squint
Summary:
College years are over for Jimin. Seeing him leave is not as easy as Jungkook thought, especially after pining over him for three years.
Bottled-up emotions can't last forever. Drowning them is definitely not ideal, liquor never being the right way to solve a problem - but it's worth a shot.
Heya, hope you don't mind a few questions since I don't really know who to ask- what's a good way to establish/keep track of the pacing in a multichapter fic? I'm having trouble telling if mine is going well even though the people I've shown it so far say it's fine. And how do I keep the motivation to regularly post and update? Most of my fics are for a very rare pair I really love and some people read them, but the lack of readers sometimes really makes me struggle to keep writing :(
When it comes to pacing, I just try to make sure that there’s something in each chapter that moves the story forward. It might be moving the plot. It might be moving the characterization. But if there’s nothing in the chapter that keeps things rolling, then why is that chapter there? If your readers are asking that question, that’s when the pacing will feel off.
The same is also true if you have a dozen things happening in a single chapter. That could work for the climax of your story, but if you’re doing it in every chapter and your chapters aren’t 20K or more, then that’s probably too much all in one go and your readers might want you to slow down.
As for motivation, I strongly encourage you to find reasons to write and reasons to post that are disconnected from your readership. Readers come and go, fandoms wax and wane. You can’t control any of those sources of motivation. Tying your creativity to those benchmarks is just asking for a slump.
Instead, celebrate improvements in your writing, meeting a word goal, keeping to a schedule of writing or posting, making yourself laugh or cry. Those are all things that are within your control.

Why do I find this hilarious?! 🤣🤣🤣

I hear a lot of people bitching that they can’t leave kudos multiple times per story, or can’t leave kudos on every chapter, or whatever.
Well, take a page out of this marvelous book, because I swear I’ve never been so happy to receive kudos as waking up to multiple people having done this on multiple chapters on a story I just posted.
The bar just got raised, folks.
“I go through phases. Some days I feel like the person I’m supposed to be, and then some days I turn into no one at all. There is both me and my silhouette. I hope that on the days you find me and all I am are darkened lines, you still are willing to be near me.”
