there r def elements that could be cut to keep it a tighter, more manageable story, and it wouldn't necessarily make for a lesser story all in all? but i'm also really fond of all the storylines/themes/arcs/etc, and sometimes killing your darlings is difficult lol.. esp when you think those elements add to the overarching feel of that world and the many underdeveloped themes make sense to keep all together for the Full Picture? (even if this wip was mostly just meant to be messy incestuous lesbian friend group dating lol) but wahhh thanks for letting me know you've read and liked the wip TT means a lot to hear, really
