(Same!)(and awesome, sounds good, thanks! Early yesterday when I was resting on my 48k Tsunami laurels I was like huh I wonder how many words we have for Two Crows — so I started copying posts over to check and then things started getting progressively more glitchy and I was like no-no-nonono haha absolutely gut wrenching hour or two where I couldn’t access the site at all, not even laggy just completely locked out — so I’m all the more interested in having a back up of this! I’ve been working in a google doc so that it’s easy to pop back and forth between tabs. I assume it’ll be simplest if we just work independently then plop the docs together at the end so we don’t accidentally overlap or anything. Also, you are of course more than welcome to work however you wish, but what I’ve been doing is separating each post by a ~ where if we have like two POV in a single post then I just put a line break, so the ~ is exclusively to designate between you and I. I also if we agree to a time skip especially between groups or characters I’ve been doing a: ~ ~ ~
Like triple line of a single squiggle. I feel like this way at the very end we can do a ctrl+F and remove the total number of “words” each squiggle added so we can have an accurate word count. But again no pressure to do things my way — just figured I’d let you know how I’ve been tackling it!) (I actually have no idea if what I just said made sense so imma give an example):
You talk about Gaius here.
Then leave a break and talk about Tomhas since he sorta had a side conversation that was detached
~ squiggle and then we change to my characters POV
Same deal of character one.
And line break then character two if it’s relevant.
~ ~ ~
Jump to Zander (or whatever) as a brand new scene that we set up that is completely separate from what came before
(Does that make sense? It is late and I feel rambly)

Ky was getting overwhelmed by the number of things that were stacking up for her to be overwhelmed about. She’d somehow forgotten about how upset she was supposed to be about Zander, with how upset she’d been about Tomhas instead. But this was a clear reminder about how both the men she viewed as guardians were dead fucking set on dying. “You said he’s meeting with some of your contacts down there? Have you heard from any of them?”

Gaius's eyes lit up. "Actually I have--I'm sorry; I got a letter a couple days ago apparently but I haven't had access to my office for awhile."

That was frustrating. “They’ve seen Zander, then?”

"I expect so, unless it's something else. I'll have the letter brought in after dinner."

That was even more frustrating. He’d just been sitting on news that likely concerned Zander for days now without even looking at it? Why? It’s not like servants couldn’t bring the letters to his bedroom just as easily as they could bring them to his office. And if he could get his ass to the dining hall then he could have gone to his office too. Especially since he clearly damn well knew they were there. “…and will you tell me if it does?”

"You can come with me to read it, if you wish. If it pertains to Zander."

“Please,” Ky said, inclining her head. It was taking literally every single droplet of self control she had within her to stay calm and collected. To not yell at him or demand why he’d just been sitting on information for days. Demand why he didn’t give a fuck about staying up to date. No, that would just result in her getting treated like a child. Mustn’t have strong emotions if she wanted taken seriously. “I would appreciate that.”

He dipped his head. "I would have been on top of it sooner; I wasn't feeling well these past few days."

How did he always make her the villain? Always? Always had a way of calling her an asshole without actually having to say it. Which left her feeling like she did now: an asshole. “…I’m sorry to hear that. Are you feeling better now?”
