i’ve answered that question at the end of the first bonus chap i added in 2021 but since it’s not up, i’ll just recap:
mike (as a film and arts student) is making indie movies and small projects while el (english literature student) writes books and publishes them
i'd like to think that they collaborate for a project at some point where el writes the script and mike produces the movie <3 for me, they don't ever get crazily famous but just enough for them to keep doing what they love
