Upcoming things!

Posted on August 13, 2022August 13, 2022 by Jack Sinn

Hello everyone!

I wanted to give an update to what the next few weeks are going to look like.

Chapter 16 will be finished on Saturday, August 20th, and then Interpersonal Chemistry will be going on a posting hiatus for several weeks (approximately 4-6 weeks). It’ll be coming back NO LATER than Saturday, October 1st, but ideally it’ll be brought back in late September. There are several reasons that this is happening, which I’ll be transparent about:

  1. RE-EDITING. I’ve been desperate to re-edit the earlier chapters, ESPECIALLY the ones written in 2020. The plot won’t be changing at all, I just want to tighten up the grammar, and I need to do that in one go because that’s how my brain works.
  2. GENERAL EDITING. I also need to edit the upcoming chapters! The entire first draft of IC is written, but nothing is really edited ahead of time, which is. So dumb lol. I edit the updates like the day before (fuck, usually the MORNING OF) I post them. So I’d really prefer to have them ready to go and EVEN SCHEDULED (could you imagine? consistent timing??? gasp!!!), instead of my usual bullshit! Like the way that I’ve been working was FINE when I didn’t have anyone reading this, but people are reading it now! So maybe it’s time for me to step up and reward people with consistency.
  3. ILLUSTRATIONS! I stopped doing them around 4.2 I think? I got to this point where was rushing and the quality wasn’t great. Like they weren’t exactly ILLUSTRATIONS, just concept doodles, but I want to do more and have them look nice. Also I’m so much better at digital art than I was a year ago. I don’t think I could ever go back to doing ILLUSTRATIONS FOR EVERY UPDATE, that’s A LOT, but I’d like to do 1-2 per chapter? So I wanna take the time to get a bunch done.
  4. WEBSITE UPDATES. This is mostly an aesthetic thing, but I’d like to tweak a few things.

HOWEVER!!! It isn’t going to be a month of radio silence! There will still be content here every Wednesday and Saturday, because IC is my child and I am constantly and forever making stuff for it. So I haven’t yet narrowed it down, but here are some of the ideas that I’m throwing about:

(Please please PLEASE if you’re reading this and you have ANY input on what kind of stuff you’d like to see, drop a comment here or hell, leave an anonymous comment here)

-Illustrated wrestling terminology, concept art, Q&As, information snippets (about background characters or the settings/locations), playlists, and submissions.

Like seriously, if there’s a character that you want more info on, let me know! I have a BACKLOG of stuff that will never fit into the book, and would love to unload it, I just need to be pointed in a direction. Otherwise, I’ll probably post pages from the wrestling zines that I’m working on.

EDIT: I can also make a survey or Google Form or something like that if y’all want?


And finally, if you don’t mind spoilers or explicit content, I do have a few social media accounts for IC related content. There’s a Tumblr and I have a Twitter. To reiterate: THESE CONTAIN SPOILERS AND EXPLICIT WRITING/ART. I am also a mentally ill weirdo, so keep that in mind as well with my Twitter.

I think that covers it! If there’s any further questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

xoxo

Jack

    I’m glad you’re making improvements! (not shady!)
    Well, I know fuck all about wrestling, so anything you’ve got will be appreciated. ????
    As for characters… Nate has my interest. But unload it all if that’s what you wanna do! I’m a fan here.

      The improvements are WAY overdue, but the window to put a pause on updates kept evading me! But everything finally lined up AT LONG LAST, so I gotta take advantage!

      OH YAY, you’re the target audience for this zine, as it turns out! I’ve been trying to write IC in a way that’s 100% approachable for a non-wrestling fan, but at the same time I’ve always wanted to make a companion piece that’s easy to grasp and fun to read because wrestling CAN be overwhelming but it doesn’t HAVE to be! So this will be a really fun way to test those waters!

      AHHHHH NATE!!! Oh my GOSH I’m so glad you picked him, he’s one of my favs! Don’t worry, there will be a whole Nate update <333

    Ngl, I was too busy enjoying the story to notice any editing niggles in early chapters—not saying don’t edit ofc, just that your writing is plenty compelling for readers. Also the art pieces are delightful and we love em man, always a treat to see em! 😀 As for worldbuilding/backstory content we’d love to see: I’m intrigued by all of the suggestions you’ve got, including the wrestling zine pages! I’m basically a lore roomba, I like to go looking for all the things in the odd corners about backstories, the character concept art stored under the coffee table, and the info snippets hidden behind the draperies. I do have immediate questions like “How did Mitch find out about that one bakery in the next town he likes with his favorite garlic bagels? When did he discover garlic bagels were his favorite, and how?”, or “DID AVI KNOW ABOUT THE BAGEL FAVE?”, also “Did Avi have favorite wrestling personals before now and did he cook up the Van Helsing Hunter outfit on his own or by bouncing ideas with Jodie and/or Victor? That must’ve been a fun convo, did Avi pitch it or was it pitched to him?”, “How many layers of hidden secret moves does Maya have hidden before her final form?”, “Louis’s backstory details regarding urban exploration and graffiti art when??”, “Gasp will Sandy be working nearby once she has her degree? Is there a veterinary clinic she’s looking to hire on at, or does she have family in the business, etc? How’s her degree going and does she love her work?”

    Also, is there a list or map of the backlog info options? Pardon the slew of questions, I just love seeing what other worlds people are busy making. xD Thank you for the wonderful story and everything else as always!! 😀

Mitch Calvert is 29 years old, an independent wrestler, and a goddamn mess. After suffering an injury during a match and being put on the shelf, he gets dumped by his boyfriend and is forced to yet again pick up the pieces of his life. He struggles with his self worth, combats addiction and trauma, and begrudgingly falls in love with his new roommate that he definitely has no chance with.

But what can you do? It's either take life's beatdown without putting up any resistance, or grab a steel chair and start swinging back.
